  • #31 - Ben Greenfield
    Ben Greenfield is a leader in health and wellness, and is the author of 13 books with a new one on parenting, out soon. He is a highly sought after podcast guest as well as a pioneer in podcasting, having his own show since about the first 20 shows on iTunes, having to code each individual episode. He is a renaissance man, a total human optimizer, and an absolute beast at 40 years old. To start our day we had a killer workout session at Onnit and it’s the first time I needed a trash can, in case I was going to throw up. Ben is a wealth of knowledge, incredibly interesting, and you will surely learn quite a lot to optimize your health, your sleep, and your family, as I did in this episode. 
    I’m a fan of Ben’s work, his life, and who he is as a person. I’m honored to introduce you to Ben if you haven’t heard of him, and if you have, I believe you will find something valuable to your life. We had some fun at the end, and wrapped it up with an Animal Psychology quiz I gave Ben to find his spirit animal backed by Carl Jung’s work. If you want to do the test yourself, pause the episode and follow along, writing down your answers. 
    Listen too for how Ben wrote his new book on parenting, and his advice on travel workouts, travel sleep hacks, and so much more valuable info.

  • Introducing Overcome with Justin Wren
    Everyone you meet, every single day, is fighting a battle you know nothing about. We are all in the process of overcoming something big, something small, but we are faced with the challenge to overcome all the time. You, me, we have overcome 100% of our darkest days.
     
    I’m Justin Wren, and I believe we are all Overcomers if we choose to overcome. We all have the option. I have overcome childhood trauma, sexual abuse, immense bullying, depression, suicidal ideation, self-imposed substance abuse, and addiction to numb my pain, and I survived two real-deal suicide attempts. 
     
    I am blessed with great friends like Joe Rogan, Dustin Poirier, and Manny Pacquiao, who have helped me, Justin Wren, share my story, Fight For The Forgotten, and the story of the Pygmy people. Joe Rogan had me on the Joe Rogan Experience 9 different times to share my story and experiences with Fight For The Forgotten and the Pygmy people. Joe Rogan, Dustin Poirer, and Manny Pacquiao have helped me raise an immense amount of funds for Fight For The Forgotten.
     
    This podcast is my opportunity to give back. To share the most remarkable stories of people who have overcome adversity and remind each of you listening that you have overcome 100% of your darkest days, and now is no time to stop. I will have guests like Joe Rogan, Dustin Poirer, Manny Pacquiao, Jared Padalecki, Tim Dillon, Tim Kennedy, Laird Hamilton, Gabby Reece, Kelly Slater, Mike Tyson, Ed Mylett, David Sinclair and many more on the show.
