- 23:28of
- 23:28the
- 23:28travel.
- 23:28And
- 23:29so
- 23:29you
- 23:29have
- 23:29to
- 23:29factor
- 23:30that
- 23:30in
- 23:30when
- 23:30you're
- 23:31planning
- 23:31what
- 23:31you're
- 23:31going
- 23:31to
- 23:32go

- 23:32listen
- 23:32to
- 23:33and
- 23:33who
- 23:33you're
- 23:33going
- 23:33to
- 23:33go
- 23:33and
- 23:34listen
- 23:34to.
- 23:34That's
- 23:34really
- 23:35important.
- 23:35So
- 23:36I
- 23:36went
- 23:36to
- 23:36some
- 23:36general
- 23:37talk.
- 23:37There
- 23:38wasn't
- 23:38any
- 23:38talk
- 23:39I
- 23:39went
- 23:39to,
- 23:40but
- 23:40I
- 23:40thought,
- 23:40it's
- 23:41of
- 23:41no
- 23:41use
- 23:42to
- 23:42me.
- 23:42They
- 23:42were
- 23:42all
- 23:43really
- 23:43useful.
- 23:44And
- 23:44sometimes
- 23:45when
- 23:45the
- 23:46speaker
- 23:46started
- 23:46I
- 23:46thought,
- 23:47oh,
- 23:47I'm
- 23:47not
- 23:47sure
- 23:47this
- 23:47is
- 23:47right
- 23:48for
- 23:48me.
- 23:48I
- 23:48don't
- 23:48really
- 23:49warm
- 23:49to
- 23:49this
- 23:49speaker.
- 23:50But
- 23:50within
- 23:50a
- 23:50couple
- 23:51of
- 23:51minutes
- 23:51they'd
- 23:51always
- 23:52won
- 23:52me
- 23:52over
- 23:52and
- 23:53there
- 23:53were
- 23:53some
- 23:53that
- 23:53were
- 23:53hilarious.
- 23:54So
- 23:55obviously,

- 49:19which
- 49:19is
- 49:20really
- 49:20holistic
- 49:21and
- 49:21overriding.
- 49:22And

- 49:22the
- 49:22surface,
- 49:23it's
- 49:23really
- 49:23simple,
- 49:23but

- 49:29first
- 49:29started
- 49:29out,
- 49:30I
- 49:30didn't
- 49:30know
- 49:30anything
- 49:31about.
- 49:31I
- 49:32knew
- 49:32I
- 49:32had
- 49:32been
- 49:33trained
- 49:33well
- 49:33even
- 49:33before
- 49:34I

- 49:34training.
- 49:35It
- 49:35was,
- 49:35where
- 49:35is
- 49:35this
- 49:36going?
- 49:36What's

- 49:37How
- 49:37do
- 49:37I
- 49:38manage
- 49:38this?
- 49:38And
- 49:38then
- 49:39obviously
- 49:39learning
- 49:39about
- 49:40business,
- 49:40Business.
- 49:40If
- 49:40I'd
- 49:41have
- 49:41known
- 49:41it
- 49:41was
- 49:41going
- 49:42to
- 49:42turn
- 49:42out
- 49:42as
- 49:42well
- 49:42as
- 49:42it
- 49:43has,
- 49:43and
- 49:43trust
- 49:43me,
- 49:44it
- 49:44could
- 49:44be
- 49:44better,
- 49:44but
- 49:44relatively,
- 49:45it's
- 49:45good,
- 49:46I
- 49:46would
- 49:46have
- 49:46been
- 49:47braver.
- 49:47I
- 49:48mean,
- 49:48I'm
- 49:48brave
- 49:49now
- 49:49because
- 49:49of
- 49:50it,
- 49:50but
- 49:50I
- 49:50would
- 49:50have
- 49:51been
- 49:51braver.
- 49:51I
- 49:51would
- 49:52have
- 49:52put
- 49:52myself
- 49:52out
- 49:52there
- 49:53more
- 49:53much
- 49:53earlier
- 49:54on,
- 49:54and
- 49:54that
- 49:55would
- 49:55have
- 49:55been
- 49:55better.
- 49:56But,
- 49:56you
- 49:56know,
- 49:56it's
- 49:57all
- 49:57part
- 49:57of
- 49:57the
- 49:57process.
- 49:58And
- 49:58I.
- 49:58I
- 49:59found
- 49:59this
- 49:59quote,
- 50:00so
- 50:00normalize
- 50:01standing
- 50:02in
- 50:02awe
- 50:02of
- 50:03possibility
- 50:03instead
- 50:04of
- 50:04in
- 50:04fear
- 50:05of
- 50:05uncertainty.
- 50:06That's
- 50:06fantastic.
- 50:07And
- 50:07when
- 50:07I
- 50:07first
- 50:07started
- 50:08out,
- 50:08that
- 50:08was
- 50:08it,
- 50:09the
- 50:09fear
- 50:09of
- 50:10uncertainty.
- 50:11I
- 50:11was
- 50:11standing
- 50:11in
- 50:11the
- 50:12fear
- 50:12of
- 50:12uncertainty
- 50:13rather
- 50:14than
- 50:14I
- 50:14should
- 50:15have
- 50:15been
- 50:15standing
- 50:15in
- 50:16the
- 50:16aura
- 50:16of
- 50:16possibility.
- 50:17And
- 50:17that's
- 50:18exactly
- 50:18it.
- 50:18Because
- 50:19if
- 50:19I'd
- 50:19have
- 50:19thought,
- 50:19yeah,
- 50:19this
