0:00.0 | Thanks for tuning into this episode of the Human Performance Outliers podcast with Zach Bitter. |
0:10.1 | All right, folks, welcome back to another episode of the Human Performance Outliers podcast. |
0:14.2 | I'm your host, Zach Bitter. |
0:15.3 | And today I have another topic question episode for you. So I'm here solo with this one. |
