0:00.0	believe in the ripple fact
0:25.6	The ripple fact I'm a host of Ricardo Rends, and today we have a great episode.
1:14.8	I definitely was a little mentally and physically tired for this show, but luckily I have a great news. I have two of the smartest, most delightful
1:21.5	people to talk to, James Corbett of the Corby Report and Richard Grove of Tragedy and Hope.com.
1:30.2	And it was an amazing conversation.
1:32.1	It's super fun to have these connections and to meet all these people in this whole journey

2:36.3	much better than I ever do. But it's one of those conversations and one of those podcasts I truly
2:43.3	believe in the process of it and after it you always end up learning something and kind of
2:47.9	growing with these type of conversations. So I think it's very important to be, and like I say on the podcast, it's very important to be able to
2:55.3	share your ideas, but also be willing to have those ideas and perspectives challenged. And I keep
3:03.0	stressing that because I think that's much more important than just already having an established idea that you want to share with people. I think that's that's much more important than than just already having
