0:00.0	You're listening to The Savvy Painter Podcast, episode number 346.
0:09.3	Hello, hello. Welcome to another episode of the Savvy Painter Podcast. I am super excited to share
0:16.5	this episode with you. I'm going to give you a peek inside of Growth Studio. We had an amazing
0:25.3	conversation recently about the flow state. And so this episode is a free-flowing conversation

1:39.1	this is an example of it. So let's dive in. So today is art chat, you all. One of the favorite days. Anybody have
1:50.9	anything that they want to discuss specifically or do we want to play? Just kind of curious. Any questions or any topics?
2:02.1	Lisa.
2:02.8	Yeah.
2:03.3	You know what?
