0:05.0	and today, prepare to go to school. You're going to learn a lot today, and I have no doubt about that.
0:10.4	I have my associate, my friend, my colleague, Nate Christensen back on live, because a few weeks ago,
0:15.7	I re-ran an episode that Nate did on giving his 10 commandments of dealing with depression,
0:20.2	and that went absolutely
0:21.5	fantastic. But in this episode, Nate was back in the studio. And as I shared in that best of,
