2:05.4	The Rich Roll Podcast and Max Luevere's Genius Life
2:09.2	Podcast. Sean Stevenson has the Model Health Show
2:12.3	and Drew Purowit, which has the Drew Purowit show.
2:16.0	And I really wouldn't be where I am today as an author and as a podcaster had I not met those gentlemen and been featured on their respective shows.
