| 0:00.0 | If you don't know what you're really like, there's nothing you can do to change. You can't move forward. |
| 0:12.8 | Welcome to the One You Feed. Throughout time, great thinkers have recognized the importance of the |
| 0:18.2 | thoughts we have, quotes like garbage in, garbage out, or you are what you think, ring true. |
| 0:25.1 | And yet, for many of us, our thoughts don't strengthen or empower us. We tend toward negativity, |
| 0:31.1 | self-pity, jealousy, or fear. We see what we don't have instead of what we do. We think things that |
| 0:37.8 | hold us back and dampen our spirit. But it's not just about thinking, our actions matter. It takes |
| 0:44.3 | conscious, consistent, and creative effort to make a life worth living. This podcast is about how |
| 0:50.1 | other people keep themselves moving in the right direction. How they feed their good wolf. |
| 1:09.6 | Thanks for joining us. Our guest on this episode is Ann Bogel, the creator of the popular blog |
| 1:14.8 | Modern Mrs. Darcy and the podcast What Should I Read Next. She's the author of many books, |
| 1:20.9 | including her newest book, Reading People, How Seeing the World Through the Lens of Personality |
| 1:26.2 | Changes Everything. Hi friends. After four and a half years of working both the day job |
| 1:32.5 | and doing this show, I have found myself struggling to find enough hours in the day to sustain and |
| 1:38.5 | grow the one you feed. It takes a lot of time and effort to do the show and something has to give |
| 1:45.2 | if the one you feed is to continue. The bottom line is I realized I either needed to try and make |
| 1:49.8 | the show successful enough to support me or stop doing the show. So I've chosen to focus my time |
| 1:56.4 | fully on doing the thing I love the most, the one you feed. So I have quit my day job. Yay! |
| 2:04.9 | I think that's the good news. The bad news is that the show does not make enough money to support me |
| 2:11.1 | and all the various things that I need to support, like keeping my sign in college. So I am taking |
| 2:16.0 | a leap of faith here and here's where I need your help. If you value the show, if you want the show |
| 2:22.4 | to be around, now is the time to go to oneyoufeed.net slash support and make a monthly donation. |
| 2:29.0 | I can't do this without you. So please go to oneyoufeed.net slash support now and make a contribution. |
