everybody so i really can help
00:21
any type of person when people who are
00:23
trying to hire us
00:24
they’re usually going through a hard
00:25
time with very rare exceptions
00:27
and there’s a lot of emotional issues
00:29
that come into play
00:31
there’s some insecurities about what the
00:33
future may hold
00:34
sometimes financial insecurities and i’m
00:38
able to help this person get through
00:40
this
00:40
period of time of course there’s
00:42
limitations on what i can and can’t
00:43
accomplish
00:44
but i very much can help people get
00:47
through this
00:48
