3185: The Daily Refresh | Quotes - Gratitude - Guided Breathing

from The Daily Refresh · host John Lee Dumas

A daily quote to inspire the mind, gratitude to warm the soul, and guided breathing to energize the body. Quote: "Founders only sell [their company] when they have no more concrete visions for the company, in which case the acquirer probably overpaid; definite founders with robust plans don't sell, which means the offer wasn't high enough. When Yahoo! offered to buy Facebook for $1 billion in July 2006, I thought we should at least consider it. But Mark Zuckerberg walked into the board meeting and announced: "Okay, guys, this is just a formality, it shouldn't take more than 10 minutes. We're obviously not going to sell here.'" - Peter Theil Gratitude: Keyboard Shortcuts Guided Breathing: Equal Breathing.

TRANSCRIPT · AUTO-GENERATED

Amazon presents Laura vs. fruit flies. Swarming your fruit and terrorizing your kitchen, these little freaks multiply at a rate that would make a rabbit say, yo, chill. But Laura shopped on Amazon and saved on cleaning spray, countertop wipes, and fly traps.

Hey, fruit flies, your baby boom ends here. Save the everyday with Amazon. Hey, Johnny Doomers here, and welcome back to The Daily Refresh, where I share a quote, gratitude, and guided breathing in under three minutes. And today's quote is a doozy by Peter Thiel.

Founders only sell their company when they have no more concrete visions for the company, in which case the acquirer probably overpaid. Definite founders with robust plans don't sell, which means the offer wasn't high enough. When Yahoo offered to buy Facebook for $1 billion in July of 2006, I thought we should at least consider it, but Mark Zuckerberg walked into the board meeting and announced, okay guys, it's just a formality. You shouldn't take more than 10 minutes.

We're obviously not going to sell here. Fire Nation, that is somebody, Mark Zuckerberg, a founder with a robust vision of what he was going to create, period. Exciting end of story. I love stuff like this.

So cool. And something unique to be grateful for, how about for words, whether they're either written or spoken or signed, that give life meaning and give meaning to our lives. Words, something to be grateful for. Now take a few seconds and think of something unique in your life that you're grateful for.

It will warm your soul. And now it's time for guided breathing. So grab a seat and remember, all breathing is through the nose, and we'll be breathing in for a count of four, out for a count of four, a total of five times, which will fully circulate amazing oxygen into your body. We'll begin in three, two, one.

Inhale through the nose, two, three, four. Exhale through the nose, two, three, four. Inhale, two, three, four. Exhale, two, three, four.

Inhale, two, three, four. Exhale, two, three, four. Inhale, two, three, four. Exhale, two, three, four.

Inhale, two, three, four. Exhale, two, three, four. Relax. Congratulations on completing The Daily Refresh.
