0:00.0	Hello and welcome to another episode of Chasing Excellence. My name is Patrick Cummings and I
0:04.6	always I am here with Ben Bergeron every week on the show. We dedicate some time to exploring how we
0:10.2	can live a life of better health and increased fulfillment. We answer your questions about the five
0:14.9	factors of health that I've deep on living in a life of excellence and explore the strategies and
0:19.1	frameworks to help us chase what truly matters. Thank you as always for tuning in to the show how
0:24.2	the heck are you Ben. We're very good Patrick. We are going to have a conversation today we've got

1:23.6	Comterrain Open Programming because I find Comterrain to be so above and beyond in terms of
1:28.0	its programming strategy and mindset components. Shout out to Comterrain. I'm looking for some guidance
1:33.2	as far as how to follow the programming for longevity versus competition. And I'm specifically
