0:00.0	Hi guys, what's up? It is Candice. I'm recording my pod from Kyoto today in the middle of a typhoon.
0:15.3	I'm wearing my Japanese pajamas in my hotel room. And if you've been to Japan, you know what I mean. They are so
0:22.8	cute here. They set out robes in Japanese pajamas for you to always go to sleep in. And they
0:29.6	always give you toothbrushes and they've got all the amenities without you ever having to ask for

1:55.1	It was so perfectly imperfect.
1:57.6	It wasn't perfectly imperfect.

2:03.0	And it wasn't that we weren't organized. We were actually highly organized. It was that people do have to work together on
2:08.2	teamwork. Otherwise, um, things don't flow. And I had some really awesome people from my team in house that day
