Hey everyone, thanks for tuning in to Power Athlete Radio.

Power Athlete, former Grid League athlete now coach, professor of evolutionary neuroscience,

Steve Plattuck now adds TED Talk speaker to his long list of accolades.

Otherwise known as one professor Booty, Steve was one of the founding hosts of Power Athlete Radio.

His passion to battle the bullshit helps spark the original show and is apparent in all of his

training and professional endeavors.

with Professor Booty himself. This is episode 175.

for what he does best. So, Steve, you've not been on the show in a long time. Why don't you

go ahead and introduce yourself for any new listeners that we got going on?

Sure.

Okay.

So my academic credentials are, I have doctorate's in evolutionary biology and cognitive
