Kyle Kingsbury is Director of Human Optimization at @Onnit and host of The Onnit Podcast. He is also a retired professional mixed martial artist, who fought at @UFC six years, and a former football player (Arizona State).

0:00.0	truck family we're back hanging out with Kyle Kingsbury this week. Had an awesome
0:08.3	weekend again. Can you believe this two-week in the row? The
0:12.8	shrugged fam is just killing it over here on the west coast. Viviana and I got
0:19.6	invited to Laird and Gabby Reese his house this past weekend to go through the
0:27.0	XPT industry weekend to check out all the things that they're working on over at
0:35.3	XPT right now. Pretty revolutionary stuff going on. It's very interesting.

1:55.9	and it's never really taken shape. 10-11 years ago when I found CrossFit, there
2:00.9	was these pieces of my life that I was kind of training but missing which
2:05.6	really led to CrossFit and why I was so deep in that world. Coming out of
