Sometimes you hear something and it sticks with you and it changes you. It might be a saying, a movie quote, or your mom might have said it in passing and she doesn't remember - but it fundamentally changed your life. We talk about discipline in dancing to the difference between a professional and an amateur. We pull from great minds like Sonny Webster, Julie Andrews, Liam Niessen, and Batman. Ready to get inspired? Ready to have a roast beef sandwich? Either way, we this episode is for you.

We fail. We've failed a lot. Not everything is perfect on our fitness journey. This episode we talk about when we've given up, when we had it wrong, when we were just plain bad at things. From diet to training to wrestling to figure skating to flexibility to high cholesterol... We still have some work to do.

Sleep is literally the most important thing you can do to affect every aspect of your existence, and you can drastically improve your life (for free) by improving to how you sleep. Jeff Kahn is CEO and co-founder of Rise Science, the only app that delivers the real-world benefits of better sleep and daily energy. We talk about why sleep cycles like REM don't matter. DON'T matter. We talk about the real world job performance of NFL teams (look up Monday night football stats), why sleep debt and circadian rhythm are actually the key factors, rest & recovery, the history or sleep science, and why it's more important than diet, exercise, meditation, or anything else you can think of. Good Night!
