The headlines are a jumping off point and this duo takes it from there, to give the audience a “Second Shot” and pull a life lesson from the news of the day. The goal is inspiration, motivation and up-leveling your life.
So kick back, relax, and join the conversation. This is Second Shot, with your hosts, Heath Oakes and Jenny Anchondo.

It Pays to be Original — Episode 119
On this episode of Second Shot, the team talks about how much their freedom costs to them and how much a year of their life is valued at.
"Think about it this way- the courts have now put a price on what freedom is worth. Sleeping in until noon. Applying for the job you want. Finding the love of your life. Going out and getting some vitamin D from the sun. The cost of your freedom? Really? $32K? ..$15.00 an hour? There is no money amount. There is no price we can put on our actual freedom. If you are sitting here today wondering, gosh there is nothing out there for me.. Think about it."
"All of the people that have their side hustle going, listen up. I had it down to a science in sales, every time I picked up the phone in sales I broke it down to averages. $71 per phone call. How much easier was it for me to pick up that phone- even though the money wouldn't come for several weeks.. break down how much that is worth."
