Podcast Notes Key Takeaways

• “There is much more talent to tap into than ever before, but in most parts of the world, we are screwing it up”– Tyler Cowen
  • “We’re rewarding homework at every stage of the process, and then we’re shocked when we get too many conformists” – Tyler Cowen
  • Credentialism, seniority requirements, bureaucratized evaluations, and conservative HR departments also contribute to the hiring problem
• Tyler’s definition of talent: people with an energetic spark, who have new and creative ideas that will change how things are done
  • In the market of ideas and technology, the top performers are at least 10x more valuable than the average performers—making hiring of utmost importance
• Talented candidates can look ‘beyond the immediate moment‘
  • “It’s very easy to optimize too locally…always try to be looking one level broader”– Tyler Cowen
  • Example: Ask them if Romeo & Juliet were really in love with each other? Or ask who was the best talent scout in Star Wars? Figure out one of the candidate’s interests and ask a question that explores their perception and thought-process rather than just knowledge.
• Unique interview questions:
  • What tabs are currently open on your browser right now? Engaging this question will give you an idea of how they manage their ideas consumption.
  • Which conspiracy theory do you think is plausible? Regardless of the truth, it shows that the candidate is curious and capable of thinking outside the box.
  • How ambitious are you? It’s very hard to fake this answer.
  • How do you practice and improve? Very few people treat their chosen pursuit like that of an athlete or musician. Exceptional people constantly evaluate how their inputs affect their outputs, but few people do it in their professional work.

Tyler Cowen is the Holbert L. Harris Chair of Economics at George Mason University, a columnist, podcaster and an author.

Finding and recruiting the best talent is perhaps the most important job that an organisation has. Skilful, enthusiastic, keen staff can make or break a business, so why is it that most companies are mostly useless when it comes to discovering talent?

Expect to learn whether population collapse is coming very soon, whether talent is innate or developed, why there is a crisis of talent when we have more people on earth than ever before, whether you should look at someone's parents before hiring them, the best questions to ask in an interview, what SpaceX's hiring strategy teaches us about thoroughness, how Tyler screens young staff for the most original thinkers and much more...

Podcast Notes Key Takeaways

• Backwards walking and backwards sled drags are key to building more resilient knees
  • Less risk and more accessible: With squats or other compact lifts, you must move the weight or the weight moves you. With the sled, you just move the weight or you don’t.
  • Benefits: Every time you’re slowly building up strength and circulation. Tendons and ligaments take much longer to see positive change.
• Without motion and compression, your joints won’t get all the nutrients they need
  • Otherwise, your body assumes your joints don’t need them
  • Pain is an opportunity to get better. Identify it and act. Avoiding it will only make it worse.
• Exercise and Physical Therapy don’t have to be two separate things
  • Continue reading for more about the “Knees Over Toes Guy” routine

In this podcast, I discuss a paper that shows profound reductions in sperm concentration (nearly 75%), total sperm count (2/3), and sperm motility (half) after just two 15-minute sauna sessions per week for three months (PMID 23411620). These changes were not reversed after three months cessation of sauna use; a full six months were required for these changes to reverse. It is unknown how the sauna may impact spermatogenesis among those who already have impaired testicular function or during development.It is important to fully explain the risks and harms of interventions that are massively hyped on social media. This podcast offers itself as a corrective to overhyping by the most popular and well-known American health influencers.===Like, comment, subscribe.For more, find me at:PODCAST The Kevin Bass ShowYOUTUBE https://www.youtube.com/user/kbassphiladelphiaWEBSITE http://thedietwars.comTWITTER https://twitter.com/kevinnbass/https://twitter.com/healthmisinfo/INSTAGRAM https://instagram.com/kevinnbass/TIKTOK https://tiktok.com/@kevinnbassAnd above all, please donate to support what I do:PATREON https://patreon.com/kevinnbass/DONATE https://thedietwars.com/support-me/

This episode, I discuss grief and the challenges of processing losses of different kinds. I explain the biological mechanisms of grief, including how neural circuits for emotional and factual memory combine with those for love and attachment, to create feelings of absence and yearning. I discuss how grief is distinct from depression, yet why they can feel so similar. I also provide science-based tools to assist with the grieving process, including how to reframe and remap the relationship with those we have lost while still maintaining a strong emotional connection to them. I also explain the importance of having and building strong foundational psychological and biological states so that we can better cope with grief when it happens. Finally, I describe tools to adjust those states, including those for accessing sleep, managing stress and emotional swings. This episode is for those suffering from grief but also for everyone, given that we all experience grief at some point in our lives.

We recorded this episode before the recent mass shooting tragedies in the United States. While we hope the information in this episode will be of use to anyone suffering from grief of any kind and at any time, we are also careful to acknowledge that many people require additional support and resources. For that reason, we include mention of such resources and we generally hope people will access them if needed.

My guest is Dr. Wendy Suzuki, Ph.D., Professor of Neural Science and Psychology and (soon) Dean of New York University, whose research focuses on memory, attention, brain plasticity and simple, daily habits that can be leveraged to improve learning, focus, memory and cognitive ability. We discuss the role of cardiovascular exercise, weight training, deliberate cold exposure, meditation, verbal affirmations, sleep, and other behavioral practices for enhancing learning, mood and stress management, and increasing attention span. Dr. Suzuki shares the mechanisms by which these practices change our brain in order to improve cognitive function fast and reduce age-related cognitive decline.

What's the single best thing happening in technology right now? According to entrepreneur and venture capitalist Marc Andreessen, it's the ability to live in rural Wisconsin but still earn a Silicon Valley salary. Andreessen also explains to EconTalk host Russ Roberts why software is still eating the world, why he's an optimist, and why he's still bullish on Bitcoin and the blockchain.
