0:00.0	This episode is sponsored by a company I've used for well over a decade, and that is 511.
0:05.8	I wore their uniforms back in Anaheim, California, and have used their products ever since.
0:11.1	From their incredibly strong yet light footwear to their cut uniforms for both male and female

1:14.0	every purchase that you make. But I do want to say, more often than not, they have an even
1:19.6	deeper discount, especially around holiday times. But if you use the code Shield 15, that's
