0:00.0	Hello guys.'s up and welcome back to another coffee talk
0:17.9	podcast episode. This is a new setup for the new year I'm not sure how I feel about it yet. So if you're
0:24.9	listening then just know that a couple things have changed. I have repositioned
0:29.7	actually I've redone my entire office. I'm in the middle of the process so off to the side where you guys can't see are the things that I still have to
0:39.1	Organize and go through I'm planning on getting some shelves putting up some of my old antique cameras and just
0:45.9	really having fun with it. I feel like New Year fresh start right and I have so much focus in this area of my life that it felt like it was time to give it a little bit of a refresher.
0:55.2	And with that came a new setup for recording as well.
0:59.0	Long story short, I'm using a new microphone.

The first being I want to talk about a couple of the things that I'm struggling with going into the new year just more psychologically and also with like the pressure of a new year and feeling this toe between the two polarities of a fresh
1:58.5	start, a fresh slate, like wanting to almost perfect everything in a way
2:03.2	and having the knowledge, the wherewith all the wisdom
2:07.1	of past years and also just books and you know mentors
2:12.2	and people that have really inspired me over the years that I understand now that I can pick that perfectionism apart a little bit with the new year.
2:19.6	I know it's very common to experience that feeling and that pressure as a new year is about us.
