They discuss the rebranding of Dave's podcast from Bulletproof Radio to "The Human Upgrade" due to the company's decision. Dave shares the background of his blog and his focus on DaveAsprey.com and "The Human Upgrade" podcast.

The conversation shifts to the concept of the "meat operating system" and Dave's new book, "Smarter Not Harder." Dave reflects on his experience running Upgrade Labs and the five main aspects people seek in health: resistance to stress, cognitive function, energy, strength, and cardiovascular fitness. He emphasizes the need to understand the meat operating system and its influence on decision-making.

Dave explains that the meat operating system regulates essential functions and desires, which can be manipulated by marketing and behaviors.

Kristin Keen has spent her career creating opportunities through business for women caught in human trafficking to have access to a new life. While living in Kolkata, India, Keen witnessed the life-stealing effects of human trafficking on a daily basis. In 2005, she helped co-found Sari Bari, a thriving business that now employs more than 120 Kolkota residents who create handmade blankets and other products from traditional fabrics. Upon her return to Jacksonville, Keen felt called to fight human trafficking on a local level.

Since its inception in 2012, Rethreaded has employed more than 35 women and provided more than 55,000 hours of work for survivors of human trafficking in Jacksonville. In 2015, Keen was honored as a "40 Under 40" award winner by the Jacksonville Business Journal and was chosen as one of Girls Inc.'s "Women of Vision."
