Show notes

The Catching a Break Episode: H3, Accordion Hood, The Lifted Weight, Infinite Breaks, Artuo and the 80 Hours, Passing the Breaks, Infinite Payoff, An Office Break, A Traffic Court Appearance. Thoughts on how both giving and recieving breaks, the lifting of obligation, is some of the best investment on both sides. I didn't mention it in the episode, but interestingly, with a nearly 15 year difference, my office where I caught a break in the lease is located roughly 800 feet from the court where I didn't. There is nothing to learn from that fact.
