0:00.0	The following podcast is a dear media production.
0:04.3	Welcome to RealPod. It's your host, Victoria Garrick Brown, and this is the podcast where we hold nothing back.
0:11.4	Oh, so we're getting deep, huh? I really cried for 12 days straight. Why do I want to be perfect?
0:17.2	There's nothing in my life that is perfect. Every week, I'll bring you honest, unfiltered,
0:22.0	and eye-opening conversations to help uncover the real in all of us. I crave the type of content
0:27.5	that you're talking about. I actually felt insecure. Oh my God, I'm not going to cry. Let me just
0:31.8	unload everything. New episodes every Wednesday. Leave those filters at the door because it's time to get real.
0:44.0	Hello, everybody and welcome back to RealPod. Today's episode is truly one of the most incredible
0:52.8	and life-altering conversations that I have ever had in my life,
0:57.9	and I feel so incredibly grateful that it was recorded on RealPod. I feel like today's conversation
1:05.0	could have happened, not on this podcast, but I feel like, and so does our guest today, Jeffrey Saad,
1:11.5	that today's conversation happened live on air for a reason so that more people could be a
1:18.1	part of it and more people could hear it. I truly have been buzzing ever since this conversation,
1:23.4	thinking about Jeffrey's wisdom, his inspiration, his message. It has already radically changed the way I think about things in my life and how I approach my every day. And I know it will for you too in an incredibly, incredibly positive way. In today's episode, we are going to be talking about cancer. And I know that that is something that affects many people,
1:46.0	many people that we love, that we know that we care about. And Jeffrey's outlook on that today is
1:51.8	truly like one of the kind. It's unparalleled. And I know that it's going to move you the same way
2:00.1	that it moved me.
2:01.4	If someone sent you this podcast and now you're listening to it, first of all, hello,
2:05.6	welcome to RealPod. I'm Victoria. I'm happy you're here. And that probably means that they
2:11.7	want you to live your best freaking life. They want you to be happy. They want you to go for it
2:17.2	and they want you to be full of
2:18.4	joy. If you're a regular listener tuning in, this is one of my favorite episodes of all time.
