| 0:29.4 | the Intentional Advantage podcast. I'm your host, Tanya Dalton, and this is episode 196. It's also the very first episode of season 16. And boy, this one's |
| 0:43.2 | going to be a doozy. I was telling my team the other day, you know how we've been up on my |
| 0:48.8 | soapbox for the past few episodes? Let's just go ahead and leave that soapbox out for the whole next season. This is a |
| 0:55.9 | soapbox season we could say, because I want to have some real conversations. You know, the other |
| 1:01.8 | day, we were chatting with Jack because it's his senior year. So we've been retelling old |
