| 0:00.0 | Welcome to Darren Daly on demand, your most trusted resource to help you become better every day. |
| 0:07.3 | Here's your success mentor, Darren Hardy. |
| 0:13.5 | There is an Aesop fable that goes like this. |
| 0:16.4 | An eagle swoop from out the sky and carried off a sheep. |
| 0:20.3 | A raven seeing him said, I could do that too. |
| 0:23.7 | I should try. His meal comes mighty cheap. Of all that well-fed flock was one as fat as fat could be. |

| 1:29.5 | Number one, just do you, man. Don't do somebody else. If you're a Raven, don't try to copy an eagle. |
| 1:37.3 | Just be the best damn Raven you can be. Stop trying to be or act like someone else. Only Tony can do Tony, Gary, Gary, Seth, Tim, Tim, and Richard, Richard. |
| 1:48.5 | Only you can do you. |
| 1:50.6 | That's your uniqueness, your gift. |

| 1:57.2 | Always be you. |
