Hey, fam, welcome back to the show for the announcement of a new show in the free trail network done in collaboration

with our good friends and partners at boa technology is introducing the science of performance podcast

This is going live today across all podcasting platforms, and it will exist in its own feed.

When you're done listening to this short episode, please go to the show notes and click
