Summary
Pete Moran has been a lot of things: ski instructor, snowshoe mountain marketing manager, 'People Magazine's "Most Eligible Bachelor," Red Bull marketing manager, agent, and entrepreneur. But really, Pete is a people person, and his natural ability to build relationships has helped him create an incredible life. On the podcast, we talk about all of the above and some great athlete stories revolving around Shane McConkey, Kasey Keller, and Marshawn Lynch.

| 0:02.3 | It's time to talk some shit on the Powell Movement. |
| 0:13.5 | Welcome to the Powell Movement. |
| 0:17.1 | I'm your host Mike Powell, and I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving. |
| 0:20.9 | I had an amazing one. |
| 0:22.4 | We went out to eat at a chain restaurant, the claim jumper, and while the service was slow |

| 0:32.6 | Things were easier this week. |
| 0:34.2 | Anne's was totally out of pain for the first time since our nightmares started, her complications |

| 1:15.5 | happened at our last appointment. No one ever looks at her charts before they enter the room |
| 1:19.4 | and everybody's completely confused when we try to explain what's going on. So we're happy to know |
| 1:24.5 | that Dr. Diamond does his homework. On top of that, he's confident, |
| 1:28.3 | and we can feel that confidence in the air, and that's really important. |
