Great Interview 😊

[@cpruns4501]

Great video as always! On a side note thank you for updating free trail so you can't make picks until you sign in. That drove me crazy a few times. Meticulously making all my picks and then when I sign in I have to start over LOL. Great update to the site!! Thank you.

I was a little surprised that he talked about getting a golden ticket while also saying that he has dialed back the competitive side of running.

[@Freetrail]

I think he's just in a place where he's excited and feels no pressure, so he can freely compete without emotional baggage. The dude is a competitor. You can' turn that off. 🔥
