When we're young we have an amazing positive outlook about how great life is going to be

but somewhere along the line we forget to dream and end up settling. Join up dots

features amazing people who refuse to give up and chose to go after their dreams.

This is your blueprint for greatness.

So here's your host, live from the back of his garden in the UK, David Rall.

Yes, hello there, good morning to you all.

Good morning to every single person who is either listening to the show or going through our coaching or whatever

you're doing through the Join Up Dot's platform thank you so much for being a part of it

and of course thank you so much for today's guest who's joining us on the podcast

because he is a man who is an entrepreneur and editor and voice actor based in New York City.

He's also the co-founder and editor of Barb Bend., a media brand that provides multi-platform

coverage of news, analysis, training and opinion in strength, training and sports.

Now that doesn't really make sense to you then consider this. If you want to know anything

about weightlifting, training routines, big sweaty men in gyms and the best products that they buy and just all that really interesting stuff around the sport,

and is also a broadcaster for the 2019 Reebok Cross Fit Games. I assume that's already occurred.

Now in 2019 David was honoured as a Forbes 30 under 30 list

maker for media and through Barb Ben's numerous media partnerships,

and numerous media partnerships, he was asked to serve as a color commentator for both

national and international weightlifting competitions along with the Reebok Cross Fit Games.

Now originally from Kentucky, as I say he's now in New York City,

he seems to be loving life.
