| 0:00.0 | Hey everybody. Welcome to a special Q&A episode of the Muscle Intelligence Podcast. I'm Ben Bikolski. I live my life with the aspiration of fulfilling my soul's purpose. |
| 0:21.6 | I spent a lot of years as a professional bodybuilder, |
| 0:24.6 | chasing something outside of myself, chasing external gratification, |
| 0:29.6 | ultimately what evolved into escapism. |
| 0:31.6 | I was trying to escape my fear. |

| 1:36.2 | I'm wearing these spiffy pair right now. |
| 1:37.8 | I believe these are called The Smith. |
| 1:40.4 | I like these. |
