| 0:00.0 | I am so glad you could join us. I'm your host Mo Gaudet. This podcast is nothing more than a conversation between two good friends sharing inspiring life stories and perhaps |
| 0:16.3 | some nuggets of wisdom along the way. |
| 0:20.3 | This is your invitation to slow down with us. |
| 0:25.7 | Welcome to slow more. My guest today is my dear friend Peter Renard. |
| 0:38.0 | Peter is a former professional tennis player who was ranked in the top 10 worldwide in doubles and the top 40 in singles. |
| 0:47.0 | He qualified for the Australian finals open twice, was the former number one college player in America and then at age |
| 0:56.1 | 25 his career ended because of injuries that he sustained from pushing himself to the point where he couldn't play professionally anymore. |
| 1:06.5 | After his career ended, he travelled the globe teaching thousands of people of all ages and |
| 1:11.5 | skills to play tennis professionally including for example helping |
| 1:15.8 | McEnroe for a few of the wins that he had and through the process he devised a new system that he taught me this was the first time we met about which is called Tellos, the effortless life operating system which I find so interesting in terms of it's not just |

| 2:11.3 | I mean I play but I'm really not that good but I did really well which blew my mind and then when it |
| 2:17.5 | was the evening and dinner of course I looked around and then I found him and |
| 2:22.0 | I sat right in front of him and we spoke for |
| 2:24.8 | what must have been like four or five hours non-stop about every topic in life. |
| 2:29.4 | Such an amazing conversation. We spoke about the children, we should talk about effort, about excellence, about so many things, |
| 2:37.6 | and it was truly an enriching experience for me. |
| 2:41.4 | And so we stayed friends then I believe when we spoke the first time |
