| 0:00.0 | Good morning and welcome to the Increase Your Impact Podcast. I'm Justin Sua, episode 1000, actually |
| 0:05.9 | no, we're past 1, 2012. I want to read a quote from Bertrand Russell. He says this, |
| 0:14.2 | envy is one of the most potent causes of unhappiness. If we are constantly measuring our worth relative to those around us, |
| 0:26.1 | relative to what we see other people doing, we're always going to fall short because there's |
| 0:31.8 | always someone stronger and faster and smarter and has more money and is happier. |
| 0:38.3 | And we get caught in this trap of constantly comparing ourselves to other people |
| 0:43.3 | and comparing ourselves in some cases to our old selves. |
| 0:46.3 | And my invitation for all of us today is to take joy in the success of others, to celebrate their |

| 1:39.0 | and be grateful for what we have. And so hopefully that was helpful for you. Today, I also want to share an exciting |
| 1:46.8 | announcement. I'm thrilled. We started a new company called the Performance Advisory Group, |
| 1:52.5 | and I'm teaming up with former professional athletes. I get emails all the time of wanting people |
| 1:58.9 | wanting to connect and work with me. And I'm so grateful for that. However, the time of wanting people wanting to connect and work with me and I'm so grateful for |
| 2:02.4 | that however that the time just doesn't allow it and so what we've done is I have teamed up with |
| 2:08.0 | former professional athletes in football and baseball and basketball who are ready to be mentors |
| 2:14.0 | to anyone who's reaching out and you will have a chance to have three conversations |
