In today's #breather episode, I share key points from a brilliant article by Michael Simmons about compound time.
-
He implores you to think outside the box and look at somewhat contradictory things that super successful people like Oprah and Warren Buffett does that seem counterintuitive to success. Simmons proposes that this “counterintuitive” behavior, like slowing down, working less, taking some chill time, working on prioritizing and to-do lists is actually extremely beneficial and maybe even the key to their #success.
-
We live in a frantic world where most people are hyper-focused on work, work, work. But these “top performers” that Simmons refers to are deliberate in how they spend their time and where they put their focus. A lot of that focus is on compound time: the things that create the most long-term value.
-
Follow their example and invest just one hour out of your day on compound time: read a book📙, take a walk🚶‍♂️, sink down into a nap😴, call a friend and have a fun and interesting conversation📞...just do something! And don’t even dare to think you’re wasting your time, because that couldn’t be further from the truth! Stepping away from the things that #stress you out is a great way you can invest in your future, and it also happens to be how some of the world’s greatest thinkers and leaders spend their time, so try it out - there’s clearly something to it!

I just read a great article on Medium.com, “Why ‘eat less, move more’ doesn’t work for weight loss” that perfectly encapsulates why that short-term fix is basically useless and a total waste of your time if you’re trying to lose weight. 👀
-
Not only is it a waste of time, but it will also push you backward in your body composition goals, as studies show that #dieting is associated with long-term #weightloss. There’s even a name for it: fat overshooting! This is a common phenomenon we’ve all seen happen to friends, family, even ourselves: you lose some weight, only to gain it back, and then some!😫So what do you do? 3 simple steps: 1. Cut out unnecessary #carbs 2. Eat more #fat so you burn fat 3. Eat #protein to stay satiated longer. Quoting from the article: “When you reduce your fat and calorie intake, you engage in a battle with your body, one that you cannot win. So don’t engage in this futile battle. Work with your body — it was never the enemy.”

Behold a view from the popular Bump and Grind hiking trail in Palm Desert. You’re looking down at Porcupine Creek Golf Course and estate owned by tech billionaire Larry Ellison. It’s one of the most spectacular golf courses I have ever seen, incredibly lush and perfectly manicured. What’s interesting is that apparently no one is allowed to play there! I look closely and noticed no pins on the greens, no players, just a ton of lawnmowers at work. You can’t even see it from ground since the entire complex is private. Golf Digest ranks this course as the 14th best in California, and it’s almost always empty. I learn that Obama played there a couple times while President... Ellison grabbed this golf course with massive estate and numerous casitas for just $43 million. With Ellison’s net worth reported $68.7 billion, this is like a healthy financial individual, with for example $500,000 net worth, buying an asset for $305! There are widely disparate views about the economic and social consequences of income and wealth inequality in modern times based on one’s political bent.
Acknowledge that Ellison and other kingpins have played by the rules, paid their taxes and now have their billions to play with.
What’s disturbing and unsettling to me is seeing this course going unused. I assume the greenskeeping crew is getting well compensated, but might their pride be impacted knowing no one was enjoying their labors?
In other news, it was heartwarming to see the Bump and Grind trail extremely well trafficked by enthusiasts of all ages and fitness levels. In the old days when I started triathlon training, we would rarely see anyone else out there, even on the major fireroads and trails in metropolitan Los Angeles. Today, everywhere I go, more people are enjoying nature recreation that’s for sure.
As you will hear me discuss repeatedly on the #GetOverYourselfpodcast, we need connection with nature more than ever because we are getting bombarded, overwhelmed and overstressed by hyperconnectivity, tech addiction, distractability, and the destructive forces of consumerism. Go take a hike outside today and enjoy the view!

I travel to the beautiful University of Washington campus to speak with recently anointed professor Tommy Wood (@drtommywood).
-
This interview was an urgent priority because Tommy is one of the most sensible and reasonable health experts, and things have been getting confusing recently on many #diet and #healthoptimization topics.
-
We cover some big-picture topics including how to reconcile the wonderful benefits of #fasting
and caloric efficiency versus the benefits of good #nutrition and adequate fuel for peak performance and #recovery, as well as touch base on the hot topic of the #carnivore diet🥩.
-
Few people are able to meld truth and humor (along with a very strong BS meter!) with scientific evidence and research the way Tommy can, so enjoy listening to this extremely informative and fun episode with a true leader in the #AncestralHealth movement - you will not forget any of the truth bombs Tommy drops anytime soon!💯

Check out this article (linked in bio) from the Harvard Business Review “3 Reasons It’s So Hard to ‘Follow Your Passion.’”
-
It’s all about #purpose, not #passion. Why? Because purpose gives you grit, and that’s what helps you get ahead. Focus on what you care about doing, not what kind of work you find fun to do. Research shows that #happiness is not a good career guide, and that in order to find true satisfaction through your work, you must align the work you do with your values, the things you care most deeply about...so what do you care about doing?
-
Is your work more aligned with your purpose than your passion, or the other way around?🤔It’s a slight difference, but to quote from the article: “The reality is that passion wanes over time, so if you just focus on following happiness, you might not stick with an endeavor like you would if you focused on how it helps you achieve what you care most about. When you’re pursuing your passion, it’s important to bear in mind that resilience is key, because the pursuit of passion is an ongoing — and challenging — process.”

Check out the article, and comment below, let me know your thoughts on purpose vs passion!

In this breather show, I walk you through the many scientifically validated benefits of #sauna use, as well as the big-picture benefits of achieving 🔥warmth🔥any time you want, and experiencing an incredible general relaxation
effect and social bonding experience.
-
I describe my personal regimen where I want to get the most bang for my buck as fast as possible. So I crank up the heat in my unit from Almost Heaven Saunas (@ahsaunas) through a double cycle and get it up to 210F!
-
By comparison, most health clubs and spas have saunas running at 175F, not wishing to overstress a random user. As soon as I enter that crazy hot barrel, I immediately commence 40 pushups followed by 40 deep squats. This will prompt profuse sweating only a few minutes after I enter, and then I relax on the bench and enter an incredibly relaxed, trance-like state. I’ll get out after I’ve been sweating profusely for a good 10-15 minutes. This is a sign that the esteemed Heat Shock Proteins have been released to work their magic on my brain,cardiovascular
system, and muscular system.

#health benefits of sauna use!
