| 0:36.0 | It isn't even what I was aiming for, I wasn't even aiming for 1 million. |
| 0:40.0 | When I started the podcast I just wanted to reach people, share information, share the insights and wisdom and knowledge and expertise from these therapists and researchers to anyone that wanted to listen and at the time I didn't expect anywhere near this amount, absolutely anywhere near this amount. |
