Do you save things that take up space that you know you will never, ever use again? This episode begins with some simple advice that will help you clear out some items from your home or office and free up some space for what’s really important.

That’s because people don’t realize how important smell is to your physical and emotional well-being. Joining me to explain why smell is important and how to make the most of it is Rachel Herz. She is a researcher who teaches at Brown University and Boston College and is author of the book The Scent of Desire: Discovering Our Enigmatic Sense of Smell (https://amzn.to/3gtkP21)  A lot of people believe that playing classical music helps plants grow.

Frequently, people put off those experiences until later in life – often after they retire.

Bill Perkins has given this a lot of thought. Bill is a hedge fund manager, Hollywood film producer, high stakes tournament poker player and author of the book Die With Zero: Getting All You Can from Your Money and Your Life (https://amzn.to/2YEt31d). He joins me to explain how timing is so important when it comes to the experiences in your life.
