I Learned A System For Remembering Everything Sep 19, 2024

Show notes

Ever read a book, loved it, and then quickly forgotten half of what you learned? Same here. After my wife gifted me Ryan Holiday's Courage Is Calling, I realized I needed more than just courage as I prepared to make one of the biggest transitions in my life—I needed a way to actually remember the insights I was reading. So, I dug into the systems used by brilliant minds to recall information and a method for retaining what matters most.

How To Be Miserable For The Rest of Your Life Sep 16, 2024

Show notes

During a casual family walk, something hit me—not literally, though my head’s always on a swivel like a New York pigeon. It struck me that the last 452 episodes have all been about doing the right things. But what if we flipped that on its head? What if, instead of doling out practical advice, we took a completely different approach? In this reverse tutorial, I’ll walk you through the key steps to ensure you stay stuck and miserable—whether it's avoiding discomfort, sticking to bad habits, or finding new ways to procrastinate. Because sometimes, hearing what not to do might just be the wake-up call you need. If you feel yourself getting defensive, that’s probably a sign we’re hitting some hard truths.

Building A 100+ Year Legacy Sep 12, 2024

Show notes

Legacy, it’s a word we often hear but rarely take the time to truly understand. In this episode, I reflect on my own journey of thinking about the future, especially after starting a family. Inspired by an incredible story from the 1800s, I dive into how Alfred Nobel, the man behind the Nobel Peace Prize, completely reshaped his legacy and how that same mindset can guide us today. From innovative prizes that sparked groundbreaking achievements to the idea of creating lasting impact, this episode explores how we can all build a legacy that can last for 100+ years.

Improving Your Gut Microbiome Health Sep 09, 2024

Show notes

Around 95% of serotonin is produced in the gut, highlighting the strong link between gut health and mental health issues like anxiety and depression. With 90% of Americans showing signs of metabolic dysfunction, it's no wonder that interest in gut health has skyrocketed, with Google searches up 300% since 2016. Today, I'm joined by Dr. Adam Perlman, Chief Medical Officer at Pendulum and former Director of Integrative Health and Wellbeing at the Mayo Clinic. A nationally recognized expert in gut health and chronic disease prevention, Dr. Perlman sheds light on the crucial connection between our microbiome and overall health. We discuss the importance of maintaining a balanced gut bacteria population, what to avoid to protect this balance, what to include to support it, the link between food cravings and the microbiome, and key considerations when choosing probiotics.

How To Get Things Done As A Perfectionist Sep 02, 2024

Show notes

You know that nagging feeling that nothing’s ever quite good enough? Yeah, I get it too. I’m a perfectionist, through and through. Not just a little, but the full-blown kind that obsesses over every tiny detail until it’s just right. Sounds exhausting, right? It can be, but here’s the twist—what if perfectionism isn’t the villain it’s made out to be? In this episode, I dive into the good, the bad, and the downright frustrating sides of striving for perfection. Whether it's helping you level up or holding you back, I’ll show you how to make perfectionism work for you.

The Power of Showing Up Aug 29, 2024

Show notes

On a quiet Sunday morning, I found myself captivated by a bird on a mission—flying tirelessly back and forth, building a nest outside my home. Watching this little creature work day after day, I realized it embodied qualities we often overlook: consistency, perseverance, and relentless ambition. Often we, as humans, struggle to show up for ourselves, especially when life throws obstacles our way. It’s easy to get discouraged when results don’t appear immediately or when life’s challenges seem too big to overcome. But just like that bird, the secret to success lies in showing up, day after day, no matter what. In this episode, I reflect on the power of consistency and how it has played a crucial role in my own life—from failed startups to personal challenges.

The Philosophy That Made Tony Robbins A Self-Help Success Aug 22, 2024

Show notes

Standing next to Tony Robbins is like standing next to a giant. At 6 foot 6 and 275 pounds, he towers over most people, including me at 5 foot 8 on a good day. But Tony Robbins isn’t just a physical giant—he’s been dominating the self-help world since 1997, earning the title of the nation’s #1 Life and Business Strategist. Millions know his name, have attended his events, and read his books. But few know the man who inspired Tony's success. That man was Jim Rohn, the original godfather of self-help, whose philosophy helped shape Tony into the powerhouse he is today. In this episode, I dive deep into the philosophy that turned Tony Robbins from a janitor making $40 a week into a multimillionaire.

How Doing A Bad Job Will Change Your Life Aug 19, 2024

Show notes

Before you throw in the towel because you’re not instantly good at something, let’s talk. We’ve all heard, "If you can’t do it right, don’t do it at all," but what if that's holding you back? In this episode, I challenge the fear of failure that keeps so many from trying new things. From feeling weak at the gym to sounding terrible on your first podcast, sucking at something is part of the process. I explore how embracing imperfection and doing a bad job, at least at first, can actually change your life for the better. Because if it's worth doing, it's worth doing wrong until you get it right.
