0:00.0	Welcome to the 1000 Hours Outside Podcast. My name is Ginny Eurich, I'm the founder of
0:04.9	1000 Hours Outside and I'm so thrilled to be sitting here today with Rachel Marie
0:09.2	Kong. Welcome! Hi Jenny, I'm so glad to be here.
0:13.2	I've just recently read Rachel's brand new book called Let There Be Art, The Pleasure and Purpose of
0:19.1	Unleashing the Creativity Within You.
0:21.6	Congratulations, it is so beautiful.
0:25.0	Thanks so much.
0:26.0	We worked really hard on it.
0:28.2	It's so beautiful.
0:29.9	I love it.

1:20.6	Are you excited?
1:21.6	What are you looking forward to?
