| 0:00.0 | Thanks for tuning into this episode of the Human Performance Outliers podcast with Zach Bitter. |
| 0:09.9 | All right, folks, welcome back to another episode of the Human Performance Outliers podcast. |
| 0:15.3 | I'm your host, Zach Bitter, and I am coming to you solo today. |
| 0:19.7 | So for those of you've been listening along so far this year, my plan for this year is to |
| 0:24.5 | have kind of a dual episode structure where some of the episodes I come to you solo, |
| 0:31.9 | where we jump into topics and questions that come in from you, the listeners, |
| 0:36.0 | via email or social media channels, to go alongside |
| 0:39.4 | the interview shows that I'll be doing. My kind of target so far is going to be four episode |
| 0:46.1 | interview style per month alongside two or more solo ones. So six is kind of the low target. |
| 0:53.9 | For now, I'm hoping to maybe get that |
| 0:55.6 | up to closer to eight, possibly more by the end of the year. We'll see how things are going. |
| 1:00.5 | My wife and I are actually about to finalize our move to Austin. We close on our new house on |
| 1:06.9 | the 14th. So that will make it a little bit easier from the podcast side of things. Right now, |
| 1:11.8 | I've been doing a little bit more of a remote mobile recording setup here as we've kind of |
| 1:17.4 | gotten to Austin, but yet to move into our permanent house. Once I get in there, I'll have a little |
| 1:21.7 | bit of a setup and a little bit more of a consistent recording structure. And that will likely |
| 1:26.4 | create an efficiency that will allow me to do a little bit more with the podcast side of things. |
| 1:30.6 | So looking forward to that, some things coming up with the podcast in general. |
| 1:38.2 | For those of you looking forward, we've got some exciting interviews on tap that are up on Patreon right now, but have |
| 1:46.6 | yet to be released to all podcast platforms and YouTube. Those include what will ultimately be, |
| 1:55.5 | I believe, episode 275, which is called the Training nutrition recovery with Dr. Mark Bubbs. |
| 2:04.4 | Dr. Bubbs comes back onto the show from a previous guest. |
