0:00.0	Hello and welcome to another episode of the Mark Groves podcast.
0:18.5	I hope that I'm finding you well wherever you are listening to this.
0:22.9	This week has been a really wonderful one. I've noticed some consistent things that have been
0:28.6	coming up for people and I wanted to share some of those things with you because, you know,
0:34.6	I kind of sometimes feel as though things are coming up for all of us

1:28.8	taking up more space. And I got to tell you that version of the way of thinking about it is a lot

1:41.1	is the perfect place to be right now. And, you know, I have a lot of people
1:46.2	expressed in my work saying, I wish I had heard you or met you five years ago or 30 years ago
