| 0:00.0 | I'm going to be honest with you. I'm not sure how to start today's podcast. I'm trying this new thing, |
| 0:05.4 | which is amazing, which I have a producer that's just asking me questions about things, |
| 0:10.4 | and I'm just blabbing them, because this is going to feel real and natural. And for you listening, |
| 0:17.1 | whether you're brand new or you've been here a really long time, I thought it would be fun to |
| 0:21.7 | start by taking you on my journey, explaining it, hopefully in a way that totally makes sense. |
| 0:29.6 | I have always been a disaster. I was, I came out of the womb, just a chaotic mess. I didn't know |
