0:00.0 | I'm Matt Dixon and welcome to the Purple Patch podcast. The mission of Purple Patch is to empower and educate every human being to reach their athletic potential. Through the lens of athletic potential, you reach your human potential. The purpose of this podcast is to help time-starved people everywhere integrate sport into life. |
0:20.2 | And welcome to the Purple Patch podcast, as ever, |
0:24.0 | your host Matt Dixon. And to finish out the year, folks, a fun one, a little last-minute |
0:30.4 | holiday gift guide from yours truly. Grab your pens and paper, refer to a reference sheet in the show |
0:37.0 | notes, but today is all my take |
0:40.3 | on a few things that I think are worthy of your attention as we head in to 2020. But today |
0:48.0 | we begin with me. Oh, what a failure I am. |
0:56.0 | At least some of you guys might have been wondering where the show was last week. |
1:02.1 | Well, truth is, I snuffed it, or me. |

1:47.5 | take a mulligan. But I do promise you the weight is worth it. Now that we've had it once, |
1:53.5 | the second time, well, it must be better, I hope. But it truly was a wonderful conversation. |
2:00.4 | And good for Tom. He no longer needs to compete for show |
2:04.0 | of the year in 2019, all against my wonderful episodes and efforts, because he's into 2020. |
2:11.9 | But with that apology gone, let's do a special commitment for 2020. Yes, a performance commitment. You see, |
2:24.3 | here's what I want you as a listener to give me today. Before we go into 2020, I want one thing, one thing. |
