| 0:00.0 | Welcome to It's a Good Life Podcast. |
| 0:04.6 | We're bringing you something different called a quick cut and it's a short high impact episode every Tuesday. |
| 0:10.8 | But don't worry on Thursdays you can tune into the full in-depth conversation. |
| 0:16.4 | We hope you enjoy it. |
| 0:17.8 | Well the top of the morning to you, in fact, the top of the morning to you in fact the top of the year to you. I want to wish you all a very happy new year and I think I have the right message at the right time for you today. |
| 0:30.0 | Our episode today is entitled Ready Set Goal. |
| 0:33.2 | And this is always our most listened to episode every year, |
| 0:36.9 | so I'm really gonna make it worth your while. |
| 0:39.2 | I'm in the studio today wearing my Formula One jacket. |
| 0:42.2 | Formula One is the basis of how I want to get your year off to a great start. |

| 1:21.0 | you. First we need a formation lap. Second, |
| 1:24.0 | winner start from the front and third, we're going to talk about ready, set, go. |
| 1:29.0 | So in Formula One, one of the things they have is called the formation lap. And they didn't always do this and what they found is they were having a bunch of crashes on the first lap of the race, a bunch of cars burning out. |
| 1:40.0 | And what it does, it allows the drivers to kind of hit some speed, weave in and out get the tires warmed up, and it helped considerably cut down on the false starts and the crashes that were happening in every race. |
