| 0:00.0 | Okay, I'm pulling out of the parking lot. We all know what that means. It's time for other drive to work. |
| 0:06.5 | I'm going to drop off my daughter at work. Okay, so today I'm a little farther away from home than normal because my daughter works the opposite direction from work. |
| 0:15.4 | So we have a little bit longer podcast today. So I picked a topic that I thought I could talk about for a little bit longer. |
| 0:20.6 | And that is the color pie. I love talking about the color pie, obviously, for those that, |
| 0:25.6 | for new listeners that have not listened to my show before. Okay, so I'm going to, I actually |
| 0:31.7 | have talked about the color pie in general before. I did three podcasts on what I call the golden |

| 0:38.6 | three genius ideas that got created when magic was made. So this one specifically is on |
| 0:44.6 | doing new things in the color pie. So today I'm going to talk about how do how do we do something new in the color pie? |

| 1:08.7 | So way number one is what we'll call a bend, which is, |
| 1:13.5 | well, let me give you the short version, they'll give a long version. So short version is we're |
| 1:18.0 | playing in space and we want to do something because we're in a certain theme and so we push |
| 1:23.3 | things into colors that don't normally do them. That's a bend. A break is when we push something into colors that undermines its weakness. |
| 1:30.7 | So breaks we don't like to do. |
| 1:32.0 | Bends we're willing to do. |
| 1:32.9 | Although even bends, we want to make sure we don't do too many bends. |
| 1:35.9 | Number two is we come up with a brand new ability we've never done before. |
