| 0:00.0 | Any times that you have broken relationships, whether it's with someone of the opposite sex that you're in love with, or even somebody that you have a deep friendship with that's gone south I mean they pop to mind and there's |
| 0:15.7 | that sting that's still there and and I don't know how to fix that other than this idea of a new creation that we're like just |
| 0:27.0 | this idea that we're this next version of us and I want to be the next humblest version Bob. |
| 0:33.0 | And that can involve saying I'm sorry to some people |
| 0:36.7 | that I've let down or heard along the way |
| 0:39.4 | and not demanding and I'm sorry from somebody else who's either let me or you down or broken our hearts, |
| 0:46.0 | but to just realize that they're wounded and just trying to make their way forward just like we are. |

| 1:27.0 | the courage to ask for forgiveness. |
| 1:30.5 | I think on our last day here on Earth, I don't know if it'll be in a bed in a field, I don't know, but on our last few moments |
| 1:38.3 | there's room for about eight people around you, nine if they're thin. So what I've tried to do is think who would the |
| 1:48.2 | eight people I'd want around my bed be. I'm Sreni Rao and this is the unmistakable creative |
| 1:59.9 | podcast where you get a window into the stories and insights of the most innovative and |
