Inspired by Superman as a kid, Carl wanted to write about letting those metaphorical bullets bounce off you. In this Get Yourself Optimized episode, Carl and I talk about how life is a story: whether the narrative is told by you or by someone else—what you choose to say or believe is simply a way of framing experiences.

Another good way to say "stop and smell the roses" is "sit back and enjoy a nice cup of tea." On today's Get Yourself Optimized episode, Anthony Capobianco joins me to talk about the lifestyle of slowing down to get ahead and what makes a great cup of tea. Anthony was grinding hard at work as a successful mortgage banker until he found himself sick more often than not. He realized he needed to slow things down. He did this through tea, and he created a simple mindful approach to this age-old beverage that only takes a moment. It can help you feel more connected. Fast forward to today, Anthony is the founder of Zen Tea Traders where he helps people step up their tea game while slowing things down a bit.
