In this brief motivational segment, Richard Milligan highlights the overwhelming amount of social media noise, noting that the average American spends over 2.5 hours per day on these platforms. He argues that this constant influx of information can clutter the mind, leaving people "starving for wisdom." To counteract this, Milligan advises listeners to deliberately select five trusted sources—such as podcasts, YouTube channels, or social media accounts—and consistently engage with them. By intentionally curating and consuming content from these five voices, individuals can replace noisy, superficial input with focused, valuable insight.

There's so much noise today. The average American is over 2.5 hours a day on social media. Think about the amount of noise that you let into your brain in 2.5 hours. And so I say, identify 5 voices that you're going to listen to. Now go seek those people out. Go listen to that podcast. Go watch their YouTube channel. Go subscribe to them on social media. And then be intentional about going and pursuing that information. In a world where we're drowning in noise, but yet starving for wisdom, we need to know what those 5 voices are that we're going to listen to.
