0:00.0	There is a positive amount of narcissism, you know, healthy, good feeling about yourself,
0:04.6	that just makes you more effective. And then there's too much that just makes you a jerk who
0:08.9	can't see the world clearly.
0:18.8	Today we're talking with Scott Adams. He's the creator of the comic strip Dilbert
0:22.6	and author of How to Fail It Almost Everything and Still Wind Big. Today we're going a little bit
0:26.9	off-track here. We're talking about persuasion skills that you can use right out of the box, but also
0:31.9	we're going to apply them to none other than Mr. Donald Trump as a master persuader, his words,

1:40.7	Thanks Scott for joining us here today. Thanks for having me. Yeah, you got it. You're the creator
1:45.0	of Dilbert among other things. I decided, okay, I'm going to check out this blog because I'll be
