🎓 **The Scott Adams School - Monday Show Notes**

Good morning, and welcome to **The Scott Adams School**!

We love having the comments open and we genuinely read them, so please help us keep the conversation productive:

✅ Be kind and respectful

✅ Debate ideas, not people

✅ No personal attacks

Most of all, thank you for being here. We appreciate every single one of you and are grateful you've chosen to spend part of your morning with us.

Question of the Day

The Scott Adams School# Scott Adams School - Show Notes

Good morning and welcome to the Scott Adams School!

Today we're joined by Joel Pollak for the first half of the show to discuss President Trump's approach to Iran and the latest developments surrounding a possible deal. We'll break down the news, the strategy, and what it could mean moving forward.

We'll also cover current events and the day's top stories.

If time allows, we'll dive into a new whiteboard lesson from Scott. If we don't get to it today, we'll move it to tomorrow's show.
