Welcome to this week's episode of The Balance Show.

If this voice sounds foreign to you, that's because it is.

My name is ARI.

I am the director of marketing at Balance Athletica, and today I will be interviewing the great Steve Dilk. I don't know if it's great, but that's me.

He's pretty great.

I am Steve.

What's up, everybody?

So, some of you guys may have an inkling of his story.

Some of you may not.

Myself, too, I'm really, really interested and curious about today's episode because although Steve's

a good friend of mine, I don't know his entire story from top to bottom. What I do know is that he was

part of that esoteric group that got into med school, was on track to be a medical doctor and

completely changed routes, which I feel is really, really uncommon, especially in a field

that's, you know, so regarded, so revered. And I just kind of want to go into Steve's life and

talk about, you know, what spawned that decision, how did he get there, and what's happened

since. Yeah, it's been a kind of a crazy ride. It hasn't been, I guess, when you look back on it,

it is a little, it's not really ordinary for somebody to choose a career path and then really

kind of radically change it. So that is something I did do, and I'm really happy I did.
