MInd Pump

Podcast Notes Key Takeaways

• The best way to improve pull-ups is to practice pull-ups frequently, at a low intensity – just doing 1-3 reps often
• Low-intensity band-assisted pull-ups are beneficial in building strength until you can wean off
• Once you can do a few pull-ups without assistance, start adding in 1-2 reps with load to see big improvements
• To build arms: low reps, high weight for compound moves; high reps, low weight for isolation moves
• Work with a few different angles in each set of bicep and triceps training for max growth
• Develop shoulders to increase definition in biceps and triceps
• If you want to be strong in the real world – don’t use a lifting belt; if you want to be strong in the gym – use a lifting belt when you’re pushing your maxes
• Be careful with lifting belts because they change muscle recruitment patterns and you can become dependent for lifts
• To recover from overtraining: get a good night of sleep, keep hydrated, be sure to hit protein intake, stay active with mobility and stretching – deep tissue massage and infrared sauna if possible

Jocko Podcast

Podcast Notes Key Takeaways

• Successful leaders constantly allow their opinions/plans to be negotiated; this creates honest/open discourse
  • Understand that everyone in the organization wants to win, earnest dialogue creates legitimate feedback
  • Appropriate strategic discourse is only obtained from offering solutions, and not just identifying problems
• The phrase ‘well-oiled machine’ is actually counterproductive to decentralized command
  • Machines are typically single function and follow the rule of the task given. This limits your employees to be adaptive and creative in their opportunity to take ownership of a solution.
• The best form of leadership is no leadership
  • When culture creates a common understanding of purpose and goals, leadership becomes invisible

Journalist and author Michael Easter talks about his book The Comfort Crisis with EconTalk host Russ Roberts. Easter thinks modern life is too easy, too comfortable. To be healthy, he says, we need to move out of our comfort zones and every once in a while try to do something, especially something physically demanding, that we didn't think was possible. Easter discusses rising levels of anxiety and depression in the West and why taking on challenges can be part of the solution.

Today, we’re bringing back one of Lewis' favorite interviews from the past with Novak Djokovic.

He is currently ranked as world No. 1 by the Association of Tennis Professionals. Djokovic has been No. 1 for a record of over 320 weeks. Lewis felt very inspired this last week as he watched him win his 20th Grand Slam title in Wimbledon and wanted to reflect back on the conversation from 2017. After the interview, we’ve also added a special bonus conversation between Novak, Jay Shetty, and Lewis from last year where they were able to spend some time together playing all different types of sports.

In this episode Lewis and Novak discuss how Novak started playing tennis & persevered through a traumatic childhood, how Novak recovered from his lowest point, how to understand the power of the mind to build a champion mindset, what love means to Novak and why it’s so important for him, and so much more!

• Emotions are powerful and are required even for making investing decisions
• Investors often make decisions, not on the data, but on how confident they feel about the implications of the data
• “Everybody in the market has like fear of missing out or fear of future regret” – Denise Shull
• The Two Stages of Portfolio Management:
  • Stage 1: Use your observations and experiences to decide what you believe
  • Stage 2: Take those beliefs and use them to determine your portfolio
• A fundamental conflict between two emotions often creates a problem both in investing and in life
• After a failure, you need to go through a kind of grieving process – ask yourself: What am I feeling and why am I feeling it?
• Research shows that if athletes write about a failure and their feelings, they get over it more quickly than when as coaches say, they try to ‘shake it off’
• Writing is a great mechanism for releasing emotion

Drive with Dr. Peter Attia

Podcast Notes Key Takeaways

• Volunteer for things you’re scared of and you’ll never miss an opportunity
• “Make your eulogy better than your resume” – Peter Attia
• Criticism typically derives from a lack of understanding
  • Hugh Jackman rarely reads reviews while a performance is still running, as he doesn’t want negative outside bias to affect the vision of the theater
• There is a tedious balance in trauma because the event is preferably avoidable but contrarily, inner desire and drive is often created from negative circumstances
• Hugh’s son (Oscar) thought that if John Lennon could be killed, he believed famous people like his father were in constant danger and didn’t approve of Hugh’s profession
• Hugh has a high desire for the audience to have an ‘I was there when…’ type moment in every one of his performances
• Logan (Wolverine) as a character gave Hugh Jackman the opportunity to explore and appreciate the alternate perspective of different personality traits
  • The emotions you feel are the ‘right’ emotions – there are no appropriate emotions, your reaction is your truth
• “In film, you don’t want 1+1=2. That’s science. In art, you want 1+1=3 and spend the movie proving it” -Hugh Jackman quoting Jim Mangold

• Two make-or-break marketing questions
  • 1. How good is your product?
  • 2. How well are you selling it?
• Minority rule is where a small boycotting minority can change the consumption patterns of a much larger group by simply refusing to consume something
• If you want support, ask for advice – when you ask for an opinion, you turn on a person’s critic mode
• “The worst mistake you can make in a social setting is to appear not to understand the implicit rules of the game, like dress codes” – Rory Sutherland
• People use the ambiguity around a rule set to exclude other people 
• If you have subtle normative rules, it’s a nasty way of practicing exclusion
• “The objective of nearly all of woke speech is more or less compatible with anybody’s aspiration to be a civilized and decent human being. To be honest, a decent, reputable human being is generally a pretty woke human being.”- Rory Sutherland
• People stop making intelligent decisions about risks when they allow the regulatory rules to take the place of judgment – their reasoning: if it’s regulatorily approved, the blame will fall somewhere else

My guest today is Silicon Valley icon, Marc Andreessen. Before co-founding the legendary venture capital firm, Andreessen Horowitz, Marc was an early pioneer of the internet. At age 22, he built Mosaic, the first widely adopted web browser and the technology that underpinned Netscape Communications. Marc was an early proponent of cloud computing, social networks, and the software business model. In each case, Marc seemed to be well ahead of the crowd. During our conversation, we explore how software is making the world better, how slow sectors like education, healthcare, and housing are eating the economy, and Marc’s vision of the future for A16Z. Please enjoy my conversation with Marc Andreessen.
