| 0:19.3 | of some of today's brightest entrepreneurs in real estate and business, along with Hollywood |
| 0:24.4 | stars, UFC fighters and your favorite rock fans. People that have figured out how to overcome obstacles, |
| 0:31.1 | take chances, live boldly, and no matter what they do, they always bring their A-Game. |
| 0:47.2 | All right, my guest today on the A-Game Podcast is one of the most inspirational and extraordinary, |
| 0:52.9 | bad-ass guys I have had on this. Probably by far, which is saying a lot, not the |
| 0:57.1 | downgrading of anybody else, but to literally be known as one of the most interesting men in the |
| 1:01.0 | world is something that most people don't get to see next to their name and writing. So Dean |
