| 0:20.0 | because you guys love these. Today I'm |
| 0:23.0 | answering questions. It's fun. I even broke the fourth wall and included some of my crew. So |
| 0:28.3 | let's have a good time. I hope you guys enjoy this one. All right guys. So I'm going to do something |
| 0:33.7 | different on this episode. I'm going to be answering a few questions that will also bring you into my mindset and how I think about things. The first one is delulu or manifestation. |
| 0:44.3 | Hmm, the power of dreaming big. I can definitely tend to be a little delulu. I remember like growing up and my mom would always say, oh my goodness, you are literally |

| 0:59.0 | And I think it got me to where I am today because I see no bounds to how far I can go. |
