Something You Should Know sponsors and ad reads

Now I've got over 20 things in my closet from Quince, and my wife started ordering clothes, and my son. Now every time one of us is wearing something we really like, the other one will ask, is that from Quince? And most of the time, it's from Quince. What surprised me most is these aren't clothes you save for special occasions. They're the ones you reach for all the time. The fit is great, the quality is outstanding, and well, they just hold up. And then you find out why the prices are so reasonable. You see, Quince works directly with ethical factories and cuts out the middlemen, so you're paying for premium materials instead of expensive brand markups. That's why they can offer everything from organic cotton tees to premium denim and Mongolian cashmere at prices that really surprise me. Upgrade your everyday.

shopify.com/realm. Something you should know. Fascinating intel. The world's top experts and practical advice you can use in your life. Today, Something You Should Know with Mike Carruthers. So, I'm sure that you're a fabulous driver, but there are a few things you could do that would make you an even more fabulous driver. So, we're going to start with those today on this episode of Something You Should Know. Hi, I'm Mike Carruthers. Thank you for joining me today. So, here are a few things that will make you a better driver and a little safer on the road. The first is to not grip the steering wheel at 10 and 2. That was the old advice. Today, safety experts recommend putting your hands at 9 and 3. It gives you better control during emergency maneuvers and reduces the risk of arm injuries if the airbag deploys. Look farther ahead than you think you need to. Good drivers don't stare at the bumper of the car in front of them. They continuously scan 15 to 20 seconds down the road. Seeing potential problems early gives your brain extra time to react, making sudden braking and swerving much less likely. Keep more distance than you feel is necessary. The old one-car-length rule really isn't enough. Safety experts recommend at least a four-second following distance in normal conditions, and even more in rain or darkness. It dramatically increases the odds that you'll avoid a rear-end collision. And if oncoming headlights are blinding you at night, don't stare into them. Instead, shift your gaze towards the right edge of your lane, using your peripheral vision to stay on course. The Auto Club says this simple habit can reduce the temporary blindness caused by today's brighter LED headlights. And that is something you should know.

One thing I love about summer is how simple getting dressed becomes. And I've noticed something kind of funny. When I'm getting ready in the morning, I keep looking for the same shirt. Not because I plan to wear it. It's just the one I want. For me, that's my quince linen shirt. It's light. It's breathable. It looks good without trying too hard. And somehow it works, whether I'm meeting someone for lunch or just running errands. That's when you know you've bought something good, when you stop thinking about it and you just reach for it. I have several quince pieces now, and they're all like that. Their t-shirts are incredibly soft, the linen is perfect for the summer heat, and when the evening cools off, their lightweight cotton sweaters are exactly right. And they look great. What also impressed me is that Quince sells everything for 50 to 80 percent less than similar brands because they work directly with ethical factories and skip the middleman. So you're paying for the quality, not the middleman, not somebody else's marketing budget. And it isn't just clothing anymore. We've picked up things for the house and for travel too, and the quality is consistently excellent. Make your summer wardrobe easier.

One thing I've noticed after interviewing literally hundreds of entrepreneurs over the years is that almost nobody starts a business with a perfect plan. No, they start with an idea. That's how I started. But you gotta take the first step. If you've got something you've always wanted to sell, Shopify makes that first step a whole lot easier. You don't have to worry about how your online store will look or how you're going to get paid or what your checkout process is. Shopify has all that handled. That means less time wrestling with the technology and more time doing what actually grows a business. Shopify already powers millions of businesses worldwide, from big brands like Mattel and Gymshark to new businesses just starting up. So maybe they should be powering your business as well. With Shopify, nothing stands between your idea and a real business. So go make it one. Start your free trial at Shopify.com slash S-Y-S-K. That's Shopify.com slash S-Y-S-K.

So Wayfair just became a sponsor here, so my wife and I, we've been spending way too much time on their website trying to decide what to get. Honestly, I had no idea they carried this much stuff. Furniture, outdoor living, lighting, everything for the kitchen, storage, rugs, I mean, it just keeps going. At first, we were sure we were going to get a couple of Adirondack chairs for the backyard, but then we started looking at patio furniture, because ours has seen better days. And somehow we ended up looking at lamps and storage cabinets. One thing that really surprised me was the prices. I kept finding things that looked like they'd cost a lot more. And I like that Wayfair has Wayfair Verified, where their product specialists actually test and vet products before recommending them. Plus, with over 20 million five-star reviews, you can see what real customers think before you buy. I'll update you later on what we actually get, but if you've been putting off upgrading a room or your patio or really anything around the house, I highly recommend you just start browsing Wayfair.
