| 0:00.0 | I received two emails from a listener. |
| 0:03.5 | They are about one year and five months apart. |
| 0:07.1 | Our listener, who we're going to call James, |
| 0:09.8 | use this podcast to change his life and you'll find out how |
| 0:13.6 | and some ideas for how you can do the same thing. |
| 0:18.6 | On May 3rd, 2022 at 10.19 p.m., James wrote to me, Matthew, I wasn't sure how to |
