## Resource

In this stage, Johnny addresses a guy four months saved whose wife thinks "we're not good people" is negative self-talk - and breaks down exactly why leading with that kills the conversation before it starts. He also talks about hitting 100 million views in a month and why his first instinct was to be careful, the mean DMV lady who turned out to be the whole lesson, and why hypocrites (NOT serial killers) are the ones God names by name.
