    First and foremost... give Dillon a raise. Amazing stuff from him as always. That dude is talented beyond limits.
    The part 8 minutes in where you talk about the split second during squats where you question why you do this and how you choose to win that conversation within yourself - you need to find a way to bottle and sell that prospective to the masses.
    So good man. Keep it up. And thanks for all you give to your channel.
