Welcome back, friends, to the Strong Life podcast.

0:02.9

This is Zach Evanesh coming at you with another great episode.

0:06.9

I was a guest on Phil Ross's podcast.

0:10.7

I'm not sure what the podcast is called, but I've known Phil for a long time.

0:15.9

1:25.9

And I spoke about some of the early ways I learned

1:28.7
