What's up, motivators? We are back after a few weeks away from YouTube land and podcast land.

0:07.3

We're back and we are ready to start talking about how we are going to move forward in endurance sports with this added focus on overall health.

0:18.3

This is what we call the motive method.

0:21.0

This is what I've been thinking about for the past couple of years.

0:23.5

As we started coaching more and more athletes through our app, I started thinking, how do we

0:29.3
