What is an amino acid? What are essential amino acids and what are branch chain amino acids? What role do amino acids play in your digestion and particularly your digestion of protein? Turns out aminos are vital for life and robust health. So this week I’m talking to Angelo Keeley, the CEO and co-founder of Kion, maybe the best supplement company in the world. Angelo is a good man, that’s why I enjoyed talking to him the most.
We also talk weight loss tips, how to balance life as a working parent and how to set goals and achieve them (I’ve already started implementing these).

It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
