Hi, this is Brian. Welcome back to another Heroic one. In our last one we chatted about that 10 hour flight from Rome to New York that Marcus Aurelius couldn't have even imagined, let alone experience. Think about that for a moment. Every single day we get to experience countless miracles that even an emperor couldn't have dreamt of a couple thousand or even a couple hundred years ago. That plane ride, that car drive, that supercomputer in your pocket while sitting in traffic or experiencing a split second lag on the Internet. Today, let's take a deep breath and appreciate the near infinite number of modern miracles we can so easily take for granted. Now that could be today's plus one, but we'll spend a little more time together. So after typing that last plus one while sitting in a chair approximately 30,000ft in the air, I made a post to heroic note. Another miracle. I said, I'm typing this in a chair approximately 30,000ft in the air. Just thinking about that makes my head explode. Insert head exploding emoji. And then I said, as we made our way from Athens to Rome, my soul smiled and I waved me and my Daimon. See you in 2025. I have a picture in the post, in the heroic post I made of the little travel airplane thing going from Athens right toward Rome. I circled Rome and smile note. Mark your calendar. First week or so in November 2025, we're planning to repeat the Athens experience in Rome. Join us and we'll make that our conclusion to today's plus one. You want to join us in Rome in 2025? I'd love to see you there as well. It's hard to put into words how powerful it was to spend time with a couple hundred heroes in the sacred land of Athens. I have no doubt Rome is going to be just as heroically special. Whether making the trip to Rome is a possibility for you or not, let's appreciate all the modern miracles we can so easily take for granted all day, every day, especially today.
