| 0:00.0 | You're listening to TIP. This was my first real job where it was like the prospect was this is what I'm |
| 0:07.2 | going to be doing for the rest of my life. You know, there's no natural terminal point to this. And just that |
| 0:13.2 | idea made me, I had to get out. It gave me so much anxiety to think that I could do that for the |

| 0:27.1 | Hey, everybody. In this week's episode, I got to sit down with Raleigh Williams to chat about how he left a lucrative job as an M&A lawyer to launch an entertainment group focused on |

| 0:38.1 | some of the obstacles were as he bought and developed the escape rooms. Raleigh has a diverse |

| 1:57.4 | Thanks for having me, Patrick. Stuck to be here. Yeah, I'm really excited to have you. I was looking at your Twitter feed and something that immediately jumped out at me that intrigued me was your go-to entrepreneurial book that you recommend to most people. It's one of my favorites as well. But can you talk about that book and why it's something that you really recommend to a lot of people? Sure. The book is, |
| 2:19.6 | I think the book was The War of Art. Is that the one? That's the one. Good. The War of Art is a book |
