0:00.0	Hello, world, welcome to discover your talent, do what you love.
0:14.3	I'm your host, Don Hutchison.
0:16.1	Every Monday and Wednesday, I interview someone from around the world who's discovered their talents to do work
0:22.2	they love to create a life of success, satisfaction, and freedom. On Fridays, I interview an
