| 0:14.7 | And today we're going to hear from a high performance listener because if you download the |
| 0:18.0 | high performance app right now, then you can find our brand new strand of listener stories and actually so often on my |
| 0:25.2 | socials or even when I'm just walking down the street I have people that stop me and say, |
