| 0:00.0 | Hey, everybody. I want you all to take advantage of the incredible interest rates that a |
| 0:05.7 | Lyon Credit Union is currently offering 4.5% for a three-month certificate, 4.75% for a six-month |
| 0:15.2 | certificate. But best of all, in my opinion, is 5% for a one-year certificate of deposit. |
| 0:24.4 | You can also purchase these in a retirement account. So go to myeliantaliant.com, |

| 0:42.3 | As we get ready for season two of our podcast, we wanted to share some of the best episodes from |
| 0:46.9 | season one. We hope you enjoy listening. It was 1980, April to be exact, and I had just been hired |
| 0:59.4 | to be a financial advisor at Maryland. After being a waitress for seven years at the Buttercup |
| 1:07.2 | Bakery in Berkeley, California, making only $400 a month. I was 29 years of age. I never worked |
| 1:16.3 | a professional job. I had been a waitress my entire life, and I was scared to death to say the |

| 2:20.9 | drive to Taco Bell, and have two tacos and a drink every single day. Okay. And I really very quickly |
| 2:31.3 | realized, how am I going to get through this? Oh my God. And I decided I know I need to conquer my |
| 2:39.9 | fear. My fear is going to keep me from being more and having more. My mind kept saying to me, |
| 2:47.8 | I can't do this. I don't belong. I'll never succeed. And I needed to stop that. So I decided to |
