| 0:00.0 | Hey, this is Michael Kaz, and on this podcast, I explore ways of living a more wholehearted and fulfilling life. |
| 0:08.0 | I believe in the saying that what is most personal is most universal. On this podcast, you will hear |
| 0:12.6 | personal stories of struggle and challenge and what I and my guests have learned from those |
| 0:16.8 | experiences. You will hear ideas and concepts that expand your mind on topics like personal development, health, adventure, and sex and relationships. Above all, my intention is to |
| 0:26.0 | bring a depth of conversation and stories to connect more with my guest and with you. |
| 0:35.4 | Hey, and welcome back. This week's guest is Carl Pauley. Carl was one of the original CrossFit |

| 1:46.2 | on, you know, bits and pieces of mindset a lot more than other things. And so I'm a little bit |
| 1:55.2 | biased here, but I've started to notice more and more people talking about or even asking questions about |
| 2:04.4 | communication, mindset, relationships, a lot of psychology-type things. |
| 2:12.9 | I think it's becoming more popular. |
| 2:14.6 | People are noticing more and more how much that affects their performance, |
| 2:20.1 | their life, their sense of well-being. And the reason I'm telling you this is because I think |
