| 0:00.0 | Good morning and welcome to the Increase Your Impact Podcast. I'm Justin Sua episode 2,200. We are |
| 0:05.9 | rolling along and coming close to the end of 2025. Today's episode is for those of you who |
| 0:13.9 | want to take action, but you care way too much about what other people think. |
| 0:26.0 | 2026 might require you to get out of your comfort zone, but some of you don't want to get out of your comfort zone because you are afraid of the scorn and the finger pointing and |
| 0:32.0 | what others think about you. |
| 0:34.6 | Now, if that is you, I want to remind you of a parable that I shared on this |
| 0:39.4 | podcast many years ago. And it's a story of this much older couple and their donkey as they're |

| 1:49.8 | off of the donkey and let's both right alongside the donkey. |
