0:00.0	I'm Matt Dixon and welcome to the Purple Patch podcast. The mission of Purple Patch is to empower and
0:05.8	educate every human being to reach their athletic potential. Through the lens of athletic potential,
0:11.2	you reach your human potential. The purpose of this podcast is to help time-starved people everywhere
0:17.3	integrate sport into life. All right guys, welcome episode four of the Purple Patch podcast, and this is coming off of a
0:26.3	fantastic and, might I say, somewhat inspiring conversation with Sami Incanan last week.
0:32.1	Such a wealth of knowledge, wisdom and really at that intersection of work, life and sports performance.
