TIME-STAMPED SHOW NOTES:
[00:27] Today’s Topic: Why We Don't Watch The News
[00:33] The news media is just another business.
[00:45] It’s a viewership-driven business and they thrive on ad revenue.
[01:00] Instead, Eric follows different people on Twitter and gets his news from that.
[01:20] TV news is just noise!
[02:21] You can get your news by browsing news sites instead.
[02:34] If something really important or big happens, you will most likely find out about it on Twitter or social media, anyway.
[03:15] By not spending time posting on social media, you gain a lot of hours back.
[03:44] To beat your competition, focus on your business and what matters as opposed to being obsessed with frivolous social media posts.
[04:40]  The Economist Espresso is one or two paragraphs and summarizes the most important stories.
[05:00] “If you want to do well, stop wasting your time” -Neil
[05:07] That’s all for today!
