00:00It's like the gym. How many plates do you want to put on? And are you willing to learn different

00:04exercises? Or are you just going to sit on the flying machine and camp out there? Come on,

00:07give me a break. And I see people's wasted potential. And then I also see people that

00:12come to me saying that they read something, heard something, or they, I got this one kid

00:16that writes 15 vocabulary words a day, and it's all across the board, like bewildered. I'm like,

00:55own food. They'll know if it's good and it's up to them. I just make the face like, you know,

01:00you did too much salt, you burnt it. And, um, but for me, I love rhetoric. I think a really good

01:08delivery hits. Most people are so concerned about a body and a conclusion of a call, but if you don't

01:15land an introduction, you have no spark, no fire, nothing.
