0:00.0	If you believe that the only mark of success is revenue growth, like getting on that momentum train and believing all the hype around scale scale scale scale, for some of us that's just not like what the business really is for us or what we set out to
0:14.4	create but we've gotten into this mindset of I'm only successful if I continue to
0:18.1	grow every year. Growth at all costs creates burnout. Lindsay, welcome back to the podcast. Thank you, excited.
0:33.0	This is so funny, we are huddled up in Steve, I mean huddled.
0:37.0	We're in Stephen's office because the sound is a little bit better.
0:39.0	We're like, we're trying to be our own tech guys.

1:24.0	It's also Black Friday Cyber Monday weekend for us, so we're just having fun and chilling.
1:28.8	Yeah, well, in last night, so the reason we wanted to record is because we were talking last night just

1:36.8	happened in business that you wouldn't necessarily believe unless you or
1:41.6	know about unless you were like in the inner circle and we're like we should just tell people these stories because if it's happened to us it's probably happened to other people and I think there's a lesson in each one of these that we can talk about that's like, hey, don't do this or watch
