| 0:00.0 | This is the Playbook, where each week I bring you some of the greatest athletes, celebrities, and entrepreneurs to talk about their personal and professional playbook to success. |
| 0:12.0 | Number one, I believe the best way to speak is to write down everyday lessons that resonate with you. |
| 0:19.0 | Not everything, there's way too much content out there including this. |
| 0:23.0 | Don't remember anything I say unless it resonates with you. |
| 0:26.1 | And then attach a notation. |
| 0:28.2 | I just use a folder in Outlook. |
| 0:30.2 | And so someone said something at Princeton, it resonated with me. |
| 0:34.0 | I text it to myself, then I email it to my outlook, I put it in a folder. |

| 1:25.0 | You then have the three stories to tell, you're watching the clock, and you know what your conclusion is according to the stories and lessons that you teach. |
| 1:33.0 | Also helps with interviews, which then gets you more speaking engagements, |
| 1:36.0 | also helps you with all other content that you do, |
| 1:39.0 | and so you're always teaching in the oldest form and fashion of teaching which is to tell stories and you |
| 1:44.4 | never have to remember anything other than two or three lessons that you want to |
