| 0:00.0 | Welcome, I'm your host, Greg McEwan, and I am here with you on this journey to become |
| 0:10.2 | a little wiser every day. Have you ever needed to change the results in a situation where |
| 0:16.7 | there were lots of things you could not change? It has long been thought that to completely |
| 0:21.4 | transform morale and performance, you have to have the power to change everything. But |
| 0:27.2 | this is wrong. What we know now is that there is a smaller, much more durable way to achieve |
| 0:34.2 | results. Today I will share an inspirational story, some counterintuitive research and |
| 0:40.3 | some actionable advice. By the end of this episode, you will be able to use language in |

| 1:58.3 | looking for a way to be able to eat a nutritious, flavorful meal, despite being stretched a bit too |
| 2:05.6 | thin. Factor is America's number one ready to eat meal delivery service. So they can help you |
| 2:13.1 | eat well for breakfast, lunch, and dinner with chef prepared, dietician approved, ready to eat meals, |
| 2:20.4 | delivered straight to your door. So the advantages you can save time while still staying on track with |
| 2:26.8 | the healthy lifestyle that you're aspiring to the rest of the year while still tackling the most |
| 2:32.8 | important things in this season's to-dos. So if you're looking for a more effortless way to be able |
| 2:38.9 | to cross meal prepping off your list, Factor can be a useful solution because you get to skip the |
| 2:46.0 | meal planning, the grocery shopping, the chopping prepping, cleaning up, and you get Factor's |
