88 - Craig Dinkel on Competing at Olmpic Trials and BioTropic

Our interview today is with Craig Dinkel. Craig is a sprint freestyle and fly swimmer, who trained and competed for years on a world-class level.  He is a 2 time qualifier for Olympic Trials, earned 23 All-Americans,  and set 4 NCAA records while at Cal State.  Craig talks about what it takes to train and compete at that level and a product that I'm excited to take a closer look at a safe way to get a biological edge with BioTropicLabs.

Before we get into the interview, let's catch up with Bill and Khem.
