0:00.0	Hey everyone, it's Eric from the one you feed. Happy holidays to you. Whether you enjoy them or you hate them,
0:05.7	I hope you're making the best of them. As a holiday gift and as preparation for the new year, we are
0:12.3	re-releasing seven of the older episodes. If you're new to the show, all these episodes are over a year
0:19.9	old, so you may not have heard these yet if you've only been listening for a year. I pick the
0:25.9	episodes because either A, I think it's a really great episode, or B, I think it talks about
0:31.3	behavior change, which we're heading into the new year and that's on a lot of people's mind.
0:36.7	Speaking of which, we are going to try something this new year. We're going to try the first one
0:42.4	you feed group transformation program. It'll be $100 for a month. We're going to limit it to 10 people.
0:50.4	We will meet online four times that month. We'll discuss tips and tricks and different ways

1:47.6	Welcome to the one you feed. Throughout time, great thinkers have recognized the importance of
1:57.1	the thoughts we have, quotes like garbage in garbage out or you are what you think ring true.
2:04.1	And yet for many of us, our thoughts don't strengthen or empower us. We tend to read negativity,
2:10.1	self pity, jealousy or fear. We see what we don't have instead of what we do. We think things that
2:16.8	hold us back and dampen our spirit. But it's not just about thinking. Our actions matter. It takes
