0:01.4	Ladies and gentlemen, Chris Van Blit!
0:08.2	Greetings and salutations, my friends.
0:11.8	Welcome back to another audio adventure on Insight.
0:14.7	I'm CVV, Chris Van Fleet, and thanks for being with us.
0:18.1	Whether this is your first episode or whether you listen to every
0:21.8	episode, no matter who the guest is. I appreciate you. You know, the last time that we had Matt Morgan
0:27.6	on the show was when the podcast was just starting back in 2019. Of course, the YouTube channel's
0:33.6	been around for, you know, 12 years now, which is crazy. But the podcast kicked off in the
0:39.3	summer of 2019. And that was such a great conversation. If you haven't listened to it, go back.

1:20.7	We get into that a lot and what happened with both of those and his plans to return to
1:25.9	WWE and what happened there. So he reached out to me about
1:28.7	two weeks ago and said, hey, man, I'd love to come back on the show. Let's just catch up.
1:33.0	So here we are. And I love this guy. Honestly, he could come on the show every single month,
1:38.3	and it would always be a new and fresh and great conversation. And I especially love the stuff that we talk about towards the end of the interview,
1:46.9	about working hard, about paving your own way.
