Sevan Matossian (00:03):
Can you hear me?
Carol Pasquali (00:04):
Yeah, can you?
Sevan Matossian (00:06):
Yeah. Awesome, man. How is it that there’s people who are all over my country who have a picture that’s 1000th as clear as yours and you are? How far you are from me? 10,000 miles from me.
Carol Pasquali (00:20):
I dunno. All the magic of Apple.
Sevan Matossian (00:23):
Yeah. That’s your camera on your computer?
Carol Pasquali (00:27):
No. Yeah, that’s the computer. Yeah.
Sevan Matossian (00:29):
Oh my God. That picture is the most crystal clear picture I’ve ever seen in a podcast. That’s nuts.
Carol Pasquali (00:36):
That’s it. We’re off tape. I have done nothing. I just bought the thing.
Sevan Matossian (00:41):
Congrats. Did you really just buy
Carol Pasquali (00:42):
It? No, no. It’s like two years.
Sevan Matossian (00:44):
Oh, dang. Hey. Hi.
Carol Pasquali (00:48):
Hey, how are you?
Sevan Matossian (00:49):
Good, Carol. Say your name for me.
Carol Pasquali (00:52):
Carol Pasquale.
Sevan Matossian (00:54):
Pasquale. Carol Pasquale. How do the Brazilian say it? Do they just call you Carol too?
Carol Pasquali (00:59):
It’s Karo
Sevan Matossian (01:00):
Different.
Carol Pasquali (01:02):
Karo
Sevan Matossian (01:02):
Ka. And do you mind the way us Americans say it? No. No? Okay.
Carol Pasquali (01:08):
No, Carol is fine. Okay.
Sevan Matossian (01:11):
You’re born and raised in Brazil.
Carol Pasquali (01:13):
Yeah.
Sevan Matossian (01:16):
A lot of incoming really first grade questions here. I apologize. And so you are Brazilian?
Carol Pasquali (01:24):
Yeah.
Sevan Matossian (01:25):
And Brazilian people are, where do Brazilian people come from? What’s their origin? Do you know how far back what happened in Brazil that makes you guys
Carol Pasquali (01:34):
Oh yeah. It’s Portugal, basically. And there was a time where, well, a lot of slaves coming from Africa, and there was small communities coming from Netherlands, Spain, and Italians as well. That’s why Pasquale, right?
Sevan Matossian (01:57):
I was going to say, it sounds Italian, but what do I know? Okay. Okay. It’s
Carol Pasquali (02:00):
Italian.
Sevan Matossian (02:01):
So Brazilian people, that’s interesting because you guys all do look so different. So it’s a mixture of Europeans and then Africans, and then also I’m guessing indigenous people there, right? What we call Native Americans. So it’s those three, I mean, maybe you could go back even further, but those three people are what make Brazilians. And that’s why you guys have this huge swath of different looking people, right? I mean, some of the people there look black and some of the people look like you like Italian, some look like Spaniards. Okay. And then you guys have blue-eyed people. You have everything there.
Carol Pasquali (02:33):
Everything all mixed.
Sevan Matossian (02:36):
But those are all Portuguese, Brazilian, Portuguese speaking people. For the most part,
Carol Pasquali (02:42):
Yes. All the countries speaks one language, which just have some regional expressions that are different. Some accents,
Sevan Matossian (02:49):
But
Carol Pasquali (02:50):
Language the same.
Sevan Matossian (02:52):
And how long have you been doing CrossFit?
Carol Pasquali (02:56):
It’s 12 years now.
Sevan Matossian (02:59):
I feel like I’ve seen you around forever. Can you tell me the story? How did you come across CrossFit?
Carol Pasquali (03:07):
Well, first time I saw a CrossFit gym was 2011 when I was living in San Diego. I was there to study English. I was there for six months, and every day I pass by this different gym with black four and no equipment and all these very strong women and men doing all different kind of stuff like climbing ropes. That was very different, especially the day that they were running with different equipment that I have never seen, like sandbags and balls, la balls. And that was weird for me, but I tried two times there, but I was mostly going to a global gym. But then when I came back, I found out that there was a CrossFit gym in my city that time, and I was like, okay, I’m going to give it a try. So I started in 2012 when I came back to Brazil.
(04:04):
Then when I started understanding the CrossFit environment, that I realized that that at that time was CrossFit Invictus. Oh, wow. In Little Italy. Yeah. I had no idea for the champions at that time. So I had no idea it was Invictus and what Invictus mean to the CrossFit community. So it was pretty fun when I was like, oh my God, if I knew, but I didn’t. And then I started doing CrossFit and working for the gym as social media for them. And I am a very curious person, so I started reading the L one to know what I was posting about. And then I was just practicing and doing social media, that stuff. And then one day I have a good English and I could keep following all the crossfit.com stuff and articles and especially the videos that I really love back then. And one day I watch it Constance. And that video was so powerful to me.
Sevan Matossian (05:10):
The conference video was the video of the older lady. She was like a balding black woman or a husband had died and it was at CrossFit Brooklyn or something, right?
Carol Pasquali (05:20):
Yeah, it was like full hip replacement, full knee replacement. And she couldn’t, and she says that she couldn’t tie her shoes and after CrossFit she could do it. And that was the most impact it had on her. It’s a beautiful video. I love this story.
Sevan Matossian (05:40):
Interesting. So your first view is going by Invictus, seeing the best CrossFitters in the world. And then the part that solidified it for you was seeing the complete other end of the spectrum of someone using her husband had died, right? So she had lost physical and kind. Her mental state was poor and her physical state was poor. And then you saw, wow, it can be used to rehabilitate or bring people back from a really low point.
Carol Pasquali (06:06):
Yeah, I mean the sport for me is like, how can we do this at best and see where human beings can go, but seeing a regular person doing this and changing their life, not making everything about CrossFit, but CrossFit is a part of their life and changing them to a better wife, a better professional, a better mom. That’s the most powerful thing about CrossFit. For me. It is impressive. The CrossFit games is really impressive. But for me, knowing that someone was trying to take their life, but it was saved by CrossFit, by their community, I heard that story more than once. That is the true power of the thing for me. At least that’s what
Sevan Matossian (06:59):
I see. You add it to anything and it gets better.
Carol Pasquali (07:03):
Yeah, that’s it.
Sevan Matossian (07:04):
That’s it. It’s funny. You don’t ever really hear any, I can’t think of a single story where someone did it and it made shit worse.
Carol Pasquali (07:11):
No.
Sevan Matossian (07:13):
Going back to, so you’re born and raised in Brazil, and were you an athlete? Were you a mover from a young age?
Carol Pasquali (07:19):
Yeah, I used to play handball.
Sevan Matossian (07:22):
Were you in prison? Were you in prison, Carol?
Carol Pasquali (07:26):
No.
Sevan Matossian (07:26):
No. Okay. Just checking. Very, very popular prison game. Very popular prison game here in the States.
Carol Pasquali (07:34):
No. So I was always around sport, like basketball and swimming and tennis. But nothing close to professional. No.
Sevan Matossian (07:42):
And how do you get introduced to handball? As a little kid? You played it,
Carol Pasquali (07:46):
I don’t know if it’s the same name in English, but I think it is. It’s something that we learn in school. So there are four major main sports that we learn in grad that’s soccer, basketball, volleyball, and handball. Head ball is the one in the court, right?
Sevan Matossian (08:10):
It’s a hard ball and you hit it with your hand. Oh
Carol Pasquali (08:12):
No. So it’s a different one. Okay.
Sevan Matossian (08:14):
Oh, okay. Okay.
Carol Pasquali (08:16):
Let me figure out. Let’s Google and translate.
Sevan Matossian (08:19):
Oh, like that. How big is the ball?
Carol Pasquali (08:22):
Oh yeah, that one. That one, that one.
Sevan Matossian (08:23):
Oh, okay. Okay.
Carol Pasquali (08:25):
How do you call that sport in
Sevan Matossian (08:26):
English? You know what? I don’t even know that sport. I’ve never even seen that sport.
Carol Pasquali (08:30):
Okay. It’s an Olympic sport.
Sevan Matossian (08:33):
Oh yeah,
Caleb Beaver (08:34):
It’s handball.
Sevan Matossian (08:36):
That is what we call it. I thought handball Caleb is what they play in prison. It’s that hard blue ball and you smack it against the wall.
Caleb Beaver (08:42):
I always called that wall ball.
Sevan Matossian (08:44):
Oh, oh, okay. Alright. Alright. Look at all these people in the comics correcting me. Alright. Okay. Okay. So say what are the major sports again? Okay, so soccer, volleyball,
Carol Pasquali (08:57):
Basketball, and handball.
Sevan Matossian (08:59):
Wow, okay. Isn’t that crazy? I’ve never seen handball. And is handball like soccer but you throw the ball?
Carol Pasquali (09:04):
Yeah, some different rules. There’s an area around the goal that you can’t go in, you have to jump, but it’s the same thing
Sevan Matossian (09:14):
But similar. You’re on a field and you’re trying to throw this ball into and you can use your hands. That’s it. Okay. Not the foot. And you liked it, you were an athletic kid, you liked it?
Carol Pasquali (09:23):
Yeah, I was good at it. Yeah, at soccer too.
Sevan Matossian (09:26):
And did you have siblings, Carol?
Carol Pasquali (09:28):
I do have a younger one. Much younger actually.
Sevan Matossian (09:34):
So you’re doing that, and then did you get into the gym at all? Did you lift weights? Did you know anything about that? Yeah, you did. Tell me about that. How did you end up in the gym? Go ahead.
Carol Pasquali (09:43):
Mostly preparing physics condition to play. I was playing regional competitions, but when a girl goes into a global gym, it’s just lags. And I had to work on my arms and core as well, but usually they just go squat and that’s it. It was not fun I was doing because I had to, but it was not good. It was not fun.
Sevan Matossian (10:13):
Did you have someone introduce you to it? Did you have someone take you in there, a coach or a friend? No, no. Just all?
Carol Pasquali (10:21):
Yeah. Yeah. It’s something that you just see your mom going, your dad going, and it is just go. And there are some people there, like some structures that just give you a list of exercise and you just do it.
Sevan Matossian (10:37):
And so you’re playing sports and you go through all the years of school and then somehow at 17 or 18 you end up. Tell me about your trip to the United States. Did you apply to go to college here or an English school or how did you end up here in San Diego?
Carol Pasquali (10:51):
It was a trip to learn English. I was studying English for a very long time. My mom and dad put me in an English school since I was eight, but then I wanted to get some certificates so I could try maybe a college or something. Then I was already in the university here doing major in graphic design. And then I just went to the US to get a better English last accent and that stuff. So San Diego was one of the options. I have never heard about San Diego before and I end up there just studying English and going around visiting some places. That was all.
Sevan Matossian (11:44):
How old were you when you came?
Carol Pasquali (11:45):
21.
Sevan Matossian (11:46):
21. By yourself?
Carol Pasquali (11:48):
Yeah.
Sevan Matossian (11:49):
Dang. And was it specifically in English school? Like, Hey, English, it’s English. English for Chinese people, English for Brazilian people. And you go there and you just start working on your English?
Carol Pasquali (12:01):
Yeah, that’s it. It’s all kind of people from everywhere.
Sevan Matossian (12:06):
Yeah. Wild. Okay. And did you like San Diego? Did you want to go home or did you want to stay?
Carol Pasquali (12:11):
Yeah, I have a tattoo of the skyline. I love that place. Yeah, it was some place that I would love to live there for a while.
Sevan Matossian (12:22):
Yeah, it is kind of a perfect city, a perfect weather, good spot. Places where you can go, where the pace is slow or you can get into the hustle and bustle of the city. It’s a great spot, huh?
Carol Pasquali (12:35):
Yeah, it’s great. It’s beautiful and it’s awesome. It’s perfect.
Sevan Matossian (12:41):
And is your girlfriend Brazilian or American?
Carol Pasquali (12:45):
Brazilian. Yeah,
Sevan Matossian (12:45):
Brazilian. And you met her down there in Brazil?
Carol Pasquali (12:48):
Yeah. Yeah.
Sevan Matossian (12:49):
Does she speak English?
Carol Pasquali (12:51):
She understands better than she speaks, but she is shy to speak, so that’s why she’s not improving and she knows it.
Sevan Matossian (12:58):
I’m shy to speak Portuguese. Okay. When, so you start going to a gym, what was the name of the gym you went to in 2012 in Brazil?
Carol Pasquali (13:08):
It’s Avani CrossFit.
Sevan Matossian (13:11):
Will you spell that for me?
Carol Pasquali (13:12):
A-V-A-N-T-I.
Sevan Matossian (13:16):
And are you still there today? Yeah. No kidding. Yeah.
Carol Pasquali (13:21):
Wow. They’re still around now. They have two gyms
Sevan Matossian (13:26):
And that’s where you go, that’s your gym?
Carol Pasquali (13:28):
Not today. Currently I’m going to punk CrossFit.
Sevan Matossian (13:34):
PUNK. Yeah. Oh, and I’ve heard of that gym. Has that gym been around forever?
Carol Pasquali (13:39):
Yeah, I think you know the guy, Rick Cardillo.
Sevan Matossian (13:43):
Oh no shit, that’s his gym. Wow.
Carol Pasquali (13:45):
Yeah, he’s the country manager.
Sevan Matossian (13:48):
Okay, so 2011. Tell me about how you end up doing the social media for Avanti CrossFit. Do you ask them if you can do it? Did they have an Instagram account? What was social media back then? Did you run their Facebook? Were you into media? Tell me all the details. The yummy stuff.
Carol Pasquali (14:06):
Yeah, Facebook and Instagram basically. And I asked, I offered like, Hey, we could work on this and maybe trade. I could do the social media for them and not pay for the gym membership. And that’s how I started. And I was starting taking some photos and videos. I was working with video clips for events at that time, and also weddings. I started working on weddings, so I was all about video at that time. So I started shooting some stuff for them. And until I stumbled to the constant video, and that made me think that that was not exactly the CrossFit that I was seeing in Brazil. And it’s not just like a Bunche, it was how Brazil was seeing CrossFit. We were taking all the military and tough stuff and the preparation to be an athlete. So basically everyone around me wanted to be an athlete one day, and that was the mood.
(15:20):
And a bunches is still known for the athletes they have here. They are in all local competitions, they participate, but it was different. And that’s when I wrote an email to CrossFit, I don’t even know where I found the email, the address, but I sent an email like, Hey, it would be amazing if presidents could understand this. And because not everyone speaks English here, actually few people speak English here. And I said, it would be very helpful that this kind of content could reach our people here. And I offered, can I help? Maybe translate, create subtitles. This is not my profession. I’m not a professional translator, but I could help. And then it’s when I got Tyson reached back,
Sevan Matossian (16:19):
And that was the beginning. Tyson did reach back,
Carol Pasquali (16:23):
He reached back, and then we started this back and forth conversation, meetings and emails. And he had an assistant at that time, I don’t remember her name, Whitney? No, I don’t remember. And he was trying to understand where I came from, where all this idea came from. And then one day he was like, Hey, why don’t you tell Brazilian stories more than just translate the video? I was like, yeah, oh yeah, let’s do it. So that, that was 2017 when we started talk.
Sevan Matossian (17:06):
I want to go back real quick to the wedding thing. Shooting weddings. Did you own a camera at the time? How did you get involved in that? How did you get the courage to start shooting weddings? And then were you editing on Final Cut Pro back then?
Carol Pasquali (17:18):
Yeah, I was using Final Cut when I came back from the us I bought a camera there, so I brought a camera. It was not a pro camera, but it was a good thing. It was like Canon 60 or something like that at that time. It was a good
Sevan Matossian (17:34):
Thing. Yeah, great camera. Yeah, expensive camera. You had to be like, oh shit, here we go.
Carol Pasquali (17:38):
Yeah, at that time I had a band, I’m a drummer, I had a band and it was like, I want to take better photos and better videos of band and all the places that we go. And when I came back, that’s where I started. But a friend, another drummer, he was like, Hey, I have this production company where we’re working on weddings. They want to come. Oh, look at that. You’re going way back. Oh my god. 2000.
Sevan Matossian (18:10):
Are you still in the band, Carol?
Carol Pasquali (18:11):
No, no. The band broke up on,
Sevan Matossian (18:15):
Do you have a set of drums? Do you have a set of drums at your house set up? I do. Oh good. Alright, good. That makes me happy. Do they get used?
Carol Pasquali (18:23):
Well nowadays I’m living in an apartment, so usually I go to a studio
Sevan Matossian (18:28):
To play. Alright. So a drummer from another band or another band member is like, Hey, I have a production company, will you come work for me? And so that’s how you started shooting?
Carol Pasquali (18:38):
Yeah, that man opened a lot of doors for me and was, I learned so much from him, especially for events and how to be aware of everything that’s going around, positioning and so much about fuming. And that was a huge step for me that made me go into this full head headfirst into Fuming.
Sevan Matossian (19:04):
And so in 2017, you get your first, was it a paid gig from CrossFit? They paid you to make some sort of, and tell me about your first piece in 2017. What was it on? Yeah,
Carol Pasquali (19:16):
It was a mini doc on an average girl, like 33 years old. She was fitter at thirties, then at her twenties it was very common story. And she was an athlete at Achy. She’s still an athlete now. She’s much stronger in competing and all that stuff. And it was about her and her sister was talking about her life as well. So it was pretty fun. I had three options to Tyson and he was like, let’s go with this one. So I shoot that, sent to him, got some feedback, and I remember that time he wanted to put that or the trailer of that mini dock during the CrossFit open announcement for 2018. But something happened that it was not possible to put that up. But then during the open we started a new project
Sevan Matossian (20:22):
On, so that went to.com and then it went to the journal back then. Is the video in the journal?
Carol Pasquali (20:29):
I don’t think it is.
Sevan Matossian (20:31):
No,
Carol Pasquali (20:31):
I don’t think it is. No.
Sevan Matossian (20:32):
Did it go to the CrossFit YouTube station?
Carol Pasquali (20:34):
I don’t think so, because if I’m not mistaken, you had some problem at that moment with their affiliation and then Tyson was like, Hey, we can’t put that up now.
Sevan Matossian (20:45):
Oh no.
Carol Pasquali (20:46):
And I dunno if what happened with the video, if they ever used that, because nowadays they’re all good. But
Sevan Matossian (20:55):
Do you know if the video is on YouTube today?
Carol Pasquali (20:59):
I don’t think so. I didn’t put that anywhere. So let’s see. I think it was Pilers of My Health, something like that.
Sevan Matossian (21:13):
I’m guessing Kayla would’ve found it already if it was up there.
Carol Pasquali (21:16):
Probably.
Sevan Matossian (21:17):
I did a quick search. Hey, so you make that video and you must be excited, right? You make a video for your passion, CrossFit, you have a good, great contact at CrossFit. Tyson was in charge of all production there. We were making tons of content when you came in. So you get that gig and you make it. And then are you off to the races? Were you a contractor for CrossFit?
Carol Pasquali (21:44):
Yeah, I was. For 2018, I had a project during the Open, which was leaving the open in Portuguese. So each week I went to a different affiliate. Then we had the regionals in Rio, the one that was chaotic.
Sevan Matossian (22:05):
Oh, something happened with the equipment. The equipment got held up or something. Right. They couldn’t get out of customs. Okay, I remember that.
Carol Pasquali (22:11):
Yeah. And then the games, and that was all of it for 2018,
Sevan Matossian (22:19):
You came out to the games in 2018? Yeah,
Carol Pasquali (22:22):
I was working with the documentary crew.
Sevan Matossian (22:24):
Oh, awesome. Okay. So you’re friends with all those people, Mariah Tyson, the whole team. Wow. Fantastic.
Carol Pasquali (22:30):
Yeah,
Sevan Matossian (22:31):
Yeah, torn. Okay, so that happens. And what year is it now? It’s 2024 now. So that was six years ago. And do you have any other roles in the CrossFit space at that time? Are you coaching at a gym or anything like that? No. So you’re, you’re just doing CrossFit and making videos and then what happens from there? Did you eventually become, were you ever employed by CrossFit besides a contractor?
Carol Pasquali (23:01):
No, not actually. It’s in 2019, I started working with Rick Cardillo. He was already the country manager for CrossFit in Brazil. And I started helping him. It was mid 19. And then on January 20 I got a contract to be his assistant. So it’s a contractor relationship. It’s not an employee with all the rights and that stuff. It’s a contractor.
Sevan Matossian (23:31):
But it sounds like it was a full-time position. It’s
Carol Pasquali (23:34):
A full time, but it’s nothing that they were like, we could have other stuff going on. But on 2021, I think I was just full-time doing my work at CrossFit Brazil.
Sevan Matossian (23:51):
And when you say CrossFit Brazil, you mean not CrossFit punk, but actually CrossFit Brazil Instagram account. Yeah. And how many gyms are there in Brazil, do you know?
Carol Pasquali (24:00):
Nowadays we have around 600, little bit more than that. 600 and, I dunno, 15, 16.
Sevan Matossian (24:07):
Was there a peak?
Carol Pasquali (24:09):
Yes, 2018.
Sevan Matossian (24:11):
And what was that? How many were there?
Carol Pasquali (24:13):
1200.
Sevan Matossian (24:14):
Wow. Okay. And is Rick Carino still the country manager?
Carol Pasquali (24:18):
Yeah, he is.
Sevan Matossian (24:19):
He,
Carol Pasquali (24:19):
Yeah, he said high. He texted me today, he’s traveling. He was like, Hey, say hi to Sivan. You recorded a podcast with
Sevan Matossian (24:28):
Him. He’s a great guy. Really enjoyed, yeah, he’s nice. Yeah, being in his presence. Okay, so you do that and so you’re working basically side by side with Rick Carino and he’s keeping you busy goal. Your main task is to maintain social media for CrossFit. Brazil,
Carol Pasquali (24:50):
We’re juggling a lot of stuff, spinning a lot of plates. So I think I consider that the support, the affiliate support, it was always the priority. But I was also posting on Instagram and putting, I was not putting out, I was not shooting content, but I was just digging affiliates, Instagram accounts and reposting and also mainly translating a lot of stuff that CrossFit affiliates or CrossFit training was putting out and putting subtitles and sharing that in a way that people could understand it. That’s basically what I did at the Instagram.
Sevan Matossian (25:37):
Give me an example of affiliate support. So an affiliate would reach out to you and what’s something they would say to you?
Carol Pasquali (25:43):
Maybe the credit card didn’t went through
(25:46):
Or they’re going through something that they want some guidance and especially during the open, all the questions around the open, like how to register, someone registered, wrong place or wrong, I dunno what. So all that kind of stuff. But the main work, the hardest ever work was during pandemic because we had a lot of meetings with Greg. Greg had some meetings with the Brazilian affiliates. We had to handle all the economics and financial part of it, and CrossFit was amazing. With that support, we could wave a lot of months because here in Brazil, usually we pay installments. That’s something that’s really common here. We pay everything installments,
Sevan Matossian (26:46):
Meaning the affiliate fees, they would break it up. They would pay monthly instead of a one-time, flat fee. Okay. Yeah, perfect. That’s it. And so during the pandemic, someone might call you and be like, Hey, our gym’s closed, we can’t afford affiliate fees. And then you would be like, okay, we will check back with you in four months. We’re going to waive your fees for now. Things like that. Or what about the legal team too? Hey, someone opened up a gym across the street from us and they’re teaching CrossFit, but they’re not paying their affiliation fees. You would get contacts like that too.
Carol Pasquali (27:10):
Yeah, it happens a lot here.
Sevan Matossian (27:12):
Yeah. I mean it happens everywhere. Yeah. Okay. So you’re not just, and I don’t mean this in an adjust, but you weren’t just, the team was very small in Brazil and you wore many hats. So sometimes it would be working with legal at CrossFit, sometimes the media department, sometimes the affiliate department. You would be on these calls with Greg finding out what CrossFit’s doing in order to help the gyms sustain their existence through the pandemic. You wore all the hats. And Rick Orino is, like you said, he’s the point of contact for CrossFit HQ for Brazil. And you were basically just steeped in that and you learned a ton of stuff on the job. Like, Hey, Carol, take care of this. You’re like, oh, no problem. But you’re like,
Carol Pasquali (28:05):
What am I doing? Yeah, it happens.
Sevan Matossian (28:08):
And that’s the way it was in CrossFit in the United States in 2008 and oh nine. It’s the wild West as you haven’t seen problems. And so as they come up over the horizon, you’re having to figure out how to deal with them. Wow, that is so cool. I always knew, everyone always spoke. I didn’t have very much interaction with you. I would just see you at the games or at events. But people always spoke very highly of you, and it was obvious that you were helping keep things together in Brazil and that you were wearing many hats. But during this whole time, is filming still your passion?
Carol Pasquali (28:42):
Yeah, telling these stories. That’s what I love doing.

Because what I’m hearing, how you popped on my radar again is someone’s like, wow, have you seen what this girl Carol’s doing in Brazil? And I’m like, no. They’re like, dude, she’s basically retired from her position at CrossFit and on her own dime, she’s going to all the different gyms during the open and putting together all this stuff. So tell me that story. Was it hard? Do you still work for CrossFit or no, you parted ways?

Sevan Matossian (29:24):
Oh, sorry, I apologize.
Carol Pasquali (29:26):
It’s fine. It’s fine. It’s just not out there yet, but it’s okay. Some do some no, but it’s fine talking about it. But yeah, so I recently resigned and asked Richard. I talk a lot with Rickard about this and what I wanted to do, but we have so many stuff to do with such a small crew, the international team in CrossFit, those guys are very hard workers.
