Hey, this is Trey. Thank you for joining us for a Tuesday's with Trey. We're grateful

that you would join us. I want to start with something happy. I want to thank everyone

0:29.8

who read or listened to or will eventually read or listen to a new book or have planned

0:38.8

to do so. Part of the book is learning how to define success on your own terms and success

0:46.0

for me at least at this point in life is writing an honest book and what happens after that

0:51.9

listen to it? That is something a younger Trey would have probably would have just

success that way, the older Trey. I did the best I could and I got a phone call on a Saturday
