0:00.0	What's up, guys? I need to change my intro. I say, what's up, guys? What's up, friends, family, co-wicas, love us. Emily here. So weird. I just had an incredible weekend in Austin. I met a ton of you, and it was incredible. Paleo FX was awesome. I actually partnered with, you guys know I love
0:22.5	Pirouad. Griffey Pooh, hi buddy. I love Pierwad, but they named their self-equip, so they have an
0:30.4	awesome rebrand, and I kind of like it. I'm digging the new name. I'm digging the new logo,
0:35.6	but best of all, I'm digging their new products.
0:38.9	So they have really great collagen sourced from the United States, all organic grass fed,
0:45.1	and they also have turmeric capsules, which I am all about. So again, the coolest thing is just
0:52.0	being with the company that I support and I'm sponsored by
0:55.6	and who supports me. And the people are just insane. It's like we really are all in this together.
1:02.0	Like I don't pick companies to work with because they pay me. I pick companies to work with
1:06.7	because they really want to make your life better. And that's what this company does. So
1:12.2	grass-fed proteins, collagen, the whole nine yards. I cannot wait for you guys to try their
1:17.1	collagen. As always, use M-Fit for a discount code. And I just for sure couldn't do what I do without
1:27.4	the people that support me. And a big piece of that
1:29.8	is you. And then it's also my awesome sponsors. But I'm picky and they are definitely one that has
1:35.6	checked every box for me. So thank you, Equip. Go check out their new website and their new stuff.
1:41.7	Formerly Pierwad now Equ quit. And this episode is all about
1:46.2	bobsled. It's so awesome. I met Lauren Gibbs forever ago. I want to say four years ago,
1:52.3	basically she decided she wanted to change her life and become a bobsledder. And now she is on her
1:58.7	way to the Winter Olympics in South Korea coming up next year.
2:03.7	So it's an incredible story. I love it. She is one of the strongest people. I know. Like,
2:09.3	this girl is a bad bitch. She's the best. And I hope you love it. I hope you follow her journey.
2:17.2	I hope we get to watch her on TV together.
