0:00.0	Welcome to What's Next with Eric Wood, where we will prepare you to make your
0:13.9	What's Next in life your best yet by learning from high performers in a variety of industries.
0:19.3	So this is a special episode. This is episode 100,
0:22.6	and it's a thank you to the listeners, the sponsors, and everybody else that has supported this
0:28.3	show. And it's also going to peel back the curtain a little bit on what this podcast is all
