0:00.0	Yo, today's QOD is how would the person I'd like to be do the things I'm about to do?
0:06.7	Here we go!
0:32.1	Welcome back to the Quot of the Day Show. I'm your host, Sean Crox and Sean Crox and
0:38.5	.com. Happy Monday, my friend. Hope you had an incredible weekend. I got some some really
0:45.0	good stuff for you today. We got Jim Cathardt on the show and I strategically placed this episode
0:51.1	on a Monday because I really want you to try this on. I want you to use this question for the next
