0:00.0	Come on this journey with me. Each week when you join me, we are going to chase down our goals,
0:05.8	overcome adversity and set you up for a better tomorrow.
0:09.1	That's a no statement.
0:11.1	I'm ready for my close-up.
0:12.0	Hi and welcome back. I'm ready for my close up. Hi and welcome back.
0:13.7	I'm so grateful that you are back with me yet again this week.
