Hello, everybody. This is Jake Sonsdale.

0:09.1

Host of the Jake and Gino podcast here with my co-host, the multi-family mentor, the coach,

0:12.4

Chef, the Father Sixth, bestselling author, The G-Dade. Gino Barbar, Gene, how's it going?

0:16.3

Jake, I'm doing good today. How you doing, bro?

0:18.2

Always making it happen, big man. In the new studio, we're working at the kinks. But we're also very honored that our guest decided to come back

0:25.2

for a second round. He is the author of the War of Art and Turning Pro, or as Gino likes to call it,

0:30.7

Casamiento, the rice and beans of overcoming resistance to live a creative and productive life. So what further ado, Stephen Pressfield,

0:38.2

welcome back. Hey, it's great to be here, Jake and Gino. So I've got another food analogy for you,

journey, it's just they're not hard to read, but they're so in depth. And it really gets into

1:20.6
