    • #71 Carl Paoli: Smart Body. Strong Mind.
      In this podcast episode, Carl Paoli explores the evolution of our species and how we can progress and adapt to changes. He discusses the three aspects of health: performance, life, and the individual, and how understanding individual progress leads to collective improvement. Paoli also talks about the importance of tool-making and resource management and the significance of agriculture in human evolution. The main takeaways from this episode are:
      Fitness is our ability to meet a standard, breakthrough, and experience growth, which brings a sense of fulfillment and completion that is health.
      Our ability to define ourselves and adapt to changing environments has allowed us to survive as a species, but it also requires humility and a willingness to acknowledge our limitations.
      Knowing how behavior affects physical evolution is crucial, as seen in the differences between humans and chimpanzees.
      Fire was a significant adaptation in human evolution, and the modern-day equivalent could be technology such as Neuralink.
      Tool making, resource management, and agriculture were crucial adaptations that allowed humans to progress and thrive.

    • #70 After Show with Ryan Orrico | Episode #69

      Carl Paoli and Ryan Orrico catch up the week after recording the podcast episode to catch up via Instagram Live.

      This is the first official After Show.


      Ryan Orrico, presents as the anti-coach and experiments with different identities and bold voices on social media that strike a delicate balance between being offensive and sensitive.

      In a sea of generic and unhelpful coaching advice, those who dare to look beyond their fragile constructs of moral integrity see Orrico for what he is: an impactful and needed voice, which makes him more of a coach than most.

      His preferred method is writing and learning out loud.

      Listen in; you might learn something.
