0:13.8	But if you haven't actually coached anybody, you're not going to get a job.
0:30.0	I'm going to board those drugs. I'm your host, Mike Bletsom. I'm joined by Dr. Indy Galpin,
0:51.8	Doug Warsen. And we're in Las Vegas, Nevada, at the NSCA conference. And we have the joy
0:57.7	of sitting down with, or standing here with Scott Caulfield. You have, you're the NSCA
