0:00.0	This is Optimal Living Daily episode 2046. Take the Slowway by Ali Cornish of EverThrive.org.
0:07.2	An immune narrator Justin Mollek, the guy that reads to you every single day of the year from the best
0:11.7	blogs on the planet. Blogs are basically online articles for those that are unfamiliar.
0:17.9	And now today I have a post from Ali Cornish. So let's get right to it. As we optimize your life.
0:23.2	Take the Slowway by Ali Cornish of EverThrive.org. In our hectic lives we seem to move very quickly.

1:28.1	Three years ago my husband took me on a date to an event called Tour de Fatt,
1:31.9	New Belgium Brewery's annual traveling festival that showcases zany entertainment,
1:36.8	game show parodies, an interactive fashion showdown, and a car for bike swap.
1:41.9	What makes this festival different from other street festivals is not only its eclectic nature,
1:47.1	but also the fact that at its core lies the idea of taking the slow way. This concept is highlighted
1:53.2	by New Belgium's iconic logo, a simple beach cruiser bicycle. A bike is a very thing. There are
