Good day, ladies and gentlemen. This is the Knowledge and Mileage Podcast with your host, Chris Gethyn.

What's up, guys? This is a new episode for us today. We did the first eight covering the eight-week

hardcore video trainer reboot. So I was sending additional hints, tips, hacks, you name it, and hopefully

they helped a lot of you out. So the reviews have been pretty good. Thank you very much.

Speaking of which, if you do like this podcast, please let me know. Tell me if I suck. Tell me if

I'm good. Tell me if I'm bad, tell me if I should go and

try golf, or leave a very nice review and let me know what you like, what you don't like,

tell your friends, and of course, please do subscribe. Today, I'm going to give you my

backstory. A lot of people have been asking, I would like to know how you got into the industry, what it was that enticed you into it, and what continues to motivate you today. So that's what I'm going to give you today. If any of you have read my most recent book, which is my autobiography, motivational memoir, I like to call it,

and that is called The Transformer that you can get on chris get on chesgethin.com. Then you'll probably

be bored. You've heard this before. But for those of you who haven't, I'll give you a very

brief rundown of that introduction. So I was born in Wales

back in the, God, a couple of centuries ago. And I grew up on a farm in Mid Wales. And from a very

young age, I started racing motorcross and that become my life. I just loved it. I hated school. I hated the teachers. Well, not so much the teachers. I just hated the system. I just did not want to be there. I feel anxious just thinking about it. People who say, you know, school years are the best of your life. Those people don't live or have not lived.

It was just not for me.

I'm not saying don't go and get an education,

but that education just wasn't working for me at that particular time.

It was content that didn't entice me, so I wasn't able to retain it.

But motocross, I absolutely loved it.

I loved the endorphine rush.

I loved the way that it made me feel.

And I just wanted to spend every minute that I was in the school on the bike. You know, I wanted to go back to the farm and get on a bike. And farm, you know, the farm wasn't much an adventure for me.
