0:00.0	Well, hey there, this is Kim Constable. Welcome to the Strong and Sculpted podcast, the podcast by me,
0:12.8	Kim Constable, also known as the Sculpted Vegan, about all things strong and of course all
0:17.9	things sculpted. So on today's podcast, I have a very special guest. I've been doing a lot of guest interviews recently, but that's just because I've been digging deep into the resources that I have, the people that I know to bring you the best positive mindset resources that I can possibly bring you to get through this really difficult time.
0:38.4	So if you're listening to this podcast later on, this is being recorded at the end of March 2020
0:43.7	when the world is in the middle of a global pandemic, aka COVID-19, the coronavirus.
0:50.6	And I am, what I'm trying to do is bring together all of the resources that I have to literally
0:55.4	just uplift your spirits, keep you going, let you know it's all going to be okay and that I'm
0:59.7	here to support you. So in today's podcast, I am interviewing a guy called Brian Keen. Now, Brian is

1:15.0	a guest on his podcast. And I agreed to be a guest and we had the best crack. Now crack is
1:22.3	another word for fun in Ireland. It's spelled C-R-A-I-C. And so I just loved being on Brian's podcast because any
1:28.7	podcast interviews I've ever done before have usually been with Americans, actually, been on a
1:34.4	couple of English podcasts, but as a guest, usually on American ones. And I am asked very frequently
1:38.3	to be a guest on podcast. And so whenever I was on Brian's one, it was so much fun, simply because
1:43.5	whenever you speak to someone from your
1:45.7	own country, you know, especially there are not very many people doing the online world,
1:49.4	doing the, you know, what Brian and I are doing in Ireland. So it's, it's just lovely to connect
1:55.9	with someone from your own country. And Brian and I really connected. We had such a similar mindset. You know, we just,
2:03.4	we connected on so many things, on fear mindsets, on, you know, on how to be productive, on how to
2:09.2	achieve your goals. Whenever Brian and I were talking recently, I said to him, he actually has a new
