| 0:14.9 | Top of the morning to you, Brian Baphini. Welcome to It's a Good Life. Glad to be with |
| 0:19.0 | you today. |
| 0:20.2 | Covert Part 2 of the Entrepreneurs dilemma. In Part 1, we talked about how to get on the |
| 0:24.9 | same page and I shared the story of a gentleman that I had a chat with. Somewhere between |
| 0:29.4 | a chat and an intervention. It's a classic story, one that I've heard many, many times |

| 1:36.2 | I kept asking that gentleman, why are you doing this? Why do you need to make more money? |
