0:00.0 | We've all heard this before. Most people quit when you're totally into a project and you are grinding through it or you're making your phone calls for 90 minutes. Most people quit right before the good thing happens. I was talking to my friend, my driver last night, Jose, he owns a driving company, he's not my actual driver. |
0:21.6 | And we were chatting about the fact that he's about to go run a marathon, and he just completed |

1:42.3 | You know what it was, Tom? |
1:45.9 | The first three and a half years, it was easy. |
