0:05.8	This is your host, Stephen Dimmit.
0:07.8	We've got a very different episode today.
0:10.6	I normally interview world-class climbers, expert coaches, Olympians, people along those lines.
0:17.0	And today's guest is not a climber, but I really loved this episode.
0:22.1	It was super interesting.
