Randy Hetrick, thank you so much for being our guest on the Mike Linton experience.

I'm super excited for our time together and like we talked about before we hit record everybody has a story and our passion is to help them tell it. So with your permission we're're going to start with where you were born, go all the way up to today, and then we want to talk about, we want to talk about TRX and outfit training and that kind of thing and all the stuff you're working on. So like we talked about before we hit record,

people are going to connect with something

having to do with your life story,

and it's going to inspire and motivate them

to go out and do things they've been putting off like working out,

taking better care of themselves, writing a book, whatever, right?

They're going to end up doing that and that's what we're all about.

So thanks again for being here.

Yeah, Mike, it's great to be here with you and we, hey, we were having such fun, you know, before we got rolling that I can only expect it to get better from this point forward.

We really were having a lot of fun for every court. So tell us where you were born.

I was born in in Southern California not too far from where you are up in Santa Ana and I grew up along the beaches in Orange County and then you know went to went to high school and Huntington Beach at Edison High and and ended up going up to university at USC and then you know during

USC I was a rower I'd been a wrestler and a volleyball player in high school and I just kind of gravitated

towards some of these miserable sports that nobody cares about for whatever reason, right?

It's a bit of a pathology for me. But it kind of cued me for where I decided to head after university, which you know, it was it was you and I are both old enough to remember, know when when a guy named Ronald Reagan was having a moment and making making government service cool again and and so I got kind of interested in that my junior year at USC and ended up leading that path led me to the seal teams.

Wow, that's cool. So let me back up for just a second if it's okay. What was your favorite thing about growing up in Southern California in the beaches?
