It takes intentional action to disrupt stress and depression. Certainly, it is easier and quicker to become deeply stressed and depressed than it is to climb out of those slumps. And today it seems as if unless we forcibly block out social media, "news" outlets and even a lot of entertainment, we are constantly swimming upstream against a relentless wave of fear, anger and struggle being sent downstream on a regular basis. This is what makes people like Bobby Sausalito so special. 

You may know Bobby at @takenaps, if you follow him online. We know him as a friend, colleague, and guest for this episode. 

Bobby almost accidentally found viral success when a video he posted took off online. In it, Bobby was saying out loud what so many Americans were afraid to voice: his frustration with current events, elected leaders, non-elected people in power, and the astonishing amount of Americans who so willingly line up to surrender freedoms in the pursuit of "safety" or government handouts. 

What makes Bobby's delivery so different and appealing is more than his careful research and statistics to back his statements up - it's the comedic way he delivers each message. 

He lets us absorb stressful information in healthy, digestible nuggets, so we better process the garbage of current events without choking on them. He then invites us to do our own part by voicing our own thoughts and refusing to give in to cancel culture or unconstitutional power grabs while also taking a proactive stance by building our personal net worth, safeguarding our health and family, and maintaining autonomy over our time. 

It's a brilliant and op-point blend of  exposing the absurdity running amuck in the world and our country, while infusing optimism and hope into the message. 

Bobby Sausalito was a featured speaker at our great American Summit last year, and we've invited him back for next year's event, too (details coming soon!)
