What if the strongest marketing plan is actually your identity? We sit down with Dr. Toccara Nicole—author, publisher, and the Identity Architect—to unpack how a rooted sense of self transforms your writing, your leadership, and your ability to build a platform that lasts. From the first spark in a co-author project to a book that became a lifeline for people in transition, she shows how clarity at the core shapes every chapter and every choice.
We explore the blueprint behind her work at VOS Consulting and Publishing International, where foundation comes first. Dr. Toccara explains why authors become entrepreneurs by default, how to “monetize your genius” without gimmicks, and what it really takes to position a book readers want to buy. You’ll learn her MEET framework—mindset, environment, energy, and time—and how these four gears turn together to move you from concept to published. We also dig into practical tools for beating fear: start with journaling, reframe unhelpful voices, and commit to sharing your story even when it feels vulnerable.
Beyond the page, we talk about women’s unity, leadership scars that became strengths, and the collaborative energy behind her show Vault Talks. The message ties it all together: knowing who you are is a game-changer, the formula for changing your own game before you change anyone else’s. If you’ve been sitting on a story, a book idea, or the next right step in your business, this conversation gives you a clear path to move forward with purpose.

00:02:35.120 --> 00:02:38.240
And I'm gonna say, listen, you see her shirt there, Chicago?
00:02:38.479 --> 00:02:40.319
Hey, we from Chi Town.
00:02:40.479 --> 00:02:42.159
All right, welcome, Chi Town Girl.
00:02:42.400 --> 00:02:43.680
Say hello to the audience.
00:02:44.319 --> 00:02:45.360
Hello, everyone.
00:02:45.680 --> 00:02:47.439
It's an honor to be here.
00:02:47.759 --> 00:02:48.560
Yes, definitely.
00:02:48.639 --> 00:02:51.680
And I'm just honored to have one of my sister girls from Chicago here.
00:02:51.840 --> 00:02:55.599
But you know, I'm glad I'm in Atlanta because I don't miss that snow.
00:02:55.680 --> 00:02:58.080
I'm missing living in Omaha, Nebraska.
00:02:58.319 --> 00:03:02.800
People are like, Oh, if you live in Omaha, you should be good because Chicago and the snow.
00:03:02.879 --> 00:03:04.960
And I'm like, it's a little different living in Omaha.
00:03:05.120 --> 00:03:06.240
Omaha is not flat.
00:03:06.400 --> 00:03:07.680
We have hills and all the things.
00:03:07.840 --> 00:03:09.919
Yeah, because the flatness actually brings tornadoes.
00:03:10.000 --> 00:03:13.199
So my first experience was tornadoes is living in Chicago.
00:03:13.360 --> 00:03:15.680
But when I moved to Atlanta, I'm gonna tell you real quick.
00:03:15.840 --> 00:03:23.360
I moved to Atlanta, and I first tornado, and when I moved here, I said, wait a minute now, y'all didn't tell me you had tornadoes.
00:03:23.439 --> 00:03:31.840
I know we had hurricanes in New Jersey, but tornado, girl, I experienced that tornado in my front yard where it actually chopped down the big old oak tree in my front yard.
00:03:31.919 --> 00:03:33.360
And we live in a cuddle sack.
00:03:33.439 --> 00:03:35.919
So I had to tell God, okay, Lord, please protect us here.
00:03:36.000 --> 00:03:38.400
I'm like, but I thought I moved away from this kind of stuff.
00:03:40.800 --> 00:03:45.280
The weather is different, and every no matter where you are now, it's a totally different thing here.
00:03:45.360 --> 00:03:46.319
So just get used to it.
00:03:46.479 --> 00:03:50.400
So listen, let me get this show on the road because I want to start getting my interview questions in here.
00:03:50.479 --> 00:03:51.840
I need to hear more about Dr.
00:03:53.120 --> 00:03:53.520
So, Dr.
00:03:53.759 --> 00:03:56.000
Car, you've been called the Identity Architect.
00:03:56.240 --> 00:03:59.439
Can you share how the name came about and what it means to you?
00:03:59.759 --> 00:04:00.400
Absolutely.
00:04:00.639 --> 00:04:05.759
When I was coaching with a former coach of mine, she called me the identity coach.
00:04:06.080 --> 00:04:10.960
And it was interesting because I never saw myself as the identity coach.
00:04:11.120 --> 00:04:15.120
Then I had another coach, and he called me the identity coach.
00:04:15.439 --> 00:04:20.480
And it wasn't until he and I started working together that I started to own it.
00:04:20.800 --> 00:04:24.959
And I remember the day when I was like, okay, identity coach.
00:04:25.279 --> 00:04:28.319
And I was in a friend of mine's house.
00:04:28.480 --> 00:04:35.199
And like when you actually say something and you catch yourself saying it at that time, it's out now.
00:04:35.360 --> 00:04:36.560
You can't take it back.
00:04:36.720 --> 00:04:38.800
I remember embracing that term.
00:04:39.199 --> 00:04:43.120
Fast forward, God showed me how I was the identity architect.
00:04:43.360 --> 00:04:47.759
Sometimes you have to walk in one title to really evolve into the next place.
00:04:48.079 --> 00:04:51.759
You can embrace that one place as God is expanding your territory.
00:04:51.920 --> 00:04:57.839
When I took on the role of identity architect that said, okay, God, I need you to show me what this really looks like.
00:04:58.079 --> 00:05:05.360
So fast-forwarding the story, he showed me that I had been in the student housing development field for a little bit.
00:05:05.519 --> 00:05:09.839
And he showed me how I knew some things about construction.
00:05:10.319 --> 00:05:18.959
If it has to be at least 32 degrees for y'all to be able to lay the concrete in order to build the foundation for this apartment complex.
00:05:19.040 --> 00:05:27.040
And if it's not, then you're gonna have to redo the concrete pad because you have to build up and you can't build up if it's cracked in the foundation.
00:05:27.279 --> 00:05:28.639
It's like, yeah, I get that.
00:05:28.800 --> 00:05:42.480
That's how I want you to work with your people to understand that as the identity architect, you help them see the blueprint and mold and shape who they are so you can help them at the foundation so they can build and expand and explode.
00:05:43.680 --> 00:05:44.160
Wow.
00:05:45.360 --> 00:05:49.920
A part of my gift set as a believer is that I can see and hear.
00:05:50.079 --> 00:05:56.000
And when I'm working with people, I share all of that while we're building as a faith-based believer.
00:05:56.079 --> 00:06:10.000
It's that moment with your customer client because you're literally hearing from God to help them mold and shape their identity as that business person or as that author or as that visionary.
00:06:10.240 --> 00:06:13.360
And so what I learned was that was my gift set.
00:06:13.519 --> 00:06:19.759
I remember hearing the words being prophesied to me years prior that I would be a marketplace minister.
00:06:19.920 --> 00:06:24.399
And I was like, I ain't standing in nobody's pulpit, I ain't trying to be nobody's minister.
00:06:25.199 --> 00:06:39.920
And so, as I started really studying, understanding what a marketplace minister is, the identity architect and all that comes with that helps people to understand who they are in the marketplace so they can minister through their books and their businesses and their concepts.
00:06:40.079 --> 00:06:42.800
So that's how the identity architect came to be about.
00:06:43.040 --> 00:06:43.600
I love it.
00:06:43.680 --> 00:06:44.560
And really, you know what?
00:06:44.639 --> 00:06:46.000
I tell you, the same thing with me.
00:06:46.079 --> 00:06:48.079
Guy, he has a sense of humor sometimes, doesn't he?
00:06:48.240 --> 00:06:49.279
Oh, yeah.
00:06:50.000 --> 00:06:51.839
I said I would never write a book.
00:06:52.000 --> 00:07:00.560
I love how you just put that in a nutshell, that architect, and as far as how you build it from the from the underneath to the outside to the upper parts.
00:07:00.720 --> 00:07:02.240
I love how you just put that in there.
00:07:02.319 --> 00:07:03.519
So thank you for sharing that.
00:07:03.759 --> 00:07:04.720
Absolutely.
00:07:05.040 --> 00:07:10.079
What role did writing your first books play in shaping your identity as an author and an entrepreneur?
00:07:10.399 --> 00:07:11.120
Absolutely.
00:07:11.600 --> 00:07:27.040
I was a part of a co-author book project, which I tell anybody if you're looking to get your feet wet as an author, go ahead and be a part of a co-author book project because it definitely shows you what you're made of in ways that you may or may not be ready for.
00:07:27.279 --> 00:07:35.040
So I was a part of a co-author book project, and I remember the editor coming back to me and saying, Wow, Takara, your project is amazing.
00:07:35.120 --> 00:07:36.720
Like this chapter is so good.
00:07:36.879 --> 00:07:38.800
How long did it take for you to write it?
00:07:39.040 --> 00:07:40.079
And I laughed.
00:07:40.240 --> 00:07:41.759
And she was like, Why are you laughing at me?
00:07:41.920 --> 00:07:44.079
I was like, because it took about 72 hours to write.
00:07:44.319 --> 00:07:46.319
And she's like, For real?
00:07:46.480 --> 00:07:49.120
I said, Yeah, this is like one of the best chapters in the book.
00:07:49.279 --> 00:07:53.600
So it recalibrated my experience with being a writer.
00:07:53.759 --> 00:07:56.399
As an only child, I spent a lot of time by myself.
00:07:56.639 --> 00:08:08.319
My mom would send me on punishment and I'd be mad at her as a seven-year-old and writing my diary that I thought locked because it has a couple of keys, but it really don't lock those diaries.
00:08:09.759 --> 00:08:13.040
I would start writing about what my mom did to me.
00:08:13.199 --> 00:08:16.240
And then it would start turning into creative poetry.
00:08:16.319 --> 00:08:26.720
And then I started remembering as a kid how I've always excelled in English and writing, and how I was a young author as a young kid, and my works were on display at school.
00:08:27.040 --> 00:08:29.920
God was like, I'm just reactivating what was already in you.
00:08:30.160 --> 00:08:37.120
And when I became that author as an adult, it calibrated some things within me, and I've been writing ever since.
00:08:37.279 --> 00:08:41.360
That's how we have 12 books with a 13th coming out soon.
00:08:41.600 --> 00:08:44.240
It's it's just something that has always been in me.
00:08:44.480 --> 00:08:46.080
I've been reading since I was three.
00:08:46.320 --> 00:08:51.120
My mom and my grandparents put a lot of time in with me to help me develop those skills.
00:08:51.279 --> 00:08:54.720
By the time I was six, I was reading the Chicago Tribune, not just the comic section.
00:08:55.200 --> 00:09:00.879
I could have conversations with my parents, my grandparents, and my mom about what I was reading.
00:09:01.039 --> 00:09:04.879
It's just been a love of mine that I didn't understand until that first book came out.
00:09:05.120 --> 00:09:09.919
What I thought was a flop and a failure was actually God recalibrating some things.
00:09:10.159 --> 00:09:12.960
I'm listening to your story, and it's like you're telling my story a little bit.
00:09:14.639 --> 00:09:16.879
I actually remember I said I would never write a book.
00:09:17.039 --> 00:09:18.960
One of my clients called me and she's a minister.
00:09:19.039 --> 00:09:21.200
She said, Wanda, God told me to call you.
00:09:21.440 --> 00:09:22.879
I said, Okay, what'd he say?
00:09:23.200 --> 00:09:25.840
He wants you to be part of this book, collaboration book.
00:09:26.080 --> 00:09:28.240
And I just told my girlfriend, I'm never writing a book.
00:09:28.320 --> 00:09:29.360
Who wants to read my book?
00:09:30.000 --> 00:09:34.559
When she told me it was called Audacity to Shine, I said, You know what?
00:09:34.639 --> 00:09:35.759
I like that chapter.
00:09:36.080 --> 00:09:37.919
If I'm given something to do, I get it done.
00:09:38.080 --> 00:09:39.519
So I got it done real fast.
00:09:39.679 --> 00:09:40.559
I used to write poetry.
00:09:40.639 --> 00:09:41.600
I didn't know it was poetry.
00:09:41.679 --> 00:09:43.679
I was just writing my feelings on paper.
00:09:43.919 --> 00:09:47.600
So when she talked about this collaboration book, I said, I pretty much have it done.
00:09:47.759 --> 00:09:50.320
I just gotta put it in the in the in the paper here.
00:09:50.399 --> 00:09:53.679
So I was the first one done with that collaboration, but it took a while.
00:09:53.840 --> 00:10:01.679
In fact, it really kind of gave me a bad taste of collaboration because it took a while because all the other nine girls had the women had to get their stuff and then it had to change or whatever.
00:10:01.759 --> 00:10:04.240
So that's when I said, I'm never doing another collaboration book.
00:10:04.399 --> 00:10:05.679
Yeah, never say never.
00:10:05.759 --> 00:10:08.559
And that was the second title of my second collaboration book.
00:10:08.720 --> 00:10:09.600
Never say never.
00:10:09.679 --> 00:10:10.639
God has a plan for you.
00:10:10.799 --> 00:10:11.840
Yes, he does.
00:10:12.320 --> 00:10:13.519
Girl, we got so much to talk about.
00:10:14.320 --> 00:10:17.440
I'm gonna have you back on my show because we actually have a lot to talk about.
00:10:17.600 --> 00:10:25.440
So now that you've written 12 books and hit the Amazon bestselling twice, what are some of the biggest lessons you've learned along the way?
00:10:25.679 --> 00:10:30.159
One of the lessons that I've learned, it's the sixth book that sits here on my shelf.
00:10:30.399 --> 00:10:33.120
I don't have any kids, but I say that my books are my baby.
00:10:33.200 --> 00:10:35.200
So that's my sixth baby back there.
00:10:35.519 --> 00:10:40.799
And sometimes you'll catch me rocking a sweatshirt that says, Some people birth babies, I birth books.
00:10:41.039 --> 00:10:44.960
That book really showed me that I had more to say.
00:10:45.120 --> 00:10:55.679
I thought I was just writing it for me and maybe a couple of people to help them identify their identity blueprint and keys to unlocking them true selves because that's what the book is all about.
00:10:55.919 --> 00:11:04.799
So um, shout out to my amazing, fabulous coach, Grace Marie Brown, who um worked with me to get that book out.
00:11:04.960 --> 00:11:11.120
And me and her designed that cover during a retreat of hers back in 2019.
00:11:11.519 --> 00:11:16.559
And so I was getting ready to hit the road to go to the retreat.
00:11:16.720 --> 00:11:20.480
And my grandfather and I were sitting in his basement, his den.
00:11:20.879 --> 00:11:28.159
And that was one of the last times that me and my grandfather had an extensive conversation before he died suddenly the next month.
00:11:28.320 --> 00:11:35.039
That book means so much to me because it's not only me sharing, but when people pick it up.
00:11:35.200 --> 00:11:50.159
It's a book for people who are in a state of transition, whether they're going through grief and trying to figure out who they are again, whether they lost their job, they're trying to figure out who they are again, whether they're going through a state of divorce, trying to figure out who they are again.
00:11:50.320 --> 00:11:58.879
And I had a friend in Virginia, and she was working with those who were in the military, helping them the transition from military life to civilian life.
00:11:59.039 --> 00:12:04.639
And she gave them my book, and it gave them hope in life because it speaks to people for transition.
00:12:07.519 --> 00:12:21.360
And you never know how God wants to use you through your book to reach the process because we can't hop on a phone call with everybody, but people can go to Amazon, Book Son Barnes and Noble, Books a Million, and our own websites.
00:12:21.919 --> 00:12:24.960
So that book really has changed the life of many.
00:12:25.120 --> 00:12:29.360
One of my girlfriends was like, Hey, I'm connected to a women's shelter here in Atlanta.
00:12:29.519 --> 00:12:36.000
They want to buy a hundred copies of your book, and so now that message is getting shared with so many.
00:12:36.159 --> 00:12:41.200
And what took me 28 days to write is now planting seeds in other people.
00:12:41.360 --> 00:12:44.399
So you just never know where your book journey is gonna take you.
00:12:44.720 --> 00:12:53.120
I love that because my editor who edited my book, God's Grace Through the Fire, said Wanda, you got to get this book out because a lot of people need to read this book.
00:12:53.200 --> 00:12:54.960
And I mentor at middle schools as well.
00:12:55.120 --> 00:12:57.759
That's something that I want to get back because I was a social worker.
00:12:57.840 --> 00:12:58.000
Okay.
00:12:58.240 --> 00:13:01.360
I did social work before I did our IBM, but I'm constantly doing it anyway.
00:13:01.519 --> 00:13:04.080
So many inspiring authors struggle with self-doubt.
00:13:04.240 --> 00:13:09.440
What advice do you give them about pushing past fear and starting their writing journey?
00:13:09.919 --> 00:13:24.240
One of the things that I say to my clients as I'm coaching them, because there's so many different factors that are out here in the world that play, they have a major play within people's minds and hearts and what they're seeing.
00:13:24.480 --> 00:13:31.120
And they feel like I can't be an author because of what my friend said that her journey was like or his journey was like.
00:13:31.360 --> 00:13:44.320
When I come across those people, I tell them one of the most important things you can do for yourself is before you even think about what you really want to write about, if you're stuck, just journal and get that brain dump out.
00:13:44.480 --> 00:13:51.360
A lot of people can't see the connection with how writing is really good for your mental health.
00:13:51.519 --> 00:13:53.039
I work in the social work field.
00:13:53.120 --> 00:13:56.799
I am not a social worker, but I've been working in the social work field.
00:13:56.960 --> 00:13:59.120
There'll be 10 years coming up very soon.
00:13:59.440 --> 00:14:25.279
One of the things that I tell people I work with, whether it's dads that are working to figure out how to reacclimate their lives after some type of hurt, whether it was incarceration or their kids being taken away and now trying to reunify with families, or those going through their survival to thrival walk as domestic violence and sexual assault, shifting from victor to victor.
00:14:26.320 --> 00:14:27.600
Writing's important.
00:14:35.440 --> 00:14:37.519
Just getting out those feelings and emotions.
00:14:37.759 --> 00:14:41.519
Start there and don't be afraid of what's coming out.
00:14:41.679 --> 00:14:44.960
Because sometimes people are like, oh my God, I can't believe that came out of me.
00:14:45.039 --> 00:14:46.480
No one's gonna want to listen to that.
00:14:46.639 --> 00:14:48.159
And it's clearly the opposite.
00:14:48.320 --> 00:14:50.639
One of the things I talk to people all the time.
00:14:50.879 --> 00:14:55.679
If you're thinking it, the enemy will want you to think the opposite.
00:14:55.840 --> 00:15:05.919
If you're thinking it and you're like, okay, I can really do this, and then here comes the enemy saying, No, you can't lean out what you're saying that you can do because that's the right answer.
00:15:06.240 --> 00:15:09.919
We live in a place of fear because we all have a story to tell.
00:15:10.240 --> 00:15:14.320
My story doesn't look like Wanda's story or the next person's story.
00:15:14.559 --> 00:15:21.840
You don't have to be an Oprah or a Gale or The Rock or Ludicrous for people to want to hear your story.
00:15:21.919 --> 00:15:30.240
You don't have to be famous because people who need to hear your voice for their healing journey to be activated.
00:15:30.559 --> 00:15:32.000
You said it all in a nutshell.
00:15:32.080 --> 00:15:32.480
I love that.
00:15:32.720 --> 00:15:41.120
How do you help your clients at VOS Consulting and Publishing International Transform their stories into powerful, profitable platforms?
00:15:41.440 --> 00:15:46.799
One of the things that I really help them to understand is the mindset of even just being an author.
00:15:47.039 --> 00:15:53.840
I don't teach principles how to speak on stages or do any of the marketing tips.
00:15:54.000 --> 00:16:02.320
The one thing that I help them to do, to be profitable, because when you think of profit, it's not always money, it's more so of mindset.
00:16:02.480 --> 00:16:07.519
If you have the mindset and the drive to push your book, the money will come.
00:16:07.679 --> 00:16:08.720
I truly believe that.
00:16:08.879 --> 00:16:12.159
I tell my clients all the time: once you're an author, you are a speaker.
00:16:12.480 --> 00:16:20.000
You look at me like a deer in headlights from the aspect of you being a speaker, meaning that you have to speak up and talk about your book.
00:16:20.159 --> 00:16:22.080
Your book isn't gonna sell itself.
00:16:22.320 --> 00:16:27.600
You've got to have to figure out how to get on podcasts, you're gonna have to figure out how to get on stages.
00:16:27.759 --> 00:16:29.679
I don't help my clients with that.
00:16:29.840 --> 00:16:39.840
I know that there's other people out there in the world that can I have a friend who's a TEDx speaker, one of the young ladies I went through the camp with, and she teaches people all the things on how to do that.
00:16:40.159 --> 00:16:48.960
My gift set is from concept to publish author and working with them to understand that it can be done.
00:16:49.279 --> 00:16:53.919
So then they can shift their mind to the next elevation place.
00:16:54.159 --> 00:17:00.320
Remember, I'm the foundation girl, so if I work the foundation with you, then you have the tools to build.
00:17:00.559 --> 00:17:01.360
That's collaboration.
00:17:01.600 --> 00:17:02.240
That's what I do.
00:17:02.559 --> 00:17:08.400
Collaboration because then you get the people who can help the experts in doing the next stage to help them get to that level.
00:17:08.559 --> 00:17:10.559
No, it's really ma'am.
00:17:10.720 --> 00:17:11.440
That's not it.
00:17:11.680 --> 00:17:14.480
All of my coaching and consulting comes around.
00:17:14.640 --> 00:17:25.599
Let me help you get the book out because that's the biggest piece because we have people around us that are telling us that we can't do it, whether it's our mama, our grandma, these influential voices.
00:17:25.759 --> 00:17:33.119
For some people, it's husbands, some people it's co-workers, and they lean so heavy on their voice to where they can't even hear the voice of God.
00:17:33.279 --> 00:17:35.759
So I'm like, hold on, let's do this.
00:17:36.000 --> 00:17:43.759
So I work with people who are believers of Jesus Christ as Lord, and I do that because I teach biblical principles.
00:17:43.920 --> 00:17:47.599
So I had someone say, I have to believe in Jesus to work with you.
00:17:47.759 --> 00:17:52.480
No, but you had to believe in the Bible because I'm gonna speak Bible to you while we're working.
00:17:55.759 --> 00:17:58.559
Yeah, I love it because it really that's how it all started.
00:17:58.960 --> 00:18:02.480
I did not want to be a publisher, I was burned by a publisher.
00:18:02.559 --> 00:18:10.160
So when God was like, This is what I have for you, and he gave me Voss, which in my mind means vault of steel, I'm the last steel woman.
00:00:00.160 --> 00:00:03.520
00:00:03.680 --> 00:00:08.560
00:00:08.720 --> 00:00:12.800
00:00:12.960 --> 00:00:14.960
00:00:15.119 --> 00:00:18.079
00:00:20.160 --> 00:00:22.320
00:00:22.559 --> 00:00:30.160
00:00:30.559 --> 00:00:40.799
00:00:41.280 --> 00:00:49.520
00:00:49.759 --> 00:00:55.119
00:00:55.200 --> 00:01:00.320
00:01:00.719 --> 00:01:01.920
00:01:02.079 --> 00:01:04.079
00:01:04.319 --> 00:01:05.680
00:01:05.840 --> 00:01:10.400
00:01:10.560 --> 00:01:18.640
00:01:18.799 --> 00:01:26.799
00:01:26.959 --> 00:01:27.120
00:01:27.359 --> 00:01:28.079
00:01:28.239 --> 00:01:36.879
00:01:37.040 --> 00:01:37.760
00:01:37.840 --> 00:01:46.079
00:01:46.239 --> 00:01:47.120
00:01:47.280 --> 00:01:47.760
00:01:47.840 --> 00:01:49.599
00:01:51.040 --> 00:01:51.840
00:01:52.000 --> 00:01:53.840
00:01:54.079 --> 00:01:54.959
00:01:55.280 --> 00:02:00.799
00:02:00.879 --> 00:02:05.200
00:02:05.359 --> 00:02:13.840
00:02:14.000 --> 00:02:20.639
00:02:20.879 --> 00:02:21.199
00:02:21.439 --> 00:02:34.960
00:02:35.120 --> 00:02:38.240
00:02:38.479 --> 00:02:40.319
00:02:40.479 --> 00:02:42.159
00:02:42.400 --> 00:02:43.680
00:02:44.319 --> 00:02:45.360
00:02:45.680 --> 00:02:47.439
00:02:47.759 --> 00:02:48.560
00:02:48.639 --> 00:02:51.680
00:02:51.840 --> 00:02:55.599
00:02:55.680 --> 00:02:58.080
00:02:58.319 --> 00:03:02.800
00:03:02.879 --> 00:03:04.960
00:03:05.120 --> 00:03:06.240
00:03:06.400 --> 00:03:07.680
00:03:07.840 --> 00:03:09.919
00:03:10.000 --> 00:03:13.199
00:03:13.360 --> 00:03:15.680
00:03:15.840 --> 00:03:23.360
00:03:23.439 --> 00:03:31.840
00:03:31.919 --> 00:03:33.360
00:03:33.439 --> 00:03:35.919
00:03:36.000 --> 00:03:38.400
00:03:40.800 --> 00:03:45.280
00:03:45.360 --> 00:03:46.319
00:03:46.479 --> 00:03:50.400
00:03:50.479 --> 00:03:51.840
00:03:53.120 --> 00:03:53.520
00:03:53.759 --> 00:03:56.000
00:03:56.240 --> 00:03:59.439
00:03:59.759 --> 00:04:00.400
00:04:00.639 --> 00:04:05.759
00:04:06.080 --> 00:04:10.960
00:04:11.120 --> 00:04:15.120
00:04:15.439 --> 00:04:20.480
00:04:20.800 --> 00:04:24.959
00:04:25.279 --> 00:04:28.319
00:04:28.480 --> 00:04:35.199
00:04:35.360 --> 00:04:36.560
00:04:36.720 --> 00:04:38.800
00:04:39.199 --> 00:04:43.120
00:04:43.360 --> 00:04:47.759
00:04:48.079 --> 00:04:51.759
00:04:51.920 --> 00:04:57.839
00:04:58.079 --> 00:05:05.360
00:05:05.519 --> 00:05:09.839
00:05:10.319 --> 00:05:18.959
00:05:19.040 --> 00:05:27.040
00:05:27.279 --> 00:05:28.639
00:05:28.800 --> 00:05:42.480
00:05:43.680 --> 00:05:44.160
00:05:45.360 --> 00:05:49.920
00:05:50.079 --> 00:05:56.000
00:05:56.079 --> 00:06:10.000
00:06:10.240 --> 00:06:13.360
00:06:13.519 --> 00:06:19.759
00:06:19.920 --> 00:06:24.399
00:06:25.199 --> 00:06:39.920
00:06:40.079 --> 00:06:42.800
00:06:43.040 --> 00:06:43.600
00:06:43.680 --> 00:06:44.560
00:06:44.639 --> 00:06:46.000
00:06:46.079 --> 00:06:48.079
00:06:48.240 --> 00:06:49.279
00:06:50.000 --> 00:06:51.839
00:06:52.000 --> 00:07:00.560
00:07:00.720 --> 00:07:02.240
00:07:02.319 --> 00:07:03.519
00:07:03.759 --> 00:07:04.720
00:07:05.040 --> 00:07:10.079
00:07:10.399 --> 00:07:11.120
00:07:11.600 --> 00:07:27.040
00:07:27.279 --> 00:07:35.040
00:07:35.120 --> 00:07:36.720
00:07:36.879 --> 00:07:38.800
00:07:39.040 --> 00:07:40.079
00:07:40.240 --> 00:07:41.759
00:07:41.920 --> 00:07:44.079
00:07:44.319 --> 00:07:46.319
00:07:46.480 --> 00:07:49.120
00:07:49.279 --> 00:07:53.600
00:07:53.759 --> 00:07:56.399
00:07:56.639 --> 00:08:08.319
00:08:09.759 --> 00:08:13.040
00:08:13.199 --> 00:08:16.240
00:08:16.319 --> 00:08:26.720
00:08:27.040 --> 00:08:29.920
00:08:30.160 --> 00:08:37.120
00:08:37.279 --> 00:08:41.360
00:08:41.600 --> 00:08:44.240
00:08:44.480 --> 00:08:46.080
00:08:46.320 --> 00:08:51.120
00:08:51.279 --> 00:08:54.720
