Hello, my friend. It's episode 401 of the keto diet podcast. I'm so thrilled that you're

here today hanging out with me. So it's December 27th. Maybe you're listening to this episode

in more. Jonathan is my actual best friend in real life. I love the guy. He's amazing

and he had me on his podcast in November or so and it was just such a great New Year's

conversation. We were talking about goals and setting them and how to know when you need

to be harder on yourself, how to know when you need to be softer on yourself, how to

know when it's time to shift things, what motivates you, how to be motivated. It was just
