| 0:14.4 | I am Jeff Sanders, and you have reached the podcast that is dedicated to dominating your day before breakfast. |
| 0:22.6 | I am a keynote speaker and corporate trainer, and to learn more about that, head on over to jeffsanders.com slash speaking. |
| 0:29.0 | Now, in the episode this week, I speak with Austin Blake. Austin and the Stuff App team are |
| 0:34.2 | sponsoring the episode this week, and I definitely want to thank them for their |

| 1:55.0 | So I sold Apple computers for a while. |
| 1:57.3 | And I love that company. |
| 1:59.1 | I love all things tech related. So let's just go there first. |
