Hello and welcome back to the show. I'm Patrick. I'm here as always with Ben. I just sang a little bit.

0:10.3

I loved it. Why do you not sing more?

0:14.7

Welcome, everybody. Thanks for tuning in. We're going to talk today. I found myself in, let's just call it the last year or so, as my boys get older, I am hanging out with their friends' parents more. So I'm being exposed to people who I don't meet in CrossFit gyms, which is like 97% of the people I've met in the last 15 years. I've met them in a crossfit gym. And I find myself-

bubble has been exposed. Oh, no. Catch it, quick.

0:38.3

And I find myself in sometimes in conversations with people about the things that you and I talk about here on Chasing Excellence, whether it's fitness or health or nutrition or mindset or all these things.

some thoughts together as to for folks out there as well as for us, you and I, like, how do we know

1:41.8

where to begin if our goal is to help people chase what truly

1:46.4

matters in the way that we are ourselves trying to chase what truly matters?

1:50.2
