| 0:00.0 | All right, so welcome back or welcome to the Finding Mastery Podcast. |
| 0:13.0 | I'm Michael Jervay and the idea behind these podcasts is to have conversations with people who are on the path of mastery, |
| 0:19.0 | who have a point of view, if you will, about mastery. |
| 0:22.0 | And it doesn't mean necessarily that they are |
| 0:25.0 | the best in the world, but they're on that path, |

| 1:14.1 | Finding Mastery is brought to you by Kajabi. I've always had a deep appreciation for |
| 1:19.2 | witnessing how people express and share their craft. |
| 1:22.6 | And I know we have a lot of creators in the finding master community. |
| 1:25.9 | And I realize that being a creator is not easy. |
