| 0:00.0 | Hello and welcome to this very special episode of the ESG Fitness podcast. |
| 0:09.2 | It is Sunday night and I'm about to have a chat with Hannah. |
| 0:15.0 | Welcome to the podcast. |
| 0:16.7 | Hello. |
| 0:17.2 | Thanks for having me back. |
| 0:18.9 | Yeah, this is like a monthly thing now, right? Yeah. I mean, |
| 0:22.7 | we've kind of evolved. We used to just chat about really serious stuff like COVID and they were just |

| 1:37.2 | like, oh, well, if Hannah can do it, then I can do it. And actually it's really motivating seeing |
| 1:41.1 | other people get results. And I don't know if I know how to cultivate that in someone else. |
