| 0:09.9 | All right, welcome back. Just a few updates and announcements before we get going on this episode. |
| 0:16.2 | Coming up on HBO will be two guests. First is Aaron Alexander. You may have never heard of |
| 0:22.9 | Aaron, but you likely are indirectly familiar with some of his work. He is an alignment coach |
| 0:28.3 | and believes strongly in physical and mental health going hand in hand. He has worked with some |
| 0:34.0 | major figures in sports and entertainment, including Toby McGuire and Gerard Butler. |
| 0:39.2 | I will be recording with Aaron live at the running event in Austin this year. |
