| 0:00.0 | Welcome to Entrepreneurs the Playbook. I'm David Meltzer. We're here at the pro athlete community with advisors and investors. |
| 0:07.0 | They may have been former athletes, at least Frank and I were. I am a well-renowned below-average college football player, if you don't remember. |
| 0:15.7 | But Julius Thomas is the real deal at the end. Founder and CEO of Optimal Performance, also an advisory board member here at PAC, Bronson Capucsi, also an advisory board member, a member of the amazing OG1.

| 0:38.5 | He's an extraordinary entrepreneur and investor, |
| 0:41.0 | but he was wise enough to invest in PAC. |
