08 Jun 2023 - In this Sidebar episode, the two hosts engage in a discussion about passion versus frustration. Passion and frustration are two contrasting emotions that individuals often experience in different aspects of their lives.
Passion is characterized by intense desire and enthusiasm towards something, while frustration is the feeling of disappointment or annoyance resulting from the inability to accomplish a task or achieve a goal.
One of the passions shared by these two hosts is cigars. Austin is enjoying an Undercrown Shade by Drew Estate, which offers a flavorful and balanced experience. It features an Ecuadoran Connecticut wrapper, a Sumatran binder, and Dominican criollo 98' and Nicaraguan corojo and criollo long-fillers. This mellow to medium-bodied blend is rich, complex, and balanced, delivering flavors of toast, nuts, subtle spice, and cream with an enjoyable sweetness in the finish.
Dice, on the other hand, is smoking an Above & Beyond by Blanco. This cigar pays tribute to those who have made the ultimate sacrifice in Civil Service (Police, Fire, EMS) and the Armed Forces. It's also a rebranded blend that was used for the American Legion cigar. All the Above & Beyond sizes are box-pressed torpedoes, with the secondary band on the head of the cigar intentionally designed to resemble the folded U.S. flag presented to the families of fallen heroes.
Passion can be a powerful motivator that drives individuals to excel in their careers, hobbies, or relationships. Conversely, frustration is a negative emotion that can impede progress and hinder personal growth. Throughout this episode, the hosts share stories about passion and frustration within the context of their leadership journey, emphasizing the importance of understanding and managing both emotions.
