| 0:00.0 | Version one might be, hey, I'm so sorry, I just have so much going on right now. |
| 0:05.0 | My schedule is a complete disaster and I've already committed to three other things this week and I really wish I could help and then fill in the blank with more excuses. |
| 0:13.0 | Version two is, hey, I won't be able to make that work, but thanks for thinking about me though. |
| 0:19.0 | Same outcome, but completely different energy. And that's what but thanks for thinking about me, though. Same outcome, |
| 0:21.1 | but completely different energy. And that's what this is about. It's about energy. The second version, |
| 0:26.7 | it's kind. It's not mean-spirited. It's warm. But it doesn't sacrifice your self-respect in the process. |
| 0:34.9 | Then welcome back to the Order Man podcast. If you're new new here i am glad that you're joining us and |
| 0:41.0 | that you found us and if you've been here a while uh you already know that we don't do fluff |
| 0:45.9 | we don't pull punches we don't beat around the bush and today's episode is one that i've been |

| 1:26.0 | don't quite take you as seriously as you'd |
| 1:29.8 | like them to take you. So whatever your situation, today we're going to be talking about respect. |
| 1:34.9 | Not the kind that you demand from others and not the kind that you have to beg for and plead for, |
| 1:40.9 | but the kind that you build, maybe even silently, it's that X factor when you walk into |
| 1:46.0 | the room and people know there's something different about you. So today we've got five very |
| 1:50.5 | practical, actionable things that you can start doing right now today that will genuinely |
| 1:56.2 | shift how people treat you, how they perceive you, and the opportunities that are presented to you. |
