Tom, I love this topic. The advice you gave during this podcast is a microcosm of the advice you gave on a wide variety of topics throughout your career (women, dating, investing, money, careers, & schooling) Thanks Tom ~ John

"... if you believe in security you have been duped..." I could not say it any better.

Not that its any surprise, but Tom is exactly on the money with this one.

My personal rule is I refuse to live in the past. Sure, I have memories that I look back on fondly, but I don't allow some misplaced nostalgic urge trap me forever in amber. I have a friend that is slowly stagnating, and its hard to watch. When we get together he wants to see the same movie from a list of 10 or so older movies that he likes. Nothing new, nothing beyond that small selection.

It shouldn't surprise anyone that this guy is involved with a woman he's been living with for years now. I guess this feeds into the "women are dream killers" topic that Tom talks about. Keep improving yourself, keep up with current events and social changes. You don't have to like or love any of them. Just be aware of them. Don't disconnect yourself from humanity because you love all that old stuff that was comforting to you.

Complacency and being comfortable is a warning. Don't miss that red flag, or it could come back on you.

Good show, Tom.

Everyone talks about "security" in a relationship and in a job, I knew that there was no such thing all along. Tom Leykis really explained it in detail.
