| 0:00.0 | I'm Kevin Miller. This is the what drives you podcast where I've investigated over 270 experts in the human potential movement. |
| 0:09.0 | I hunt for the academics, therapists, and researchers who you may never hear of as they're busy teaching classes, |
| 0:15.1 | counseling patients, and doing research in labs and I bring you their |
| 0:18.8 | insights, insights to better understand and be fully you, to move from performance to potential, from doing to being. |
| 0:28.0 | Drive and learn with me as we uncover our peak potential and find our fulfillment. |
| 0:35.0 | In this episode, make peace with pain through an emotional cold plunge. |

| 1:40.0 | Emotional cold plunging is very much the same and I want to give this gift to you. |
| 1:46.3 | So drive with me a moment. |
| 1:48.0 | Well thinking about emotions, whether they're there or not, whether you feel them or not, it reminds me of this. |
| 1:58.0 | I've seen a meme about it, but apparently the story goes, David Foster Wallace is a guy who began a commencement address to |
