Strap yourselves in and hold on tight. This is the Power Movement.

Welcome to the Powell Movement. I'm your host, Mike Powell, and holy crap, it's episode 200 of the Powell movement. We are getting closer

to a million downloads and before I get into anything, I want to thank you, the people who

listen every week for tuning in. It's amazing to me that technology allows me to create the show

and deliver it to all of you. So thanks for coming back every week and telling

your friends about the show. I also need to thank my amazing sponsors who make this thing happen.

They're the 10 Barrow Brewery, Stanley, Cole Headware, Peter Glenn, Ski in Sports, and for the first

time, I have a ski sponsor for all ski episodes. I will be skiing on skis made in Europe for the

first time in a long time, thanks to the good folks at Alon, who really believe in what I'm doing.

And what I'm doing is creating the living history of, in my opinion, the most important athletes

and behind-the-scene players that have said yes to doing a podcast with me.

And just saying that makes me think of the people that have flat out said no. They are Seth

Morrison and Travis Parker. Seth has pretty much said no from day one. When I talk to him, he said,

I will never do an interview with you and I've kept asking him and I don't think he likes it one

bit. To the point where, while I think he is following me now on Instagram, I've kept asking him and I don't think he likes it one bit. To the point where,

while I think he is following me now on Instagram, I've noticed him block and unblock me and

follow me a couple of times. So at least I'm on Seth's radar. With Travis Parker, it's a little bit

different. I asked him years back to be on an episode, and this is what he sent me back.

Thank you for this opportunity.

Is it safe?

It seems like there could be a lot of exposure.

I'm skeptical when I think of offering myself to strangers viewing after years of it.
