0:00.0	Hey, everybody. Welcome to another episode of Conversations with Tom. I am here with the legendary
0:05.5	thinker and bestselling author, Gabor Matte. Gabor, thank you so much for joining me today.
0:11.5	It's a great pleasure. Thanks for having me. Man, I'm really excited about this. You've got such a
0:16.5	cool breadth of work that focuses in on an area that I care deeply about, which is I'll sum
