| 0:00.0 | Welcome to Feedback Friday. I'm your host Jordan Harbinger. I'm here with producer Jason |
| 0:04.1 | to Phillipo. Here on the Jordan Harbinger show, we love having conversations with our fascinating |
| 0:08.4 | guests. In this week, we had Leon Logothetus, who's making his way around the world without |
| 0:12.5 | any money and relying only on the kindness of strangers. And Moby was on the show talking about |
| 0:18.3 | his meteoric rise to the top of the music industry just when he thought his career had basically come |
| 0:22.8 | to an end. That was one of my favorite interviews recently. And not because I'm a huge Moby |
| 0:28.8 | music fan, really. I mean, I am such was, but really his honesty was was crazy. He really didn't |
| 0:36.0 | try to make himself look good in the book and was very candid on the interview. Jason, he was just |
| 0:41.4 | kind of like, yeah, try taking like a lonely, only child of the anxiety disorder, give them a |

| 1:26.8 | these certain accoutrements or trappings, we would be we would be better off. And for most of us, |
| 1:33.1 | it's money, like, oh, if I had as much money as so and so, like, you know, and he got this lucky break, |
| 1:38.6 | you know, I would live in this awesome spot. And I wouldn't even worry about any of this stuff, |
| 1:42.3 | but I get, you know, it's easy to just think that that's going to be you. When then you're just |
