Mike Posner is the light.
He's known worldwide as a Grammy-nominated musician. His songs like "I Took A Pill In Ibiza" and "Cooler Than Me" have been streamed billions of times.
But really, he's so much more than that.
His music helped pull me out of depression. His album – Keep Going – changed the trajectory of my life. Mike was the person I listened in September 2019 (when I started meditating and did 75 Hard).
I noticed there was something different about how he operated. He was acting in love. He was self-aware. He was willing to work hard but also trusted the flow of life. I didn't know what he was on, but I wanted it.
His impact on my life has been incredible. And then to sit down with him for 2+ hours... and have it go better than I could imagine?
What a dream come true.

Zach Pogrob and I ran our first marathon on December 2, 2023 (St. Jude's Memphis Marathon). This was a real conversation we'd have if the mics were off.
We spoke about the entire week we spent together, the run club, pre-race, during-race, and post-race.
We also were lucky to be randomly joined by Hunter Weiss (https://www.instagram.com/hunter_weiss), for about 1 hour of this podcast, who filled us in on marathon training tips, his preparation for his next race, and what it was like to track our performances in Memphis.
Zach's time: 3:16:30
My time: 3:39:22
We're excited to build on this in 2024 - starting with the Austin Marathon on February 18. We hope you'll join us there.

This is a new series.
This is a way for me to share what's on my heart and mind in a solo, raw format. It's quick, to the point, and just what's top of mind. Audio recorded on my iPhone.
I hope you find it useful, insightful or helpful in some way.
Like anything, I'm going to do this 100 times.
Maybe it'll be over the next 100 days. Maybe it'll be more drawn out. I'm not sure. It'll just a space for creative exploration in a slightly new format.
I'm excited to test and experiment.

He founded QOL Medical LLC, a specialty pharmaceutical company, in 2002 with a few thousand dollars and sold it in 2012 for over $100 million.

Having spent hours in the library as an adolescent reading biographies of successful men and women, Blake has committed to donating a copy of his book to every library in the United States in hopes that these concepts will inspire today's youth to take control of their lives.

So much gold gets shared in these episodes. I wanted a way to remember, distill, reflect, and resurface.
Share, tweet, or text this episode. That helps it grow. If it grows, the guests will continue to be incredible. And if the guests continue to be incredible, I can keep doing the show.

David Perell is a writer and the creator of Write of Passage - an online writing school focused on building the next generation of internet citizens. In March 2020, I stumbled across David’s account and was blown away by his tweets. They were thoughtful and insightful. So when he suggested interviewing me at his brand new studio, I was honored.
In this conversation we spoke about some of my podcasting secrets, how I do my research, why I admire people like Joe Rogan, Tim Ferriss, Chris Williamson, and Taylor Rooks, the biggest area I believe I need to improve as a podcaster, and what I’m usually doing on Sunday at noon. Some of what we talked about I’ve never shared publicly, and it’s only because of David’s ability as an interviewer to get it out of me.

Dr. Anthony Gustin is the founder of Zero Acre Farms, Perfect Keto & Equip Foods. He is also the host of The Natural State Podcast.
In this conversation, Anthony helped break down why our food is poisoned, what he learned by spending 8 days in Tanzania, why taking a break from work didn’t solve his problems, why you should eat locally, and what he’s learned building his own farm.
There are no ads on this podcast. So here’s my one ask: share the podcast. That’s how this grows. That’s how more people hear it.

David Senra is a podcaster. He is the creator of the Founders Podcast, which deconstructs history’s greatest founders. Basically, he reads an autobiography of a famous founder or high performer (like Michael Jordan or Jay-Z) and then does a podcast on it.

In this episode, we talk about David’s troubled upbringing, the importance of connecting with yourself, why he’s rewatched a Larry Bird video on doubters thousands of times, and why he believes we’re at the beginning of an industry with podcasting.

Welcome to Episode 250. Since Episode 100 was a Q&A, I figured it made sense for Episode 250 to be one as well.
You can learn if I'm going to move to Austin, whether everyone should podcast, my major regrets, what my podcast consumption is like, and my current biggest struggle.
I really enjoyed doing this, and perhaps I will do another one when we hit 10,000 subscribers on YouTube or for Episode 300... whichever comes first. Thank you for the thoughtful questions!

Zach Pogrob is an entrepreneur who’s building Peak Photo Booths. In the past five years, he’s gone from working the photo booth at weddings to starting his own company.
Since we recorded our first episode, Zach's become a great friend. First, he hired me as a photo booth attendant last summer. Then, we bonded over content, creators, and new media. But what’s interesting about Zach is as much as he loves business, he also loves to study the obsessed.
While building his photo booth company, he also started an Instagram page – @behaviorhack – that has almost 200,000 followers. In addition, he’s deeply studied people like Christian Guzman, Gary Vaynerchuk, and Alex Hormozi to figure out how they’ve amassed massive followings. This conversation was a mix of all our interests.
