| 0:00.0 | What's up everybody? This conversation you're about to hear was recorded last Friday, April 17th and released on the premium subscriber feed last Monday and I'm releasing it now for regular listeners of the podcast. |
| 0:15.0 | I'm going to take lessons from how I did this episode and try to apply them to all of the stuff that I put out, |

| 1:32.0 | I think we could all benefit from a little more focus, but in this |
| 1:36.5 | case you're doing me and other potential listeners a great service. So please, if you haven't |
