| 0:00.0 | Welcome to It's a Good Life podcast. Today we've got an Ask Me Anything Special |
| 0:10.0 | where Brian and head coach Dave McGee dig into your burning questions. |
| 0:14.0 | Here's our head of community Derek Jones to get a start. |
| 0:18.0 | Our first question comes from a good friend, long time member here up in our neighbors to the north up in Canada. |
| 0:29.0 | We got Carol Fodrick on the show here and she's got a question for you so Carol good to see you and go ahead with your question. |
| 0:37.0 | Hey Carol. |
| 0:38.0 | Hey Dave, hey Brian, okay so my question is on behalf of the leadership coaching members on this call |

| 1:37.0 | So I'd love to hear your perspectives. |
| 1:39.0 | Well, I definitely can speak to this. |
| 1:41.0 | Here's my encouragement to you you it's hard to be an |
| 1:44.2 | encourager when you're not encouraged yourself so the first order of |
| 1:49.1 | business is yourself so for me for example the epiphany I had is it was multiple epiphanies that I had to get me to this place. You know, we had had a record run up just like many people had through 2022 and we started to see the early |
