0:05.1	that Justin Wines reached out. They wanted to work with me and sponsor the podcast. Whether
0:09.1	or not you're buying wine for yourself or you're looking for corporate gifting or gifts for
0:13.1	friends and family, they got you covered. They recently sent me some of their wines, including
0:16.9	the cabs of their flagship wine. I saw sleeves and their award-winning justification. I cannot wait
0:22.3	to share these with friends and family and also drink some myself. Justin Wines has been crafting
0:27.3	exceptional wines since 1981, with world-class Bordeaux style wines. Justin basically put

1:44.4	your pain because I've fallen into this constant achievement trap again and again and again
1:51.2	and it's so interesting because when I do these videos I always usually do videos on topics that
