| 0:00.0 | Welcome to Exploring the Marketplace Podcast. My co-host is Bob Hassan and we are creating |
| 0:10.9 | a conversation with Christian Marketplace leaders who have careers that have been impacted |
| 0:14.8 | by their faith. We are also answering your questions about entrepreneurship, business |

| 0:24.6 | Come join the conversation now. Welcome to Exploring the Marketplace was Sean and Bob. |
| 0:31.8 | Sean, what do you want to talk about today? I want to talk about one of the guests we have |
| 0:36.4 | on coming out Christian Garrett who I've known for a long time and one of the things that |
| 0:40.4 | really strikes me about him is that he gives away connections freely to people he really |
| 0:45.1 | cares about. Meaning there's a whole business out there to broker relationships and deals |

| 1:41.0 | it's really cool when you have God in place because people freely give. It's like when |
| 1:44.8 | they receive freely, I'm going to give to you. And that right there is a market distinguishing |
