Summary
Is mediocrity a worthy goal to
shoot for? I think most of us would say “no.” We’ll look at that in
our Thought of the Day. And later in our interview segment, Lisa
Copeland will share with us her principles for
Crushing
Mediocrity, which is
the name of her new book, as well as something she has lots of
personal experience doing. That and more on today’s
show.
