| 0:00.0 | Hey everyone, welcome back to capitalism.com. I'm Ryan Daniel Moran. |
| 0:08.0 | Hey, I hope you have taken a moment today to appreciate what is good in your life. |
| 0:14.0 | Man, if you look at social media, everybody is talking about their fears about what is going wrong in the world and I hope you |
| 0:21.9 | have remembered today that you are in control of your thoughts your feelings your actions |
| 0:27.3 | and therefore the outcomes to some extent in your life and I hope you've taken a moment |

| 1:37.7 | and it's the best part of the business. And being in resistance to that deprives you of the most enjoyable part of the |
| 1:47.7 | journey. But I'm not talking about that kind of grind. I'm talking about the kind of grind in which |
| 1:52.2 | you are over-exerting yourself, where you are taxing the system, where you are over-hustling. |
| 2:00.6 | Is that part of the process? |
| 2:03.5 | Is it a necessary piece of success? |
