Speaker:Even argued about it's uncomfortable,

Speaker:here's the truth. Being willing to change
Speaker:your mind is one of the most powerful
Speaker:things you can do for your health, your
Speaker:growth, and your performance. In this

Speaker:that most people aren't ready for. Let's
Speaker:dive in.
Speaker:I'm Ian Hawkins and this is Sporty's

Speaker:see it, is to see your vision become a
Speaker:reality, find your voice, create
Speaker:strong connections and learn to trust
Speaker:your body.

Speaker:whole episode. Now it's time to take
Speaker:action. Commit to one thing you've
