| 0:00.0 | Well, hello. Welcome to today's episode. I'm so excited to share this exciting conversation that I had with Alex |
| 0:07.8 | Benayan, who is the author of the third door, the Wild Quest to Uncover, how the world's most |
| 0:13.5 | successful people launch their careers. His story was so fascinating. It's actually a much longer |
| 0:20.7 | interview than I normally do because I was sitting there like, no, no way. Anyway, you might have |
| 0:27.2 | heard him. Maybe you already read this book. I hope so. I'm listening to it on tape right now and |
| 0:32.0 | absolutely I'm loving it. Just really the thinking outside the box at such a young age, |
| 0:39.9 | which is basically what his story is. The third door is that most of us think that there's two |
| 0:44.8 | ways to get into something, right? So think about it like a club where there's the front door, |

| 1:49.6 | of the Rail of Revolution and Boundary Boo Camp. On this show, I'll bring you simple strategies |
| 1:54.9 | based on practical psychology, inspiring expert interviews, and my own insights and observations |
| 2:01.0 | from my time on the front lines in the fascinating world of entertainment, empowerment, and mental |
| 2:06.4 | health. Now let's get going with today's episode. Alex, welcome to the Terry Cole show. |
| 2:18.2 | Thank you very much for having me and I'm very excited to be here with you today. |
