0:00.0	You're listening to Power Athlete Radio, a podcast dedicated to empowering your performance every damn day.
0:08.0	Join former NFL Pro and Power Athlete founder John Wellborn as he dissects the greatest minds in strength, conditioning, and more.
0:17.0	So whether your goal is to be the hammer, destroy mediocrity, or simply move the dirt, you've come to the right place.
0:24.6	Now with the warm up done, let the gains begin.

0:29.2	We have Mr. Craig Patterson from Mad Labs on the podcast today.
0:33.9	I've known Patty for a number of years.

0:40.0	He's working with a bunch of gyms and really helping to create a more efficient microjim.

So, dude, thanks for being on the podcast. Oh, J.T. He'll be gone pretty soon, I think. Ah, you know, he's like herpes. Oh, dude, he's awful. Just when you think he goes away and you take the Valtrex, he comes back. Oh, dude. The last one he did, just ridiculous. A lot of people don't own homes anymore in Canada, and it's almost impossible. Like a condo, two-bedroom condo of Vancouver is like $1.3 million. He came out and said, you know, we can't let the prices come down because too many people rely on for their retirement.
