0:00.0	Coming up, I share the moment that almost made me quit the climb to broadcasting.
0:10.0	Oh, it's going to hurt again. And then we've got a plumber shortage, clogging up our economy?
0:16.3	Yeah, I went there. Let's go.
0:22.0	Hey, I'm here to help you win at work because if you're winning at work, you are
0:27.2	winning in a huge area of your life. If you're getting better, your pay tech's
0:32.0	getting bigger, and I want to help you in that area.
0:36.0	All right, so you know, from time to time the team is like, hey listen, I want you to share some of your story and you know all this kind of stuff and and I don't want to make
0:45.2	it about me but if we're going to make it about me it should be something that's
0:48.3	humiliating and something that really wrecked me and almost knocked me off the course that allows me to do what I do today.
0:58.0	And so this is one of those stories and there is a lesson here and it was devastating and it was devastating and it was devastating in how

1:47.0	Okay, God, I'm gonna pray and I'll make a few connections here or there, but you know, come on. And if you don't detect the sarcasm, let me tell you that that was so misguided and so I sat on the sidelines for a long time and so this story picks up in the midst of a flurry of activity once I finally kick myself in the rear end.
2:04.0	By the way, I don't recommend you try that at home.
2:07.0	It's hard to do, quite hazardous.
2:09.0	But I gave myself a real, come on man.
2:18.7	You're pathetic, get out there and make something happen. And by the way, quick aside, I have learned in my own journey and I will stand by this for the rest of my
2:31.6	days. I believe that when we step out, God steps in. I'm not trying to make this church. I'm not trying to preach at you. I'm just going to put that out there and you do what you want with that.
2:44.0	That's just kind of a little, that's what I believe to my core. When we step out, God steps in.
