What's going on guys and welcome back to another episode of the podcast? This kicks off a multi-part podcast series that I've been wanting to do for quite some time now

in the entire series is a combination of stories and lessons that I've learned since starting bear

performance nutrition. When I started BPN in 2012,

there was a lot that happened before that

and there's been a lot that has happened after that.

And I've told and I've shared the story of building BPN on many different platforms in many different ways.

But what I've realized is a lot of the times when I've told the story, I have felt rushed. I've been rushed to tell the story of building BPN in the way,

with the depth and the stories and the knowledge and the experiences that I truly think it deserves.

And my goal, I hope, is that, one, it's entertaining,

and failures that I've made along the way. Also what this series is for me and my family and my kids as they

grow up is this is a resource where I can reflect, I can share, I can point people to two and say like from this point to that point,

from this year to that year, from the start to finish, this is what happened. This is how we did it. Here's the mistakes we made and here's what we did right. This is what we learned. There's a lot to unpack that can't be done in in one chapter. It can't

be done in one episode and that's why I want to break it up over the course of

multiple episodes, an entire series.

And the cool part about this is that it can keep evolving and growing.

As I enter a new chapter, is that
