Mike Chandler, welcome to the American Glutton podcast. Thanks for having me, brother. Appreciate it, man. Thank you so much.

I've seen and been around lots of professional athletes that I don't think are as driven as you are or from what I've seen.

What is that? Where does that come from? Like what's happening? Man, well, I mean, for me, it's just number one, I start very, very beginning. I had a great example.
