0:00.0	Everything's important, but some things are still more important than others.
0:03.1	And if you can't get clear on what the priorities are for you,
0:05.5	then how the fuck do you expect your spouse or your partner or the person you're dating
0:08.7	to figure out what's important for you if you can't even figure it out. Welcome to the game where we talk about how to sell more stuff to more people in more ways and
0:18.0	build businesses worth owning. I'm trying to build a billion dollar thing with acquisition.com.
0:22.2	I always wish Bessos, Musk, and Buffett had documented their journey,
0:25.2	so I'm doing it for the rest of us. Please share and enjoy.
0:30.2	If I were single and starting over, this is how I'd find my Lala.

1:14.0	Because a lot of times, I feel like earlier on,
1:15.9	we date people who fill one clear role or one clear look,
1:20.7	especially when you're younger.
1:21.6	It's just, I mean, at least for me, it it was just like how hot is this person or whatever but over time you realize that like you did someone a little bit on the edge and you're like oh I liked all these other things that the people I normally don't have and then all of a sudden you start
1:32.9	branching into very different types of people and kind of in some ways appreciating because I would say I've dated
1:39.8	a more diverse selection of people than I've been friends with. Well, I would say friends, like anyone's friends with me is very narrowly interested in certain types of things,
