0:00.0	I think what Alex does an incredible job of is understanding that if he were to take these concepts
0:06.1	at a third grade level, he's making it accessible to the masses. And he's not making assumptions
0:12.8	about people understanding what KAC means. So I think for anybody watching or listening, it's
0:19.9	really important to be able to think through the lens not only of the advanced viewer, but the lay viewer.
0:28.6	My name is Caleb Ralston, and you are watching or listening to the future, the greatest podcast for creatives pursuing business in general.
0:41.9	My next guest is a person I don't know that much about, but when I met him in person,
0:45.8	it's just like this big, I would call you like a friendly giant, a big man, a bearded man.
0:50.7	It reminds me a lot of our chief operating officer, Ben Burns, and just the
0:54.3	similarities there. But the little bit that I know about you is you worked with some amazing accomplished

1:28.7	I'll try and make it concise,
1:33.2	but I think it's kind of cool to share. So a character who I think you are familiar with,
1:41.1	Sean Cannell, I had the wild opportunity to be working or volunteering in the same church that he was the director of media at. Now, I think a lot of people are aware of him on YouTube and stuff,
1:45.7	but that was Sean Pre, All of Think and Video Ranking Academy and everything that he's done now.
1:51.8	And at the time, I remember I was interning and helping with not only the church stuff,
1:57.3	but his own production company.
1:58.9	And he gave me a book.
