Gym Tune of the Week: Orbit Culture - "From The Inside”
Death metal growls - got it. Insane guitar playing - got it. Clean angelic vocals - got it. Wide-ranging wall of sound - got it. What's not to love about these Swedish metal masters?
Loving this entire album, especially this track.
Rock on,
Dr Mike

Will AI replace online coaches, or only the ones who stop being human? Bryan and I get candid about why paying for expertise makes you a better coach, how we each use (and distrust) AI in coaching...
Hola from the Lexus dealer. Black Sunshine, my 2017 GX460, threw a check-engine light. Two hours later, the verdict… ...some furry little bastard had chewed through the wiring. Warranty coverage? HA!
