In this episode, Sal, Adam & Justin talk with Kyle Kingsbury. Kyle and the boys were first introduced a couple years back by Dr. Justin Brink. Kyle, a former MMA fighter, was just starting a podcast for Brain.fm (www.brain.fm/mindpump) and they soon became good friends.

Fast forward, after a trip in the spring of 2017 to PaleoFx, Kyle met Onnit's CEO, Aubrey Marcus, and they hit it off. Kyle has since become the Director of Human Optimization at Onnit and is the host of The Onnit Podcast.

This is a very entertaining and revealing episode. Kyle discusses his journey to Onnit and some of the challenges he has faced along the way. There is a lot that most of us can learn from Kyle's life philosophy, so enjoy!
