Zendaya – “If you don’t try things and take risks, you don’t really grow and figure out what you want.”
byAndrew McGivern - Motivational Quotes and Daily Inspiration | Quote of the Day

Welcome to the Daily Quote, the podcast designed to kickstart your day in a positive way. I'm your host, Andrew McGivern, and this episode is brought to you by the Great News podcast. Because great news should be heard, and the link is right here in the show notes.Today's quote comes from Zendaya.

Zendaya is an award-winning American actress, singer, and producer who rose to fame on Disney Channel before becoming an international star. She is known for her roles in the HBO series Euphoria, the recent Spider-Man films, and the movie Dune. Celebrated for her talent, authenticity, and willingness to take on challenging roles, Zendaya has become one of the most influential entertainers of her generation and an inspiration to young people around the world.

There is a quote attributed to Zendaya that I couldn't verify is actually something she said but it is floating around the internet in memes. The quote is…”I try to make choices that scare me a little.”

But a similar quote that she actually did say is similar.

”If you don't try things and take risks, you don't really grow and figure out what you want.”

Both quotes share a theme of taking risks and making choices to get outside your comfort zone.And it sounds strange at first. Why would anyone intentionally choose something that scares them?But Zendaya isn't talking about reckless risks. She's talking about growth.The truth is that many of the best opportunities in life live just outside our comfort zone. Starting a new job, speaking in front of a crowd, launching a business, having a difficult conversation, or trying something completely new can all feel a little scary.That feeling isn't always a warning sign. Sometimes it's a sign that you're stretching, learning, and becoming more than you were yesterday.If we only choose what's comfortable, we often stay exactly where we are. But when we choose challenges that scare us just a little, we discover what we're capable of.So here's the question: What's one choice you could make today that scares you a little, but could help you grow a lot?Growth doesn't happen in our comfort zone. It happens when we're willing to take that next small step into the unknown.That's going to do it for today. I'm Andrew McGivern signing off for now, but I'll be back… tomorrow! Same pod time, same pod station with another Daily Quote.

Smart Living Drugs and Turning Tumors into Vaccines
byAndrew McGivern | Good News Podcast Host - Positive News and Inspiration

Here are the latest great news stories from greatnewspodcast.com, brought to you by the Daily Quote, a podcast designed to kickstart your day in a positive way.

I'm Andrew McGivern, and this is the Great News Podcast.

First up, our lead story:

A new weapon in the fight against superbugs.

Researchers at the University of Oxford have developed a ”smart living drug” that can hunt down and destroy deadly, antibiotic-resistant bacteria in a single day. Instead of traditional antibiotics, which are becoming less effective, they used ”SimCells” (short for simple cells).

Vaccines and Dementia Risk

Moving on to a major development in brain health: common vaccines might be doing more than just preventing infections.

A large-scale meta-analysis of 45 studies suggests that shingles vaccines and antiviral drugs are associated with a significantly lower risk of dementia.

The Future of Hydrogen Flight

Next, let's look at a breakthrough for the planet.

Researchers at UNSW have redesigned hydrogen fuel cells to solve a critical flaw that has long blocked their commercial use.

Turning Tumors into Vaccines

Finally, a team of medical biologists in the Czech Republic is testing a revolutionary ”personalized” cancer therapy that turns a patient's own tumor into a vaccine.

Speed Round:

  • AI Power Boost: Engineers at UC San Diego developed a new hybrid piezoelectric chipfor AI data centers that is 96.2% efficient and delivers four times more current, potentially slashing energy losses in the age of AI.
  • Italian firms are deploying humanoid robot welders to shipyards. Equipped with ”Physical AI,” these robots will work alongside humans to handle repetitive, dangerous tasks, improving safety and production quality.
  • Scientists at Harvard’s Wyss Institute have created ”Neurobots”—tiny living robots made from frog cells that have their own integrated nervous systems.
  • An online supermarket in Belgium is testing the Clevon 1, a fully driverless delivery robot. It navigates narrow city streets to bring groceries directly to customers' doors via a 5G connection.
  • A new study suggests that microplastics in the environment may be overestimated because standard lab gloves (nitrile and latex) can shed particles that look identical to plastic under a microscope.
  • Scientists discovered that depleting the gut microbiome in aged mice actually reversed aspects of brain aging, improving memory and vascular density, suggesting that targeting ”microbial inflammation” could be a non-invasive way to promote cognitive resilience.

That’s it for today’s episode of Great News. Until next time, I'm Andrew McGivern. Keep looking for the good in the world, because it's not only there, it’s everywhere.

    Speed Round:

    • AI Power Boost: Engineers at UC San Diego developed a new hybrid piezoelectric chipfor AI data centers that is 96.2% efficient and delivers four times more current, potentially slashing energy losses in the age of AI.
    • Italian firms are deploying humanoid robot welders to shipyards. Equipped with ”Physical AI,” these robots will work alongside humans to handle repetitive, dangerous tasks, improving safety and production quality.
    • Scientists at Harvard’s Wyss Institute have created ”Neurobots”—tiny living robots made from frog cells that have their own integrated nervous systems.
    • An online supermarket in Belgium is testing the Clevon 1, a fully driverless delivery robot. It navigates narrow city streets to bring groceries directly to customers' doors via a 5G connection.
    • A new study suggests that microplastics in the environment may be overestimated because standard lab gloves (nitrile and latex) can shed particles that look identical to plastic under a microscope.
    • Scientists discovered that depleting the gut microbiome in aged mice actually reversed aspects of brain aging, improving memory and vascular density, suggesting that targeting ”microbial inflammation” could be a non-invasive way to promote cognitive resilience.
