0:00.0	What is going on, guys.
0:15.4	Welcome to another episode of the Boom Boom Performance Podcast.
0:20.1	Today's guest, holy shit man that was a lot of information so
0:27.7	you guys are in for a whirlwind of hormonal content my good friend sam miller came on the
0:34.2	podcast this is somebody who is a coach in the industry, somebody I'm
0:37.5	close with. We share a lot of friends, a lot of colleagues, mentors, and we're a part of a lot of
