| 0:00.0 | Hey, folks, I know last week we had a without compromise episode that was a crossover. |
| 0:27.6 | That's the other show I host without compromise from athletic brewing, which is my day job, non-alcoholic craft beer. |
| 0:34.6 | You may have heard of it. |
| 0:35.7 | If you hadn't, it's really good, |
| 0:38.4 | non-alcoholic craft beer. I know that sounds like an oxymoron, but here at Athletic Brewing, |

| 0:53.6 | differently, likes to talk to people who are doing things differently. So it's perfect for me who likes to do things differently, likes to talk to people |
| 0:55.1 | who are doing things differently. And today's guest is actually one of our athletes, our pro athletes |
| 1:01.1 | at Athletic Brewing, Malia Manuel, who has been on the World Surf League for like a decade |

| 1:45.2 | summit today, and we are a gathering of media from the outdoor industry all over the country, |
| 1:52.7 | meeting at Lake Tahoe, North Lake Tahoe. So I'm there. If you're there, come say hello. If you're |
| 1:57.7 | near there, come say hello. If not, it should be some really cool stuff. |
