0:00.0	This episode is sponsored by Team Builder, yet another company that's doing great things for the first responder community.
0:07.0	As a strength and conditioning coach myself who also trains tactical athletes,
0:11.0	dissemination of wellness information is one of the biggest challenges.
0:16.0	Now, TeamBuilder is the premier strength and conditioning software for tactical athletes. And there are several features that really impressed me.
0:23.6	Firstly, there is a full exercise library, so you, the personal trainer, does not have to create that within your own department.
0:31.6	Secondly, you can send out programming, but also individualize, which I love.

1:48.5	absolute honor to welcome on the show, my friend and stuntman, John Reynolds.
1:54.8	Now, in this conversation, we discuss a host of topics from John's early life in New Zealand,
2:00.6	working as a club bouncer, his journey
2:03.3	into the stunt world, working with Captain Dale Dye, the Pacific, the shift in his perspective
