| 0:00.0 | There is no truth, and so we all have to get much much better at constantly testing and |
| 0:05.4 | busting and breaking down those narratives and then thinking functionally about those narratives. |
| 0:30.0 | Hey Chris, my name is Matt. I'm currently standing at the edge of my wife's family's |
| 0:46.4 | rice fields in Pravee, Cambodia. About two hours southeast of the capital Penalmen pan. |
| 0:54.2 | I really enjoy your podcast, listen to every episode. I just became a father for the first time |
| 1:02.1 | two weeks ago. I'm 43 years old, never planning having kids, but I never plan on moving to Cambodia |

| 2:20.8 | world. So stay the course and I will too. Thanks. Well, that's a beautiful people. Welcome to another |
| 2:29.5 | edition of tangentially speaking. My name is Chris. I'm your host. I'm sitting in a parking lot in |
| 2:34.9 | Whistler, BC, outside the Starbucks, where I am going to go pirate their Wi-Fi to upload this |
