So is that how this happened? How, how did this come about? Tell us your origin story.
2:00
Yeah.
2:00
So obviously, like you said, you know, my, my life growing up, I've always been around sports.
2:05
Um, I was fortunate enough to get a college scholarship to the University of Nebraska, um, to play football and, um, spent about three and a half years there and was drafted to the Philadelphia Eagles to play football.
2:16
And obviously every day I lived, breathed, and studied football, and with that comes health and wellness and, you know, um, in terms of performance, we always talk about, you know, what you put in your body is what you get out.
2:30
And for us is, um, you know, we're, we get paid how we sur- our, you know, our livelihood is based off how we do on the football field, right? So in terms of for us to make peak performance to be our best, we absolutely have to take care of ourselves and do the little things and the details of what goes into our body so that we can perform at such a high level in football.
2:50
And you know, that's something that kind of got me into where I'm at right now with raw food.
4:42
Yep
12:37
Yeah.
12:38
I mean, you hit a lot of that on the nose.
12:40
Um, Yeah, but that's kind of, I was in the same boat as you, you know, I was curious, you know, what started me was like living in Philadelphia.
12:48
I was just surrounded by concrete and, you know, being a South Dakota kid, I was just like, this is, it just wasn't good for my mental health.
12:55
Obviously going and playing football is only half of the day and you come home and.
12:59
stirring at other tall buildings.
13:01
I'm like, this isn't no fun or doesn't make me feel good.

Doing this podcast and getting to chat with you a little bit about some of this stuff, all of it just kind of makes a ton of sense when you talk about it.
