| 0:37.8 | He's a singer-songwriter, but he's also an entrepreneur. He coaches. He's a dad. And he |

| 1:53.3 | always get a record deal. And I thought, well, if you get a record deal, then I guess you have a |
| 1:57.6 | business or you're part of their business. I still didn't really know how it worked. I didn't |
