0:00.0	You know, when I started this company, I had one goal.
0:08.0	Survive. Make payroll on Friday. I was running hard, trying to rebuild from a bankruptcy,
0:15.0	keep food on the table, and then be a good husband and dad. I'll tell you this, I didn't always get the balance right.

1:25.6	And I finally say to him, listen, your business
