  Speaker 2: Baddi here bringing you the final episode of season three
• 0:28
  Speaker 2: Five Minute Friday, Wow Time Flies. Season three was the
• 0:34
  Speaker 2: first season where I implemented a twelve week kind of
• 0:38
  Speaker 2: production schedule, and it feels like it went by in
• 0:43
  Speaker 2: a complete breeze, but also like it lasted forever. I'm
• 0:47
  Speaker 2: sure that you know, being in the middle of a
• 0:49
  Speaker 2: global pandemic definitely has something to do with that. I usually,
• 0:55
  Speaker 2: as you know, come into these five minute Fridays having
• 0:58
  Speaker 2: a specific story to tell, a specific angle, so to speak.
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: But I figured that today I would.
• 1:06
  Speaker 2: Kind of just give you a little bit of a
• 1:08
  Speaker 2: recap and an honest insight into where I am after
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: the last three months.
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: Before I get.
• 1:17
  Speaker 2: Into that, I do want to take a moment to
• 1:19
  Speaker 2: thank my friends at Beam for sponsoring today's five Minute Friday.
• 1:25
  Speaker 2: If you have yet to hear about Beam, You've got
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: to listen up. Beam is a Boston based CBD company
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: that makes products that combine THHC free CBD with other
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: high quality ingredients. Founded by two ex professional athletes you
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: have heard from here on Hurdle before, Kevin and Matt.
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: They started the company with the idea that everyone should
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: have the chance to experience what better feels like, whether
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: you are sore or stressed. CBD can be key for
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: recovery and self care. I lately cannot get enough of

• 2:48
  Speaker 2: I am still in this apartment.
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: You know I was. I was messaging a friend earlier today.
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: It's it's a hard time because so many of us
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: want to get on with our lives right. We want
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: to see our friends, see our family, do all these
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: different things. We've been in a global pandemic since March,
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: and it's frustrating for me to watch people live their
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: lives completely as though nothing's going on. I feel as
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: though some of these behaviors are definitely impacted by where
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: your geographic location might be. Being in a major city,
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: I can confidently say that a lot of us have
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: been taking the coronavirus pandemic very very seriously. And so
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: while now I might be able to see people I
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: care about more regularly in a safe and socially distant way,
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: I'm not traveling like I used to, I'm not galllevanting
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: like I used to, and it's hard for me to
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: see other people that are doing that. Okay, small coronavirus
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: related rant done. I think I'm just really paranoid at
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: the moment that we might go back into the way
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: that things were in April and the beginning of May,
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: and so I'm just, you know, manifesting positivity, trying to
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: keep my attitude upbeat and push forward and to be real,
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: I think that's kind of how I have been approaching
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: a lot of things in my life lately. I am
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: grateful because from an athletic point of view, I have
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: been kind of performing better and feeling better than I
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: have in a really long time, and of course when
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: you say sentences like that, something always tends to pop up.
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: So at the beginning of this week, I want to
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: say I sprained my toe, which sounds like such a silly,
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: little insignificant thing, but I sprang my toe, and I
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: noticed about late in the afternoon on Monday that it
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: started to bother me, and that was weird. I talked
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: to my friend that's an orthopedic surgeon at Yale, and
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: she said that she really didn't think that my toe
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: injury of sorts had anything to do with my recent
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: activity outside of maybe hitting it on something, because the
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: sprain came out of nowhere days after I had been active. Anyway,
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: I'm sitting in my apartment on Tuesday morning, after springing, springing,
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: springing my toe on Monday, and I have one of
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: those moments that if you've ever been injured, you know
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: it so well. You're sitting there and you're wondering what
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: you're capable of, and you're starting to get a little frustrated,
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: and I just shook it before it even got to
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: the point where it could grab a hold of me.
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: And I sat there and I took a deep breath,
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: and I said to myself that you have the power
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: to choose optimism, to stay positive, to move forward and
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: focus on the things that you can control instead of
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: freaking out about the littlest things that you cannot. And
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: so that's what I did. I went on a nice,
• 6:01
  Speaker 2: calm bike ride, didn't irritate my toe at all, and
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: went to my favorite coffee spot, and just as the
• 6:09
  Speaker 2: you know, the hours and the days went by this week,
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: I got more to a place of gratitude and less
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: to a place of anger. This little thing, like many
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: of the things, the hurdles that we deal with during
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: our day to day, it comes, it came, it will go.
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: I will move forward. And that's that again. I feel
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: like this attitude, this it's gonna be okay, Breathe through it.
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: Mentality.
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: I've been really leaning into it a lot lately, whether
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: it's with a lot of deadlines or trying to figure
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: out the best way to communicate effectively with my audience,
• 6:45
  Speaker 2: whether it's in my personal relationships and my professional relationships.
• 6:49
  Speaker 2: I am just at a point now after another three months,
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: where I'm excited about the opportunity and not letting the
• 6:57
  Speaker 2: hurdles be the reason that I I get overly worked
• 7:01
  Speaker 2: up or down on myself. I'm really focusing on the positives.
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: I'm focusing on the growth, and I'm remembering that with
• 7:10
  Speaker 2: hard work and time, you will see the positive fruits
• 7:15
  Speaker 2: of your labor. I feel like I'm rambling at this point.
• 7:17
  Speaker 2: So if you're still listening, thank you. And also if
• 7:21
  Speaker 2: you're listening and you can relate, I would love for
• 7:23

• 7:38
  Speaker 2: when you hit your own hurdles, focus on the positives,
• 7:42

• 9:08
  Speaker 2: delivering pizza Still, he shouldn't be working like this, So
• 9:11
