0:05.1	seldom exceed your level of personal development. I want to die empty of regret. I want to die
0:10.2	empty of my best work. We don't understand who we are. Instead, we're living out somebody else's narrative.
0:15.8	But one man can do, another man can do. If it's been done, it can be done again.

1:23.1	doing right now where we are not successful will guarantee success.
1:28.1	And Andrew, it's a philosophy that we've been living with since 1996, 21 years now.
1:33.8	You know, everyone says like in the law of attraction, only do what feels good on the way
