(Transcribed by TurboScribe.ai. Go Unlimited to remove this message.) I've helped people with migraine headaches get out of pain, stop having them.
00:00:04.200 --> 00:00:06.360
I saved someone from having carpal tunnel surgery.
00:00:06.879 --> 00:00:07.118
Wow.
00:00:07.259 --> 00:00:09.560
I've helped people with plantar fasciitis.
00:00:10.099 --> 00:00:15.279
I helped a teenager with scoliosis get rid of it, like eliminated, she's no longer in pain.
00:00:15.480 --> 00:00:23.760
I've helped people with just random calf pains, shoulder pains that were so bad they were keeping them awake at night, they couldn't sleep, they had so much pain.
00:00:24.320 --> 00:00:26.640
I even helped someone with degenerative nerve disease.
00:00:27.859 --> 00:00:34.960
Welcome to another episode of Struggles presented by NCBI, the podcast where we navigate challenges together.
00:00:40.600 --> 00:00:43.679
All right, welcome to this episode of the Struggles podcast.
00:00:44.219 --> 00:00:45.380
I'm Brian Bukowski.
00:00:46.119 --> 00:00:47.840
Today, I'm sitting with Dan Cohen.
00:00:49.119 --> 00:00:50.280
Good to have you here, Dan.
00:00:50.479 --> 00:00:51.679
Thank you for having me, Brian.
00:00:51.899 --> 00:00:52.340
Absolutely.
00:00:52.700 --> 00:00:59.880
So I know one of the struggles that you talk about from time to time is that people don't really know who you are or what exactly you do.
00:00:59.960 --> 00:01:02.920
Could you tell me a little bit about that and what that really means?
00:01:04.319 --> 00:01:05.019
Of course, Brian.
00:01:05.459 --> 00:01:06.780
So my name is Dan Cohen.
00:01:06.920 --> 00:01:13.659
I'm owner of More To Give Fitness, and I specialize at helping to eliminate pain and injury through advanced stretching techniques.
00:01:14.200 --> 00:01:16.400
And most people think, well, stretching.
00:01:16.540 --> 00:01:19.219
I stretch, I do yoga, I go to stretch labs.
00:01:19.700 --> 00:01:23.579
But what I do is completely different from what yoga and stretch labs do.
00:01:23.680 --> 00:01:24.060
Okay.
00:01:24.840 --> 00:01:26.939
What I do is stretching to a standard.
00:01:27.379 --> 00:01:29.379
I have a standard for every stretch that I do.
00:01:30.019 --> 00:01:33.500
Yoga doesn't have a standard and stretch labs doesn't have a standard.
00:01:33.819 --> 00:01:37.859
You need a standard so you have a goal, something to aim for, something to work towards.
00:01:39.060 --> 00:01:49.040
So a quick question on that, that standard, is that a standard per individual that you're working with, or is that a standard that is a baseline for every single person that you'd ever work with?
00:01:49.519 --> 00:01:52.019
So it's a baseline for every single person I work with.
00:01:52.159 --> 00:01:52.340
Okay.
00:01:52.519 --> 00:01:54.560
So each person has their own individual baseline?
00:01:55.239 --> 00:02:01.379
Well, everyone has their own starting point, but everyone has an overall standard that they should be at.
00:02:01.739 --> 00:02:02.219
Oh, okay.
00:02:02.719 --> 00:02:04.519
Do you want to expound on that a little bit more?
00:02:05.280 --> 00:02:05.760
Sure.
00:02:06.040 --> 00:02:10.099
One standard I have is for arms behind and up.
00:02:11.780 --> 00:02:15.259
Everyone should be able to get their arms up to 120 degrees.
00:02:15.419 --> 00:02:17.039
That's approximately in line with their head.
00:02:17.280 --> 00:02:17.599
Okay.
00:02:18.000 --> 00:02:21.560
That's how much flexibility there should be in the bicep tendons.
00:02:22.139 --> 00:02:22.240
Okay.
00:02:22.300 --> 00:02:24.360
So how many people typically struggle with that?
00:02:24.900 --> 00:02:26.639
Every single person, right?
00:02:26.639 --> 00:02:29.840
I've only seen one person hit the standard first time when I worked with them.
00:02:30.039 --> 00:02:32.340
And were they already a major athlete probably?
00:02:33.479 --> 00:02:38.080
No, he was just some guy who was very genetically blessed with flexibility.
00:02:38.599 --> 00:02:39.000
Interesting.
00:02:39.580 --> 00:02:39.979
Interesting.
00:02:41.000 --> 00:02:44.099
So yeah, to those points, who is it that you work with?
00:02:44.139 --> 00:02:45.520
Could you tell us a little bit about that?
00:02:45.580 --> 00:02:47.360
Who are the people that you can maybe help the most?
00:02:48.000 --> 00:02:55.319
Honestly, I can help people of all ages, from high school people all the way up to Grandma Josephine.
00:02:55.659 --> 00:02:55.780
Okay.
00:02:55.860 --> 00:03:08.039
All ages, whether you're an athlete, stay-at-home person, average day-to-day worker, high-level athlete or entrepreneur, businessperson, CEO, I can help anyone.
00:03:08.819 --> 00:03:09.099
Okay.
00:03:09.400 --> 00:03:10.060
That's good.
00:03:10.960 --> 00:03:19.439
So I know you talked a little bit in the past to me about the locations, the geolocation for that.
00:03:19.939 --> 00:03:21.300
Can you speak to that a little bit?
00:03:22.560 --> 00:03:29.439
Well, I work out of a gym in North Royalton, and I can also do virtual sessions and house calls, if needed.
00:03:30.319 --> 00:03:30.680
Okay.
00:03:30.719 --> 00:03:37.039
And come to the person if they're, say, very far and they don't want to make the drive to me, I can come to them.
00:03:37.400 --> 00:03:37.639
Okay.
00:03:37.659 --> 00:03:40.699
Or if maybe they're just in that much pain and they can't really get to me.
00:03:40.900 --> 00:03:41.060
Okay.
00:03:41.400 --> 00:03:44.699
Virtual sessions that work nearly as good as an in-person session.
00:03:44.699 --> 00:03:45.439
Excellent.
00:03:45.659 --> 00:03:46.080
Excellent.
00:03:46.280 --> 00:03:46.500
Yeah.
00:03:47.740 --> 00:03:52.919
Are those something that you do quite often, those virtual sessions, or is it mostly in-person that you do?
00:03:53.180 --> 00:03:54.840
Mostly in-person up until this point.
00:03:54.979 --> 00:03:55.259
Sure.
00:03:56.360 --> 00:03:59.639

Our passion is inspiring clients to create their BOM Image.
00:04:31.740 --> 00:04:42.139
And I think I've asked you this before, but if you could tell us here, are you able to do any kind of group sessions where maybe it's more than just one individual that you're working with at a time?
00:04:43.220 --> 00:04:55.879
So far, I've only done one-to-one sessions, but I'm open to the idea of doing group sessions for, say, like a school or a business that wants to do like a, say, healthcare program for their employees.
00:04:56.500 --> 00:04:56.819
Excellent.
00:04:57.120 --> 00:04:57.500
Excellent.
00:04:57.939 --> 00:05:03.540
Is there anything else that you'd want to talk about to that end, as far as your programs or things of that nature?
00:05:08.399 --> 00:05:16.079
I guess the biggest thing is just people don't really know that they have another option outside of like traditional healthcare.
00:05:16.240 --> 00:05:26.259
People think, well, I'm stuck with this injury, this ache or pain I've had since college, or this nagging thing that's been developing over the years, and I'm here to tell people that, no, you have another option.
00:05:26.420 --> 00:05:34.399
You can come see me, and I can help stretch the problem away, help stretch you to the standard, because what do most injuries feel like when you have an injury?
00:05:34.699 --> 00:05:35.500
It feels tight.
00:05:35.980 --> 00:05:36.079
Right.
00:05:36.240 --> 00:05:48.699
So people just need to stretch, and through a structured system, they have a goalpost, something they can aim for in order to help eliminate the ache or pain, and it doesn't even necessarily have to be something minor.
00:05:48.819 --> 00:05:49.639
It can be something major.
00:05:49.800 --> 00:05:53.800
I've helped people with migraine headaches get out of pain, stop having them.
00:05:53.899 --> 00:05:56.100
I saved someone from having carpal tunnel surgery.
00:05:56.740 --> 00:05:56.860
Wow.
00:05:57.000 --> 00:05:59.279
I've helped people with plantar fasciitis.
00:05:59.680 --> 00:06:04.000
I helped a teenager with scoliosis get rid of it, like eliminate it.
00:06:04.040 --> 00:06:05.000
She's no longer in pain.
00:06:05.180 --> 00:06:11.980
I've helped people with just random calf pains, shoulder pains that were so bad they were keeping them awake at night.
00:06:12.060 --> 00:06:12.579
They couldn't sleep.
00:06:12.680 --> 00:06:13.500
They're in so much pain.
00:06:14.279 --> 00:06:17.819
I even helped someone with degenerative nerve disease, just stretching.
00:06:18.399 --> 00:06:18.500
Okay.
00:06:18.959 --> 00:06:23.420
And obviously, what you do is pretty rare, pretty different than what most people know.
00:06:23.879 --> 00:06:33.920
Can you tell me a little bit about how you got into that or where that came from and what it means to you to now be able to help people in a way that maybe they didn't even know could be helped?
00:06:34.860 --> 00:06:35.160
Sure, Brian.
00:06:35.279 --> 00:06:43.740
So it's very near and dear to me because I was grown up an athlete, and I also developed an injury that stretching fixed for me.
00:06:43.779 --> 00:06:49.620
So it's very near and dear to my heart because I had this nagging ankle issue that doctors couldn't fix.
00:06:49.660 --> 00:06:55.879
I was competing in the sport of fencing, and I had this pain for years and went to multiple doctors at the Cleveland Clinic.
00:06:56.100 --> 00:06:57.540
They didn't know what was going on.
00:06:57.980 --> 00:06:59.819
Talked to pretty much anybody with an ankle problem.
00:06:59.959 --> 00:07:01.220
They didn't know what was going on.
00:07:01.459 --> 00:07:05.740
So I found one person here in Ohio who does a little bit of stretching.
00:07:05.980 --> 00:07:09.240
Not exactly what I do, but taught me the value of stretching.
00:07:09.740 --> 00:07:12.759
And apparently, I had this one muscle in the front of my shin here.
00:07:12.860 --> 00:07:14.399
It's responsible for pulling your toes up.
00:07:14.759 --> 00:07:15.680
It was locked up.
00:07:15.759 --> 00:07:17.339
He got it to release in one session.
00:07:17.579 --> 00:07:18.480
Years of ankle pain.
00:07:19.439 --> 00:07:21.360
And it's not like I was old.
00:07:21.420 --> 00:07:25.220
I mean, I'm 29 now, but when I had the injury, I was in my late teens, early 20s.
00:07:25.319 --> 00:07:30.399
Like on paper, my body shouldn't be breaking down this early where I knew something was wrong.
00:07:30.519 --> 00:07:35.139
And quite frankly, I wasn't satisfied with the answers I was getting from the medical field.
00:07:35.920 --> 00:07:36.019
Yeah.
00:07:36.019 --> 00:07:38.660
So you kind of created it on your own after reaching out to him.
00:07:39.139 --> 00:07:39.420
Yes.
00:07:39.899 --> 00:07:40.079
Wow.
00:07:40.220 --> 00:07:41.019
That's awesome.
00:07:41.360 --> 00:07:46.480
And do you have any specialized training that you've done to get to where you're at and figure out these baselines?
00:07:47.279 --> 00:07:47.579
Yes.
00:07:47.660 --> 00:07:50.120
So I'm certified with Ultimate Human Performance.
00:07:50.120 --> 00:07:53.560
That's a company founded by a man named Joe Hippensteel.
00:07:54.000 --> 00:07:56.060
He lives out in San Diego, California.
00:07:56.300 --> 00:08:01.600
He works with the Navy SEALs, professional athletes, and people of any and all ages.
00:08:02.019 --> 00:08:04.920
People may even have heard of David Goggins.
00:08:05.139 --> 00:08:06.779
He's the one who helped fix David Goggins.
00:08:07.360 --> 00:08:07.939
That's awesome.
00:08:08.319 --> 00:08:11.480
I loved it when you told me that originally, and it's great to hear that again.
00:08:11.620 --> 00:08:14.259
But yeah, when people need real help, it's amazing.
00:08:14.399 --> 00:08:14.500
Yeah.
00:08:14.540 --> 00:08:16.399
Those are the things that you can do to get that done.
00:08:17.339 --> 00:08:22.519
What would be the best way for someone to get in contact with you so they can see if they can get help from you?
00:08:23.259 --> 00:08:31.918
Well, the best way would be either call my cell phone, text it, or email me at moretogivfitness.gmail.com.
00:08:32.379 --> 00:08:32.480
Yeah.
00:08:32.519 --> 00:08:33.279
Can you say that once again?
00:08:33.899 --> 00:08:40.418
So my company name is moretogivfitness, LLC, at gmail.com.
00:08:40.600 --> 00:08:41.700
It's a long email, I know.
00:08:41.820 --> 00:08:43.038
So just call or text me.
00:08:43.720 --> 00:08:44.059
Excellent.
00:08:44.279 --> 00:08:44.620
Excellent.
00:08:44.799 --> 00:08:47.360
So we'll have some stuff with the notes as well.
00:08:47.480 --> 00:08:53.559
But it's great to have you here and talk a little bit about the struggles that you helped solve and what got you to where you are today.
00:08:53.639 --> 00:08:54.179
So thanks, Dan.
00:08:54.500 --> 00:08:55.360
Thanks for having me, Brian.

00:00:06.879 --> 00:00:07.118

I've helped people with plantar fasciitis.
00:00:10.099 --> 00:00:15.279

Welcome to another episode of Struggles presented by NCBI, the podcast where we navigate challenges together.
00:00:40.600 --> 00:00:43.679
All right, welcome to this episode of the Struggles podcast.
00:00:44.219 --> 00:00:45.380
I'm Brian Bukowski.
00:00:46.119 --> 00:00:47.840
Today, I'm sitting with Dan Cohen.
00:00:49.119 --> 00:00:50.280
Good to have you here, Dan.
00:00:50.479 --> 00:00:51.679
Thank you for having me, Brian.
00:00:51.899 --> 00:00:52.340
Absolutely.
00:00:52.700 --> 00:00:59.880
So I know one of the struggles that you talk about from time to time is that people don't really know who you are or what exactly you do.
00:00:59.960 --> 00:01:02.920
Could you tell me a little bit about that and what that really means?
00:01:04.319 --> 00:01:05.019
Of course, Brian.
00:01:05.459 --> 00:01:06.780
So my name is Dan Cohen.
00:01:06.920 --> 00:01:13.659
I'm owner of More To Give Fitness, and I specialize at helping to eliminate pain and injury through advanced stretching techniques.
00:01:14.200 --> 00:01:16.400
And most people think, well, stretching.
00:01:16.540 --> 00:01:19.219
I stretch, I do yoga, I go to stretch labs.
00:01:19.700 --> 00:01:23.579
But what I do is completely different from what yoga and stretch labs do.
00:01:23.680 --> 00:01:24.060
Okay.
00:01:24.840 --> 00:01:26.939
What I do is stretching to a standard.
00:01:27.379 --> 00:01:29.379
I have a standard for every stretch that I do.
00:01:30.019 --> 00:01:33.500
Yoga doesn't have a standard and stretch labs doesn't have a standard.
00:01:33.819 --> 00:01:37.859
You need a standard so you have a goal, something to aim for, something to work towards.
00:01:39.060 --> 00:01:49.040
So a quick question on that, that standard, is that a standard per individual that you're working with, or is that a standard that is a baseline for every single person that you'd ever work with?
00:01:49.519 --> 00:01:52.019
So it's a baseline for every single person I work with.
00:01:52.159 --> 00:01:52.340
Okay.
00:01:52.519 --> 00:01:54.560
So each person has their own individual baseline?
00:01:55.239 --> 00:02:01.379
Well, everyone has their own starting point, but everyone has an overall standard that they should be at.
00:02:01.739 --> 00:02:02.219
Oh, okay.
00:02:02.719 --> 00:02:04.519
Do you want to expound on that a little bit more?
00:02:05.280 --> 00:02:05.760
Sure.
00:02:06.040 --> 00:02:10.099
One standard I have is for arms behind and up.
00:02:11.780 --> 00:02:15.259
Everyone should be able to get their arms up to 120 degrees.
00:02:15.419 --> 00:02:17.039
That's approximately in line with their head.
00:02:17.280 --> 00:02:17.599
Okay.
00:02:18.000 --> 00:02:21.560
That's how much flexibility there should be in the bicep tendons.
00:02:22.139 --> 00:02:22.240
Okay.
00:02:22.300 --> 00:02:24.360
So how many people typically struggle with that?
00:02:24.900 --> 00:02:26.639
Every single person, right?
00:02:26.639 --> 00:02:29.840
I've only seen one person hit the standard first time when I worked with them.
00:02:30.039 --> 00:02:32.340
And were they already a major athlete probably?
00:02:33.479 --> 00:02:38.080
No, he was just some guy who was very genetically blessed with flexibility.
00:02:38.599 --> 00:02:39.000
Interesting.
00:02:39.580 --> 00:02:39.979
Interesting.
00:02:41.000 --> 00:02:44.099
So yeah, to those points, who is it that you work with?
00:02:44.139 --> 00:02:45.520
Could you tell us a little bit about that?
00:02:45.580 --> 00:02:47.360
Who are the people that you can maybe help the most?
00:02:48.000 --> 00:02:55.319
Honestly, I can help people of all ages, from high school people all the way up to Grandma Josephine.
00:02:55.659 --> 00:02:55.780
Okay.
00:02:55.860 --> 00:03:08.039
All ages, whether you're an athlete, stay-at-home person, average day-to-day worker, high-level athlete or entrepreneur, businessperson, CEO, I can help anyone.
00:03:08.819 --> 00:03:09.099
Okay.
00:03:09.400 --> 00:03:10.060
That's good.
00:03:10.960 --> 00:03:19.439
So I know you talked a little bit in the past to me about the locations, the geolocation for that.
00:03:19.939 --> 00:03:21.300
Can you speak to that a little bit?
00:03:22.560 --> 00:03:29.439
Well, I work out of a gym in North Royalton, and I can also do virtual sessions and house calls, if needed.
00:03:30.319 --> 00:03:30.680
Okay.
00:03:30.719 --> 00:03:37.039
And come to the person if they're, say, very far and they don't want to make the drive to me, I can come to them.
00:03:37.400 --> 00:03:37.639
Okay.
00:03:37.659 --> 00:03:40.699
Or if maybe they're just in that much pain and they can't really get to me.
00:03:40.900 --> 00:03:41.060
Okay.
00:03:41.400 --> 00:03:44.699
Virtual sessions that work nearly as good as an in-person session.
00:03:44.699 --> 00:03:45.439
Excellent.
00:03:45.659 --> 00:03:46.080
Excellent.
00:03:46.280 --> 00:03:46.500
Yeah.
00:03:47.740 --> 00:03:52.919
Are those something that you do quite often, those virtual sessions, or is it mostly in-person that you do?
00:03:53.180 --> 00:03:54.840
Mostly in-person up until this point.
00:03:54.979 --> 00:03:55.259
Sure.
00:03:56.360 --> 00:03:59.639

Our passion is inspiring clients to create their BOM Image.
00:04:31.740 --> 00:04:42.139
And I think I've asked you this before, but if you could tell us here, are you able to do any kind of group sessions where maybe it's more than just one individual that you're working with at a time?
00:04:43.220 --> 00:04:55.879
So far, I've only done one-to-one sessions, but I'm open to the idea of doing group sessions for, say, like a school or a business that wants to do like a, say, healthcare program for their employees.
00:04:56.500 --> 00:04:56.819
Excellent.
00:04:57.120 --> 00:04:57.500
Excellent.
00:04:57.939 --> 00:05:03.540
Is there anything else that you'd want to talk about to that end, as far as your programs or things of that nature?
00:05:08.399 --> 00:05:16.079
I guess the biggest thing is just people don't really know that they have another option outside of like traditional healthcare.
00:05:16.240 --> 00:05:26.259
People think, well, I'm stuck with this injury, this ache or pain I've had since college, or this nagging thing that's been developing over the years, and I'm here to tell people that, no, you have another option.
00:05:26.420 --> 00:05:34.399
You can come see me, and I can help stretch the problem away, help stretch you to the standard, because what do most injuries feel like when you have an injury?
00:05:34.699 --> 00:05:35.500
It feels tight.
00:05:35.980 --> 00:05:36.079
Right.
00:05:36.240 --> 00:05:48.699
So people just need to stretch, and through a structured system, they have a goalpost, something they can aim for in order to help eliminate the ache or pain, and it doesn't even necessarily have to be something minor.
00:05:48.819 --> 00:05:49.639
It can be something major.
00:05:49.800 --> 00:05:53.800
I've helped people with migraine headaches get out of pain, stop having them.
00:05:53.899 --> 00:05:56.100
I saved someone from having carpal tunnel surgery.
00:05:56.740 --> 00:05:56.860
Wow.
00:05:57.000 --> 00:05:59.279
I've helped people with plantar fasciitis.
00:05:59.680 --> 00:06:04.000
I helped a teenager with scoliosis get rid of it, like eliminate it.
00:06:04.040 --> 00:06:05.000
She's no longer in pain.
00:06:05.180 --> 00:06:11.980
I've helped people with just random calf pains, shoulder pains that were so bad they were keeping them awake at night.
00:06:12.060 --> 00:06:12.579
They couldn't sleep.
00:06:12.680 --> 00:06:13.500
They're in so much pain.
00:06:14.279 --> 00:06:17.819
I even helped someone with degenerative nerve disease, just stretching.
00:06:18.399 --> 00:06:18.500
Okay.
00:06:18.959 --> 00:06:23.420
And obviously, what you do is pretty rare, pretty different than what most people know.
00:06:23.879 --> 00:06:33.920
Can you tell me a little bit about how you got into that or where that came from and what it means to you to now be able to help people in a way that maybe they didn't even know could be helped?
00:06:34.860 --> 00:06:35.160
Sure, Brian.
00:06:35.279 --> 00:06:43.740
So it's very near and dear to me because I was grown up an athlete, and I also developed an injury that stretching fixed for me.
00:06:43.779 --> 00:06:49.620
So it's very near and dear to my heart because I had this nagging ankle issue that doctors couldn't fix.
00:06:49.660 --> 00:06:55.879
I was competing in the sport of fencing, and I had this pain for years and went to multiple doctors at the Cleveland Clinic.
00:06:56.100 --> 00:06:57.540
They didn't know what was going on.
00:06:57.980 --> 00:06:59.819
Talked to pretty much anybody with an ankle problem.
00:06:59.959 --> 00:07:01.220
They didn't know what was going on.
00:07:01.459 --> 00:07:05.740
So I found one person here in Ohio who does a little bit of stretching.
00:07:05.980 --> 00:07:09.240
Not exactly what I do, but taught me the value of stretching.
00:07:09.740 --> 00:07:12.759
And apparently, I had this one muscle in the front of my shin here.
00:07:12.860 --> 00:07:14.399
It's responsible for pulling your toes up.
00:07:14.759 --> 00:07:15.680
It was locked up.
00:07:15.759 --> 00:07:17.339
He got it to release in one session.
00:07:17.579 --> 00:07:18.480
Years of ankle pain.
00:07:19.439 --> 00:07:21.360
And it's not like I was old.
00:07:21.420 --> 00:07:25.220
I mean, I'm 29 now, but when I had the injury, I was in my late teens, early 20s.
00:07:25.319 --> 00:07:30.399
Like on paper, my body shouldn't be breaking down this early where I knew something was wrong.
00:07:30.519 --> 00:07:35.139
And quite frankly, I wasn't satisfied with the answers I was getting from the medical field.
00:07:35.920 --> 00:07:36.019
Yeah.
00:07:36.019 --> 00:07:38.660
So you kind of created it on your own after reaching out to him.
00:07:39.139 --> 00:07:39.420
Yes.
00:07:39.899 --> 00:07:40.079
Wow.
00:07:40.220 --> 00:07:41.019
That's awesome.
00:07:41.360 --> 00:07:46.480
And do you have any specialized training that you've done to get to where you're at and figure out these baselines?
00:07:47.279 --> 00:07:47.579
Yes.
00:07:47.660 --> 00:07:50.120
So I'm certified with Ultimate Human Performance.
00:07:50.120 --> 00:07:53.560
That's a company founded by a man named Joe Hippensteel.
00:07:54.000 --> 00:07:56.060
He lives out in San Diego, California.
00:07:56.300 --> 00:08:01.600
He works with the Navy SEALs, professional athletes, and people of any and all ages.
00:08:02.019 --> 00:08:04.920
People may even have heard of David Goggins.
00:08:05.139 --> 00:08:06.779
He's the one who helped fix David Goggins.
00:08:07.360 --> 00:08:07.939
That's awesome.
00:08:08.319 --> 00:08:11.480
I loved it when you told me that originally, and it's great to hear that again.
00:08:11.620 --> 00:08:14.259
But yeah, when people need real help, it's amazing.
00:08:14.399 --> 00:08:14.500
Yeah.
00:08:14.540 --> 00:08:16.399
Those are the things that you can do to get that done.
00:08:17.339 --> 00:08:22.519
What would be the best way for someone to get in contact with you so they can see if they can get help from you?
00:08:23.259 --> 00:08:31.918
Well, the best way would be either call my cell phone, text it, or email me at moretogivfitness.gmail.com.
00:08:32.379 --> 00:08:32.480
Yeah.
00:08:32.519 --> 00:08:33.279
Can you say that once again?
00:08:33.899 --> 00:08:40.418
So my company name is moretogivfitness, LLC, at gmail.com.
00:08:40.600 --> 00:08:41.700
It's a long email, I know.
00:08:41.820 --> 00:08:43.038
So just call or text me.
00:08:43.720 --> 00:08:44.059
Excellent.
00:08:44.279 --> 00:08:44.620
Excellent.
00:08:44.799 --> 00:08:47.360
So we'll have some stuff with the notes as well.
00:08:47.480 --> 00:08:53.559
But it's great to have you here and talk a little bit about the struggles that you helped solve and what got you to where you are today.
00:08:53.639 --> 00:08:54.179
So thanks, Dan.
00:08:54.500 --> 00:08:55.360
Thanks for having me, Brian.
00:08:55.899 --> 00:09:03.919
