0:24.5	number 102 from back in the vault of time. And this was with John Buchanis. He was somebody who was

0:44.7	about weight loss but how he juggled that goal with also doing a podcast at the same time so
0:51.4	he shared that his weight started as a struggle point back in childhood. And I have a lot of
