| 0:00.0 | Welcome to your world within daily. I'm Eddie Pinero. And in this episode, we're going to talk about |
| 0:04.9 | being strong in your convictions. I'm going to play a speech called Stop Apologizing, which is |
| 0:11.5 | essentially about doubling down on those things that make you different, you know, thinking |
| 0:17.2 | different, having a different worldview, going down a different path, |
| 0:21.6 | being interested in things that are not normal, those things are not something to |
| 0:25.5 | hide or conceal or apologize for. |

| 1:45.4 | You don't need to apologize for having a different worldview than the person next you. |
| 1:51.1 | You were brought up differently. |
| 1:52.3 | You have different, you know, values. |
| 1:55.2 | You see life differently, and that's okay, right? |
| 1:58.4 | The idea is, in a nutshell, a lot of things happen to make you, you. |
| 2:05.6 | And that is power. And rather than diminish it and feel less than, why not utilize it to the best of your ability? |
| 2:17.4 | Why not find your strengths and and go all in why not |
