0:12.5	And joining me today is Rich Losing, who is the corporate development manager for Movember.
0:20.4	And for those of you who maybe are not familiar
0:22.5	with Movember, it is a nonprofit, a charity specifically designed to raise awareness around the

2:02.9	I've really taken on that challenge this last year, tracking my HRV, my heart rate variability,
