| 0:10.0 | But don't fall asleep just yet because you are now listening to tiny leaps big change This episode's song is a place to hide by Taib Ali. I instantly fell in love with this song due to its phenomenal production work and |
| 0:35.8 | smooth lyrics check out a link to the artist in this episode's resources and |
| 0:40.7 | enjoy the sweet tunes. |
