| 0:00.0 | Good morning and welcome to the 5 a.m. Miracle podcast, episode number 600. |
| 0:09.6 | Get up and do something. How to leverage fear and anxiety in the moment. |
| 0:15.4 | Now, I'm going to do something that I have never done on this podcast in 12. a half years. I'm just going to talk to you. |
| 0:23.9 | Just going to have a conversation about something that I think is extremely important, and I'm |
| 0:30.4 | going to leverage the fact that this is episode number 600 and have some fun. So today we're going to do an episode that is wildly |
| 0:40.1 | different. There will not be any ads. There will not be any typical checklists or top 10 lists |

| 1:36.3 | work, though obviously the compounding of those actions over time will grow into big success. |
| 1:42.5 | The thing I'm most curious about and interested in are those key |
| 1:46.6 | moments when you're faced with a decision and you have to make a move. Do something now. Get up |
| 1:54.0 | and do something. And what does that mean for your future? What are the implications of choosing |
| 2:00.2 | or making the right choice, let's say, |
| 2:03.0 | in that moment to then change your whole life, change your business, change your career, |
| 2:08.6 | change your finances, because you struck when the iron was hot. The moment showed up, |
