Hello and welcome to this episode of the ESG Fitness podcast. Unfortunately everyone, it's just me today.

Everyone has busy lives, I'm afraid, and this is the only time I could do it. I'm doing a solo episode, a Q&A episode for the incredible commit to six group.

And I have some great questions, so I will get going.

And he was like, yeah, yeah, yeah, whatever. And I actually did. I mean, the supplement company sponsoring me was obviously a complete flu yeah whatever and I actually did I mean the
