0:00.0	One of the first things that this book says, as a quote, is it says, that which is measured, improves.
0:05.9	So if you said to me, Ryan, I want to eat 2,500 calories per day.
0:10.4	Good, good tactic, very measurable.
0:13.5	How are you going to measure it, though?
0:15.7	Do you have an app?
0:17.1	Do you know how many calories are in what?
0:19.6	Do you have a scale that you can measure your protein with or measure out the rice or the vegetables that you're going to have? I mean, we need to get down to the nitty-gritty and start measuring this stuff because it's very easy to deceive ourselves and to say, yeah, yeah, yeah, I'm doing it. You're a man of action.

1:24.2	If I had to guess right now, he's probably eating some chicken noodle soup and having some
1:29.8	saltines and maybe watching the price is right for the rest of the day. I don't know. That's what I did
1:35.2	when I was a kid. I don't know if the kids are still doing that these days, but he's down and out.
1:40.0	So you're going to hear from me for better or worse today. And specifically on today's podcast,
1:44.1	we're going to talk about systems, structures,
