I\u2019m connecting with old and new connections on LinkedIn looking for knowledge.\u00a0\u00a0<br />\r\n<br />\r\nSpend time today learning.\u00a0 You never know where it'll lead you.<br />\r\n<br />\r\nYou can listen to my full conversation with David Cancel here.<br />\r\nThis post is from our new series, Daily Momentum.\u00a0 Each morning, we send a short, inspirational post via email, blog and podcast.\u00a0 You can get it\u00a0directly to your email here.\u00a0 You can\u00a0subscribe on iTunes here.","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300,"thumbnail_url":"https://artwork.captivate.fm/84060626-235a-42dc-9a40-a1eead6830e0/eAA1TPwy9oTcEamuijU4gpev.png"}
