0:00.0	When you decide to go into business for yourself, it's as much about your hustle as it is about your talent.
0:15.2	As skilled and talented as you may be, if your hustle is not on point, you are going to struggle not only getting into the
0:22.6	game, but also staying in it. Phil Penman understands that, which is why he's managed to

1:33.6	I love your story.
