0:13.3	I'm Laura Owens, and I'm Jan Black.
0:15.6	Could you use a new approach to your life and to your work?
0:18.9	And would you like to be better able to get your point
0:21.3	across to others? Is there a way that you could be more inspirational to others? Well, if you
0:25.9	answered yes to any of those questions, you'll want to hear what our guest, Jason Harris, has to say.
0:31.6	Jason is the co-founder and CEO of Mechanism, an award-winning creative advertising agency. He's also the author of the best
