| 0:14.3 | Howdy, howdy, howdy, and welcome to episode number 936 of the Potter's cast. Welcome to the show. I am so stoked we're hanging |
| 0:24.7 | together today because I've got this really cool artist that's coming on the show today, Marissa |
| 0:29.7 | Childers, and she is absolutely stunning in her work that she does. She's an Enseka emerging artist this year, and what we talk about in today's conversation |
| 0:44.4 | is about the idea of taking advantage of success. |
| 0:49.3 | I remember this deal back in the day of when people would go on to these specific shows. I remember |

| 1:54.3 | idea in this episode about taking chances without being reckless, for instance, and how to avoid having just, everything being just good enough, and putting yourself out there. |
| 2:09.6 | And I feel like it's such an important thing for us to examine this idea about how to go from one success to the next and not resting |
| 2:21.0 | on yesterday. But having something for tomorrow to look forward to. So that's kind of in a nutshell, |
| 2:28.9 | maybe a little bit exaggerated, but at least in a nutshell what we talked about. |
| 2:39.8 | So let's jump in this conversation I had with Marissa Childers right after this work from our sponsor. |
