  • Episode 176: My Friend Max Nottonson Joins the Show for Philosophy and Ramblings

    Max Nottonson has been a friend of mine for over two years and he was long overdue to come back on the podcast! We got to talking about changing identity, and although it was mentioned, didn't quite get to talk about Max's automated fitness habits. He will be back soon! Max has worked as a fitness coach and is currently working in influencer marketing. We talked about a wide range of topics including the books we're into, instant vs. long term gratification, and happiness in life/career.

    • Episode 175: Phil White on Book Writing and Being a Leader

      Today on the podcast I was joined by Emmy-Nominated writer and co-author of bestselling books: Unplugged, Game Changer, The 17 Hour Fast, Waterman 2.0 and coming in November, The Leader’s Mind. In this podcast we talked about writing as it relates to personal productivity and the delicate balance we try to strike between doing important work and just living life (plus dealing with burnout). We also talked about why and how everyone can be a leader as well as Phil's best interview tips.

      • Episode 174: Anders Varner on the Big Rocks of Fitness and Being a "Diesel Dad"

        If you are no longer lucky enough to be in your 20s with hours a day to workout, you may be experiencing a deterioration in your fitness from a death of a thousand cuts. Anders knows that fitness impacts our relationships, our confidence and our happiness more than we realize. That's why he created the Diesel Dad program to help anyone get into or back into the best shape of their life without changing their entire life around. "Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day, teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime." -Lao Tzu
