| 0:00.0 | Yo, today's Q-O-D is, we make a living by what we get. We make a life by what we give. |
| 0:07.0 | Here we go. Oh, Welcome back to the quote of the day show. I'm your host Sean Croxton |
| 0:36.7 | and Sean Croxton. We got Marie Forleo back on the show today. And today's |
| 0:42.0 | episode is a throwback episode. |
| 0:44.1 | Probably played this clip two or three times |
| 0:46.4 | over the last seven, eight years. |
| 0:48.2 | And what it's really about is running a business. Like this is how you run a business. You run a business by |

| 1:49.5 | give it all away because you just know so much so like I get really good at what you do. |

| 1:59.3 | with other people who need your solutions. |
| 2:02.4 | But you're not gonna build a business by just kind of half-assing the giving part. |
