| 0:00.0 | I don't normally do this, but I'm going to do it. If this bill in two years is obsolete because |
| 0:06.4 | we have passed a federal food safety program and Senate Bill 14 just, you know, goes away. |
| 0:14.2 | That's the goal. Hi, everyone. Welcome to the show. I don't know about you, but growing up, |
| 0:18.6 | a lot of us thought of disruption as kind of a |
| 0:21.7 | destruction. And it's a kind of disrespect we often wouldn't dare touch. But my guest today, |
| 0:27.2 | they've completely flipped the script. They're two high school friends who reunited. They even went to |
| 0:31.5 | college together later in life to take on systems that they knew needed fixing and could be improved so much. |
| 0:39.3 | One, he went on to author and pass Louisiana's SB 14, and it's a bill addressing children's |
| 0:45.2 | health and nutritional needs. |
| 0:47.0 | And the other helped him build the habits that made it possible. |
| 0:50.9 | Together, these two are living proof of what some grit, real commitment, and the |
| 0:55.7 | courage to take risks can achieve. Please welcome close friends and a dream team, Senator Patrick |

| 1:20.8 | oftentimes, I mean, you've got your internal health, your health starts from the ground up. |
| 1:25.6 | Literally, I've always had this kind of love-hate relationship |
| 1:28.4 | with shoes i'm a size 12 i could find great ones for training but in everyday life no chance comfort |
| 1:34.3 | usually meant giving up style well that is until i found vionic i've been wearing vionic shoes for years now |
| 1:41.4 | they feel like recovery sneakers but look like chic flats or sleek loafers, |
| 1:46.8 | stylish and supportive. It's a total game changer. Vionic shoes are built on real science, grounded in |
| 1:53.5 | biomechanics, and design with purpose. So whether I'm traveling, running errands, or just out with friends, |
| 1:59.2 | I feel supported, grounded, and confident. |
