Title: 1.1.5 Transcript

Here is my attempt at the 1.1.5 transcript. I had some difficulties with Remen's accent, but did my best to record what he was saying.

Some issues / comments about how I transcribed:
* I recorded the times of anything I wasn't confident enough to record (e.g. unintelligible / how to spell a person's name) with the standard of [ *issue* @ MM:SS], so searching for "@" should give a list of all timestamps that may need a second look

* There is talk of something that is pronounced by Remen as "Sall-if", which, based on the definition he gave, and a lot of googling seems to be written Caliph. If I'm wrong, feel free to replace with correct word

* I wasn't sure if I should attempt to use Markdown ( \_ ) to give emphasis to words that the speaker seemed to emphasize, or not, so I leaned towards just giving the pure text. If emphasis notations are desirable then it will need another listen.

* I denoted anything that wasn't part of the actual interview as being (Voice-over) to distinguish sections of text that were not Scott speaking with Remen.

* I tried to break the paragraphs up enough for anybody who read it to not have a wall of text, so sometimes there will be several **Remen:** paragraphs, one after the other. Also, I omitted some **Scott: Mm-hmm's** in order to keep Remen's sentence flow in tact... but other times I used it as a way to keep Remen from having a wall of text.

Side-note: Man, transcribing is much more time-consuming than expected, especially with a non-native English speaker who I don't want to misquote. It is a _great_ interview, and I thought Remen's story, his passion, and his pride were amazing!
