4
00:00:26,310 --> 00:00:22,160
taking those ideas

00:00:31,349 --> 00:00:29,119

for a while

26
00:01:20,230 --> 00:01:17,439
and folks that had their web ted's

27
00:01:22,310 --> 00:01:20,240
mobile were able to enter their time

28
00:01:23,429 --> 00:01:22,320
even though we didn't have that power i

29
00:01:26,149 --> 00:01:23,439

44
00:02:03,749 --> 00:02:00,240
inspired me were my mom and sisters

00:02:19,589 --> 00:02:16,640
a few ladies were promoted and i had the

50
00:02:22,309 --> 00:02:19,599
opportunity to work for a couple of them

51
00:02:23,510 --> 00:02:22,319
both learning how to be a manager and

52
00:02:28,229 --> 00:02:23,520
how to

53
00:02:29,670 --> 00:02:28,239
write those contracts a little better

00:02:31,750 --> 00:02:29,680
over the course of my career i've had

55
00:02:33,110 --> 00:02:31,760

56
00:02:35,990 --> 00:02:33,120
hard work

57
00:02:38,229 --> 00:02:36,000
some have been exciting opportunities

58
00:02:40,550 --> 00:02:38,239
like getting to see a launch and getting

59
00:02:42,150 --> 00:02:40,560
to see a launch with hardware that you

60
00:02:44,309 --> 00:02:42,160
bought

61
00:02:47,509 --> 00:02:44,319
with your mom

62
00:02:49,430 --> 00:02:47,519
that's pretty exciting

63
00:02:51,830 --> 00:02:49,440

64
00:02:54,869 --> 00:02:51,840
