| 0:00.0 | Well, hello friends. It is a very welcome return to podcasting for me. After a small hiatus |
| 0:07.5 | to recover from my Achilles surgery, I am fully operational and the next month of podcasts |
| 0:15.8 | is probably the modest that we've ever had in nearly three years of running the show. |
| 0:22.2 | Today we are starting with the author of one of the best selling business books of the |
| 0:27.0 | last ten years. Josh Kaufman's the personal MBA has a ten year anniversary edition where |
| 0:34.2 | he's read on everything and today we get to go through all of his best principles for how |
| 0:39.2 | to operate a business. I did five years and got two business degrees and spent 30 to 40 |
| 0:49.2 | grand and Josh told me that I just didn't need to do it at all. So perhaps this will save |
| 0:56.4 | you half a decade of your life and 40 grand. If it does feel free to pay me some of the money, |
| 1:01.8 | but there's so much cool stuff today. Josh's insight into business is really reflected in my |
| 1:09.1 | personal experience, which is usually a great suggestion, great idea that he knows what he's |

| 1:20.9 | to everyone that reached out to me while I was laid up and kind of feeling sorry for myself |
| 1:26.1 | over the last few weeks. Very much miss this outlet. It's the reason that I think my recovery has |
| 1:33.9 | been so quick since my operation, which was only two weeks ago from when I'm recording this. |
| 1:39.8 | A big part of that is that I want to get back to doing podcasts. I've created quite a heavy |
| 1:45.3 | schedule for September to distract me from kind of everything being a little bit slower and more |
| 1:50.7 | difficult and stuff like that. As a listener or a big part of that, you are a huge part of the |
| 1:58.8 | motivating reasons that I have to get out of bed in the morning and to ensure that I'm still reading |
| 2:05.2 | and developing and trying to create the best show that I can. I genuinely believe that by the end |
| 2:11.3 | of this year, we're going to see just how good modern wisdom can be. I'm really glad that you're |
| 2:16.1 | along for the ride. Thank you. In other news, this episode of the podcast is brought to you by |
