0:00.0	Hey everybody, welcome to the Andy Stanley Leadership Podcast, a conversation designed to help
0:07.5	leaders like you go further faster.
0:10.1	I'm Andy Stanley.
0:10.8	And today we're doing something a little different.
0:13.7	We ask you to send in the leadership questions that are keeping you up at night.
