0:25.9	What up, guys? So today's podcast is with a buddy of mine, Nick Sanders, a jih Tjitsu black belt, a decorated competitor, lives over in near St. Louis, and really tough training partner. You know, he's, he's really good at Jiu-Sitsu, and he's a very, very tough training partner that I've, you know, trained with several times over the years. And I wanted to have him on the podcast. You know, he has a military background, does And we get it. This one, we get into a lot to a lot of training about, or in this episode, we get into a lot about training as you get older because, you know, that's a question that's,
0:31.3	you know, on my mind. That's a question probably on a lot of your guys' minds, because I know
0:34.7	a lot of you listening. We have a wide range of ages, but we do have some people that are either in their late
0:42.3	20s, early 30s and on, right?
0:44.1	I know we have people listening that are in their 60s, sometimes even older than that.
0:47.9	I've talked to some of you guys.
0:48.8	And so even the ideas that we're going to share, even if you're not older, they can still be useful to you because

1:18.6	If you're going to get things done, if you want to have time to yourself, whatever you
1:21.1	have to do it.
1:21.6	So, you know, you can take, if you could have learned those lessons beforehand, you're like, man, that would have been really useful to it. So with what as we get older, a lot of times we just have to take the wisdom that we've learned.
1:32.4	That's what us old, the grayed haired people say wisdom, right?
1:35.9	Um, we take the, the wisdom that we've gained from the experiences that we've had.
1:39.4	And then we sort of try to make things better. And so even if you're not like, you know, a little long in the
