| 0:00.0 | Welcome to It's a Good Life Podcast, where it's all about helping entrepreneurs think, |
| 0:07.6 | feel and do better. Here's your host, Brian Bafini. |
| 0:14.1 | Welcome to It's a Good Life Podcast. I'm David Lali, producer of the podcast, and I'm |
| 0:18.6 | happy to be here with you today. Earlier this week, our guest, Maya Shankar, joined us |
| 0:23.6 | to talk about a slight change of plans, which is also the name of her podcast. We've all |
| 0:29.6 | experienced a change of plans in our lives. But of course, we're here today to talk to |
| 0:35.5 | our host, Brian Bafini. I'd love to hear about a few slight change of plans that you've had in |
| 0:40.7 | your life. Yeah, I've had more than a few, as you would well know, and I've had a few major ones. |

| 1:32.8 | Beach and he opened up a clothing store. I went to go see him. He loaned me this motorcycle. And so |
| 1:38.4 | I'm just having a good time, right? I'm enjoying myself. I'm in San Diego. How could you not enjoy |
| 1:42.6 | yourself? It's sunny. There was beautiful girls around the place. It was on the beach. I was |
