Episode 2 Quotable moments:

13:18: “The tools we use to communicate have changed. You're absolutely right. The tools we use to communicate have changed. The human brain has not. The better you understand how people process information. The more persuasive, the more successful you'll be at communicating your ideas.”

14:43: “Storytelling is what separated our species and make it, and made us that dominant. Stories inform, they illuminate, they inspire. So you're suggesting the tools have changed. Absolutely. We have different ways of reaching people, but they are still connected to one another through the power of story. So you still have to be a good storyteller story.”

25:55: “We're all storytellers. You are the storyteller-in-chief for your household brand. You're the household CEO, but you are the storyteller in chief. No one else is going to be able to tell that story as well as you. So think of yourself not as giving a presentation, not as giving a pitch, not as taking a meeting, but as telling a story. And you'll find that your content and the way you express yourself will change based on the way you've reframed the way you see yourself.”

27:45: “So there's a lot, there's a lot to learn about storytelling, but start paying attention and see yourself as a storyteller and not a presenter.”

Episode 2 Quotable moments:

41:38 “There is physical trauma and nonphysical trauma. The nonphysical things can be breaking your leg, having surgery, having ulcers, or having an autoimmune disease. All these things generate the chemicals of inflammation, that's the cytokines that we talked about.

42:00 “So testosterone isn't just about reproduction or sex or libido. It also functions to shut down inflammation in the brain and in the body. And to elevate the protection of the brain.”

43:34 “Andrew didn't have depression before he woke up with it and people said, oh, you've now become a depressive person. They didn't put the two and two together that way. Maybe something in your past has created the change in the chemistry that's presented as depression.”

1:00:38 “And we talk about it in terms of biological resiliency. Why is it that some of the people that were exposed to the same traumas that Andrew was, did not develop the extent of injuries he did, or the people who developed it instead of six months in one month, two months, or three months? It's called biological resiliency.”

1:01:32 “Exercise helps to increase brain-derived neurotrophic factor, which protects the brain, you know, so it's, it's not just looking at hormones and it's not just about peptides, it's about the entire lifestyle.”

Episode 2 Quotable moments:

16:51 “So we are the author, we're the editor, we're the producer of our own stories. And that narrative, that writing that happens is our self-talk, or what do we say to ourselves? And some research shows that we have about 66,000 independent thoughts in a day.”

17:11 “So if you think about our thoughts, they're constantly flowing like a river. Think about the undercurrent of our subconscious thoughts and 90% of how we think. It's subconscious. We're not aware of it. 10% of those thoughts are on the surface. So how do those thoughts manifest in our own conscious minds? Well, it's the self-taught piece, right?

17:30 “If we can understand how we talk to ourselves, and we understand that some studies show that 80% of our self-talk is negative, that becomes a self-fulfilling process. So you think about if I have negative self-talk, I'm essentially undermining everything that I do.”

19:45 “If you're aware of your thoughts, you then are more likely to then be able to change what your thoughts are.”

28:42 “But if you're intentionally repping out that self-talk, that again, moves things from the conscious to the subconscious, right? So now when I'm responding to situations where I don't have time to think, now I've changed the neural structure in terms of what my response and what my talk is, and that narrative will affect change. But the only way you can change those neural pathways is through deliberate practice.”

Episode 1 Quotable moments:

02:02 “When I was researching a book on Bezos. The first thing he said is, Carmine, you've gotta dig into those shareholder letters. He said, those letters should be taught to every business student in the country. And then he added, if I were 20 years younger, I'd teach the class myself.”

3:08 “Writing and communication is a skill. And like any skill. You can sharpen it with time. It can be developed over time. So I like to say that great communicators are made not born. Like any skill, you can improve. Jeff Bezos certainly did. If you look at the first 10 years of letters that he wrote about Amazon, they kind of scored around a 10th-grade level, some college level, so they were a little confusing, but they had some really great words of wisdom.”

4:20 “Whether it's writing, public speaking, giving presentations, anything that has to do with leadership and communication, we can all get better at it. We can all improve.”

6:08 “Use short words to talk about hard things. As Amazon grew in complexity, as Amazon added more than a million employees and got into cloud computing and artificial intelligence, the writing that Bezos did grew shorter and simpler.”

8:33 “Because we're overthinking it. We have to sound smart. Well, that, I guess means using longer words. And yet the counterintuitive secret of success is the more confident you are and the better you understand a concept, you're more likely to simplify it for your audience. It's counterintuitive, but I think it's a very powerful concept that anyone can use.”

Episode 1 Quotable moments:

02:56 “I was forced to be medically retired. I was put on double-digit medication labeled with 30-plus disabilities and told that I was basically gonna be a vegetable for the rest of my life. And today, I'm performing as good, if not better, than my pre-injury status.

3:20 “So, that's the story here, is that an individual can return to life and actually be able to have the energy and the foresight to identify what it is they want to do with their life and pursue it in the way that they want to, whatever that means for the individual.”

8:36 ”Now, the unique thing about that is the guys in the [special operations] community, they're screened specifically to be psychologically and emotionally resilient. You know, in addition to their physical and intellectual capabilities."

15.26 “So, I'm experiencing this now what I thought was a psychologically weak or emotionally weak individual's problem, right? Tough people don't experience this. So that's why I just, I couldn't wrap my head around it.”

20:42” What's happening is the brain is being jarred, as Andrew said, back and forth left and right, and every time it gets jarred, it creates a scenario to produce what's called inflammation. And the inflammation has a name for it, which are called cytokines. It's part of our immune system."

21:54 “Without melatonin, you can't sleep, and in one hundred percent of Veterans in the military population, we see they have three classical, one hundred percent symptoms, fatigue, insomnia, and depression. And that's all due to that inflammation cutting off these chemicals that are produced.”

Episode 2 Quotable moments:

14:40 “What is your approach to getting things done? And I didn't really have a clear answer. I think it kind of goes back to that identity list of you have these ideas in your head of what you are or how you do things, but until you put them down on paper, you've never clarified it.”

15:33 “My approach [is] abandoning every complex app and to-do software and things like that that I used to spend hours trying to perfect. And really just coming back to like a pen-and-paper list where I keep track of different areas, my projects, tasks, and open loops.

20:52 “I think you can only be progressing in three things at any given time. And I've realized that the amount of effort that it takes to grow something is usually far more than people think, and the amount of effort that it takes to maintain is usually far less.”

23:46 “That delayed residual I've applied to health, business, relationship, hobbies, all of that. And it all comes back to if I know that I'm gonna be playing this game for a long time, this game of life, I know I'm going to have plenty of time to apply that uni-directional training on a bunch of different areas.”

Episode 1 Quotable moments:

00:40 "So mental toughness is the ability and willingness to execute tasks at the upper range of your potential, regardless of outcomes. Okay, that's a bunch of psycho-babble. So let's get a practical street definition. Mental toughness is getting the most out of what you have to be at your best when it matters the most.”

01:16 “The four Cs of mental toughness are confidence, control, commitment, and challenge. And there's two-step factors for each of those. There's actually a valid and reliable psychometric tool that I use in my athletes, business leaders, and people in healthcare. So those four Cs are really the four elements that make up your mental toughness profile.

03:46 “Mental toughness is a combination of playing psychological defense, which is resilience and mental performance with psychological offense. You bring those together, you get a really good championship combination.”

5:36 “The first step of being a better thermostat is the thermometer, which is self-awareness and you also have to be aware of outside of myself, which is my environment and other people and how they affect me. So it's inside out and outside in terms of my ability to be able to read myself. My internal temperature and the temperature outside of myself.”

7:22 “We haven't developed the coping skills over and allowed our kids to then be able to make mistakes and learn and experiment and fail. We protect them. We wanna make things easier for the next generation. And in some ways, we do them a disservice.”

35:28 “And so I went to bed thinking about it. I wake up, I'll get those ideas outta my head to continue moving that forward. And so, like I said, on either the treadmill or something like, Just kind of keep pushing it.”

39:03 *“I try to optimize as many days as possible for that and then not feel guilty if the rest of the day doesn't lead to anything, cuz I know that I can always have that time.”

39*:13 “It gives me a lot of comfort of I know I'm at any 2 hours of work away from elite clarity or moving the needle forward. And if I have that blocked every day, it's like I live much more stress-free because I know I'm gonna be able to tackle those.”

41:16 “Each thing kind of builds on its own, like the brain dump. I wake up, I move, then I sit down on my computer and I don't have to close out a bunch of things. It's like just starting those ideas down.”

Quotable moments:

"Antioxidants... neutralize free radicals and reduce inflammation. Thereby, they protect cells from oxidative stress, and they contribute to overall health. So there are really good compounds inside of coffee."

"This study provides the first extended characterization of the effects of chronic coffee consumption on human brain networks... The results suggest that caffeine consumption may not elevate the risk of experiencing a cardiac arrhythmia in healthy individuals. But it does have a negative impact on sleep."

"Halflife of caffeine and coffee is roughly three to five hours... If you want to consume caffeine, consume it in the morning. Probably shut it off around 12 or one o'clock. If you're a slow metabolizer. If you're a fast metabolizer, you could, you may be able to drink it a little bit later. It's a personal decision."

29:30 “When we start focusing on the title change or the pay raise or the new opportunity and the chance to climb the ladder and less on like this deeply meaningful, like, oh, I'm missing the chance to help people.
