On Today’s Episode – 
Today’s episode is less about politics and more about your health.  Our guest today is Dr. Nicole Avena, a returning guest to the show.  Mark gives us a little history about Nicole’s CV, and then dives right in. 
If sugar was discovered today, it might be a controlled substance.  It would be less known as food, and more like a drug.  Sugar is no different than other street drugs except it is pervasive and more accepted.  Nicole tells us a little about the addictive nature of sugar.  Humans evolved to like the taste of sweet.  We relate sweetness with safety and health.  We need to stop using sugar as a reward and treat it more like a drug that harms us.
When we look at the data, the average human consumes about 22 teaspoons of sugar per day.  The Doctors talk a myriad of topics related to how. You can help yourself get. Rid.  Of sugar in your diet.
Tune in for all the conversation.

Sugarless – w/ Dr Nicole Avena

Emmy-winning game show legend Chuck Woolery joins forces with polymath and serial entrepreneur Mark Young to tackle the toughest issues of the day, without the usual angry white guy banter. Part talk show, part Ted Talk, the show features Chuck and Mark exploring topics one at a time by pulling back the curtain, setting aside the political rhetoric and laying out the truth using science, research and hard facts.

Mark and John dive right in and start us off by talking some of Biden’s history of lying.  With his possible cognitive decline along with major media outlets so trying to protect him, Biden is one of the weakest candidates for President of all time.  
We jump over to jobs, and what are the true numbers.  People feel like their wages are down, but the Biden Administration keeps saying wages are up, but they are NOT up against the record inflation.  
The government puts all these regulations on, which causes operating costs to go up, or they make businesses responsible for functions that are a government function.  When you look at Biden, Warren, or Sanders – they spend all day talking about tax the rich.  They never tell us what a “fair share” is, nor do they talk about 1% paying 40% of the budget.

Chris's New Book 
Empathy and Understanding In Business
In the business times of yesteryear, many did not believe that empathy and understanding mixed well with sound business decisions. However, with the more recent breed of entrepreneurs, many have increasingly recognized that successful and long-lasting relationships depend on using both empathy and understanding to build a solid foundation.
The master of negotiation and Celebrity Expert(R) in this book, Chris Voss, reminds us that entrepreneurs want lasting relationships that build trust and clientele. He questions if anyone associates empathy with enterprise and entrepreneurism, and states that the qualities of trust and lasting relationships come out of understanding and respect for each other. In short, as stated by Brené Brown, "Empathy fuels connection."
To learn more about negotiation and how the Celebrity Experts(R) herein have improved their negotiating skills, it would be beneficial to read about their accomplishments. They have honed their skills and can be great mentors. They will tell you what worked for them and what did not - saving you time, energy and cost of 'reinventing the wheel' - the path to success - in negotiating.

Mark dives right in with our guest Charles Sauer.  They talk similar likes as far as authors go and give the listeners some options for good reads.  We move to operating systems for economies.  We get a clear definition of capitalism and how it was named by it’s enemies, and how it can actually work.
We move to TikTok, and the why’s and how’s of it.  Mark goes all PhD. Into the science about how algorithms work and how it is very similar to how slot machines work.  Dopamine hits matter, and social media knows it.  
We wrap things up with a conversation on economics and the Biden budget.  Mark and Charles explain how our current economy and budget’s truths can be manipulated by politicians and news outlets when they explain things like “we created a bunch of jobs”.
