0:00.0 | Hello, how are you Patrick here? The quick introduction to this week's episode. If you listen to or |
0:07.1 | watched last week's episode, you will know that Ben has a new book out called Unlocking Potential. |
0:13.1 | You can find it on the Amazon's. Just give it a quick search or I'm sure at this point. Ben has |
0:19.5 | posted on Instagram so you can find some links there as well. Either way, Unlocking Potential is |
0:24.3 | the name of the book. In the last week's episode, we talked about some of the big ideas inside the |
0:28.4 | book. And this week, I'm really excited. We're joined by Christine Bald. Christine is Ben's co-writer |

1:42.5 | I'm great. Thanks so much for having me. |
1:44.8 | Please, we're pumped for it. So obviously you are, the three of us are good friends. |
1:49.6 | This will be your introduction to the show. But like I said, I think a lot of people at least know |
