The one that sort of comes to mind is one that with my father, we're very close.
4:50
And for a period of time before I stepped into a stage here, I worked with him.

10:15
So I did eventually.

But a lot, a lot of entrepreneurs aren't aware of that, so can you please explain that and how, how it works and how, why we, we s- stay stuck?
3:07
Well, uh, I will tell you that one of the...
3:10
Well, first of all, thank you again, thank you again for having us on.
