| 0:00.0 | All right, welcome back or welcome to the Finding Mastery Podcast, I'm Michael Jervay. If you've ever thought |
| 0:15.4 | that if you've had known then what you know now that you would have shifted |
| 0:20.1 | gears in a heartbeat or if you've ever wanted to you know start a new or blaze a new path in your life but then somehow quickly you just stepped on that excitement by saying it's just too late or there's too many responsibilities that I have or there's too much that I need to be able to do in my life that I'll never be able to make that happen or that's for other people. |
| 0:42.0 | All of those, let's call it inner dialogue |

| 1:45.0 | I think you're going to flat out love this conversation. |
| 1:48.0 | Finding Mastery is brought to you by natural stacks. |
| 1:51.0 | Your brain is one of the hungriest organs in your body. It's been found to consume roughly |
