Media is one of the most powerful mediums of communication. It shapes perceptions of the world we live in and the world around us. But to truly experience some things in this world, you can't simply rely on media. Admittedly, media allows us to see much more of the world than we had before through video, photos, and social media, but there are some things and places that have to be experienced in person. Earlier this month, Jeremy took a trip to Ireland with his wife and he was very surprised at the difference in media and how it's used there. Imagine a world where you're not inundated with ads in bright colors asking you to "Buy this," "Try that," or bright lights using the age-old scarcity tactics of "Last chances" to capture attention and lure you in. In this episode, Jeremy shares a little of his journey to Ireland that really made him look at the way media is used in other parts of the world compared to the United States.

The difference between the hugely successful and not-so-successful is education.
