Just about halfway through this episode, the guest brings The Spaniard to tears. In a good way, people! It's when Summer Fenton gives the highest of praise to those who helped her pursue the dreams that she now lives: Traveling the world as a professional snowboarder and Olympic hopeful. She manages it with a mix of sponsorship and summer side jobs, and it does her soul good. Listen in and learn from a sixth-generation San Franciscan as she takes us her hometown cold water beaches to the stirring back country powder.

In today's AMX, we wrap up my study of Own the Day, Own Your Life by zoning in on sleep, as well as one of the more profound concepts I've come across in my learnings. This is an episode every one of us should listen to. And this book is one you should read. It's literally affecting the way I live my life (and talk to myself).

In today's AMX, I (somewhat awkwardly) talk about sex for the first time in a public forum, and we also learn some valuable ways to disconnect ("turn off and tune in").

Return guest Dave Wagner made an appearance with The Spaniard, and neither sugarcoated what it has taken for Dave to make progress in managing his weight. Along with determination, there has been difficulty and depression. Dave says: "Every day is a choice. I'm doing it for myself, my family, my future. I want to be around to see my kids grow up. I was on a road to death pretty quickly, and I had to get off that road. I had to change my ways, and I have. But it's a constant struggle. Every meal, every snack, every minute is a struggle." Dave will win by playing the long game. Listen to these two friends and partners break down how Dave competes for his own health.
