0:00.0 | Hi guys, welcome back. Before we get into the episode, just a quick reminder that Empowered |
0:07.0 | nutrition supplements are still 20% off that will go through Monday. So I am going to put |
0:15.2 | the link in the description with the code, Empower 20, that saves 20% off everything, including the protein powder that is already on sale. |
0:24.8 | So it makes it a crazy deal on that. |
