| 0:00.0 | Hello, you chasers of excellence, Patrick here. |
| 0:04.2 | We are back with our benchmark series, which is when I go through the archives of the |
| 0:09.4 | show and I go back to the way back and find some of the big keystone episodes that we |
| 0:15.9 | put out in the early days of the podcast just to make sure that you've had a chance to |
| 0:21.4 | listen to them. |
| 0:22.4 | With this one, we are going back to May 2018 to an episode that we called 10 Habits You |

| 1:27.0 | you say or seen you say various places of things not to do. |
| 1:31.5 | So instead of like a top 10, do these things and your life will be better, you talk often |
| 1:37.4 | about things that you shouldn't do, right? |
| 1:40.5 | So I've collected, we've got 10 of them, so I'm going to walk you through each one and |
| 1:44.0 | then we'll kind of talk about why one thing and sort of where that came from. |
