Hey everyone, thanks for tuning into Power Athlete Radio.

How can I sum up this episode?

Well, Brett Bartholomew is basically in the driver's seat of a vision quest to be the best coach, person, leader, human, whatever you want to be.

The author of Conscious Coaching does allow for the typical power athlete detours to occur along the way,

which obviously include movies, politics, child rearing, and of course, well-born stories. It's the

guidance that you've been looking for from a guy who has done a ton of research. Here it is, episode

570.

That's how I got my start in photoshopping.

As the story goes, and I've told it on this podcast before, I had, you know, the only

thing I used the computer for was booking travel when I was an NFL player. I didn't use the computer. I didn't get online. I just fucking read books and thought I lifted weights and had this like cool idea that I was going to be quite janking just wandering the fucking earth. And so then I get out of the NFL and I get into this whatever the fuck we do now. And I needed to jump on the computer and had zero skills.

And all of a sudden I got this email that was dressed to me and C-Ced like 150 people of me and like photoshopped into a body of water with a dolphin blowing a load on my face.

What just happened?

Just fucking out of nowhere.

My buddy, Brian, I'm going to say his last name.

He just sends this to me.

And then, like, hundreds of people, like many of which I didn't even know.

And they were just responding, like, this is the funniest thing.

And I was like, like, I'd always been able to defend myself anywhere I've ever been.

I never had a problem throwing hands. And I realized I was getting slapped around like a little bitch.

So I hit up Joey, who was a designer buddy of mine. And I was like, Joey, get over here. How do I

defend myself? So he came over. I downloaded Illustrator Photoshop on my laptop. And he showed me a few

things. I'm like, well, how many hours do I need before I'm actually good enough to defend myself? And he's like, I don't know, like 100. No problem. So I basically started photoshopping 18 hours a day for like six days. I had like, all I did was just fucking Photoshop things. I used to hit people up. I'm like, you need anything Photoshopped and just did a million different things.
