0:04.8	with the Christopher Robin Film Tommy, by Denise Smith of thiswondrouslife.com,
0:09.9	and I'm Justin Mollick. Happy Monday and welcome to one of the only podcasts in the world
0:14.4	where blogs are narrated to you for free, that's with permission from the authors,
0:18.8	and I'll keep this intro short, so for now let's get right to it and start optimizing your life.
0:23.4	The Importance of Play, with the Christopher Robin Film Tommy, by Denise Smith of thiswondrouslife.com.
0:36.0	I didn't grow up on Winnie the Pooh, sure he's cute as pie and who doesn't love piglet or

1:57.4	If you aren't a Winnie the Pooh fan, then you will love Christopher Robin. Also stop listening
