This time around he understands the value of Opportunity! In business or just in Life, it's important we know how to ask ourselves "What is this Worth for my time?" Mental health, family time, peace, business growth, and revenue are all some of the things that Art values so it's important that everything he does is a path to at least one of those things, otherwise it is not Worth the Time...

    When you're first starting something, ESPECIALLY a business, its so important that everything is organized and clean, but there is a big difference between "clean and organized" and "perfect". When your business or goal in general needs growth or a step forward, it's important that you can provide it. Being a perfectionist (like me) often leads to overthinking, and over thinking often slows up your growth process. It's important that we learn when to take imperfect action for the sake of taking action! Check out this episode where I talk about a time I decided to take imperfect action and had a breakthrough! FYI, I still struggle with this to this day so don't feel bad if this is you! Follow @ThirdDegreePodcast on Instagram for more motivation!

    Do you think NCAA Players should be paid? The NCAA is a billion dollar organization leveraging the image and likeness of schools and players alike. The schools and programs are compensated but the players are not. In an age where image and likeness can be grown and leveraged without being backed by a large organization, it is even more valuable to a player. The NCAA has finally allowed players to leverage their own image and likeness but still has not decided to compensate players for their contribution to the revenue of their school/program as well as NCAA. Tarca, Art, and Rob discuss what they think is fair but this is an age old argument that we'd love to hear your opinion on. Follow @ThirdDegreePodcast on Instagram and DM us your opinion!
