| 0:00.0 | What's up guys? Welcome back to the Flob State of Mind podcast. Aaron and Jordan here with our good |
| 0:03.9 | friends James Manly. I said friends friend James Manley. And all his personalities. Yeah. |
| 0:09.0 | Jim and I. That's right. That's right. All right. I always knew we had had more in common than I |
| 0:15.4 | thought. So what we got going on here, James is I want to give a little bit of background on James. A good friend of ours from Columbus, Ohio. And we've gotten to know James really closely |
| 0:23.5 | over the past year, which I'm going to let Aaron kind of get into, but I want to just hype James |
| 0:26.6 | up for a minute. He's a, man, just an amazing human always comes with an amount of energy that is |
| 0:32.0 | profusely contagious. Like it makes you just like hype every time you're around him. I've never seen the dude have a bad day. And he comes from very humble beginnings. And that's really what we're going to get into today. |
| 0:40.5 | We're going to talk about a lot about James background, which is going to not just motivate you, |
| 0:45.0 | but wake you up and make you aware of a lot of current issues that are that are, that are, |
| 0:48.7 | we're facing in our society. So James was a criminology major, which is going to really relate to what we talk about today in some ways at Ohio State. |
| 0:55.0 | And he was also a track star. So he was a big 10 champ at the Ohio State University. Shout out Buckeyes. And he's also a current online coach runs a really thriving business online.

| 1:20.1 | I'm like, damn, man. I'm good, I'm glad you started that way, though, because I want to, |
| 1:24.3 | I want to tell a story that I think is going to embarrass Jordan. What else is new? |
| 1:27.8 | Well, when we met James, I was like, man, I love this dude. |
| 1:31.0 | Like Jordan said, his energy, he's just so genuine. |
| 1:34.1 | I'm like, just something about it's so contagious. |
| 1:36.9 | And I think it was too genuine for Jordan. |
| 1:38.8 | He was like, man, I don't know. |
| 1:40.5 | He couldn't decide if he liked you for the longest time. |
