0:00.0	We got to think about our thinking and pay attention, what we're paying attention to,
0:05.6	because any behavior you pay attention to, you reinforce that behavior.
0:18.6	Welcome to the One You Feed.
0:20.7	Throughout time, great thinkers have recognized the importance of the thoughts we have,
0:25.2	quotes like garbage in, garbage out, or you are what you think, ring true, and yet for many of us

2:03.3	challenge and the mindsets that fuel their success. Guests include Brunei Brown, Lin-Manuel Miranda,
