0:00.0	Hey, this is John Gordon with Positive You. And today, my guest is Craig Siegel. Craig,
0:14.6	how you doing?
0:15.6	Honestly, unbelievable. The only negative I got going on is be around 10 hours to chat.
0:19.6	I know we could have went from the hour before we record. I'm excited to be here. Let's
0:22.8	rock.
0:23.8	I love it. I love that you are ready. Yeah, we talked about 20 minutes beforehand. Amazing

1:37.0	and really combined my passions with my gifts, my passion being personal development and
1:42.9	my gifts being to communicate effectively. And I started my CLS brand and I went all
