0:38.9 | I actually realized that I want to amend the last Friday episode that we did. And that was about |
0:47.2 | balancing personal, private life, business, business. I meant your take. Yeah, I want to amend my take a little bit. |
0:53.9 | I think that it is remarkably like being on a diet in terms of like back rows, or it's remarkably like |
