0:04.8 | on a regular and consistent basis. |
0:07.0 | The challenge for a lot of men in doing this is that they think because of where they are right |
0:11.5 | now, it will continue. |
0:13.7 | That you don't really need to do anything. |
0:16.1 | Guys, sovereignty in all ways. |
0:18.8 | And this is how we hedge our bets. |
