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 healthThe best way to sustain and develop your cognitive function is through physical exerciseLearn 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  Read the full notes @ podcastnotes.orgDr. Jordan B. Peterson sits down in-person with Derek from the “More Plates More Dates Podcast.” They discuss Derek's journey into the fitness industry, how he became a main player in the “manosphere,” developing self motivation, effective ways to find a mentor, and how to recognize when the adventure of your life is calling. Derek is the founder of the “More Plates More Dates” YouTube channel, where he discusses strategies to optimize your health and nutrition.

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 Read the full notes @ podcastnotes.orgPsychological Aspects of Survival, 1954 Air Force Manual.Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/jocko-podcast/exclusive-content

Ben Greenfield Fitness Key Takeaways Joe noticed his oldest son was struggling with communicationThey 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 secondsBen 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 HasheyHow 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 HasheyKeep the family workouts funModern-day young men often lack clear rites of passage, leading to confusion about their roles in societyHelp them prove to themselves they can do hard things!Joe climbed Pikes Peak with his 2 sons: Gave them a Garmin outdoor watch to signify they are now more in charge of their dayShow 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 HasheyYour kids are going to establish values, whether you help teach them or not“You need to establish core values, not just good values, but great values and the things that you really stand for, instead of just being this kind of margarine of a good life.”– Joe HasheyThey used a technique called “Kill, Keep, or Combine” to select their core values, narrowing them down to 5 or 6 that are most meaningful to their familyJoe and Mell’s family meetings during Saturday or Sunday dinner:Start with gratitude (family value embodiment)Then go on with discussion topicsTough truths: A chance for everyone to say whatever they wantWeekly commitmentsComplimenting everyone for their contributions Ending meetings with handshakes and hugsThey don’t want to be told what to do Kids love to be a part of the problem-solving, pointing to the kids for the solutionsAlways point to children for solutionsRead the full notes @ podcastnotes.orgEver 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.

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 HolmesTips 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 possibleThere is a lot we can control to reduce vulnerability to diseaseAlign 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 beDo 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 timeWorking out for one hour per day does not give you a license to sit the rest of the day!

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 AttiaSpend good time training in Zone 2; this means a rate you can hold a conversation and form sentences at, but really don’t want toFor many, rate of perceived exertion is an accurate measureMaffetone heart rate is a helpful target: take 180-age for target HRFour things are causal risk factors for atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease: (1) ApoB; (2) insulin resistance; (3) hypertension; (4) smokingStatin 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 AttiaTip: 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 AttiaSleep, energy balance, hormone balance are key as wellTo 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 AttiaThe difference between normal glucose and type 2 diabetes is just a teaspoon of blood glucose – muscle is the sink for glucose disposalSmoking 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 muscleTip: 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 AttiaHormone replacement therapy started at the onset of menopause will help most womenTestosterone 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)Read the full notes @ podcastnotes.org Download the 9-Page "Cognitive Enhancement Blueprint" Discover my premium podcast The Aliquot Show notes are available by clicking here Peter Attia, MD is a highly respected expert in preventive medicine, focused on the crucial subject of longevity and cardiovascular health.
