  Speaker 1: Taking a Walk Nashville.
• 0:02
  Speaker 2: Hi everyone, this is Sarah Harrelson, your host of Taking
• 0:05
  Speaker 2: a Walk Nashville, and today I'm here in Cool Springs
• 0:09
  Speaker 2: in the Franklin area at the common Ground Gym. It's
• 0:13
  Speaker 2: owned by celebrity trainer Gunner Peterson and Gunner is one
• 0:18
  Speaker 2: of the most sought after trainers in the world, working
• 0:21
  Speaker 2: with and training a list celebrities such as the Kardashians
• 0:25
  Speaker 2: and the Jenner family, Sylvester Stallone, athletes like Tom Brady
• 0:29
  Speaker 2: and Mike Tyson, and many many more. Gunner served as
• 0:33
  Speaker 2: the director of Strength and Endurance for the La Lakers
• 0:37
  Speaker 2: from twenty seventeen to twenty twenty, and he just partnered
• 0:41
  Speaker 2: with the innovative red light therapy fitness company sole Basium.
• 0:46
  Speaker 2: Also joining here today remotely from Australia is Bradley Carden,
• 0:51
  Speaker 2: the CEO of soul Basium. So thank you both for
• 0:55
  Speaker 2: being here today in person and on zoom. I definitely
• 0:59
  Speaker 2: want to talk about red light therapy and these great products.
• 1:03
  Speaker 3: In a minute.
• 1:04
  Speaker 2: But this is a very fun and special episode for
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: Taking a Walk in Nashville because our listeners get to
• 1:11
  Speaker 2: hear both music and fitness today.
• 1:14
  Speaker 3: As a conversation, Gunner, Can you start off.
• 1:17
  Speaker 2: By telling our listeners how you transitioned from working and
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: living in LA to moving to Nashville.
• 1:24
  Speaker 4: Uh, the hardest part was getting my wife on board.
• 1:29
  Speaker 4: It was it was time. There was there was a
• 1:31
  Speaker 4: lead up to it. Obviously, my oldest daughter was going
• 1:35
  Speaker 4: off to college. The other two had gone on. I
• 1:37
  Speaker 4: had two little ones. The lease in my gym was
• 1:40
  Speaker 4: about to expire. LA was going through its growing pains
• 1:44
  Speaker 4: or shrinking pains, depending on how you saw it, in
• 1:48
  Speaker 4: twenty twenty, twenty twenty one, twenty twenty two, and it
• 1:50
  Speaker 4: was just time and things lined up, and I thought
• 1:54
  Speaker 4: we looked at a lot of different places, but Nashville
• 1:57
  Speaker 4: checks a lot of boxes. It has obviously its own industry.
• 2:01
  Speaker 4: It has an international airport. My parents have a farm
• 2:04
  Speaker 4: about two and a half hours from here. They were
• 2:07
  Speaker 4: as all of us, you know, are getting older. But
• 2:11
  Speaker 4: I just thought it's the right time to make a move.
• 2:13
  Speaker 4: And eventually my wife got on board and we're all
• 2:17
  Speaker 4: very happy here. So it was just everything aligned and
• 2:21
  Speaker 4: it was time to do. Time to make a move. Yeah,
• 2:23
  Speaker 4: different chapters in life exactly.
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: Yeah, so many people have been moving from the West
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: coast to Nashville and other than you know athletes, You've
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: worked with a lot of musicians and artists. To Jennifer
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: Lopez for an example, why do you think it's important
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: for entertainers to stay fit while they're touring?
• 2:43
  Speaker 4: Entertainers and athletes, there's a there's a nexus right where
• 2:47
  Speaker 4: where those worlds collide, and I think they are inextricably
• 2:51
  Speaker 4: linked forever and always will be, regardless of AI. I
• 2:56
  Speaker 4: think that they have to be able to perform at
• 2:59
  Speaker 4: a high level much the way an athlete does. They
• 3:02
  Speaker 4: peak for certain projects, whether it's film tour and the
• 3:08
  Speaker 4: same way an athlete does. And sometimes their season is
• 3:12
  Speaker 4: even longer than an athlete season, So a lot of
• 3:16
  Speaker 4: similarities and working with them also depending on what kind
• 3:19
  Speaker 4: of act it is. Is it a high energy act
• 3:21
  Speaker 4: that is a ton of physical movement and dance and choreography,
• 3:26
  Speaker 4: or is it a standing in front of a microphone
• 3:30
  Speaker 4: barely moving but belting out something from deep within. There
• 3:36
  Speaker 4: are different demands physically which all require training, recovery, proper nutrition, supplementation, hydration,
• 3:46
  Speaker 4: all the things that go along with that, and there's
• 3:49
  Speaker 4: just to me, there's no separation. So you're working with overachievers,
• 3:55
  Speaker 4: high achievers. Those people fire me up as much as
• 3:59
  Speaker 4: I hope I do them when they get into the gym,
• 4:02
  Speaker 4: and I just love being in all those worlds right
• 4:06
  Speaker 4: while they're in my world, right while they're in the gym.
• 4:09
  Speaker 4: Hopefully I've put together something that's going to serve them right,
• 4:12
  Speaker 4: it's definitely not going to hold them back and they
• 4:15
  Speaker 4: can improve. And then I do it alongside of partners
• 4:20
  Speaker 4: like Solbasiums, so they're getting top of the line recovery
• 4:24
  Speaker 4: treatments as we go right, whether it's whether it's a
• 4:27
  Speaker 4: protein shake from someone we work with, whether it's a
• 4:31
  Speaker 4: high end water with lower contaminants and pfas, or it's
• 4:35
  Speaker 4: red light therapy for loosening up prior to or recovery post.
• 4:41
  Speaker 4: I'm going to go with the Solbasiums with the nowadays,
• 4:45
  Speaker 4: off with the gyms, the people that I work with.
• 4:47
  Speaker 4: I'm always looking to partner and align myself with the
• 4:50
  Speaker 4: companies that will help the people who come in here
• 4:53
  Speaker 4: get the most out of their workouts.
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and recovery is so important, especially for artists. You know,
• 4:59
  Speaker 2: they hit the in the morning, at the stage at night,
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: which is also strenuous on their bodies and just being
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: on the road, being in a tour bus traveling all
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: the time can take a big toll on people in
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: the music industry. And so Bradley, with your company Selbasium,
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: you are revolutionizing red light therapy and recovery technology. As
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: Gunner said, Bradley, can you talk to us about the
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: difference you have seen with people simply using red light
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: therapy versus other recovery methods.
• 5:30
  Speaker 5: Well, I think I think the industry in general, like
• 5:34
  Speaker 5: what we've noticed is that over the past five years
• 5:38
  Speaker 5: has just been an explosion in growth. I mean, like
• 5:41
  Speaker 5: everyday people now are using red light, they're using hyperbaric
• 5:45
  Speaker 5: oxygen chambers, it might be PEMF or even percussion therapy. Now,
• 5:51
  Speaker 5: you know, it wasn't always like this, you know, back
• 5:53
  Speaker 5: in the day, I remember like we couldn't even give
• 5:56
  Speaker 5: red light therapy devices a way because no one knew
• 5:59
  Speaker 5: about it. But to answer your question, you know, what
• 6:01
  Speaker 5: are people using alongside red light therapy and how popular
• 6:05
  Speaker 5: it is? Like, you know a lot of people use
• 6:08
  Speaker 5: the red light, especially the facial masks. They'll also use
• 6:11
  Speaker 5: the full body beds and even the panels and also
• 6:15
  Speaker 5: we're seeing more people that you know are using PEMTH
• 6:19
  Speaker 5: like I mentioned earlier, like you name it all. The
• 6:21
  Speaker 5: recovery technology is really like hitting the mainstream now and
• 6:25
  Speaker 5: it's a great thing.
• 6:27
  Speaker 4: It's funny you talk about back in the day, way
• 6:30
  Speaker 4: back in the day, getting someone to consider a monthly
• 6:35
  Speaker 4: or bi monthly massage was extravagant. Recovery meant sleep and
• 6:40
  Speaker 4: sleep only. And then it led into body work. And
• 6:44
  Speaker 4: then Jason Worslin created the Theorra gun right so handheld
• 6:49
  Speaker 4: percussive device, and then everyone else does that and improves
• 6:53
  Speaker 4: upon it. And then it comes to the percussive device
• 6:58
  Speaker 4: built into the PEMF mats. You have what Selvasium is doing,
• 7:01
  Speaker 4: which is taking it next level, next level, next level.
• 7:03
  Speaker 4: The red light therapy a reverse that was like people
• 7:07
  Speaker 4: were skeptical and now everybody wants it, everybody needs it,
• 7:11
  Speaker 4: and Selbasium makes it where it's like you have a
• 7:13
  Speaker 4: specific you have a pad for the back, you have
• 7:16
  Speaker 4: a knee pad, you have an ankle pad, and it's
• 7:19
  Speaker 4: just easy to apply, easy to use, and it's funny
• 7:23
  Speaker 4: to think that. I mean, I've been in this business
• 7:25
  Speaker 4: thirty five years, thirty five years ago, no exaggeration. The
• 7:29
  Speaker 4: bi weekly or sorry, the bi monthly massage was a dream.
• 7:33
  Speaker 4: And now people can grab the gun and you know, handheld,
• 7:37
  Speaker 4: percuss the device with red light therapy on the device
• 7:41
  Speaker 4: and apply it themselves at any time.
• 7:43
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 7:44
  Speaker 2: So speaking of like these products and the gun, if
• 7:48
  Speaker 2: someone uses it with red light therapy in it, how
• 7:50
  Speaker 2: is that how is that better than just using a
• 7:54
  Speaker 2: regular like thera gun without the red light therapy.
• 7:57
  Speaker 4: Brad I can answer, But that's your world, all right.
• 8:01
  Speaker 5: It's a very good question, and look, it's one that
• 8:05
  Speaker 5: comes up all the time. First of all, with red
• 8:08
  Speaker 5: light therapy, when you're going to deliver the light to
• 8:11
  Speaker 5: the body, there's a lot of things that you have
• 8:14
  Speaker 5: to take into consideration. It comes down to the melanin
• 8:18
  Speaker 5: in the skin, so your skin tone, the amount of
• 8:21
  Speaker 5: fat that you have, and your offer skin layer, so
• 8:25
  Speaker 5: that's all going to come into play. Also the water
• 8:27
  Speaker 5: content in your body. So the magic behind the massage
• 8:31
  Speaker 5: gun coupled with the red light is that as that
• 8:35
  Speaker 5: percussion device is hammering into your muscles, what it's doing
• 8:39
  Speaker 5: is it's compressing the tissue and digging it deep into
• 8:42
  Speaker 5: the muscle. So you're going to be able to deliver
• 8:46
  Speaker 5: more therapeutic wavelengths of light than any other product on
• 8:49
  Speaker 5: the market.
• 8:50
  Speaker 2: Yeah, so that definitely helps with muscle inflammation. And Bradley,
• 8:55
  Speaker 2: just looking at your Soulbasium products, you launch the world's
• 8:59
  Speaker 2: first read light therapy muscle roller, and you just launched
• 9:02
  Speaker 2: the Nova red light therapy bed. We have some products
• 9:06
  Speaker 2: here of yours today to talk about. I think we
• 9:10
  Speaker 2: have the ankle pad percussive device. So how do these
• 9:14
  Speaker 2: different devices aid recovery for athletes versus you know, just
• 9:19
  Speaker 2: taking an ice bath after you know they've worked out.
• 9:23
  Speaker 5: Yeah, so it's two different mechanisms between the ice bath
• 9:26
  Speaker 5: and the red light and also every other tool that
• 9:29
  Speaker 5: they use. So we've got multiple models. We have the ankle,
• 9:33
  Speaker 5: the knee, the universal pad, and the backpad, and they
• 9:36
  Speaker 5: all serve different purposes. Like let's say, for instance, an
• 9:39
  Speaker 5: athlete springs their ankle, get some sort of soft tissue injury,
• 9:44
  Speaker 5: or maybe they've broken their ankle. They can wear the
• 9:46
  Speaker 5: Selbasium red Light ankle pad and then they can accelerate
• 9:50
  Speaker 5: the time, the healing time for their injury. So that's
• 9:54
  Speaker 5: the first big thing, and especially with knees because in
• 9:57
  Speaker 5: pro sports, I mean I would say knees and the
• 10:02
  Speaker 5: back are always the two things that we hear from
• 10:04
  Speaker 5: the most from the athletic trainers, especially in the NFL.
• 10:07
  Speaker 5: What it's going to do is it's gonna heal those
• 10:09
  Speaker 5: injuries and get the guys back on the field faster.
• 10:12
  Speaker 5: Now for the full body bed, you can't I mean,
• 10:16
  Speaker 5: you can't heal the body with that, which it will
• 10:18
  Speaker 5: do that, but also it can enhance performance as well.
• 10:21
  Speaker 5: And what I always tell people is that especially in
• 10:25
  Speaker 5: the game of pro sports, you know, a Super Bowl
• 10:29
  Speaker 5: could come down to increasing your sprint speed by even
• 10:33
  Speaker 5: zero point three percent, you know, for a wide receiver
• 10:35
  Speaker 5: to out run that corner to win the game. That's
• 10:38
  Speaker 5: what red light therapy can do.
• 10:40
  Speaker 2: Yeah, maybe Gunner canna be our van of White for
• 10:42
  Speaker 2: a second, and I'll have some of these.
• 10:44
  Speaker 3: Products to show us how they work.
• 10:46
  Speaker 4: Right, the pad here, uh, which you can see it's
• 10:50
  Speaker 4: all and the red left therapy goes there. And then
• 10:52
  Speaker 4: you have the percussive device which I go here and
• 10:56
  Speaker 4: it has not just one speed, but I can take
• 10:58
  Speaker 4: this up. It's probably good to get pretty loud on
• 11:00
  Speaker 4: your microphones. Nice wow. Right, so and the red light
• 11:07
  Speaker 4: coming on the end. So you have the whole thing again,
• 11:11
  Speaker 4: the fact that to me that it's portable, and we
• 11:13
  Speaker 4: talked about oh yeah, we've talked about in the past,
• 11:15
  Speaker 4: how Bradley says any he schooled me on this prior
• 11:20
  Speaker 4: to a big lift, you can hit the target and
• 11:23
  Speaker 4: muscle group, right, and you're gonna brat you want to
• 11:26
  Speaker 4: expound on this, but you talk about prior to big
• 11:28
  Speaker 4: lists from a warm up standpoint, like, this is such
• 11:32
  Speaker 4: an easy carry for anybody to have in their gym
• 11:35
  Speaker 4: bag that's going to world now, even if it's not
• 11:38
  Speaker 4: a pro athlete, even if it's somebody who's a weekend
• 11:40
  Speaker 4: warrior who's trying to have a pr on a Saturday morning.
• 11:43
  Speaker 4: Am I wrong?
• 11:44
  Speaker 5: Absolutely?
• 11:45
  Speaker 3: No, No, you're correct, Yeah, yeah, these are great for traveling. Yeah.
• 11:50
  Speaker 2: So people and companies can find these products online at
• 11:53
  Speaker 2: Sylbasium dot com and Bradley I saw the two percent
• 11:57
  Speaker 2: of every purchase of these products go to towards the
• 12:00
  Speaker 2: National Pediatric Cancer Foundation.
• 12:02
  Speaker 5: Correct, that is correct. So it's something we started up,
• 12:07
  Speaker 5: was it two or three years ago? So, yeah, a
• 12:10
  Speaker 5: portion of each sale is given to them. We actually
• 12:14
  Speaker 5: gave our first contribution to them. When was it three
• 12:16
  Speaker 5: months ago? So it was pretty cool.
• 12:19
  Speaker 3: Nice, Yeah, that's great.
• 12:20
  Speaker 2: Yeah, obviously these products are very portable, but you know,
• 12:24
  Speaker 2: gems and fitness and recovery centers, they can.
• 12:28
  Speaker 3: Also invest in products like the red light therapy bed
• 12:32
  Speaker 3: for recovery for people to use while they're in the gym.
• 12:36
  Speaker 5: Yeah, exactly. But the big thing that we're doing with
• 12:39
  Speaker 5: the bed, and it's called the Nova Bed if anybody
• 12:42
  Speaker 5: wants to check it out online, is we're really changing
• 12:45
  Speaker 5: the game when it comes to people having access to
• 12:48
  Speaker 5: full body like therapy beds, because I would say ever
• 12:51
  Speaker 5: since they were brought into the market, red light therapy
• 12:53
  Speaker 5: beds have been incredibly expensive. I mean, if you want
• 12:58
  Speaker 5: to get one, you're looking at paying eighty thousand dollars
• 13:00
  Speaker 5: one hundred thousand dollars. And you know, we were just
• 13:03
  Speaker 5: studying the market, looking around and we were like, why
• 13:05
  Speaker 5: are these beds going for eighty K one hundred k
• 13:08
  Speaker 5: or whatnot? And we knew from an engineering standpoint where like,
• 13:12
  Speaker 5: it's not that difficult. We could come up with something
• 13:14
  Speaker 5: better at a better price, and that's what we did
• 13:17
  Speaker 5: with the Novas. So that bed's designed for at home US.
• 13:20
  Speaker 5: It's also designed for clinics, gyms, you name it.
• 13:24
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I think that's great.
• 13:25
  Speaker 2: Yeah, so definitely check out these products on Solbasium Gunner.
• 13:31
  Speaker 2: Another question for you, So you've worked with an elite
• 13:35
  Speaker 2: group of celebrities, but any person can access your workout
• 13:38
  Speaker 2: programs and meal plans through your app, Common Ground, which
• 13:42
  Speaker 2: hosts a supportive community of you know, everyday humans trying
• 13:46
  Speaker 2: to stay fit. So can anyone listening find a tailored
• 13:50
  Speaker 2: workout for their needs in this app?
• 13:53
  Speaker 4: Yeah, they can go with the common Ground app. What's
• 13:55
  Speaker 4: fun about the app is the community. I mean you
• 13:59
  Speaker 4: touched on it that the So yeah, maybe you're working
• 14:02
  Speaker 4: out alone at home, but if you have questions you
• 14:05
  Speaker 4: you can access that on other people who are going,
• 14:07
  Speaker 4: who are who are toiling alongside you, which makes it fun.
• 14:11
  Speaker 4: And the workouts. It took me a while to get
• 14:15
  Speaker 4: into the app game because I do work still day
• 14:18
  Speaker 4: to day with people. But I also wanted to make
• 14:22
  Speaker 4: sure that when we did one, it was right and
• 14:25
  Speaker 4: that it highlighted the way we trained in the JIB.
• 14:28
  Speaker 4: So there's there's a I don't want to say there's
• 14:31
  Speaker 4: a lot of screwing around it. It's fun. It's definitely
• 14:33
  Speaker 4: fun while you get the work done. Because to me,
• 14:36
  Speaker 4: what I always hear is people can't be consistent, they
• 14:39
  Speaker 4: can't come back way they can't and if it's fun,
• 14:41
  Speaker 4: you're more likely to return to it.
• 14:43
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 14:43
  Speaker 2: I think that's the biggest issue with that home workouts
• 14:46
  Speaker 2: is making it fun.
• 14:49
  Speaker 4: There should be, yeah, but then you're helped with like
• 14:52
  Speaker 4: you said, there's nutrition, there's a recovery stuff mentioned, and
• 14:56
  Speaker 4: it's easy to get questions answered, and that's the way
• 14:59
  Speaker 4: to do it.
• 14:59
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it's great.
• 15:01
  Speaker 2: Yeah. I was going to ask you, what's the biggest
• 15:04
  Speaker 2: mistake you see in clients?
• 15:06
  Speaker 3: Is it consistency?
• 15:07
  Speaker 4: I think the biggest mistake is doing nothing or very
• 15:11
  Speaker 4: little for a long time and expecting to reverse that
• 15:13
  Speaker 4: in a short time. And well, you know, exercises, the
• 15:18
  Speaker 4: miracle drug. You got to be reasonable with the miracle
• 15:22
  Speaker 4: you're expecting. Yeah, so if you give it some time,
• 15:26
  Speaker 4: it's definitely going to pay off. And everything you do
• 15:28
  Speaker 4: in here makes everything you do outside of here better.
• 15:32
  Speaker 4: It makes you more patient, more resistant to disease, more
• 15:36
  Speaker 4: resistant to injury. You're a better father, you're a better mother,
• 15:40
  Speaker 4: You're a better spouse or a better partner in general.
• 15:42
  Speaker 4: And I just think if you realize if you take
• 15:45
  Speaker 4: this as not each one's going to be you know,
• 15:49
  Speaker 4: perfect or personal records of that kind of thing. But
• 15:52
  Speaker 4: if you take each one for I'm coming in there
• 15:54
  Speaker 4: and I'm getting a little bit better, a little bit better,
• 15:56
  Speaker 4: a little better. I mean that's I think that's all
• 16:00
  Speaker 4: you can ask for any kind of workout or any protocol.
• 16:04
  Speaker 4: It's the same with It's the same with the treatment.
• 16:06
  Speaker 4: It's the same with staying on your hydration. It's the
• 16:08
  Speaker 4: same with your diet. Right, It's not like you're going
• 16:10
  Speaker 4: to eat one meal with perfect macros and perfect calories
• 16:14
  Speaker 4: and turn around and have that physique. But as you
• 16:17
  Speaker 4: continue to lay those bricks, you're going to build something special.
• 16:20
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I think there's a huge I always say there's
• 16:23
  Speaker 2: a huge correlation between fitness and music. It's all about consistency,
• 16:27
  Speaker 2: practicing writing the songs as it is getting in the
• 16:30
  Speaker 2: gym and exercising.
• 16:31
  Speaker 4: I had a conversation with a girl today who changes
• 16:34
  Speaker 4: me twenty one years old heavy, and I said to her,
• 16:39
  Speaker 4: everything you're doing is right because you're twenty one, so
• 16:45
  Speaker 4: you're the demographic so to sit in a room with people,
• 16:48
  Speaker 4: you know, forty fifty sixties, maybe they like it, maybe
• 16:51
  Speaker 4: they don't. As long as you're consistent with your she
• 16:55
  Speaker 4: plays guitar, she plays piano, she's saying, she songwrites, as
• 16:59
  Speaker 4: long as you're consistently cranking it out, not just like
• 17:04
  Speaker 4: work for work sake, but if it's coming from inside
• 17:06
  Speaker 4: like she journals and all that's coming out in your music,
• 17:10
  Speaker 4: you're essentially honing that, right, You're honing that instrument. You're
• 17:13
  Speaker 4: fine tuning up the same way you are your body
• 17:15
  Speaker 4: in the gym, and it does pay off, and it
• 17:19
  Speaker 4: does end up where it ends up, which will always
• 17:21
  Speaker 4: be better than where you started if you're consistent with it.
• 17:24
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I think that's so important, staying motivated and focused.
• 17:29
  Speaker 2: And you know one thing I noticed, especially when you're
• 17:33
  Speaker 2: in your early twenties, you don't.
• 17:34
  Speaker 3: Really think about recovery.
• 17:36
  Speaker 2: You just think about doing the grind, doing the workouts,
• 17:39
  Speaker 2: and so I mean, it hits you hard when you
• 17:41
  Speaker 2: know you get older and then you find out, wow,
• 17:44
  Speaker 2: I do need to focus on recovery. So I think
• 17:47
  Speaker 2: these tools and these products where like there be is
• 17:49
  Speaker 2: so important and it's good to remember that you do
• 17:54
  Speaker 2: need days to recover from all the work you've done.
• 17:57
  Speaker 4: We talked about the similarities between the reformers and the athletes,
• 18:01
  Speaker 4: and I've seen them in their twenties. We call it
• 18:04
  Speaker 4: playing through right like in golf. Like they'll go out
• 18:07
  Speaker 4: at night and party and roll right into the gym,
• 18:10
  Speaker 4: no sleep and just gut it out and then recover
• 18:13
  Speaker 4: on the other side. And you can. I've seen them
• 18:16
  Speaker 4: get away with that in their twenties, But good luck
• 18:19
  Speaker 4: with that in your thirties and forties. That's just a
• 18:22
  Speaker 4: that's a tough road.
• 18:23
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 18:23
  Speaker 4: So you know, with all the tools, with all the
• 18:26
  Speaker 4: with all the recovery aids, maybe, but there comes a
• 18:31
  Speaker 4: time when you have to know when to shut it
• 18:33
  Speaker 4: down and when to separate work and play.
• 18:36
  Speaker 2: M hmm, yeah, I agree. It's so important. So for
• 18:40
  Speaker 2: both of you, Bradley and gunn Are. My last question
• 18:43
  Speaker 2: is something I ask in every episode. I think it's
• 18:46
  Speaker 2: especially fitting today. But Bradley, I'm not sure if you've
• 18:49
  Speaker 2: spent much time in Nashville, so you may or may
• 18:52
  Speaker 2: not have an answer for this question. But my question
• 18:54
  Speaker 2: for both of you, whoever wants to go first, do
• 18:57
  Speaker 2: you have a favorite place to take a walk in Nashville.
• 19:01
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I can go first because we've only been here
• 19:04
  Speaker 4: four years, but I did a lot of recons so
• 19:06
  Speaker 4: I probably got about seven and a half years of
• 19:10
  Speaker 4: Nashville walks under my belt. I think it's cliche to
• 19:15
  Speaker 4: say downtown Franklin, but it is. That is the movie set, right,
• 19:19
  Speaker 4: That is the place that if your wife is on
• 19:21
  Speaker 4: the fence about moving here, you walk her there and
• 19:23
  Speaker 4: it's a quick sale. I'm a big fan of walking
• 19:27
  Speaker 4: around downtown, not necessarily broadly, but there are so many
• 19:30
  Speaker 4: other areas downtown to little little dip roots that you
• 19:35
  Speaker 4: can find, and you find there are a lot of
• 19:38
  Speaker 4: cool spots. I think that you can go to food, music,
• 19:43
  Speaker 4: It has its own culture. Again, that was a big draw.
• 19:46
  Speaker 4: It's not a city that you need to bring anything to.
• 19:49
  Speaker 4: There's literally everything here.
• 19:51
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, in downtown Nashville, and Franklin is so walkable
• 19:54
  Speaker 2: that you can certainly get your steps and just.
• 19:56
  Speaker 4: Walking in this area. And there's other parts where you
• 19:58
  Speaker 4: talk about Franklin for downtown, yes, that's yes, that's quaint.
• 20:02
  Speaker 4: But going outside towards where the Battle of Franklin was
• 20:05
  Speaker 4: and the little museums and the little houses and where
• 20:08
  Speaker 4: the cannons are still there and things that you see.
• 20:11
  Speaker 4: I've taken my kids there and we talk about, like,
• 20:13
  Speaker 4: think about what life was back then, right. None of
• 20:16
  Speaker 4: the stuff that you have now, they didn't have it then,
• 20:21
  Speaker 4: not also including the car that got us here. So
• 20:24
  Speaker 4: think about what that looks like. What that looked like
• 20:27
  Speaker 4: walking through here. This wasn't all clear. When you see
• 20:29
  Speaker 4: woods off to the left side, it was probably all woods,
• 20:33
  Speaker 4: and getting through from place to place was a big deal,
• 20:35
  Speaker 4: and the roads weren't paid, and you think about what
• 20:37
  Speaker 4: the people did. It's very easy to understand the pride
• 20:41
  Speaker 4: they have in the area because they fought so hard
• 20:44
  Speaker 4: to make it so special and maintain it. So it's
• 20:47
  Speaker 4: cool that they do maintain it. And it's cool that it's
• 20:49
  Speaker 4: walkable and it's safe and it's family oriented. It's a
• 20:52
  Speaker 4: pretty special place.
• 20:53
  Speaker 3: Yeah, so much history to see.
• 20:55
  Speaker 2: Bradley, Do you have a favorite place in Nashville to
• 20:58
  Speaker 2: take a walk?
• 21:00
  Speaker 1: Yeah?
• 21:00
  Speaker 5: One, just because like I haven't really explored Nashville. I
• 21:03
  Speaker 5: mean I was there for a trade show. That's when
• 21:04
  Speaker 5: I went Mett Gunner at his gym. But I would
• 21:07
  Speaker 5: have I would have to say the first thing that
• 21:08
  Speaker 5: comes to mind is walking to the football stadium.
• 21:13
  Speaker 4: That would be it for me.
• 21:13
  Speaker 5: That might sound cheesy, but I've been in Australia for
• 21:16
  Speaker 5: so long, i haven't seen the NFL game, hadn't gotten
• 21:19
  Speaker 5: to experience that atmosphere and so long that I mean
• 21:23
  Speaker 5: that was that was pretty cool during my last trip,
• 21:25
  Speaker 5: got to walk to the stadium. It's right outside the city,
• 21:28
  Speaker 5: you get to cross over the river, it's beautiful and yeah,
• 21:32
  Speaker 5: you get to go watch a game. In a hire interview,
• 21:34
  Speaker 5: So right now, that's what I would say.
• 21:35
  Speaker 3: That I like that answer.
• 21:37
  Speaker 2: I do love that about the Titan Stadium. And even
• 21:39
  Speaker 2: with the News Stadium, you can just go from downtown
• 21:42
  Speaker 2: Broadway to walk on the pedestrian bridge to get over there.
• 21:46
  Speaker 3: So yeah, I think that's great.
• 21:48
