| 0:00.0 | Hey everybody. Welcome back to the muscle intelligence podcast. I'm your host, Pampalcoli. |
| 0:03.4 | Today we're going to get into the five role models for men in 2025. The five guys who have |
| 0:10.2 | influenced me massively, certainly this year and even before, if I'm honest, but this year has been a |
| 0:16.3 | really transitional year for me. Many of you recognize the podcast is back. The topics are slightly different. |
| 0:22.7 | It's really about optimizing life being the best man that I can be. And I'll tell you, |
| 0:28.3 | the first catalyst for being the best man I could be was certainly the birth of my children. |
| 0:32.9 | You know, prior to the birth of my children was I was really selfish. I was self-centered. I wanted |
| 0:37.2 | to be the best me, but it was really focused on external achievement was I was really selfish. I was self-centered. I wanted to be the best |

| 1:23.1 | of the list. |
| 1:23.5 | I don't want to leave those guys off. |
| 1:24.6 | But this podcast is really going to dive into the five men who have influenced me most in 2025 and maybe a few other that I'll slide in there along the way. |
| 1:33.8 | So, and in no particular order, one of the guys that maybe has changed my life more than anyone, |
