Awesome interview. Frank seems like a very likeable guy! Lots of interesting stuff here, but the one that I resonated with that I remember after listening is the recoveries on the on/off micro-intervals. I also focus mostly on the on power and not as much on the recovery/off power. All of it is interesting though haha
