0:05.9	By AudiRedzick of AudiRedzick.com, and I'm Justin Moch. Happy middle of the week Wednesday
0:11.3	and welcome back to Optimal Living Daily or the OLD podcast, where I read to you from some of the
0:16.1	best blogs I can find and get permission from, mostly covering personal development and minimalism
