Some of the main topics that we're going to cover in the interview today is Cody's

self-coaching process, because he is self-coached although he has

a mentor in David Tilbury Davis that kind of oversees his training from time to time and

keeps him accountable but primarily he plans his own training as many of you do so we go into
