| 0:06.0 | Broadcasting from Bel Air, Maryland. This is the Investors Podcast. |
| 0:14.0 | They'll read the books and summarize the lessons. They'll test the waters, tell you what it's called. |

| 0:28.0 | Hey, how's everybody doing out there? This is Preston Pish. I'm your host for the Investors Podcast. |
| 0:33.0 | And as usual, I'm accompanied by my co-host St. Brooderson, out in Denmark. |
| 0:37.0 | And today we've got another book for you and this book is called The Effective Executive. |
| 0:43.0 | And we picked this one up because it was recommended by Jeff Bezos. |
