| 0:00.0 | My guest right now from Krakow, Poland, my friend, who was recently at Davos at the W.E.F. Larry Taunton. |
| 0:20.0 | Just great to see you and excited to talk to you by your experiences. |
| 0:25.8 | Well, it's good to see you, Eric. |
| 0:27.6 | And just so you will sound like an insider, I'm going to give you a little tip. |
| 0:32.2 | They never say WEF. |
| 0:34.7 | They say WEF. |
| 0:36.0 | But here's the trick. I don't want to sound like a wef insider. I want to |
| 0:40.4 | sound like an anti-globalist, you know, patriarchal, biblically minded. You say wef and the people |
| 0:48.6 | attend are wefers. Yeah. They're this, I mean, no kidding. This is the way they refer to themselves. |
| 1:12.8 | Weffers. Yeah. Anyway, yes, I was in Davos. I was there for the full thing. And I threatened, I have to tell my audience, I don't even know if I've mentioned it. I threatened to be there.

| 1:43.6 | Yeah, well, you were there on behalf of all of us, my friend. And I want to, you know, want to hear about it. So you're in Krakow, Poland right now. Yeah. Which is extraordinary. Now, why, before we get into Davos and Weft, why are you in Krakow? Well, there's a couple little projects that I was working on traveling |
| 2:01.0 | with me, and he may come crashing through the door at some moments as Lawrence Fox, but he's |
| 2:06.9 | in his room giving an interview right now to somebody else. And if he wraps up early, I told him |
| 2:12.7 | he should come and crash this interview over here. But I have, as you know, a couple of times a year, |
