0:00.0	Welcome to the Knowledge Project Podcast. I'm your host, Shane Perch. The goal of this
0:22.0	show is to master the best what other people have already figured out. To do that, I sit
0:26.9	down with people at the top of their game to uncover the useful lessons you can learn
0:32.4	and apply in life and business. If you're listening to this, you're missing out. If you'd
0:37.7	like special member-only episodes, access before anyone else, transcripts, and other member-only
0:44.2	content, you can join at fs.blog slash membership. Check out the show notes for a link.
0:53.5	Your about to hear is a new feature here at fs, and a special episode of the Knowledge Project.
0:59.4	Over the years, I've had some of the leaving minds across a variety of fields share their
1:03.6	insights with me about topics like leadership, decision-making, health and wellness, and so
1:08.2	much more. Now we're taking some of those conversations and curating them into a single
1:13.4	episode all revolving around one theme. And we'll be doing this a few times a year so

1:24.6	This is the first in our series of themed episodes, and we'll start by focusing on relationships
1:30.2	and sex, something we haven't really talked about much in over a year. We dug back through
1:36.0	the archives to come up with essential segments from five past episodes focused on these topics,
1:42.0	and there really are so many wonderful lessons to learn from these conversations. Let's start
1:47.9	with the guest from episode 62, Dr. Sue Johnson. Dr. Johnson is a clinical psychologist,
1:54.2	couples therapist, and author best known for her work in the field of psychology on bonding,
1:59.2	attachment, and adult romantic relationships. We begin our conversation with where a relationship
2:06.0	itself begins and the simple question, how do we choose a mate? It's time to listen and
2:15.0	learn. The knowledge project is sponsored by Medalab. For a decade, Medalab has helped some of
2:26.3	the world's top companies and entrepreneurs build products that millions of people use every day.
