| 0:00.0 | You'll make more money once you realize failure is just the entry price to eventual success. |
| 0:05.7 | Respect is earned, not given. I wasn't deserving of respect. And if you're not getting respect right now, |
| 0:10.4 | it might be because you need to have a little bit more dangerous of a demeanor. Sometimes the chip |
| 0:14.2 | on your shoulder is worth more than a pat on the back. Stay cool on the surface, baby, paddle like hell, |
| 0:19.1 | never apologize for trying really, really hard. |
| 0:22.1 | Having a job is hard. Having a business is hard. Choose your heart. That thing in front of you at this |
| 0:27.3 | moment that you think is going to break you might actually be the thing that is going to catapult you |
| 0:31.8 | to the next level of the game. Welcome back to the Big Deal podcast. I'm Cody Sanchez. I want to talk to you |
| 0:40.8 | vulnerably today about all the ways I've lost, the lessons I've learned in it, so you can get |
| 0:46.2 | more comfortable with the truth and thus win more. If you're not failing enough and big enough, |
