“Compound interest is the eighth wonder of the world” - Albert Einstein.

Compounding is magical. When something we do becomes a habit, its benefits accrue over time. In this episode, Deepak aka Chuck looks at the basics of a habit, what it means, and a few examples from other aspects of life. Later this week, we’ll look at other aspects of habits as well.

Bonus: How much of what we do on a daily basis is a habit? The answer might surprise you!

Sleep and recovery are often under-looked parts of a fitness journey. While, in fact, they can enhance workouts and life in general. To discuss this, Deepak speaks to two people in this special interview.

Firstly, Dr. Satish Ramaiah, the Chief of Mind Care Department and Consultant Neuropsychiatrist and Sleep Disorder specialist at People Tree Hospitals, in Bangalore.

Our second guest is someone that anyone who uses cultfit will instantly recognize. Rahul Huidrom is a Strength Master Trainer at cultfit and he’s got several programs on the app. 

We speak about sleep, recovery, their impact on physical health, the importance of mental health, and much, much more. Our conversation mostly centers around the importance of a good night’s sleep!
