| 0:00.0 | at some point along the way realized that money was infinite but the time was not. |
| 0:06.0 | You know that I could always go out and make more money but I was never going to get back, you know, my time that I was trading for money and so you know once I realized you know I'd obviously read all about but once I realized that kind of this moment is all there is then it really woke me up to the fact of like, oh, if I'm going to trade |
| 0:26.5 | my life energy for money, I want to try to make as much as possible and buy my freedom. |
| 0:32.0 | And I figured out pretty once I left my parents house and I started a whole new career at the |
| 0:38.0 | age of 24 it was with a completely different mindset and I figured out early on that like every |
| 0:44.0 | hundred dollars that I was saving I was buying four or five days of freedom in the |
| 0:48.3 | future and I started measuring money and units of time. |

| 1:23.0 | So not only would it, you know, it was 2,000 hours of my life, |
| 1:26.0 | I was trading for that car, but I was sacrificing that |
| 1:29.0 | and I would have to work another six years in the future just to afford it. |
| 1:33.7 | So I started measuring my life that way and I mean that's really what the book's |
| 1:37.6 | about how to make more money in less time so you have more time to live a life you love. I'm Sreni Rao and this is the unmistakable Creative Podcast, |
