| 0:00.0 | You're going to. Welcome back to the Cygli Tips Podcast, everybody. I am Kayle Fritz and we have a very special |
| 0:20.8 | episode for you today. |
| 0:23.0 | Some of you might recall our |
| 0:25.0 | Raffer Roadmap episodes from earlier in the year |
| 0:30.0 | that Ollie Duggan and I put together. |
| 0:31.0 | Well, we thought we would do one more. We would do a sort of season wrap up. And to do that, we thought a roundtable would be fun. So we pulled in a couple athletes, a team principal, and a, well, a founder of a large clothing company, to chat about |
