0:00.0	Welcome to It's a Good Life, where it's all about helping entrepreneurs think, feel, and do better.
0:09.4	Today we have a special treat for you, Brian, live on stage from a recent event.
0:14.7	Let's listen in.
0:26.8	You know, for 7,000 years, the most read book in the history of the world is the scriptures.
