“That's taxpayer’s money that is going to support research and development and pilot projects to develop a food system that is based on environmental destruction and greed and disregard for animals, fish, and any of the other marine mammals that might be around it.” - Andrianna Natsoulas Andrianna Natsoulas is the campaign director for Don't Cage Our Oceans, an organization that exists to keep our oceans free from industrial fish farms. Offshore finfish farming is the mass cultivation of finfish in marine waters, in underwater or floating net pens, pods, and cages. Offshore finfish farms are factory farms that harm public health, the environment, and local communities and economies that rely on the ocean and its resources. Don’t Cage Our Oceans are a coalition of diverse organizations working together to stop the development of offshore finfish farming in the United States through federal law, policies, and coalition building. And, although it is not yet happening, right now the US Administration and Congress are promoting this kind of farming, which would be nothing short of disastrous for the oceans, the planet and the people and animals who live here. dontcageouroceans.org…

Welcome to The Daily Quote – a podcast designed to kickstart your day in a positive way. I'm your host, Andrew McGivern, for January 10th.
Now, let's dive in. Today is Quitters Day, which, on the surface, sounds a little grim, doesn’t it? This is the day when people are most likely to give up on their New Year’s resolutions. Let’s face it—those January 1st goals seemed so shiny and doable just last week, during New Year’s Resolutions Week. You had your game face on, your "new year, new me" mantra ringing in your ears. But now, January 10th rolls around, and suddenly, hitting snooze feels a lot more appealing than hitting the gym.
And yet, there’s hope! It’s also January, which is National Mentoring Month—a perfect reminder that we don’t have to navigate these goals alone. Whether it’s through seeking advice, offering a helping hand, or leaning on the wisdom of someone who’s been there, mentoring is about building each other up. So, even if you’re tempted to throw in the towel today, I’m here to tell you: don’t quit—pivot.
That brings us to today’s quote, from legendary basketball coach John Wooden:
"Do not let what you cannot do interfere with what you can do."
Let that sink in for a moment. You see, when you start slipping on your goals, it’s easy to focus on what’s gone wrong. You missed a day, maybe even two. You indulged in dessert after swearing it off. Or maybe you realized you bit off more than you could chew in the first place. But as Wooden reminds us, success isn’t about perfection—it’s about progress. Instead of dwelling on the workout you missed, lace up your sneakers today. If you’ve fallen behind on reading, pick up the book and start where you left off.
Here’s the thing: Quitters Day doesn’t have to be a self-fulfilling prophecy. It can be the day you dig deep, shake off the doubt, and re-commit to the vision you had for yourself on January 1st. Take a cue from National Mentoring Month. Find someone to talk to about your struggles, or better yet, encourage someone else who’s faltering. Sometimes helping someone else find their footing can strengthen your resolve too.
So today, let’s reframe Quitters Day. Instead of walking away from your goals, let’s call it Recommitment Day. Because you can’t change yesterday, but you can absolutely take control of today.
Thanks for spending this moment with me. Remember John Wooden’s advice: focus on what you can do, and don’t let setbacks define you. You’ve got this.
And if this is your first episode of the Daily Quote, jump back to January 1st (of this year) and listen to the last nine episodes to catch up. That might help get you back on track too. And to make sure you get new episodes hit that follow button in the app your listening in right now.
I'm Andrew McGivern, signing off for today. Stay strong, stay focused, and keep moving forward. I'll be back tomorrow same pod time, same pod station, for another Daily Quote!

1 Ernest Hemingway - Always do sober what you said you’d do drunk. That will teach you to keep your mouth shut 3:26
The Daily Quote podcast page The Daily Quote FACEBOOK page The Great News Letter Voicemail feedback line – 1-877-636-1474 CONTACT ME Welcome to The Daily Quote—a podcast designed to kickstart your day in a positive way. I'm your host, Andrew McGivern, fro March 5th. Now, today’s holiday is one of those unofficial, slightly ridiculous, but still fantastic celebrations: Cinco de Marcho ! If you haven’t heard of it before, it’s essentially a lighthearted excuse to start "training" for St. Patrick’s Day—a full 12 days early. Because, you know, drinking holidays apparently require preparation. Hydration, stamina, maybe a few warm-up toasts… it’s basically the Olympics, but with margaritas. So, in honor of this wonderfully unnecessary yet entertaining holiday, today’s quote comes from none other than Ernest Hemingway , a man who knew a thing or two about both writing and, well… celebrating life. “Always do sober what you said you’d do drunk. That will teach you to keep your mouth shut.” Now, Hemingway was known for his no-nonsense, straight-to-the-point wisdom, and this one really hits home. We've all been there—promising the world after a few too many. "Yeah, I’ll totally run that marathon with you!" or "Let’s open a taco truck together!" or my personal favorite, "I’m gonna wake up at 5 AM and turn my life around!" And then morning comes… and suddenly, reality is a lot less enthusiastic about those plans. So, whether you’re toasting to Cinco de Marcho today or just enjoying the humor in Hemingway’s words, the lesson is clear: be careful what you commit to—because if you hold yourself accountable for everything you say, well… you might just end up running that marathon. Or worse—owning a taco truck you don’t know how to operate.... or in my case - Singing at my sisters wedding! That’s it for today’s episode of The Daily Quote. If you enjoyed it, make sure to subscribe and share it with a friend who might need a little wisdom (or a little warning) before their next night out. I’ll see you back here tomorrow—until then, drink responsibly, dream boldly, and maybe write your ideas down before committing to them. I'm Andrew McGivern, signing off for today but I'll be back tomorrow same pod time, same pod station for another Daily Quote.…
1 Arthur Ashe - You are never really playing an opponent. You are playing yourself, your own highest standards, and when you reach your limits, that is real joy 2:44
The Daily Quote podcast page The Daily Quote FACEBOOK page The Great News Letter Voicemail feedback line – 1-877-636-1474 CONTACT ME Welcome to The Daily Quote—a podcast designed to kickstart your day in a positive way. I’m your host, Andrew McGivern, for March 4th. Now, let’s talk about today's national holiday. It’s National Sportsmanship Day , a day dedicated to celebrating fairness, respect, and good character in sports—and, let’s be honest, in life too. Because let’s face it, we’ve all seen those moments where someone wins but acts like a sore loser, or loses but somehow still acts like an even bigger sore loser. True sportsmanship isn’t just about playing the game—it’s about how you handle the outcome. And that brings us to today’s quote, from tennis legend Arthur Ashe : “You are never really playing an opponent. You are playing yourself, your own highest standards, and when you reach your limits, that is real joy.” Ashe, a man known not just for his skill but for his grace on and off the court, knew that the real competition isn’t with the person on the other side of the net. It’s with your own ego, your own doubts, and your own willingness to push yourself. That’s the essence of sportsmanship—not just playing to win, but playing with integrity, respecting the game, and improving yourself along the way. And honestly, this applies far beyond sports. Whether it’s in the workplace, relationships, or just trying to be a better version of yourself, the real challenge isn’t beating someone else—it’s being better than you were yesterday. So, on this National Sportsmanship Day, take a moment to appreciate not just the victories, but the lessons that come with every challenge. Because in the end, the person you’re really competing with is looking right back at you in the mirror. That’s it for today’s episode of The Daily Quote. Thanks for joining me, and remember—win with humility, lose with grace, and always play the game with heart. I’ll see you back here tomorrow, same pod time, same pod station for another Daily Quote.…

I'm your host, Andrew McGivern, for March 3rd. Now, if you love breakfast, today is your lucky day because it’s Canadian Bacon Day ! Yes, the superior cousin of regular bacon—leaner, rounder, and slightly more sophisticated. And if you’re feeling like you should balance that out with something a little healthier, don’t worry—it’s also Global Omega-3 Day , celebrating those essential fatty acids that keep your heart and brain in top shape. So, whether you’re team bacon or team fish oil, today has something yummy or good for you. Maybe go with the Omega 3 oil because it is National Nutrition Month after all... Now, let’s bring it all together with today’s quote from Jim Rohn , who once said, "Take care of your body. It's the only place you have to live." Now, Jim Rohn was big on personal development, and that includes taking care of yourself—physically, mentally, and yes, nutritionally. So, while you enjoy your Canadian bacon, maybe pair it with something good for your heart. Balance isn’t about giving up the things you love; it’s about making choices that let you enjoy life longer. So today, treat yourself—but also take care of yourself. Maybe that means bacon with a side of salmon. Or, if that’s too much food, just chase your breakfast with an Omega-3 supplement and call it even. It's not like it is Canadian Bacon day every day! This reminds me of the quote we featured on July 2nd last year by Oscar Wilde , who once said. "Everything in moderation, including moderation." Now, I think Oscar Wilde would’ve made an excellent brunch guest. This quote is a reminder that while balance is key, sometimes, you've got to let loose a little—maybe with an extra serving of Canadian bacon. Life isn’t about strict rules; it’s about enjoying the good stuff without going overboard. So today, embrace the spirit of moderation—just moderately. Maybe start your day with some Canadian bacon, sprinkle in a little Omega-3, and most importantly, savor the flavor and enjoy the moment. And for my American friends, if President Trump has tariffed Canadian Bacon and now you have to pay more... well you voted for this I guess? Trump probably thinks, we don't need your Canadian Bacon, we have American Bacon. Well, you'll have to wait for American Bacon Day I guess. Or just pay the extra 25%. That’s it for today’s Daily Quote. If this episode made you rethink your breakfast choices, be sure to follow the show. I’m Andrew McGivern signing off for today, and I’ll be back tomorrow, same pod time, same pod station, for another Daily Quote.…

I'm your host, Andrew McGivern, for March 2nd. Now, today is World Teen Mental Wellness Day , a day dedicated to raising awareness about the importance of mental health for teenagers. And honestly, that’s something we should all care about because—let’s be real—teenagers deal with a lot. School stress, social pressures, hormone changes, hair growing in weird places, the occasional existential crisis about what to do with their lives… and that’s before you even factor in the horror of realizing you accidentally said a nice thing to your Dad! This week also happens to be Words Matter Week , which ties in beautifully with both yesterday’s World Compliment Day and today’s focus on mental wellness. Because let’s face it—words have power. The things we say to others and the things we say to ourselves can either lift us up or drag us down. And if you’ve ever been on the receiving end of an unexpected compliment, you know how much a few kind words can brighten your entire day. That brings me to today’s quote from Lisa M. Hayes, which is lighthearted but also incredibly relevant. Lisa M. Hayes is a life coach, author, and relationship expert known for her work in personal development and self-improvement. She specializes in helping people cultivate positive mindsets and build healthier relationships. She once said, "Be careful how you are talking to yourself because you are listening." Now, if that isn’t a wake-up call, I don’t know what is. We all have that inner voice, and sometimes it’s a little… let’s say, unkind. You wouldn’t walk up to a friend and say, “Wow, you really messed that up. Nice job, genius.” So why is it somehow acceptable to say it to yourself? Today, in honor of World Teen Mental Wellness Day and Words Matter Week, let’s make an effort to be kinder—to others and to ourselves. Give someone an uplifting word, and while you’re at it, throw one in your own direction too. If nothing else, tell yourself, “You’re doing great.” Because you are. That’s it for today’s Daily Quote. If this episode brightened your day even a little, share it with someone who might need a boost too. Follow the show and you will get a daily quote to keep the positivity going. Be kind to yourself. After all, you are listening. And I'll be back, same pod time, same pod station with another Daily Quote.…

The Daily Quote podcast page The Daily Quote FACEBOOK page The Great News Letter Voicemail feedback line – 1-877-636-1474 CONTACT ME Welcome to The Daily Quote—a podcast designed to kickstart your day in a positive way. I'm your host, Andrew McGivern, for March 1st. Now, today is World Compliment Day , which means it’s the perfect excuse to brighten someone’s day with a simple, heartfelt compliment. And no, I’m not talking about the generic, “Nice shirt,” or “You have a great energy” line you throw out when you don’t know what else to say. I mean real compliments—the kind that make people feel seen, appreciated, and maybe even a little embarrassed in the best way. And that brings us to today’s quote from Leo Buscaglia , who once said... “Too often we underestimate the power of a touch, a smile, a kind word, a listening ear, an honest compliment, or the smallest act of caring, all of which have the potential to turn a life around.” Leo Buscaglia—also known as “Dr. Love”—was all about human connection, and he makes a powerful point here. We tend to think that making a difference in someone’s life requires some grand gesture—buying them a car, paying off their mortgage, or at the very least, showing up at their house with a puppy. But in reality, it’s the small things, like a simple compliment, that can change someone’s day—or even their life. Think about it—when was the last time someone gave you a truly unexpected, sincere compliment? Not because they had to, but because they wanted to? You probably remember it. That’s how much impact a few kind words can have. So, here’s your challenge today: Give at least one genuine compliment. Not a throwaway one, not something vague, but something real. Tell your coworker their hard work hasn’t gone unnoticed. Let a friend know how much their kindness means to you. And if you really want to make someone’s day, look in the mirror and give yourself one too. Because let’s be honest—you deserve it. That’s it for today’s episode of The Daily Quote. If you enjoyed this, consider sharing it with someone who could use a little positivity today. And hey, I’ll start: You, my friend, are awesome for taking a few minutes out of your day to focus on something uplifting. You rule! I’ll see you tomorrow, same pod time, same pod station, for another Daily Quote.…
The Daily Quote podcast page The Great News Podcast page The Great News Letter Voicemail feedback line – 1-877-636-1474 CONTACT ME Welcome to The Daily Quote—a podcast designed to kickstart your day in a positive way. I’m your host, Andrew McGivern, for February 28th. Now, if you woke up this morning feeling a little sluggish, maybe a little under the weather, let me ask you this—did you take your vitamin C? Because today, we’re celebrating Linus Pauling Da y, honoring the legendary scientist who championed the power of nutrition in human health. Pauling wasn’t just any scientist—he was a two-time unshared Nobel Prize winner and the father of orthomolecular medicine, a field that promotes optimal health through proper molecular balance, especially with vitamins. And that brings us to today’s quote, straight from the man himself: Linus Pauling once said... "The best way to have a good idea is to have lots of ideas." Now, Pauling wasn’t just full of ideas—he was overflowing with them. He revolutionized chemistry, laid the groundwork for quantum mechanics in biology, and then, in the later years of his career, took on the medical establishment with his research on vitamin C and cardiovascular disease. His theory? That high doses of vitamin C could boost the immune system and even help prevent heart disease. Now, this idea was… let's just say, controversial. The medical world wasn’t exactly rolling out the red carpet for his theories. But Pauling believed that science should challenge conventional wisdom, not just reinforce it. And in many ways, time has been kind to his insights—modern research continues to explore the links between vitamin C, inflammation, and heart health. So, what does his quote mean for you? Well, if you want to have great ideas, you need to generate a lot of them. Some will be brilliant, some will be... well, less so. But creativity and innovation thrive on volume. Even if nine out of ten ideas don’t work, that one idea could change everything. So, take a lesson from Linus Pauling today—whether it’s in your work, your health, or your personal life, don’t be afraid to think big, think different, and most importantly, think often. Oh, and maybe grab an orange while you're at it. Way back in 2008, my first podcast was a Natural Health show with Croft Woodruff. He was a Natural Health Guru and could be called a disciple of Linus Pauling and Abraham Hoffer. Croft was a big proponent of vitamin C and I remember him talking about Linus Pauling all the time. He passed away a few years ago but that podcast is still available of you are interested in the topic. Croft was also a little controversial by the way... he went down a few rabbit holes. That’s it for today’s episode of The Daily Quote. Remember to get your daily dose of both Vitamin C and vitamin Q. I can't help you with the vitamin C, you'll have to go to your vitamin store or just eat lots of citrus, peppers and other veggies. But for vitamin Q I can help you but you have to follow the show in your podcast app to get a Daily Q every day. This is a good end to the month as February is American Heart Month in the US and tomorrow is the start of National Nutrition Month. Linus Pauling is a good fit for both themes. Anyway, I'll be back tomorrow, same pod time, same pod station with another Daily Quote.…
Welcome to The Daily Quote—a podcast designed to kickstart your day in a positive way. I'm your host, Andrew McGivern, for February 27th. Now, today is No Brainer Day ! Yes, you heard that right—a whole day dedicated to making life as easy as possible. The idea is simple: don’t overcomplicate things. If something is obvious, just do it. If a decision is clear, make it. And if you’re debating whether or not to eat that last slice of pizza—well, come on, that’s a no-brainer. It’s the perfect excuse to avoid analysis paralysis, skip the mental gymnastics, and just go with the obvious choice. Like, should you hit snooze for the fifth time this morning? No brainer—just get up. Should you have coffee? No brainer—of course, you should. Should you listen to this podcast every day? Absolute no brainer. I mean come on! Daily is in the name of the show... NO BRAINER. That brings us to today’s quote, fittingly from one of the most straightforward thinkers of all time, Albert Einstein : Who once said, “The definition of genius is taking the complex and making it simple.” Einstein, arguably one of the greatest minds in history, knew that true brilliance isn’t about making things harder—it’s about making them clearer. Which, if you think about it, means we all get to feel like geniuses today. No need for overanalyzing, second-guessing, or running through a hundred “what if” scenarios. Just simplify, act, and move on. So today, embrace the “no brainer” approach. Don’t stress over minor decisions, don’t overthink that email, and for the love of all things simple, don’t spend 20 minutes debating what to watch on Netflix. They are all probably equally silly anyway. Pick something and go with it. Einstein would be proud. That’s it for today’s episode of The Daily Quote. If you enjoyed it, share it with a friend—it’s a no brainer. I’ll see you tomorrow same pod time, same pod station for another Daily Quote.…

I'm your host, Andrew McGivern, for February 26th. Now, today is Carpe Diem Day ! That’s right, it’s the official day to seize the day. Not that you can’t seize the other 364 days of the year, but today, you’re basically required to. No pressure. It's the official reminder to stop procrastinating and start living. Think of it as the universe nudging you and saying, “Hey, what are you waiting for?” And that brings us to today’s quote, from the late, great Robin Williams in Dead Poets Society: “Carpe diem. Seize the day, boys. Make your lives extraordinary.” Now, let’s be honest—most of us want to live extraordinary lives, but then we hit the snooze button and suddenly it's noon. But the truth is, extraordinary isn’t about grand gestures or life-altering moments. It’s about making the most of the moments you have. Carpe Diem Day is a reminder that time doesn’t wait. There’s no pause button, no rewind. So if there’s something you’ve been putting off—starting that passion project, telling someone how you really feel, or just stepping outside your comfort zone—today is the day. Not next week. Not someday. Today. Because at the end of it all, the best stories in life don’t start with “Not today but maybe someday I'll get to it.” They start with action. So go out there, seize the day, and make it count. Even if that just means finally folding that pile of laundry staring at you from the chair. That’s it for today’s episode but remember if you seize the day today you will have a great day but if you seize the day every day - you will have a great life. Wow... Maybe I'll be quoting myself in another episode... "If you seize the day today you will have a great day but if you seize the day every day, you will have a great life!" -Andrew McGivern I’ll be back tomorrow same pod time, same pod station with another Daily Quote.…
The Daily Quote podcast page The Great News Podcast page The Great News Letter Voicemail feedback line – 1-877-636-1474 CONTACT ME Welcome to The Daily Quote – a podcast designed to kickstart your day in a positive way. I'm your host, Andrew McGivern, for February 25th. Now, today is Let’s All Eat Right Day, which is a day dedicated to making healthier food choices, honoring nutrition, and, let’s be honest, probably feeling a little guilty about that pizza you had last night. No judgment—I’m right there with you. In honor of this day, I’ve chosen a quote from none other than Hippocrates , the ancient Greek physician who is often called the father of modern medicine. He said: "Let food be thy medicine and medicine be thy food." Now, Hippocrates was onto something, even back in 400 B.C. He understood that what you put into your body directly affects your health, energy, and overall well-being. It’s a simple yet powerful idea—eat well, feel well. Eat junk, well... you might feel like junk. Of course, in today’s world, “healthy eating” is a bit of a moving target. One day, eggs are bad for you; the next day, they’re a superfood. Fat was the enemy in the '90s, and now we’re putting butter in coffee and calling it Bullet Proof Coffee. And even coffee was bad for you and now it reduces all cause mortality and helps with a number of diseases. But the core idea remains: real, whole foods nourish you, while processed junk... well, it mostly just nourishes the snack industry. So, on Let’s All Eat Right Day, maybe take a moment to appreciate the power of good food. Swap out that bag of chips for some fruit, add an extra serving of veggies to your plate, or at least drink some water instead of that third cup of coffee. Small choices add up. I remember I was at a party and people were talking about nutrition and I said I saw a documentary where a plant based diet cured people of chronic diseases after only a couple months. And I saw another documentary where a high fat, high protein diet also cured people of their chronic ailments in short order. The people at the party said both documentaries were a load of BS. But I said what if they are both right. Because even though these diets are polar opposites of each other, the one thing they have in common is they only allow you to eat real, unprocessed food. Both diets completely eliminated processed foods. So maybe, whether your a vegan or a carnivore. You can both be healthy as long as you don't eat anything that comes in a box or a can. Just Food for thought... That’s it for today’s episode Now, go forth, eat something that would make Hippocrates proud, and have an amazing day. I'll be back tomorrow, same pod time, same pod station with another Daily Quote.…
1 Eminem - You have enemies? Good. That means you’ve stood up for something, sometime in your life 3:33
The Daily Quote podcast page The Great News Podcast page The Great News Letter Voicemail feedback line – 1-877-636-1474 CONTACT ME Welcome to The Daily Quote—a podcast designed to kickstart your day in a positive way. I'm your host, Andrew McGivern, for February 24th. Now, let’s talk about something divisive. No, not politics—something far more controversial: coriander (or cilantro, depending on your geography). Yes, today is I Hate Coriander Day , a day dedicated to all the people who think coriander tastes like soap. And science actually backs them up! Some people have a genetic trait that makes coriander taste like dishwater, while the rest of the world enjoys it in guacamole, curries, and, well… just about everything. So, in the spirit of strong opinions, today’s quote comes from none other than Eminem . "You have enemies? Good. That means you’ve stood up for something, sometime in your life." Variations of this quote have been attributed to others like Winston Churchill, Thomas Jefferson and Victor Hugo. But I'm going with Eminem today. Now, I doubt Eminem was referring to coriander when he said this, but let’s be honest—if you’ve ever voiced a hatred for this herb, you have made enemies. The pro-coriander camp is fierce. They’ll defend its “fresh, citrusy” taste to the grave, while you’re over here wondering why your taco suddenly tastes like it was rinsed in a sink full of soap suds. But Eminem's words remind us that having strong opinions—even about the small things—means you stand for something. Maybe it’s coriander, maybe it’s pineapple on pizza, maybe it’s the 80's Mullet (which, for the record, I fully support). The point is, having an opinion and standing by it is part of what makes you - you. So today, whether you’re passionately against coriander or just have a firm stance on something else, own it. Defend it. And if you’re dealing with pushback, just remember—having a few enemies means you’re doing something right. I love Cilantro and the first time I heard about this soap controversy was when we had friends over for dinner and we were talking about the best Pho restaurants in town. She didn't like my favorite because they use too much Cilantro and she said she is one of THOSE PEOPLE that only taste soap when they eat Cilantro. I said, soap? really? That is odd... And ever since that moment I TASTE SOAP too.. somehow that gene activated as soon as I was aware of the possibility that it tasted like soap. For the record, even though I taste soap I still really enjoy adding cilantro to certain foods. The soapy taste is there but I still like it. It is still good. That’s gonna do it for today. I’ll be back tomorrow, same pod time, same pod station with another Daily Quote.…

I'm your host, Andrew McGivern, for February 23rd. Now, today is National Rationalization Day —a day dedicated to the mental gymnastics we all perform to justify, well… just about anything. Skipped the gym? “It’s a rest day.” Ate an entire pizza? “Cheese has calcium.” Procrastinating on a project? “I work better under pressure.” Rationalization: the art of convincing yourself that all your decisions are, in fact, great decisions. And that brings me to today’s quote from Brian Trace y, who once said: "Almost any decision is better than no decision at all." Now, this quote is great because it acknowledges that indecision can often be worse than making the “wrong” choice. But it also ties in beautifully with National Rationalization Day, because sometimes we make a decision and then spend way too much time justifying it instead of just moving forward. You know how it goes—you hesitate, second-guess yourself, and suddenly, instead of making progress, you’re deep in an internet rabbit hole, reading about the sleeping habits of penguins. (It happens. Don’t judge.) Brian Tracy’s wisdom is a reminder that action is key. Even if you don’t have all the answers, moving forward means you’re learning, adjusting, and actually getting somewhere. And if it turns out you made the wrong decision? Well, lucky for you—it’s National Rationalization Day. Just tell yourself it was all part of the plan. So today, embrace the art of decision-making, but maybe take it easy on the rationalization part. Instead of justifying why you didn’t start that thing you’ve been meaning to do, just… start. No overthinking, no mental gymnastics—just action. That’s it for The Daily Quote and remember - make a decision and own it.

I’m your host, Andrew McGivern, for February 22nd. Now, did you know that today is Single Tasking Day? That’s right—this is the day where we celebrate the radical idea of doing one thing at a time. Revolutionary, isn’t it? In a world where multitasking is treated like some kind of superpower, Single Tasking Day is here to remind us that maybe—just maybe—we should stop juggling five things at once and actually focus. And that brings us to today’s quote from Richard Cecil, who once said: "The shortest way to do many things is to do only one thing at a time." Now, Richard Cecil wasn’t some modern productivity guru—he was an 18th-century clergyman. And yet, here we are, hundreds of years later, still needing to hear this simple truth. Think about it—how often do you start an email, get a text, open social media, then suddenly find yourself watching a video about how to train a raccoon to fetch your slippers? Yeah, it happens. But the reality is, multitasking usually just makes everything take longer and leads to more mistakes. Science backs this up—our brains aren’t designed to handle multiple complex tasks at once. So today, in honor of Single Tasking Day, try doing just one thing at a time. Fully focus on that report, enjoy your lunch without scrolling, or—dare I say—listen to this podcast without also checking your email. Your mind will thank you. That’s it for today’s episode. Take a breath, slow down, and remember—sometimes the fastest way forward is to do one thing instead of three. I’ll see you tomorrow, same pod time, same pod station for another Daily Quote.…
1 Rita Mae Brown – Language is the road map of a culture. It tells you where its people come from and where they are going 3:01
The Daily Quote podcast page The Great News Podcast page The Great News Letter Voicemail feedback line – 1-877-636-1474 CONTACT ME Welcome to The Daily Quote—a podcast designed to kickstart your day in a positive way. I'm your host, Andrew McGivern, for February 21st. Now, let’s talk about today’s national holiday. It’s Language Day—a day dedicated to celebrating the power of words, the beauty of communication and linguistic diversity. There are over 7000 languages spoken around the world, many of which may be extinct in a few decades. Language Day and International Mother Language Day helps to bring awareness to the preservation of languages that are fading into history. Words connect us to our culture, and, shape our thoughts. And that brings us to today’s quote from Rita Mae Brown , who once said: "Language is the road map of a culture. It tells you where its people come from and where they are going." Think about that for a second. Language isn’t just about communication—it’s about identity, history, and even the future. Every phrase, every dialect, every little regional slang carries the weight of generations. The way we speak isn’t just about words—it’s about where we come from and where we’re headed. If you've ever been corrected on the "proper" way to say something, you know how language evolves over time. Shakespeare’s English is practically a foreign language today, and who knows—maybe in a few hundred years, people will be studying our text messages like ancient scrolls. Maybe ALL our words will be replaced with emoji by then. But in all seriousness, today is a reminder that languages are fragile. When a language disappears, a unique way of seeing the world disappears with it. So whether you speak one language, two, or ten, take a moment today to appreciate the richness of words, their power, and the stories they tell. And if you are interested in learning a new language there is a free tool I've been using recently that uses the thinking method. Go to Language Transfer Dot Org and check it out. They have several languages to choose from and they focus on all the words that are the same in English so that that you start with 3000 words you already know. Which for me makes a big difference in giving you a little more confidence in the beginning to keep plugging along. That’s it for today’s episode.

I’m your host, Andrew McGivern, for February 20th. Now, let’s get into it. Today is Comfy Day , a celebration of all things soft, warm, and relaxing. Whether that means staying in bed a little longer, wrapping yourself in a blanket like a human burrito, or drinking something hot while avoiding all responsibilities—today is about embracing comfort in its finest form. And in honor of Comfy Day, today’s quote comes from the legendary Winnie the Pooh Winnie the Pooh —who, let’s be honest, is basically the mascot for comfort. He said: "Doing nothing often leads to the very bet something." Now, I know we live in a world where “doing nothing” is often seen as a crime. Productivity is king, and if you’re not busy, you must be slacking. But Pooh, in his infinite honey-fueled wisdom, reminds us that some of life’s best moments happen when we stop trying so hard. Ever had a great idea while daydreaming? Or solved a problem after stepping away from it? That’s the magic of stillness. When you let yourself relax, your mind and body have space to recharge, reset, and make room for creativity, joy, and, let’s be real, probably a nap. So today, embrace Comfy Day with zero guilt. Take that break. Lounge a little longer. Let yourself do nothing—because, as Pooh says, that nothing just might turn into something great. That’s it for today’s episode. Thanks for spending part of your Comfy Day with me. If you enjoyed this, be sure to tune in tomorrow for another daily dose of inspiration. Until then, stay cozy, stay present, and remember—sometimes, the best thing to do is nothing at all. I'll be back tomorrow, same pod time, same pod station with another Daily Quote.…

I’m your host, Andrew McGivern, for February 19th. Did you know that today is Tug of War Day? Yes, that classic game where two teams battle it out, pulling on opposite ends of a rope, hoping to drag their opponents into defeat—or, in some cases, a mud pit. It’s a test of strength, teamwork, and, let’s be honest, stubbornness. And that brings us to today’s quote from Margaret Thatcher , who once said: "You may have to fight a battle more than once to win it." Now, The Iron Lady wasn’t talking about an actual tug of war match, but let’s be real—life often feels like one. Whether it’s your career, personal goals, or even just convincing yourself to go to the gym, success isn’t always about one big pull; sometimes, you have to keep yanking at it until you finally gain ground. Think about it—how often do you feel like you’re in a constant struggle? Maybe it’s a project at work, a personal challenge, or a dream you’re chasing. You pull, life pulls back. You make progress, then suddenly, you’re sliding in the other direction. But here’s the key: the only way you lose for sure is if you let go of the rope. So today, whether you’re literally playing Tug of War (which, by the way, I fully support) or just facing a battle in life, remember this—every pull, every effort, every setback is just another round. Keep going, and eventually, you’ll pull through. That’s it for today’s episode. If you enjoyed this, share it with a friend who might need a little extra motivation.
