| 0:00.0 | One of the biggest problems that we've encountered, and maybe you guys can |
| 0:04.1 | agree or disagree with me, that I think in fitness is that before it used to be that there wasn't |
| 0:10.8 | a lot of information. Now it seems like there's too much. Well, there's just a lot of convoluted. |
| 0:17.6 | Yeah, information, but most of it's not accurate. Most of it's not helpful. Like, they're going to push |
| 0:25.1 | a study that's going to promote them selling their supplement, or they're going to promote |
| 0:30.4 | a diet that's going to help sell their book or their... A lot of bias. A lot of bias, a lot of false |
| 0:36.9 | cities, a lot of it based on advertising. So, psych, hey, lose this much weight in 60 days or |
| 0:43.9 | and so people are getting... I can't believe and I take it for granted because we've been in the |
| 0:48.9 | industry as long as we have. We've been as professionals and this is what we love to do. And I take |
| 0:54.2 | for granted just how confusing it is because we know how to sift through. We know what's right and |
| 0:58.2 | what's wrong. And we get questions all the time from fans and you think to yourself like, |
| 1:06.2 | you should know the answer to that, but they don't. These are questions that we take for granted. |
| 1:10.3 | Well, this is a lot of what inspired the 30 days of coaching for us is how do we take all this |
| 1:16.2 | information? Even think about all the information that we've put out there over the last two years. |
| 1:19.6 | We have like almost 500 fucking episodes. So, how did we take 500 episodes? |
| 1:24.4 | So, daunting for just anybody to jump in. And most people that are just now coming on board |
| 1:28.8 | to MindPublic, let's be honest, the time that it takes to actually go back and listen to a lot of |
| 1:32.4 | people aren't going to be able to do that. So, how do we curate all this information and make it |
| 1:38.0 | very, very valuable to somebody who's just now onboarding or maybe started just a little while |
| 1:42.3 | back with us. And I think that's what inspired the 30 day of coaching is how would we take somebody |
| 1:46.4 | who we just met and try and break down all this information that we try. |
| 1:50.2 | Just one topic at a time. One day, one focus, one topic. Let's just break down that one thing so |
