| 0:00.0 | Welcome back to a brand new episode of Private Parts with me, Live Bentley. |
| 0:12.6 | This is the podcast where nothing is off limits. |
| 0:15.3 | And this week, we have a very special guest joining me on the sofa. |
| 0:18.4 | He went from Wall Street to Wellness. |
| 0:20.6 | It's Harrison Hyde. |
| 0:23.7 | Welcome. Thank you. Great to do you. I'm excited about this and I want to hear all about your |
| 0:28.0 | wellness journey. To explain to the listeners, we start from the beginning. So where did you grow up? |
| 0:34.0 | So I grew up in Norwich, rural city, two hours from anything. And I left there when I was 18, |
| 0:41.6 | but I knew from very young that I wanted to get out. I never really belonged. I think most people |

| 1:18.6 | trying to go pro. Yeah. Lo and behold, four years later, I didn't make it. Wasn't good enough. |
| 1:24.3 | But what's great about university in America is that they, you get a degree while you're |
| 1:29.4 | playing and they pay for it. So I was able to study and kind of have a backup option, I guess, |
| 1:36.9 | and after four years, decided to go after the next best thing in my eyes at the time, which |
| 1:41.8 | was Wall Street, because obviously like many young people, I was just chasing money. And, you know, I'd seen on a TV, Wall Street, great lifestyle, money. I thought, if it's not going to be a professional footballer, this is it for me. Listen, I watched Wall Street, and I thought, I could do that. I don't blame me. I think many people, many people did, but it's not all suns and rainbows, |
