0:00.0	Every successful entrepreneur has one thing in common. They've failed big time. I know because I've
0:06.7	been there. Before the 100-a-show became an award-winning podcast, I launched a failed podcast that
0:12.7	totally went nowhere. Before Webinar Ninja became a multi-million dollar software, I spent months
