| 0:10.8 | another version of candid conversation. And as all you know, when I say candid conversation, |
| 0:16.8 | that means I'm sitting somewhere in the world live with John Maxwell. And today is no |
| 0:21.6 | different, John, welcome to the podcast, good to be in Los Angeles with you. We're in |
| 0:24.9 | Los Angeles and trying to help people. |
| 0:28.0 | Hey, you spent a lot of your life over on this side of the United States. And so it's |
