| 0:00.0 | Come with me on an exploration of self-discovery. |
| 0:10.9 | On this podcast we decipher what really matters, as we unravel the chaos of day-to-day work |
| 0:19.0 | to learn how to build an essential life. |
| 0:25.4 | Welcome to the What's Essential Podcast, I am your guest Greg McEun, and I was just talking |
