| 0:05.0 | I always had to be so good no one could ignore me. |
| 0:08.0 | Carve my path with data and drive. |
| 0:10.0 | But some people only see who I am on paper. |
| 0:14.0 | The paper ceiling, the limitations from degree screens to stereotypes |
| 0:18.0 | that are holding back over 70 million stars. Workers skilled through |
| 0:21.9 | alternative routes rather than a bachelor's degree. It's time for skills to speak for themselves. |
| 0:27.9 | Find resources for breaking through barriers at tailorpapersealing.org. Brought to you by |

| 0:40.9 | What's going on, everybody? |
| 0:42.3 | Welcome into Fantasy Pros. |
| 0:44.0 | This is leading off live. |
| 0:46.1 | I'm your host Joe O'Riko today. |
| 0:47.9 | Joined by Casey Bubba. |
| 0:50.7 | If you guys were listening to these podcasts at the end of last season, |
