00:00:09,476 --> 00:00:10,110

Hey there everybody. 

2

00:00:10,410 --> 00:00:14,280

And welcome to Fearless Thinking, a 

podcast designed to help you navigate

3

00:00:14,581 --> 00:00:16,816

entrepreneurial journey. 

4

00:00:17,50 --> 00:00:18,284

I'm your host, Michael Devous.

5

00:00:18,518 --> 00:00:21,154

And these are my thoughts, lessons and 

insights from my entrepreneurial 

6

00:00:21,788 --> 00:00:25,458

journey into coaching workshops, 

motivational speaking, and of course, 

7

00:00:25,558 --> 00:00:28,828

what I picked up from interviews with 

inspiring leaders and entrepreneurs 

8

00:00:29,529 --> 00:00:30,397

along the way.

9

00:00:31,131 --> 00:00:36,36

My mission is to help people unlock 

their untapped potential by using fear 

10

00:00:36,169 --> 00:00:37,904

as a catalyst for powerful change

11

00:00:38,338 --> 00:00:38,672

and growth,

12

00:00:39,773 --> 00:00:43,510

so they can step into the greatest 

version of their most authentic selves.

13

00:00:44,344 --> 00:00:46,513

All right, let's get into some fearless 

thinking.

14

00:01:04,30 --> 00:01:04,764

Hey, fearless thinkers.

15

00:01:05,65 --> 00:01:09,235

Welcome back to episode 45, the last 

episode of this week that I have that I

16

00:01:09,235 --> 00:01:14,507

am recording in the same shirt at the 

same time, because I recorded all of

17

00:01:14,507 --> 00:01:15,675

them without sound.

18

00:01:17,544 --> 00:01:22,82

As you know, this week, we've been 

exploring resiliency and integrity.

19

00:01:23,616 --> 00:01:25,785

Well, this was the topic I was going to 

talk about anyway. 

20

00:01:25,952 --> 00:01:30,90

But I've been applying my recent 

experiences of being evacuated due to 

21

00:01:30,90 --> 00:01:30,724

forest fires,

22

00:01:32,192 --> 00:01:34,894

because this has created a new mind 

shift for me, in a new set of

23

00:01:36,196 --> 00:01:37,230

that I had not had before. 

24

00:01:37,864 --> 00:01:40,33

Not that I encourage you to get, you 

know, to have. 

25

00:01:40,600 --> 00:01:41,434

Well, to get, you know,

26

00:01:42,168 --> 00:01:43,470

I wouldn't want you to go through a 

crisis,

27

00:01:44,504 --> 00:01:47,307

but it's going to happen at some point 

in your life, and being prepared for 

28

00:01:47,307 --> 00:01:47,507

these things.

29

00:01:49,209 --> 00:01:52,278

Well, I guess you know that we were 

talking about falling to our habits and 

30

00:01:52,278 --> 00:01:52,946

falling to our training.

31

00:01:53,613 --> 00:01:55,48

Remember that as entrepreneurs,

32

00:01:55,715 --> 00:01:59,552

while taking on the additional, use me, 

the additional responsibility of 

33

00:01:59,953 --> 00:02:02,188

bringing your passion and your dream to 

life in the world,

34

00:02:03,790 --> 00:02:06,259

you will be challenged with a lot of 

different fears that you're going to 

35

00:02:06,259 --> 00:02:07,794

ferry while on that road. 

36

00:02:08,28 --> 00:02:09,763

But you will also have new obstacles

37

00:02:10,330 --> 00:02:11,631

because you have invited them.

38

00:02:11,698 --> 00:02:14,668

You have announced to the universe that 

you want to do, have, or become 

39

00:02:15,68 --> 00:02:17,904

something new and different and Greater 

than the current version of yourself.

40

00:02:18,338 --> 00:02:21,107

And as a result, the universe will be 

placing

41

00:02:21,775 --> 00:02:25,912

those golds, gem weights of opportunity 

in front of you so that you can grow

42

00:02:26,579 --> 00:02:29,49

into that version of yourself that you 

said you want to be.

43

00:02:29,949 --> 00:02:34,888

So today, in episode 45 of Fearless 

Thinking, podcasts Mastering Your Inner Fire,

44

00:02:36,189 --> 00:02:38,224

Emotional Resilience In The Face of

45

00:02:38,558 --> 00:02:39,359

Crisis.

46

00:02:40,894 --> 00:02:43,396

I mean, did I have emotional resilience 

in the face of art

47

00:02:44,197 --> 00:02:45,632

I, you know what I think I did. 

48

00:02:45,799 --> 00:02:47,67

I think I did during it. 

49

00:02:47,133 --> 00:02:49,235

It was afterwards that I had my 

breakdown. 

50

00:02:49,636 --> 00:02:51,71

It was afterwards that I kind of crashed

51

00:02:51,371 --> 00:02:52,172

hard,

52

00:02:52,906 --> 00:02:55,375

calling a few friends of mine and 

people that I love to share

53

00:02:55,608 --> 00:02:56,9

with them

54

00:02:57,477 --> 00:02:58,345

my particular struggle. 

55

00:02:58,745 --> 00:03:00,180

It was coming off the face of

56

00:03:01,81 --> 00:03:04,818

bearing and saying goodbye to a very 

dear friend of mine that was like a 

57

00:03:04,818 --> 00:03:05,919

brother to me for thirty years.

58

00:03:06,986 --> 00:03:07,887

And in this crisis. 

59

00:03:08,188 --> 00:03:11,558

So I think I had been holding that 

emotional weight, and that, like

60

00:03:12,659 --> 00:03:17,63

from his death, inside for a while, 

that I had held on to it until I could 

61

00:03:17,63 --> 00:03:17,564

let it go. 

62

00:03:17,630 --> 00:03:17,931

And this

63

00:03:18,64 --> 00:03:18,598

situation

64

00:03:20,33 --> 00:03:21,601

kind of broke that wide open.

65

00:03:21,935 --> 00:03:22,569

So

66

00:03:24,437 --> 00:03:27,841

as we look at and dive into the 

transformative power of emotional

67

00:03:28,174 --> 00:03:29,109

mastery,

68

00:03:31,511 --> 00:03:32,312

drawing

69

00:03:32,512 --> 00:03:34,881

from our own personal experiences,

70

00:03:35,782 --> 00:03:36,483

my own personal

71

00:03:36,750 --> 00:03:38,551

experience with the wildfire evacuation,

72

00:03:39,319 --> 00:03:41,755

I wanted to explore how controlling our 

emotions

73

00:03:42,756 --> 00:03:46,526

can be a really amazing strength during 

challenging times. 

74

00:03:46,659 --> 00:03:50,830

And how do we cultivate right emotional 

resilience to empower us to navigate 

75

00:03:51,231 --> 00:03:51,831

life's storms

76

00:03:52,332 --> 00:03:53,299

with grace and determination?

77

00:03:54,734 --> 00:03:56,436

It's really challenging to control our 

emotions. 

78

00:03:56,836 --> 00:03:57,771

Our emotions are armed up. 

79

00:03:57,771 --> 00:03:58,905

People like you can't control your 

emotions. 

80

00:03:59,72 --> 00:03:59,773

They just pop up. 

81

00:03:59,773 --> 00:04:01,941

Well, hmm, I would argue that.

82

00:04:03,209 --> 00:04:03,677

Yes,

83

00:04:04,277 --> 00:04:07,480

individuals who don't practice the art 

of controlling your emotions, 

84

00:04:07,714 --> 00:04:09,482

individuals who just let their emotions 

fly? 

85

00:04:09,616 --> 00:04:10,183

Yeah, you can. 

86

00:04:10,183 --> 00:04:10,583

You're right. 

87

00:04:10,583 --> 00:04:11,317

You absolutely can't. 

88

00:04:11,384 --> 00:04:11,718

You cannot. 

89

00:04:12,118 --> 00:04:15,221

You cannot control your emotions 

because you don't practice controlling

90

00:04:15,555 --> 00:04:15,855

your emotions. 

91

00:04:16,189 --> 00:04:19,626

In fact, you let your emotions control 

you because that's what you think you 

92

00:04:19,693 --> 00:04:21,561

must do, that's what you think you have 

to do. 

93

00:04:21,628 --> 00:04:25,632

In fact, you abdicate responsibility 

for your life, probably because your 

94

00:04:25,699 --> 00:04:28,268

emotions, you probably say, well, that 

happened because of x, y and z. 

95

00:04:28,335 --> 00:04:31,4

And I was so angry, and they made me 

get angry. 

96

00:04:31,371 --> 00:04:33,73

But I'll bet you money, anybody that 

says,

97

00:04:33,873 --> 00:04:37,377

I can't control our emotions is 

somebody that blames other people for 

98

00:04:37,377 --> 00:04:37,777

how they feel.

99

00:04:39,546 --> 00:04:40,180

Think about that.

100

00:04:40,480 --> 00:04:40,947

Now,

101

00:04:42,415 --> 00:04:44,951

diving into the heart of emotional 

mastery,

102

00:04:45,719 --> 00:04:48,488

we're going to explore some of the 

emotional resilience practices

103

00:04:49,689 --> 00:04:51,358

that can be a lifeline for us

104

00:04:51,958 --> 00:04:54,561

when we face real world crisis.

105

00:04:57,63 --> 00:05:00,33

Actually, rephrase that, not real 

world, everything's real world. 

106

00:05:00,100 --> 00:05:02,602

If it's in your world and it's 

happening to you, whether it's a big, 

107

00:05:02,969 --> 00:05:06,239

whether it's a fire coming over the 

hill, or it's a leaky faucet

108

00:05:06,906 --> 00:05:08,341

getting in the way of you being 

productive. 

109

00:05:08,742 --> 00:05:08,975

Today

110

00:05:09,476 --> 00:05:11,711

it's real world, that's your real world 

crisis. 

111

00:05:12,112 --> 00:05:12,145

Now,

112

00:05:13,79 --> 00:05:16,16

crisis crises can be very different 

depending on

113

00:05:16,349 --> 00:05:19,219

your perspective, what you've learned 

and what you've done and what you've 

114

00:05:19,319 --> 00:05:20,120

experienced in the past.

115

00:05:21,788 --> 00:05:26,259

But these can be a real test of who we 

are in the face of them, right when 

116

00:05:26,259 --> 00:05:26,593

they happen. 

117

00:05:26,826 --> 00:05:28,795

And as my family and I face the 

wildfires

118

00:05:29,696 --> 00:05:30,597

and having to evacuate

119

00:05:31,865 --> 00:05:36,169

the fear of certainty and lose loss of 

control, for me was a real test of my 

120

00:05:36,169 --> 00:05:36,803

emotional resilience.

121

00:05:37,871 --> 00:05:40,974

And in the midst of this chaos, I 

discovered

122

00:05:41,775 --> 00:05:42,242

something powerful.

123

00:05:45,545 --> 00:05:47,480

Our emotions don't have to control us.

124

00:05:47,947 --> 00:05:48,815

This is what I was saying before.

125

00:05:50,250 --> 00:05:54,354

We do have a choice, and there's this 

space between stimulus and response. 

126

00:05:54,821 --> 00:05:55,622

As Victor Frankl

127

00:05:56,756 --> 00:05:57,590

so eloquently put

128

00:05:57,791 --> 00:06:00,794

it, the space between stimulus and 

response

129

00:06:02,195 --> 00:06:03,663

lies our power.

130

00:06:04,264 --> 00:06:07,167

So in the space between the moment, 

something happens. 

131

00:06:07,300 --> 00:06:08,335

In our reaction to it

132

00:06:08,968 --> 00:06:12,972

lies our power, our authority, our 

ability to make a decision.

133

00:06:13,873 --> 00:06:14,574

And I realized,

134

00:06:15,542 --> 00:06:16,176

even though my anxiety

135

00:06:17,210 --> 00:06:19,212

was skyrocketing, and I got help

136

00:06:19,713 --> 00:06:21,848

for that, by the way, I went to my 

doctor to get help for it. 

137

00:06:21,848 --> 00:06:24,17

So if you need help, but please see 

your doctor, talked to a therapist, 

138

00:06:24,351 --> 00:06:24,818

talk to a friend.

139

00:06:25,385 --> 00:06:26,119

It's a real thing. 

140

00:06:26,186 --> 00:06:26,920

Anxiety's real. 

141

00:06:26,986 --> 00:06:28,755

And you can do things to take care of 

it and help you

142

00:06:30,757 --> 00:06:31,391

navigate it,

143

00:06:31,858 --> 00:06:33,159

so you don't have to do it alone. 

144

00:06:33,460 --> 00:06:35,395

And there are some wonderful mads out 

there that just help,

145

00:06:36,496 --> 00:06:36,896

take that,

146

00:06:38,198 --> 00:06:39,532

turn the volume down

147

00:06:40,266 --> 00:06:43,803

on the anxiety, so that you can move 

forward to get work done. 

148

00:06:45,138 --> 00:06:46,72

I realized at that moment,

149

00:06:47,240 --> 00:06:50,110

well, in the midst of it, I had an 

ability to choose my response. 

150

00:06:50,744 --> 00:06:53,279

You know, I could let fear consume me,

151

00:06:54,514 --> 00:06:58,251

or I could use this as fuel to take 

action and protect my family.

152

00:06:58,818 --> 00:07:00,353

And I am one of those individuals. 

153

00:07:00,754 --> 00:07:03,957

I don't know if you are, but when 

crisis happens, a car wreck, somebody 

154

00:07:04,24 --> 00:07:06,192

has an accident, somebody's bleeding 

out, whatever it is. 

155

00:07:06,259 --> 00:07:10,897

I am the one to be down there on the 

ground, knees on in the dirt, holding 

156

00:07:11,131 --> 00:07:14,601

their bloody, whatever, get it, putting 

a tourniquet on it, helping them out, 

157

00:07:14,601 --> 00:07:16,336

doing cpr, breathing them through it. 

158

00:07:16,436 --> 00:07:17,904

Whatever it is, I'm that person.

159

00:07:18,905 --> 00:07:21,541

I don't take care of me and my emotions 

until afterwards. 

160

00:07:22,175 --> 00:07:25,378

I'm not one of those persons to stand 

back and use my phone to record the 

161

00:07:25,378 --> 00:07:25,545

situation. 

162

00:07:25,945 --> 00:07:27,547

I do not understand how people can do

163

00:07:28,815 --> 00:07:31,484

I guess we need those individuals, 

because then they can capture what's 

164

00:07:31,551 --> 00:07:32,18

taking place. 

165

00:07:33,219 --> 00:07:35,789

my first thought is, not, let me get my 

phone out and capture this. 

166

00:07:35,789 --> 00:07:37,590

My first thought is jump in and help.

167

00:07:39,359 --> 00:07:40,26

Because

168

00:07:41,227 --> 00:07:43,196

there's limited time to make a 

difference

169

00:07:43,863 --> 00:07:45,432

in situations like that.

170

00:07:46,32 --> 00:07:48,268

And I'm not a sideliner, you know, no, 

man, I don't sit there. 

171

00:07:48,268 --> 00:07:49,869

I get in there and get in the dirt, get 

in the blood,

172

00:07:52,38 --> 00:07:53,273

help in the moment of crisis.

173

00:07:53,606 --> 00:07:54,574

And

174

00:07:55,308 --> 00:07:58,678

I was doing that for my family here, 

where I was running around, running 

175

00:07:58,912 --> 00:08:01,448

hundreds and hundreds of feet of hose,

176

00:08:02,649 --> 00:08:06,820

raking up debris, trying to get it out 

of the way, creating a waterline at the 

177

00:08:06,820 --> 00:08:08,788

back of the property between us and the 

fire,

178

00:08:10,423 --> 00:08:13,159

making sure things were packed and 

loaded and shut off and dotted on, 

179

00:08:13,159 --> 00:08:14,761

moving gas cans and what have you. 

180

00:08:14,761 --> 00:08:14,894

You know,

181

00:08:16,329 --> 00:08:18,865

my parents, who are both slightly aging,

182

00:08:20,266 --> 00:08:23,536

couldn't move as fast as me, couldn't 

get things done as quick as I can.

183

00:08:24,170 --> 00:08:28,208

And so I felt responsible for making 

sure that that stuff happened, so that 

184

00:08:28,274 --> 00:08:29,476

they didn't have to freak out. 

185

00:08:29,476 --> 00:08:31,878

They could concentrate on getting their 

belongings together and get their 

186

00:08:31,878 --> 00:08:35,849

things ready so that we could get out 

of here when the time came.

187

00:08:36,149 --> 00:08:36,950

And

188

00:08:37,851 --> 00:08:38,385

the essence

189

00:08:38,718 --> 00:08:39,519

of,

190

00:08:40,20 --> 00:08:44,324

I guess, emotional mastery, which is, 

it's not about suppressing our emotions,

191

00:08:46,259 --> 00:08:47,994

which I've known people who do that, I 

understand.

192

00:08:51,64 --> 00:08:52,832

I understand the desire to do that. 

193

00:08:52,899 --> 00:08:53,867

I really just don't think that's

194

00:08:55,135 --> 00:08:57,370

to say that they suppress them, feels 

like, I guess.

195

00:08:58,505 --> 00:08:59,372

I just don't think you can.

196

00:09:00,40 --> 00:09:02,742

I think your emotions are always going 

to find a way to surface. 

197

00:09:03,209 --> 00:09:06,813

And for people who constantly suppress 

them, it becomes toxic and it suppresses,

198

00:09:08,348 --> 00:09:08,648

it

199

00:09:08,948 --> 00:09:09,315

appears

200

00:09:10,350 --> 00:09:10,984

as toxicity. 

201

00:09:11,785 --> 00:09:12,786

It comes up as

202

00:09:13,253 --> 00:09:14,387

infections,

203

00:09:15,355 --> 00:09:16,322

sickness,

204

00:09:17,691 --> 00:09:20,160

high blood pressure, emotional

205

00:09:21,294 --> 00:09:21,561

disturbances,

206

00:09:23,63 --> 00:09:24,264

instability, those things. 

207

00:09:24,831 --> 00:09:27,634

So even though you think you're 

suppressing it, you're really not doing 

208

00:09:27,801 --> 00:09:30,236

anything but forcing it to come out in 

other ways,

209

00:09:31,871 --> 00:09:35,475

I believe you need to understand your 

emotions enough to accept them and then

210

00:09:35,542 --> 00:09:39,479

choose how to respond to them by 

suggesting and saying, hey, "time and a

211

00:09:39,479 --> 00:09:39,679

the place."

212

00:09:40,280 --> 00:09:42,749

We need to get this and focus on these 

things currently in front of us. 

213

00:09:42,749 --> 00:09:44,351

I'm going to put you on the sideline 

over here. 

214

00:09:44,351 --> 00:09:46,186

You guys get in the back seat, packed 

with things. 

215

00:09:46,519 --> 00:09:47,954

We've got to take care of some stuff. 

216

00:09:48,188 --> 00:09:49,55

I'll get back to you. 

217

00:09:49,155 --> 00:09:49,723

In a little bit. 

218

00:09:50,23 --> 00:09:50,824

You're going to be good. 

219

00:09:50,890 --> 00:09:51,624

We're going to be ok. 

220

00:09:51,858 --> 00:09:52,258

I got this.

221

00:09:53,293 --> 00:09:53,793

Emotional regulation

222

00:09:54,994 --> 00:09:56,596

is a skill just like any other. 

223

00:09:57,63 --> 00:09:58,64

And it takes practice

224

00:09:58,998 --> 00:10:01,167

and patience and willingness to 

actually learn this. 

225

00:10:01,234 --> 00:10:03,136

And the reward doing so are 

immeasurable. 

226

00:10:03,770 --> 00:10:08,274

Unfortunately, in order to practice 

these things, you kind'a have to be in

227

00:10:08,341 --> 00:10:09,242

situations of crisis. 

228

00:10:09,943 --> 00:10:14,247

You kind'a have to be in situations of 

overwhelm and obstacles in front of you.

229

00:10:15,615 --> 00:10:16,416

It's like my stepdad

230

00:10:16,649 --> 00:10:19,886

always said, you know, you can't 

practice being in a relationship unless

231

00:10:20,120 --> 00:10:20,954

you're in a relationship.

232

00:10:21,554 --> 00:10:22,655

Like you have to...

233

00:10:22,989 --> 00:10:24,424

You actually have to do the thing. 

234

00:10:24,824 --> 00:10:30,597

You can't practice walking on shards of 

glass unless you've walked on shards of

235

00:10:30,597 --> 00:10:30,764

glass. 

236

00:10:30,997 --> 00:10:34,234

It comes with all the risk inherent in 

the experience.

237

00:10:34,734 --> 00:10:35,368

But

238

00:10:36,670 --> 00:10:39,639

if you go into it understanding that 

you have the ability to make a choice 

239

00:10:39,773 --> 00:10:43,877

in the midst of these crises, and you 

can speak to your emotions and talk to 

240

00:10:43,943 --> 00:10:47,547

those parts of yourself and calm them 

down and say, I'll get back to you.

241

00:10:47,614 --> 00:10:48,915

We need to address this immediately. 

242

00:10:49,382 --> 00:10:50,917

We need to focus on these things in 

front of

243

00:10:51,51 --> 00:10:51,217

us. 

244

00:10:51,384 --> 00:10:52,285

Please take a seat. 

245

00:10:52,419 --> 00:10:53,753

I'll be right with you.

246

00:10:55,221 --> 00:10:57,857

H, I'm sorry fear, you didn't have an 

appointment day. 

247

00:10:57,857 --> 00:10:59,559

You're going to have to take a number. 

248

00:11:00,260 --> 00:11:01,294

I'll get back to you in a minute.

249

00:11:02,28 --> 00:11:03,63

When we master our emotions,

250

00:11:04,197 --> 00:11:08,601

we become more resilient and adaptable 

and better equipped to handle life's 

251

00:11:08,835 --> 00:11:09,2

challenges. 

252

00:11:09,769 --> 00:11:13,139

As a result, by the way, we can become 

better leaders, partners, friends and

253

00:11:13,540 --> 00:11:15,41

human beings all the way around.

254

00:11:17,877 --> 00:11:20,580

As I close out this week talking about 

these things I've talked about, the

255

00:11:20,580 --> 00:11:23,950

Ascend Hub. I'm still talking about the Ascend Hub 

I'm very proud of this launch.

256

00:11:24,17 --> 00:11:25,218

I'm very proud of this online community

257

00:11:26,252 --> 00:11:29,289

where we bring together aspiring 

entrepreneurs, mentors and leaders and 

258

00:11:29,289 --> 00:11:33,159

executives to help one another along 

our journey to find the resources, the 

259

00:11:33,159 --> 00:11:34,227

coaching, the workshops

260

00:11:34,761 --> 00:11:36,996

and the support we need to be hugely 

successful. 

261

00:11:37,530 --> 00:11:42,235

And one of those things is building our 

own resilience and mastering our emotional,

262

00:11:42,902 --> 00:11:43,370

our emotions

263

00:11:44,738 --> 00:11:45,138

as leaders. 

264

00:11:45,538 --> 00:11:47,73

And I think there are ways that we can 

do that. 

265

00:11:47,73 --> 00:11:50,910

At the Ascend Hub, I feel like we can 

create a community built to helping us

266

00:11:50,910 --> 00:11:52,312

develop these essential skill

267

00:11:53,480 --> 00:11:53,713

to overcome

268

00:11:54,748 --> 00:11:55,949

those things that we need to overcome. 

269

00:11:56,349 --> 00:11:59,486

But together, offering a supportive 

community with personalized guidance,

270

00:11:59,786 --> 00:12:02,889

expert lead resources to empower us on 

our

271

00:12:04,257 --> 00:12:06,226

journey to emotional mastery

272

00:12:07,160 --> 00:12:08,161

and on our journey to success

273

00:12:09,62 --> 00:12:10,563

professionally and personally.

274

00:12:11,131 --> 00:12:14,334

So if you're feeling overwhelmed and 

you're feeling burned out, and you're 

275

00:12:14,334 --> 00:12:16,569

feeling like your emotions are 

controlled, and you remember you do 

276

00:12:16,569 --> 00:12:19,72

have the power within you to change 

that. 

277

00:12:19,239 --> 00:12:23,343

It does start with recognizing that 

your emotions are understanding your triggers

278

00:12:24,577 --> 00:12:26,546

and choosing that response between

279

00:12:26,980 --> 00:12:28,481

action and reaction.

280

00:12:29,716 --> 00:12:31,151

The power lies in that moment. 

281

00:12:31,718 --> 00:12:34,821

And that serves you and serves 

everybody that you love.

282

00:12:36,189 --> 00:12:37,590

Understand that this is practice.

283

00:12:38,191 --> 00:12:38,925

You can do it. 

284

00:12:39,159 --> 00:12:41,227

If you need help, please feel free to 

reach out.

285

00:12:41,394 --> 00:12:42,195

the other side, do some feelings 

294

incredible,

incredible weekend

296

love on your loved ones, love on 

yourself.

297

00:13:06,19 --> 00:13:06,553

And remember,

298

00:13:08,254 --> 00:13:08,788

think fearlessly.

299

00:13:09,122 --> 00:13:09,589

Ok, Bye!
