| 0:00.0 | Hey, you guys, we're coming to the end of our summer re-air series where we've brought to you some of our |
| 0:06.0 | favorite conversations from the last several years. And this one today is one of my tops. I feel like I say |
| 0:13.2 | that every time, but this really is one of my top favorite conversations because I got to sit down |
| 0:19.0 | with Johnny Erickson Tata, who is up there on my |
| 0:22.9 | list of strong women. She's close to the top, if not the top. And I just learned so much from |
| 0:29.8 | Johnny and I'm excited for you guys to hear this conversation. It's one that I've referred back to |
| 0:35.0 | the most in just regular everyday conversations because it had |
| 0:39.2 | such an impact on me. Before we get into it, I just want to remind you, we have season six |

| 1:52.1 | We're here to encourage one another as we step out of the shallow definitions of what it |
| 1:57.4 | means to be a woman and into the flourishing life that comes when we walk out our design. |
