| 0:00.0 | Hi, it's Robin Sharma. Welcome to the Mastery Sessions. |
| 0:05.0 | Hi, it's Robin Sharma, author of the leader who had no title, founder of the Titan Academy. |
| 0:10.0 | And I'm so happy that you're here with me on this master session because this one is all about four life lessons from Rome. |
| 0:18.0 | And I'm going to get personal here because a number of months ago I went to one of my favorite cities on the planet which is Rome. |

| 1:24.0 | And it was something about Italian quality and it talked about Ferrari, |
| 1:30.0 | it talked about the Italian coffee makers, |
| 1:33.3 | it talked about the great Italian chefs, |
| 1:36.2 | it talked about the great Italian footwear, |
| 1:39.9 | but the point is simply this, |
| 1:41.4 | as I went through the pages of this coffee table book, |
| 1:44.5 | it really occurred to me that one of the things that makes Italy great |
| 1:49.5 | is their devotion to world-class quality in a world where there's such a dilution of quality. |
