| 0:00.0 | Welcome to the Bryan Bafini show. I'm the producer of the show, David Lally, and I have |
| 0:21.4 | a quick question for all of you before we kick off this episode. How many of you struggle |
| 0:27.1 | with finances? I feel like it's a common struggle, almost seeming to be a never-ending treadmill |
| 0:33.6 | day in day out. Well, today we're going to take a listen to Bryan at one of our live events |
