But first and foremost, I'm a student and more than anything, makes me tick is just learning and so this show is about me scratching my own itch to learn and I go out and find people mostly in health and wellness personal personal growth and development, |
| 0:23.0 | mindfulness, biomechanics, |
| 0:24.4 | and I try to bring their best research, |
| 0:26.5 | their best thinking to you to hopefully help you |

| 1:25.8 | and also foraging, meaning fishing, roadkill, acorns, acorn grubs, which are bugs that come out |
