0:00.0	I'm tempted to cheat a client or a business partner out of money because the financial gain
0:07.1	right now today is something that I want or need. I'm much more likely to do that versus thinking

1:11.7	Molokai is beautiful, don't you think? Crickets. Parts of it are beautiful. No, Molokai is great.
