| 0:00.0 | Before we dive into this episode, I want to take a moment to honor someone truly special. |
| 0:04.5 | Steve Cotter, a kettleball genius and innovator in the fitness world, recently passed away. |
| 0:10.1 | He wasn't just a pioneer in the kettleball space. |
| 0:12.7 | He was a teacher, a mentor, and someone who embodied strength, humility, and curiosity. |
| 0:20.7 | We were fortunate enough to have this conversation with him where he shared his wisdom, |
| 0:24.7 | his passion, and his unique perspective on martial arts, movement, and training. |
| 0:30.4 | This episode now feels even more important, a way to celebrate Steve's incredible legacy |
| 0:35.7 | and the impact he had on so many lives. |
| 0:39.1 | Our thoughts and prayers go out to Steve's family, friends, and everyone who was inspired by his work. |
