0:00.0	What's up everyone? Welcome back to another episode of the crazy ones. This is one of your hosts Alex
0:06.8	and I am back with a founder journal style episode. What is a founder journal style episode? You may be wondering well before the crazy ones
0:14.6	I used to have the show called founder journal where I would basically do these
0:19.0	five to 25 minute journal style episodes where I'd monologue about some topic related to building businesses
0:26.7	we've started mixing that format back in with our other episodes of the crazy ones which are
0:32.8	the ones where Jesse and I basically turn on the mic turn on the camera and talk about what's

1:37.3	and two very tangible tools that I'm using to get better at it. So let's hop into the episode.
1:44.1	What's up everyone I'm Alex Lieberman. You know this is Jesse Pooji and this is the crazy ones.
1:51.6	I always thought I was good at delegation. I assume that I had to be given morning brew's
2:00.4	growth over the last eight years but as I've re-immersed myself in new businesses outside of the
