Hello, you are listening to Sigma Nutrition Radio. This is episode 301, and as always, I am your host,

Danny Lennon. And one conversation I've often had with friends, and many other people have talked

about a similar concept publicly as well, and perhaps it's something you've often thought about and talked about with

people attempt to turn their passion for health and fitness into a successful career.

And in fact, that area is something I've talked about with John, which we will cover on a future podcast episode,
