0:00.0	Hello and welcome to another episode of the Mark Groves podcast.
0:03.6	Today I'm coming at you with a very special solo episode because it's an excerpt from a
0:08.8	talk I recently gave. But before I get into that, if you're watching this video, you know that I'm in a very makeshift setup.
0:16.6	I got some tope walls. I don't even have a mic stand. I'm holding my mic.
0:20.0	You know, so much of what delayed me from writing and speaking and creating videos was afraid it wasn't perfect.
0:29.0	That I wanted to strategize, I wanted to make sure all the equipment was the best and da da da da da.

1:47.0	ideas.
1:48.6	And then if they don't land or they don't sell or they don't do whatever we often feel like they're a failure and
1:54.8	it's actually really beautiful work to be able to decouple our self-worth from that and
2:01.2	that's true relationally too where we can make an honest assessment about how we showed
2:07.0	up and contributed to the outcomes of our lives, but how they are not actually correlated to our worth.
2:13.4	So in this talk I share aspects of how do we move through that,
