0:05.6 | And this has been one of the most surreal things about my experience as an entrepreneur. |
0:11.2 | Is that the better I get at it, the more that I do, the more I feel lost, the more I feel like |
0:17.0 | there's too much for me to possibly know and understand. And in that is my power. |
0:22.6 | That's literally the source of my power because I understand that my journey is one of learning. |
