| 0:00.0 | It's not going to solve your life's problems. It's not going to fix issues or the fundamental |
| 0:05.2 | flaws within your business without a ton of work, but sometimes it can provide clarity when |
| 0:11.8 | you're so deep in it that you can't see your way out. Welcome back to Midweek Modern Craftsman. This week we had another guest, Morgan |
