| 0:00.0 | We have a refreshing episode this week on What's the Juice. |
| 0:08.2 | I did not expect this conversation to even go as beautifully as it did. |
| 0:15.0 | I knew that it was going to be a very interesting subject matter because we're talking |
| 0:18.8 | about something that's so important for so many of us listening, |

| 1:27.9 | a cog in the machine and you're not finding a lot of fulfillment outside of your work or you're |
| 1:34.9 | finding yourself like working as a coping mechanism or sitting there on your computer late at night |
