In this episode, we talk about lessons we learned and changes we're making, we introduce the concept of the Second Summit Crew, we describe why we think you should listen, and end with Dan and Alan introducing each other to you.

Dan and Al talk on time management with a little extra behind the scenes discussion before we get into it!

People ask a lot about how to stay motivated. A popular response to that question is that you don't need motivation, all you need is discipline. This episode, Dan and Alan talk about their thoughts on that outlook.
