0:00.0	Welcome to the Make Sense with Dr. J.C. podcast. This podcast covers topics that expand human consciousness
0:06.4	and performance. On the Make Sense podcast, we acknowledge that it's who you are that determines how
0:13.1	well what you do works, and that perception is a subjective and acquired taste. When you change
0:20.3	the way that you look at things, the things that you
0:22.7	look at begin to change. The Make Sense podcast is sponsored and primarily funded by the Make Sense Academy.
0:30.0	Our private community, where open and curious seekers of growth and expansion apply the
0:35.4	make sense principles and systems to move from simply going

1:41.2	We will move in this direction.
1:43.6	This will matter and this won't matter today.
1:44.8	Then we become the dominant forces of our lives, the shock callers of our reality, because it's who we are that determines how
1:50.8	well what we do works. So who are you this morning? Because that's going to play a big role in how well
1:57.1	what you do today works. And the halves that we want, that we need, that we must have,
