| 0:00.0 | Hello everyone and welcome to Coaches Corner. I don't know about you, but my mind loves |
| 0:09.1 | To Wander. In fact, it's one of the biggest productivity obstacles that I have. I'll |
| 0:15.6 | be reading a book and I'll read like two pages and I'll be like, what the heck did I just |
| 0:21.6 | read? I'll be watching something and after rewind it because my mind just will wander off. |
| 0:28.8 | I am so glad to have Dr. Mishie Jaw join me today to talk about what attention really is. |
| 0:33.9 | How do we really focus our mind and stop a wandering mind? And how do we leverage our minds to not |

| 1:37.4 | So we're just kind of all over Arizona. And when you're traveling, it's hard to get the supplements |
| 1:44.7 | and food and nutrition that you're used to at home. That's why I always pack my organified products. |
| 1:50.8 | On every trip I take, I make sure I have my organified immunity, my organified green, |
| 1:55.9 | and my organified red juice. I can just put them in water and I drink the immunity on the plane, |
