1:14
Speaker 2: on your show again.
1:14
Speaker 1: My brother, Motivation is what gets you started. Habit is
1:18
Speaker 1: what keeps you going. Talk about that.
1:22
Speaker 2: Absolutely. You know, the hardest part is getting into the gym.
1:27
Speaker 2: It's just it's just getting in there and then and
1:32
Speaker 2: then I think that once you get in there and
1:35
Speaker 2: you exercise, you start feeling good, and then I think
1:38
Speaker 2: it's a lot easier to stay there. But the hardest
1:41
Speaker 2: part is just getting your just making the effort and
1:44
Speaker 2: driving there and just doing it. And then once you
1:47
Speaker 2: start to do it, you start to start feeling the
1:50
Speaker 2: benefits from it. Immediately, you get more you have more energy.
1:54
Speaker 2: You know, there's so many positive benefits to it. But
1:57
Speaker 2: the hardest part just get get getting there, you know.
1:59
Speaker 2: And I think that's a problem in our society. We
2:03
Speaker 2: use the excuse we don't have enough time. You have
2:05
Speaker 2: twenty four hours in a day. Twenty four hours in
2:08
Speaker 2: a day. You're telling me you don't have thirty minutes
2:11
Speaker 2: or forty minutes to dedicate to taking care of your
2:15
Speaker 2: health like exercise. You got enough time to brush your
2:18
Speaker 2: teeth and take your shower, which is considered a hygiene.
2:21
Speaker 2: You haven't got You got enough power. You got enough
2:23
Speaker 2: time to uh to to do a nice little thirty
2:26
Speaker 2: minute walk or get your get your get your steps in,
2:29
Speaker 2: you know.
2:29
Speaker 1: Right, And it could be that simple. But somehow what
2:33
Speaker 1: what what I mean to ask you this question? What
2:35
Speaker 1: do you think stops people? Is it? Is it? I
2:38
Speaker 1: want to use the word laziness, but is what? What's
2:41
Speaker 1: what do you think slows them down?
2:44
Speaker 2: I think what slows them down is is I think
2:48
Speaker 2: people have a problem of prioritizing it in their life,
2:52
Speaker 2: like basically creating a time lit a time window that says,
2:57
Speaker 2: this is what I have to do at this time.
2:59
Speaker 2: You know, like you can't fit it in. You got
3:02
Speaker 2: to create that time and then build your schedule around it.
3:07
Speaker 2: And that's the problem. They don't prioritize it. And when
3:10
Speaker 2: if somebody tells you, Rashan, if you don't exercise every day,
3:16
Speaker 2: you know, three four days a week, and you don't
3:19
Speaker 2: do that regularly and consistently, you will you know, you
3:24
Speaker 2: will shorten your life and you'll die before you're sixty.
3:28
Speaker 2: Most people will do it. Okay, imagine if you posed
3:31
Speaker 2: it that way to someone, right, But people don't see
3:34
Speaker 2: the immediacy of how important exercise forget the vanity aspect.
3:38
Speaker 2: This is gonna save your life, your life. What happens
3:42
Speaker 2: is that when people decide to want to do this
3:45
Speaker 2: is because the doctor forces them to, because the blood
3:48
Speaker 2: work says, oh my god, you're a mess by this time.
3:52
Speaker 2: It's freaking too late, you know what I mean. So
3:55
Speaker 2: this isn't forget the vanity aspect. This is going to
3:58
Speaker 2: save your life. This is going to a lot. This
4:00
Speaker 2: is going to reduce the risk of all of those
4:03
Speaker 2: chronic health diseases that can come upon ourselves as we
4:07
Speaker 2: get older, especially people of color like you and me.
4:12
Speaker 2: I know I'm black and I know you black, So
4:13
Speaker 2: we've got the same type of chronic, high risk chronic
4:18
Speaker 2: health disease issues that come about for people of color.
4:22
Speaker 1: We hear this speech all the time. You know, we
4:25
Speaker 1: laugh at it, we joke around. We know we eating
4:28
Speaker 1: greasy food, we know we putting salt on grids. You know,
4:32
Speaker 1: we know it. But but somehow the jokey jokes got
4:37
Speaker 1: to stop. And so that's why this is the second
4:39
Speaker 1: time I brought Obi on the show. He's going to
4:42
Speaker 1: be on my show every quarter because what I don't
4:44
Speaker 1: want to do is when you're talking about money made conversation.
4:47
Speaker 1: Master class gets what you got to have your health right,
4:49
Speaker 1: You got to have a plan of action. And so
4:52
Speaker 1: I want to bring him on here periodically just to
4:54
Speaker 1: remind you this is this is food. This is the
4:57
Speaker 1: health part of remind you, Hey, I don't feel like
5:00
Speaker 1: you start feeling like it, do it? Set a short
5:02
Speaker 1: playing short of set goal. Let's talk about short goals,
5:05
Speaker 1: because that's what, like you said, some people can you know,
5:09
Speaker 1: because the you know, people want a six pack stomach,
5:12
Speaker 1: they won't oh, you know, they want muscles out of
5:14
Speaker 1: the gym, want to look like the rocks, you know,
5:16
Speaker 1: all that good stuff that really you know, I think
5:20
Speaker 1: that the image of what you trying to get to
5:22
Speaker 1: can really show you down, slow down to what you
5:24
Speaker 1: can be. And the bottom line, what you're talking about, Obie,
5:27
Speaker 1: is health. You're not talking about getting into some show.
5:32
Speaker 1: You talk about just healthy living and longevity.
5:35
Speaker 2: Correct, well, death definitely. Like I use probably a great analogy,
5:40
Speaker 2: like you know in basketball, I'm a basketball fan. You're
5:42
Speaker 2: a basketball fan, right, and a lot of times when
5:46
Speaker 2: when a when you see a team that maybe say
5:49
Speaker 2: they're down, you know, three to one in a series
5:52
Speaker 2: and then what does the coach does. The coach does
5:55
Speaker 2: what the coach tries to create for the team that says,
5:59
Speaker 2: you know what, let's just take it game by game.
6:02
Speaker 2: You know why, because the psychological aspect of how far
6:06
Speaker 2: they are behind it will mess with you. You take
6:09
Speaker 2: it game by game, small small increments. Forget you know,
6:14
Speaker 2: we're down three one. Let's just take it one game
6:16
Speaker 2: at a time, one game at a time. One get
6:19
Speaker 2: the same thing with weight loss, same thing with your health, small,
6:23
Speaker 2: small incremental goals. When you look at the big mountain
6:25
Speaker 2: and see how far you have to climb, it can
6:28
Speaker 2: be overwhelming and you're like, oh my god, that's too much.
6:31
Speaker 2: But when you smocus on those, focus on those small increments,
6:34
Speaker 2: those small, small, little milestones, all of a sudden you
6:37
Speaker 2: start chipping away, chipping away, chipping away, chipping away. It's
6:40
Speaker 2: no different than writing a book. If you ink a
6:44
Speaker 2: major book publishing deal and they say this is how
6:46
Speaker 2: much you're the fifty thousand word manuscript, you're like, oh
6:49
Speaker 2: my god, that's too much. But the way that you
6:51
Speaker 2: can psyche yourself out is just to focus focus on
6:54
Speaker 2: a chapter, focus on small increments, you know, focus on that,
6:58
Speaker 2: and then eventually what happened. Oh my god, I'm a
7:01
Speaker 2: fourth en. I'm two fourth tenth, I'm three fourth tent.
7:05
Speaker 2: Oh my god, I'm almost done. So when you look
7:08
Speaker 2: at the whole thing once you got to write, you're like,
7:10
Speaker 2: oh my god, this is overwhelming. It's no different than
7:13
Speaker 2: exercising and trying to get in good shape. Small, small
7:17
Speaker 2: milestone goals are good. You know.
7:20
Speaker 1: Oh, I definitely know what I did this time over.
7:24
Speaker 1: I went on my social and I let everybody know
7:27
Speaker 1: I was interviewing them, and so I asked them to
7:28
Speaker 1: send me some questions to ask you. So these questions
7:32
Speaker 1: come from a fan base, and the very first question
7:35
Speaker 1: is what is the quickest way to lose weight?
7:41
Speaker 2: You know what? That's the question that everyone wants to ask. Oh,
7:44
Speaker 2: zap it, No, I'm kidding, I'm everybody. But you know what,
7:49
Speaker 2: when people say what's the quickest way to lose weight,
7:52
Speaker 2: it's so funny because that's the society we live in
7:55
Speaker 2: right now. Everybody wants it so fast and so quick.
7:57
Speaker 2: But what I would just say is that the quickt
8:00
Speaker 2: way really to lose weight is to focus on eating,
8:07
Speaker 2: eating in a way that's going to allow you to
8:09
Speaker 2: be in a caloric deficit. So what does that mean?
8:11
Speaker 2: It means basically, it means burning more calories than what
8:15
Speaker 2: you're consuming. So you have to look at the exercise
8:18
Speaker 2: and the diet aspect as a as a mathematical formula.
8:21
Speaker 2: So it's gonna say, all right, I need to you know,
8:24
Speaker 2: the best easiest way for me to lose weight. I
8:27
Speaker 2: need to consume a low caloric diet that has me
8:31
Speaker 2: balanced between my carbs, my proteins, in my fat. And
8:35
Speaker 2: I also want to exercise that's going to allow me
8:39
Speaker 2: to be in a deficit. I want to exercise that's
8:41
Speaker 2: going to allow me to burn you know, five hundred
8:44
Speaker 2: calories you know a day. So for example, if you
8:47
Speaker 2: for for for someone to lose a pound a week,
8:51
Speaker 2: you have to be in a five hundred calorie a
8:54
Speaker 2: day deficit. Okay, to lose two pounds per week, you
8:59
Speaker 2: need to be in a thousand calorie a day definitely.
9:02
Speaker 1: Okay, let's let's stop right there. Let's writ to obi. Okay. See,
9:05
Speaker 1: see that's when you start losing me the calorie talk,
9:08
Speaker 1: because I don't know what I'm eating, so I just
9:10
Speaker 1: want to eat. I don't, I don't, I don't have
9:12
Speaker 1: time to be counting calories. So help me out with
9:16
Speaker 1: like you know, like you know, I get up in
9:18
Speaker 1: the morning and then I hear this statement that don't
9:21
Speaker 1: eat after six, don't eat after six, that's how you
9:24
Speaker 1: gain weight. So either help me with some of these
9:27
Speaker 1: myths if you just break it down a little bit,
9:29
Speaker 1: because those calories run me, that calorie talk run me
9:32
Speaker 1: off every time. Obie. I'm just gonna tell you that now.
9:36
Speaker 2: So what I would try to say is that if
9:38
Speaker 2: you're not gonna, if you're not if if calorie counting
9:43
Speaker 2: is kind of overwhelming for you, yes, I always say that.
9:47
Speaker 2: I would always say that your meal, that your meal
9:50
Speaker 2: should not exceed Your meal should not exceed the size
9:54
Speaker 2: of your two hands. Okay, your meal should not exceed
9:58
Speaker 2: the size of your two hands. And when you're eating
10:01
Speaker 2: your meal, you got your fruit, your vegetable and your protein. Okay,
10:06
Speaker 2: so you've got your fruit, your vegetables, and your protein.
10:11
Speaker 2: All right, So that is that that's the whole color
10:14
Speaker 2: the whole color diagram. You got your complex, you got
10:17
Speaker 2: your protein, you got your complex carb, and you've got
10:21
Speaker 2: your fibers carb, which is your fruits and vegetables. You
10:24
Speaker 2: got your brown rice, for example, you got your six
10:27
Speaker 2: ound chicken breast, and you got your apple and your broccoli.
10:31
Speaker 2: I could just do the math right now, and I
10:33
Speaker 2: could tell you that whole entire meal would not exceed
10:36
Speaker 2: four hundred and five hundred calories.
10:38
Speaker 1: Wow, that seems like a lot of phone.
10:41
Speaker 2: That would be about five hundred calories right there. So
10:44
Speaker 2: if you're getting three meals a day, and you're getting
10:46
Speaker 2: fifteen hundred calories a day, if you eat enough fruits,
10:50
Speaker 2: if you're eating if you're eating a cup of fruits
10:53
Speaker 2: and vegetables with meal, I can guarantee you that fifteen
10:57
Speaker 2: six hundred calories, fifteen sixteen hundred calories, what's gonna feel
11:00
Speaker 2: like three thousand cow It's gonna fill you up because
11:02
Speaker 2: of the fiber. All right, right, well, let's let we're
11:05
Speaker 2: gonna use it. We're gonna use that formula. Now we're
11:08
Speaker 2: gonna say we want you to walk every day and burn.
11:14
Speaker 2: Get your smart watch and try to burn at least
11:16
Speaker 2: five hundred calories a day, five hundred calories a day,
11:20
Speaker 2: four to five days a week. Okay, And if you're
11:25
Speaker 2: doing that along with what I'm sharing with you, consuming
11:29
Speaker 2: fifteen hundred and sixteen hundred calories per day with your
11:32
Speaker 2: fruits and vegetables with each meal, and your complex carb
11:36
Speaker 2: and your healthy protein with each meal. That is a
11:39
Speaker 2: balanced diet, and that is about That is a diet
11:42
Speaker 2: that has you consuming enough fiber with each meal. You're
11:46
Speaker 2: gonna feel so full, okay, because fiber is if fiber
11:51
Speaker 2: will fill you up, all right, it will fill you up.
11:54
Speaker 2: It's like an appetite suppressive.
11:56
Speaker 1: Right.
11:56
Speaker 2: That's why fruits and vegetables are are such a great
11:59
Speaker 2: It's a great way law schools because it's high in
12:01
Speaker 2: nutrients in its low calories.
12:03

12:30
Speaker 1: every since I stopped talking about calories. I've been in

13:49
Speaker 2: for any supplements to help assist you with your fitness
13:53
Speaker 2: and health and weight loss goals. So I'm not difficult
13:55
Speaker 2: to get a hold of.
13:56
Speaker 1: Okay, that's good. Well let's talk about those supplements because
13:59
Speaker 1: you had, because that's that's a major conversation that's going
14:02
Speaker 1: on nowadays and authorization that weight loss. When you say supplements,
14:06
Speaker 1: what do you mean when you say supplements out of
14:09
Speaker 1: your company brand?
14:11
Speaker 2: So the company that I created called Ethical Inc. At
14:15
Speaker 2: the natural science based health and Wellness brand. And the
14:17
Speaker 2: reason why I created this company with my friend and
14:21
Speaker 2: minority owner and business partner, More Chestnut, is because I
14:25
Speaker 2: have I've always had people emailing me asking me what
14:28
Speaker 2: supplement should I buy? And unfortunately, the supplement industry is
14:32
Speaker 2: not regulated by the FDA, so anybody can create a
14:35
Speaker 2: supplement in the garage. And so because of the unregulation
14:40
Speaker 2: of the dietary supplement markets, there's a lot of garbage
14:44
Speaker 2: out there. There's a lot of supplement companies that are
14:47
Speaker 2: putting in you know, bad ingredients fillers and it's just
14:52
Speaker 2: not clean. It's not ingredients that are healthy for you.
14:54
Speaker 2: And you don't know when you buy a product if
14:57
Speaker 2: what's in the supplement facts in the back of the
14:59
Speaker 2: bottle is actually what's actually in it. So it takes
15:03
Speaker 2: someone that is an honest business person, someone who cares
15:06
Speaker 2: about the consumer to make sure that what is advertised
15:11
Speaker 2: ingredient WHI ingredients wise in the back of the product
15:14
Speaker 2: is actually actually in that product. So, because I've spent
15:19
Speaker 2: my you know, half of my life invested in health
15:22
Speaker 2: and wellness as a as a you know, as an entrepreneur,
15:25
Speaker 2: as an expert, I felt like I could could really
15:29
Speaker 2: be a voice and be an authoritative figure in that
15:32
Speaker 2: space and create my own company and create products that
15:35
Speaker 2: I know truly will help people, but also be honest
15:39
Speaker 2: and say, if you're eating in a balanced way, you
15:42
Speaker 2: don't need any supplements. Now, how many supplement company owners
15:45
Speaker 2: are going to tell you that they're going to just
15:46
Speaker 2: continue to, Hey, buy my Product'm like, No, if you're
15:49
Speaker 2: eating in a balanced way and you're getting and you're
15:51
Speaker 2: eating getting all your nutrients from food, then you don't
15:54
Speaker 2: really need it. You don't need to take any supplements.
15:56
Speaker 2: And I try to be honest with people like that,
15:58
Speaker 2: you know.
15:59
Speaker 1: So yeah, well, you know the thing about it is
16:01
Speaker 1: that we're always trying to get the easy way out.
16:05
Speaker 1: Like you said, you have to be careful on what
16:07
Speaker 1: that easy way out is because a lot of things
16:10
Speaker 1: that people are taking that there aren't regularly get regulated,
16:12
Speaker 1: and you know, there might just be a version of
16:15
Speaker 1: X lack. This might be causing you to lose weight
16:18
Speaker 1: because you can't keep food in. And so those are
16:21
Speaker 1: out there on the market as die weight loss activities.
16:24
Speaker 1: And so thank you for having that honest conversation and
16:27
Speaker 1: sharing it with my audience. Now, I'm a guy who
16:30
Speaker 1: likes desserts. I'm just gonna let you know that over
16:33
Speaker 1: You know that about me. Now you know in your
16:37
Speaker 1: plan you mentioned, you know, the fruits, the fiber and
16:41
Speaker 1: the baked chicken and all that stuff. Can people eat
16:45
Speaker 1: desserts on your diet plan?
16:49
Speaker 2: They actually can? And I would say a dessert. I
16:54
Speaker 2: would say, you can eat a dessert maybe like and
16:57
Speaker 2: consider it a cheap mal like one the two days
17:00
Speaker 2: a week. But you're still following a healthy, balanced plan
17:05
Speaker 2: with a lot of different options to swap in and out.
17:09
Speaker 2: You're good. You could still savor your you know, your
17:12
Speaker 2: your sweet tooth with that dessert maybe once a week
17:16
Speaker 2: or even up to twice a week, you know, and
17:18
Speaker 2: and that's that's pretty good.
17:20
Speaker 1: You can okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, now you got
17:22
Speaker 1: me excited. Now do you stop talking about calories? Now
17:24
Speaker 1: you're talking about desserts now, Okay. There are seven days
17:29
Speaker 1: in a week, Obie, you say one to two days,
17:34
Speaker 1: I can eat dessert two days?
17:35
Speaker 2: Okay, one to two days you can actually eatser.
17:38
Speaker 1: Okay, that that Obie, which they went to brothers. They
17:41
Speaker 1: went to brothers because you know might I'm jumping up
17:43
Speaker 1: and down in the studio here listening to your diet plane.
17:47
Speaker 1: What do you call a dessert though, Obie? Okay, because
17:50
Speaker 1: because Krispy Krean, it's a dessert to me? Can I
17:54
Speaker 1: eat it? Krispy Krean?
17:55
Speaker 3: Just wipe down?
17:57
Speaker 2: This is this is what I would say. I'd say,
17:59
Speaker 2: I always look at it from a perspective of a
18:02
Speaker 2: dessert should not exceed the palm of your hands.
18:06
Speaker 1: Okay, okay, Oh man, you've got Michael Jordan hands down.
18:11
Speaker 2: I don't have to say half a half of your hand, Rashaan.
18:16
Speaker 1: Okay, okay, but you.
18:18
Speaker 2: Know what I'm saying is the portion size shouldn't exceed
18:21
Speaker 2: exceed your palm. It's like, because portion matters, and that's
18:26
Speaker 2: going to really dictate you know, how many calories your
18:30
Speaker 2: your your body is consuming, you know what I mean?
18:33
Speaker 2: And so I always say that like if if you're
18:35
Speaker 2: not in the calorie counting, which a lot of people aren't,
18:39
Speaker 2: then look at it and then try to use some
18:41
Speaker 2: type of uh visual you know fi visual description as
18:46
Speaker 2: far as what that portion is. And so I think
18:49
Speaker 2: always using your hands is a good people can identify
18:53
Speaker 2: with that. So palm of your hand should be enough.
18:56
Speaker 1: Well, Ok, first of all, you've allowed me one day
19:00
Speaker 1: to two days a week to eat a donut, So
19:03
Speaker 1: right now your boy happy? I'm happy. I'm just happy
19:06
Speaker 1: because you know, because you know, when you built your
19:10
Speaker 1: life on eating desserts, just being cut off it could
19:13
Speaker 1: be an ugly moment for me. Now. I had a
19:16
Speaker 1: question come in via email said basically, you know, you
19:20
Speaker 1: know all these about surgical procedures, how people lose weight
19:25
Speaker 1: just doing it naturally. How many pounds can a person
19:28
Speaker 1: lose in three months?
19:31
Speaker 2: I think in three months realistically you can lose anywhere
19:36
Speaker 2: from twenty five to thirty pounds in three months, and
19:41
Speaker 2: that is considered a healthy weight. You know, the CDC
19:44
Speaker 2: recommends that a healthy weight loss is one to two
19:47
Speaker 2: pounds per week. Okay, so twenty five twenty four to
19:52
Speaker 2: thirty pounds is realistic. I've had people do double that,
19:56
Speaker 2: but they were overachievers. So I always like to be
19:59
Speaker 2: really concerned it is, you know, and also.
20:02
Speaker 1: You want to be a person, you know, Like I said,
20:04
Speaker 1: they're overachievers. But I think that what I'm asking is,
20:07
Speaker 1: and you answering, and thank you for answering, is that
20:10
Speaker 1: when you do a diet, you just don't want to
20:12
Speaker 1: just stop it and all of a sudden the weight
20:14
Speaker 1: comes back, and you know, whatever program you on. Because
20:19
Speaker 1: what I've learned is that, and I've done the diet
20:22
Speaker 1: that he's talked about, you know, and and like I said,
20:25
Speaker 1: and he taught me portion eating. That's what I learned.
20:30
Speaker 1: That was the great takeaway that I still exist because
20:33
Speaker 1: people always ask me, obi, man, you eat a lot, man,
20:36
Speaker 1: But what a way come? What wait that we wait?
20:39
Speaker 2: That?
20:39
Speaker 1: Well? Because because you see me with a lot of food,
20:42
Speaker 1: doesn't if you finished. If you see me when the
20:44
Speaker 1: meal is over, it's still food on the plate. So
20:47
Speaker 1: I've learned portion eating is important. Can you discuss that
20:52
Speaker 1: with our audience.
20:54
Speaker 2: Yeah, portion eating is definitely important because it allows it
20:58
Speaker 2: if it will give you an idea of how much
21:02
Speaker 2: is required and needed to give your body the required
21:07
Speaker 2: energy it needs. And a lot of times if you
21:10
Speaker 2: don't know, if you're not understanding calories and that's just
21:14
Speaker 2: like too much for you, then having the portion will
21:17
Speaker 2: give you an idea Okay, this is this is what
21:20
Speaker 2: will supply me enough energy and enough calories without actually
21:24
Speaker 2: having to count it. That's why portion really matters. That's
21:27
Speaker 2: why I said, okay, two hands would be a meal,
21:31
Speaker 2: and for a cheat meal would be the palm of
21:33
Speaker 2: your hand, one palm of your hand. Right, So those
21:36
Speaker 2: are things that that that that people can say, Okay,
21:38
Speaker 2: I get that, I don't really understand the calorie count.
21:41
Speaker 2: I don't want to do all that, but I get
21:43
Speaker 2: the hands, I get the hands of the portion size.
21:45
Speaker 2: And what's interesting is that the one of the reasons
21:48
Speaker 2: why that you're you'll you'll be you know, people look
21:51
Speaker 2: at your your meal. My god, that's so much food,
21:54
Speaker 2: right right, and you think where where you know, where
21:56
Speaker 2: where are you gained? You're not gained in the way.
21:58
Speaker 2: What's happening? Well, probably the food that you're eating is
22:01
Speaker 2: highly nutrient dense. And when you're consuming highly nutrient dense food,
22:07
Speaker 2: the food is high in nutrients, but a lot of
22:10
Speaker 2: times it's low in calories. So you look at the
22:12
Speaker 2: food and it might look like it's a lot of calories,
22:14
Speaker 2: but it really isn't because the nutrients is so high
22:17
Speaker 2: but the calories is so low. That's why I say
22:19
Speaker 2: fruits and vegetables are the best weight loss foods because
22:22
Speaker 2: it looks like it's a lot of calories, but it
22:25
Speaker 2: really isn't. You can't overdose some broccoli, Okay, you can't
22:29
Speaker 2: over You can't all of a sudden just over consume
22:32
Speaker 2: broccoli and all of a sudden you're going to gain weight.
22:34
Speaker 2: I've never seen anybody get obest eating broccoli and spinach.
22:38
Speaker 2: The calories is so low it's impossible. Wow.
22:42
Speaker 1: Over this has been fantastic man. Thank you for like
22:45

23:08
Speaker 1: but along the way, you can't eat right and Obi,
23:12
Speaker 1: you broke it down to me today and I hopefully
23:14
Speaker 1: my audience heard what you told me that I'm excited about.
23:17
