In just three years, the DeCicco brothers have taken Kitu Super Coffee from a college dorm room to being the #1 selling bottled coffee in the U.S. and a business worth over $100 million! As a freshman basketball player at Philadelphia University, Jordan couldn't find what he needed in terms of bottled coffee to take on the go, "Everything was loaded with sugar and artificial ingredients. I decided I could probably just make something better myself.". A lot of trial and error later, along with concocting protein/coffee mixes in his dorm room, Jordan linked up with his brothers to start KITU. Jordan ended up dropping out of school, "We said, 'This is all or nothing. Let's put ourselves against the wall here and see what we have.". When you make a decision like this, you have no choice but to make things work!

Learn about their experience going on Shark Tank and not landing a deal, what it's like working with family, being named Forbes 30 Under 30, how they continue to push their fitness to the next level and so much more!

Podcast Notes Key Takeaways

• When attempting to change the behavior of someone else, instead of pushing them to change, weaken the restraining force 
• Behaviors don’t always reflect personality; they’re more often a function of the situation
• To improve your decision-making: SLOW DOWN
• When making decisions, think of options as if they were candidates. Break them up into dimensions and evaluate each dimension separately.
  • Then – Delay forming an intuition too quickly. Instead, focus on the separate points, and when you have the full profile, then you can develop an intuition.
• The person who moves first in a negotiation has the advantage
  • Why? – The first number stated changes everyone’s view of what’s considered plausible and moves the discussion in that direction
• Quotes to ponder:
  • “We believe in things, most of the time, not because we have good reason to believe them… We have beliefs because mostly we believe in some people, and we trust them. We adopt their beliefs.“ – Daniel Kahneman
  • “Having a lot of money doesn’t make you happier, but being poor makes you miserable” – Daniel Kahneman
  • “If you really want to improve the quality of decision-making, use algorithms… wherever you can. If you can replace judgment by rules and algorithms, they’ll do better.” – Daniel Kahneman

Podcast Notes Finding Meaning in Struggle and Why We Are Less Happy Than Ever (David Foster Wallace)

• Peter is a massive fan of David Foster Wallace, particularly his famous commencement speech (which he tries to relisten to every month or so)
  • “I’ve been asked before, ‘If you could bring anyone back from the dead, who would it be?’ I think it’d be him. If I could go back in time and spend a day with anybody, it’d probably be with David Foster Wallace.”– Peter Attia
• In the commencement speech, David discusses how we all worship something: whether money, power, your body/physical allure, etc.
  • “He almost makes the case that at least if you pick a God to worship, the harm to you might be less. If it’s money you worship, you’ll never have enough. If it’s power you worship, you’ll never feel strong enough. If it’s intellect you worship, you’ll always feel like a fraud.” – Peter Attia
    • People who place their self-worth in their intellect continuously have feelings of self-doubt
  • Sadly, David ended up taking his own life by suicide 3 years after he gave the talk
• Related – check out David Foster Wallace’s interview with Terry Gross in 1997
  • David is asked about his novel, Infinite Jest, and how he thinks about pleasure:
    • “A lot of the impetus for writing Infinite Jest was just the fact that I was about 30, and I had a lot of friends who were about 30, and we’d all been grotesquely over-educated our whole lives, had better healthcare and more money than our parents did, and we were all extraordinarily sad. I think it has something to do with being raised in an era where a successful life is making a lot of money, having an attractive spouse, or getting famous in some way, allowing you to experience as much pleasure as possible. This ends up being empty and low-calorie… Believe it or not, this came as an epiphany at age 30, sitting around talking about why on earth we were so miserable when we’d been so lucky.” 
    • “I have a very weird and amateur sense than an enormous part of my generation, and the generation right after mine is an extremely sad and lost generation. When you think about the material comforts and political freedoms we enjoy, it’s just strange.”
