| 0:00.0 | Hi listeners, it's Reed. If you've ever felt stuck, if you can't get out of a rut or |
| 0:05.1 | over a hurdle, well, you're in good company. Every entrepreneur I've spoken to on Master's |
| 0:10.1 | scale has faced that moment at some point in their career. And so have most of the world's |
| 0:15.9 | greatest artists and creators. In fact, anyone who has ever tried to bring a bold, new |
| 0:21.3 | vision of life can probably relate. That's why I want to recommend another podcast that |
| 0:27.1 | will help you break out of the mold and cultivate a creative mindset. It's called Spark and Fire, |
| 0:34.0 | and it's produced by the same award-winning team that's behind Master's scale. Spark and Fire |
| 0:39.1 | is designed to fuel your creativity and innovation with epic stories and memorable takeaways from |
| 0:45.2 | creators at the top of their game. So take a quick moment right now to search for Spark and Fire |
| 0:51.6 | in your podcast player and follow the show. I've gotten a sneak peek in the some of their |
| 0:56.7 | upcoming episodes and trust me, you won't want to miss what's in store. |

| 1:27.2 | and with Pink Floyd, I called their office. It took me several phone calls. I don't take no |
| 1:33.1 | for an answer so I find a way to negotiate. I would give entrepreneurs this advice not to be afraid. |
| 1:40.1 | Try for an idea that seems so crazy and undueble when you first start because you never know what |
| 1:46.6 | you can do before you try it. That's Victoria Yampolsky, CEO of a new organization called World |
| 1:57.2 | Unite for Ukraine. A New York-based Russia-born entrepreneur, Yampolsky had an idea for a big |
| 2:03.4 | concert to raise funds and support for Ukrainians. And even though she had no experience in entertainment |
