0:00.0	Hey everybody, welcome back to the Muslim Intelligence Podcast.
0:02.0	I'm your host, Ben Pocolski.
0:03.0	And in today's episode, I want to try to convince you that anything and everything you've ever wanted in life is already possible for you if you start to understand the clarity, the capability, and the commitment.
0:18.0	Get clear on the mission, increase your capability,
