0:00.0	Welcome to the CLS experience. I'm your host, Craig Siegel. I'm a born and raised New Yorker
0:11.8	who achieved success with multiple businesses, but I crave something deeper. So I dedicated
0:16.8	myself to personal growth and transformation by revamping my mindset.
0:22.3	I went from being unable to run a mile to conquering four marathons the following year.
0:27.2	Now, I want to help others manufacture big breakthroughs of their own.
0:31.8	People come to me and one of the things always tell me is I'm afraid to fail.
0:34.6	I'm afraid to this.
0:35.5	It's always I'm afraid, I'm afraid, I'm afraid.
0:36.5	And when you get to what are you afraid of? I'm afraid to fail. I'm afraid to this. It's always I'm afraid, I'm afraid. And when you get told, what are you afraid of? I'm afraid of failure. And it's kind of, what does that even

1:07.0	It means I am doing in life.
1:09.0	Life is not doing to me. I am doing too life. I have no problem with failure. I like it because it makes me resilient. It allowed me to bounce back. It doesn't allow things to be so crushing because when you spend your life avoiding it and avoid making
1:30.7	choices so that you don't fail because you think it's stressful and it's bad. The amount of chronic
1:36.5	stress and pain and anguish that you accumulate, there is no equivalent. Failure is quick, it's brief, it's a moment,
1:47.6	and it passes. So I think for me, I have failed, I have failed well, and I have failed in so
