  SPEAKER_00: You've got to let go of the need to be perfect and have everything all figured out.
• 1:50
  SPEAKER_00: Just relax, get to work, and know that you are intelligent and you're gonna figure it out as you go along.
• 1:56
  SPEAKER_00: You know, your greatest strength can also be your greatest weakness.
