| 0:03.3 | This is the Power Movement. |
| 0:12.8 | Welcome to the Powell Movement. |
| 0:16.0 | I'm your host Mike Powell, |
| 0:17.2 | and this week is another week of me branching out. |
| 0:22.4 | Well, you can bet that I'm going to have a shit ton of action sports athletes on the show, and I'll sprinkle in some business episodes, |
| 0:27.3 | I do have a lot of fun interviewing people who have a connection to snow, but have found their success |

| 1:33.6 | what really differentiates me from those other podcasts is the variety I have. You never know what |
