| 0:00.0 | Welcome to the sports motivation podcast. |
| 0:03.4 | This is another episode of bars. |
| 0:06.0 | It's where I break down something powerful, |
| 0:08.7 | either that I've heard through an interview, through a song, or read in a book. |
| 0:13.8 | And in this case, it's a book. |
| 0:15.0 | This book is called How to Make Money by Felix Dennis, |
| 0:18.8 | the 88 Steps to Get Rich and Find Success. |
| 0:21.7 | So Felix Dennis, I love this book, by the way, I refer to it a lot, and he also has another |
| 0:27.9 | book called How to Get Rich. |

| 1:23.1 | really are. So he has a way of articulating reality in a way that is very, very cool. And I want to be |

| 1:37.7 | excerpt. All right. So it's just two pages. But as I read this, I want you to really soak it in. |
| 1:43.7 | So I'm going to read it slow. |
