0:00.0	I'm Kell Newport and this is Deep Question. The show about cultivating a deep life in a distracted world.
0:20.0	So I'm here in my deep work HQ joined as always by my producer Jesse, who I'll have to say
0:31.7	Jesse and I right now are a little bit freaked out just you'll attest this is true
0:36.7	Both of our microphones just fell off of our mic stands
0:41.0	I know they did. Essentially simultaneously. I don't want to say
0:46.0	sabotage but all I got to say is Lexo Friedman I'm looking at you.

1:31.6	pulled out to play for you today in its entirety episode 131
1:38.1	titled Elements of the Deep Life. This aired back in September of 2021. This was right around the one year anniversary of this show starting. We were still sort of dealing with a lot of different sort of pandemic things going on and interestingly it's where you
