Rich Roll Podcast

Key Takeaways

• Find your talent, not your passion: Being great at something that pays well will make you passionate about whatever that thing is
• Fostering the American Middle Class is the country’s greatest innovation
• You become a man when you add surplus value to society, i.e. when you produce more than you consume
• People under the age of 40 used to control 19% of the GDP, in terms of their wealth; it has since been cut to 9%
• “The most dangerous person in the world is a man who is broken and alone.” – Scott Galloway
• America used to be about giving unremarkable kids remarkable opportunities; the country has since gone away from this
• It is not obvious how to become economically secure without working hard
• Billionaires will tell you to follow your passion, but they probably made their billions in iron ore and smelting
• Near-peer adversaries will not choose to take on the U.S. kinetically; instead, they will likely use AI and other tools to attack America from within and exploit the ongoing loneliness epidemic
• Young professionals should not fall victim to the “myth of balance”; it is very rare to achieve professional success while living a balanced life

This week, I am joined by Scott Galloway, NYU professor, best-selling author, serial entrepreneur, and podcaster, to discuss the multifaceted challenges many young men face today. He underscores the lack of empathy and understanding many experience, attributing it to societal expectations and the impact of technology. Scott emphasizes the winner-take-most economy, which limits opportunities for many young men. Drawing from personal understanding, he stresses the importance of education, support, and the presence of positive male role models. The discussion encompasses economic challenges, the decline of mentorship programs, and the need for reform in higher education institutions. Addressing societal constructs of masculinity and the importance of vulnerability and integrity, Scott advocates embracing emotions and seeking help to navigate life’s hurdles. He stands apart as a model of healthy, grounded masculinity—one defined by humility, emotional intelligence, and a commitment to uplifting the collective rather than indulging narrow self-interest.

Enjoy!

Key Takeaways

• Tips for improved cognition: Sleep, exercise, maintain good metabolic health & low risk of cardiovascular disease, give yourself blocks of time for focused work
  • Exercise for cognitive health: Train cardio in a ratio of 80:20, Zone 2:VO2 max
• Warning: Doses of over the counter melatonin are supraphysiologic; reserve melatonin for jet lag but not as a daily sleep aid to avoid suppressing innate melatonin production
• “If you have every single thing imaginable but you have no connection with other people, what do you have?” – Peter Attia
• Poor emotional health is a threat to longevity
  • Your emotions matter but don’t just take them at face value; use them as cue to dive deeper below the surface and consider the origin
  • Considerations for emotional health: (1) Sense of purpose; (2) Satisfaction and joy; (3) achievement; (4) Quality of relationships; (5) Self-regulation; (6) Distress tolerance
• The next time you are tempted to chastise yourself or use negative self-talk, try this instead:
  • Take out your phone and voice record a description of what you would say to a friend if they just committed the same act you were just about to punish in yourself
  • For example, instead of yelling at yourself for burning dinner, pull out your phone and record yourself talking to a friend who is upset they just burned dinner – you will find yourself much kinder to them than yourself
  • With practice, you will still remember the incident happened, but you will be able to move on easier without it ruining the day
• TRT is safe in men who actually need it; the risk is in the supraphysiologic levels being administered to people who don’t need it and without proper guidance or supervision
• Focus on healthspan and you’ll get the byproduct of improved lifespan
• Stop giving into the noise! People spend way too much energy getting worked up about silly things instead of focusing on the big picture
  • The cereal is processed and made of junkier ingredients in the US than other places – but should you be eating the cereal in the first place?

Key Takeaways

• The future is now with stem cell treatments for longevity – stem cell treatments can be targeted, dosed, and have predictable outcomes like pharmaceuticals
  • In early trials, stem cells transplanted into the brain created new dopamine neurons and put Parkinson’s disease into remission
• To tackle longevity, we need to go back to first-order principles of wellness: muscle, inflammation, oxidative stress
• Tip: have an accountability system, whether it’s a health coach or buddy who will hold you to it
• Medicine 4.0 is on the horizon, allowing people greater access to gene therapy treatments to help people increase their healthspan
  • Look out for klotho, NK cell treatments, placental implants, and Vagus nerve blocks to become common practice

Jordan B Peterson Podcast

Key Takeaways

• You don’t get to choose your callings; what interests you may be out of your control
• Mentorship is a manifestation of the instinct for fatherhood; the species would not survive without this instinct
• If a topic consumes you, use that obsession to your advantage
• No matter where you are on your path to a goal, some people are behind you and who may benefit from the things that you have learned thus far
• If you are seeking mentorship, do not just “take” in the interaction; be willing to provide value and make the interaction worthwhile for the mentor
• While there is not a lot you can do to increase your raw intelligence, you can discipline yourself to become more conscientious, which is the second-best predictor of success in a complex enterprise
• The markers that we find attractive in others are typically the markers of biological health
• The best way to sustain and develop your cognitive function is through physical exercise
• Learn from those who are in your proximate zone of development; exclusively learning from the top 1% of a given field may not be relevant to you, depending on your current ability

Ben Greenfield Fitness

Key Takeaways

• Joe noticed his oldest son was struggling with communication
• They created games and activities to fill in the gaps
  • “Popsicle stick game”:
    • Pick out someone’s name and a topic and then you have to keep eye contact and have a conversation about that topic for 60 seconds
• Ben suggests Rhetoric, a great game to make you speak but also to get to know better your friends and family
• “We need to take the best practices that a lot of people put into major organizations and apply them to our family, whether it’s business, sports teams, music world… Everything is well organized but for some reason, our families are just kind of like ‘Let’s just let it happen and hope it works out well.'” – Joe Hashey
• How do Joe and Mell involve their children?
  • Build a habit of morning exercise
  • “5 minutes of morning exercise doesn’t make a world of physical difference but it makes a world of difference in their habits.” – Joe Hashey
  • Keep the family workouts fun
• Modern-day young men often lack clear rites of passage, leading to confusion about their roles in society
• Help them prove to themselves they can do hard things!
• Joe climbed Pikes Peak with his 2 sons:

    • Show up on time, decide their habits, etc.
  • They also introduced the concept of giving up some childhood items to embrace the next phase of life
• “What’s memorable is portable.” – Joe Hashey
• Your kids are going to establish values, whether you help teach them or not

Ever found yourself pondering the decisions you'd navigate if life orchestrated an unexpected turn and reshaped your family's journey?

My guests today, Joe and Mell Hashey, had their lives turned upside down in 2020, forcing them to bid farewell to their cherished "dream home" and embark on a 2,000-mile journey to an unfamiliar town, where they knew no one. This transformative experience became the catalyst for the creation of Strong Family Co. — a versatile framework any family can adopt to establish values and cultivate stress-free family leadership.

Joe Hashey earned his Master of Education from Colgate University, where he played football for a few years before four knee surgeries. He went on to become an award-winning high school social studies teacher for eight years and a local youth coach. Mell Hashey is a former social worker turned stay-at-home mom of three.

In college, Joe's father passed away due to preventable health issues. Fueled by a passion for promoting health and wellness, Joe launched a local personal training company dedicated to helping busy adults live longer and healthier lives. He has been a prominent leader in his community for 15 years and was honored as the Chamber of Commerce's Small Business Person of the Year in 2018.

Realizing he was dedicating more time to his business than to his family, Joe swiftly rebalanced. Now, as a business consultant for companies coast to coast, he applies those lessons to guide the most important organization in his life: his family.

Together, the Hasheys penned, Strong Family Guidebook: Your Guide to Raising Confident, Independent, and Resilient Children, a practical guide full of the wisdom that transformed their family into a resilient unit. Joe and Mell emphasize the irreplaceable role parents play in their children's lives, reminding you that amidst career and financial pursuits, parenthood is earned through daily commitment. From organizing family meetings to instilling lasting principles in your children, The Strong Family Guidebook offers an operating system for your family's unique values and dynamics, fostering a resilient family, where individual strengths contribute to the collective magic that binds you together.

Jocko Podcast

Key Takeaways

• Your survival may depend more on your personality than upon danger, the enemy, the weather, the terrain, or the nature of the emergency
• Survival depends a great deal on your knowing and facing the situation, but you are part of the situation
• Taking action reduces fear; there is nothing that makes fear worse than hesitation
• Survival requires the ability to detach from the situation
• “You can only improve your weaknesses if you’re humble enough to admit them.” – Jocko Willink
• Both pessimism and unrealistic optimism are equally dangerous to survival
• Seek out things that make you uncomfortable so that you become more comfortable with being uncomfortable

The Diary Of A CEO with Steven Bartlett

Key Takeaways

• Light is the signal our brain uses as a master clock, regulating our circadian rhythm – we have to sleep at the right time, view light at the right time, and be in darkness at the right time
  • “Our relationship to light will directly influence the trajectory of our health. There’s just no question about that.” ­– Kristen Holmes
• “Sleep is the greatest natural performance enhancer we have on this planet.” – Kristen Holmes
• Tips for deeper sleep: view bright light within 20 minutes of waking; dim all lights and avoid light viewing as much as possible after the sun sets; avoid eating 3 hours before bed; sleep in a dark, cold room; manage stress throughout the day as much as possible
• There is a lot we can control to reduce vulnerability to disease
• Align your behaviors with the things you say you care about– if you’re struggling to adopt healthier behaviors, you need to find clarity on what you care about; this could mean cutting people or things out of your life who do not support who you want to be
  • Your behaviors send you closer or further from the person you want to be
  • Do the work to figure out who you want to be in the world: what do you value, who do you want to be, how do you want to spend your time
• Working out for one hour per day does not give you a license to sit the rest of the day!
  • Exercise to optimize HRV:(1) Zone 5 (max heart rate) 2-3 times per week; (2) 200-300 minutes of zone 2 per week
• Top tips for better health today: (1) prioritize consistent sleep-wake cycle; (2) consume all calories within a 10-hour timeframe, ideally ending 3 hours before bed
  • Just these two will have a significant downstream effect and regulate your relationship with light

Found My Fitness - Rhonda Patrick

Key Takeaways

• “The healthier an individual is, the more they can rely on their mitochondria for ATP generation under increasing demands of the cell. This is one of the hallmarks of health.” – Dr. Peter Attia
  • Spend good time training in Zone 2; this means a rate you can hold a conversation and form sentences at, but really don’t want to
  • For many, rate of perceived exertion is an accurate measure
  • Maffetone heart rate is a helpful target: take 180-age for target HR
• Four things are causal risk factors for atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease: (1) ApoB; (2) insulin resistance; (3) hypertension; (4) smoking
• Statin use is inexpensive, accessible, and effective but “If money were no issue, you’d probably just be on PCKS9 inhibitors, ezetimibe, and bempedoic acid.” – Dr. Peter Attia
• Tip: don’t skip your eye exams! By looking at the retina and capillaries at the back of the eye, diabetes can be detected earlier
• “Exercise is probably the single most important thing we have at our disposal to increase insulin sensitivity.” – Dr. Peter Attia
  • Sleep, energy balance, hormone balance are key as well
• To optimize cardiovascular health and mitochondrial efficiency: start with how much time you’re willing to exercise – then divide that into 80/20 with 80% at zone 2 and 20% at VO2 max
  • VO2 max sweet spot is 3-8 minutes with 1:1 ratio of rest to recovery – it takes some time to find how much effort you can put out in this time; it’s slower than a Tabata (20 on/10 off x 8 rounds) but by no means endurance
• “Exercise is probably the single most important thing we have at our disposal to increase insulin sensitivity.” – Dr. Peter Attia
  • The difference between normal glucose and type 2 diabetes is just a teaspoon of blood glucose – muscle is the sink for glucose disposal
• Smoking and obesity are the greatest modifiable risk factors for cancer
  • Why obesity? It’s not actually the amount of fate cells; it’s likely the inflammatory environment that comes with obesity –the excess fat that spills into areas where fat accumulation is harmful like around organs, in muscle
• Tip: don’t rely on mammograms exclusively, especially if you’re high risk – combine with ultrasound or MRI
• “There has been no greater disservice brought by the medical community onto anyone, in particular in this case women, than the abject failure of the Women’s Health Initiative.” – Dr. Peter Attia
  • Hormone replacement therapy started at the onset of menopause will help most women
• Testosterone replacement therapy in men should be based on bloodwork in combination with symptoms – but be conservative, there are side effects for individuals at risk (hair loss, slightly elevated risk of cardiovascular events, acne)
