0:00.0	People don't need more data. They need a practice. If you can't actually put it into practice,
0:05.2	28 days of the month, it's all bull-h-h-h. There's a tremendous blockade between knowing and doing.
0:11.8	I'm going to show up. I'm going to be the best citizen I can, and I accept that I have no
