| 0:00.0 | Okay, I have a question for you then. If you're looking back to your younger self and you want to |
| 0:05.6 | give that perspective when you weren't quite capable of hearing something like this, how would |
| 0:10.5 | you tell them to play the long game? I would say think for a long, long time before you get into |
| 0:16.4 | something and then be prepared to do it forever. I would say, don't start a business that you do |
| 0:25.4 | want to sell, start a business that you never want to sell. I would say with human beings and |
| 0:32.4 | with a lot of relationships, I don't even think, I don't even think I'm playing a game with people. I think I don't actually |
| 0:38.3 | think of it as a game because you just, you're just hanging out, you're just making friends. |

| 1:27.3 | that was how you ran a business |
| 1:28.2 | when really I could have got that right earlier. |
| 1:34.7 | All right, Jody. I'm back from Las Vegas and as the slogan says what happens in Vegas |
| 1:39.1 | stays in Vegas but one thing that will travel with me outside of Vegas is my skin's wrecked, |
| 1:46.1 | my throat's jacked. So with that, let's get into the episode. What are we talking about today? We are talking about how to play |
| 1:50.7 | the long game. And as context for this, I feel like in our conversations together, we've realized |
