#93 – AMA with Jason Fried: Work-life balance, avoiding burnout, defining success, company culture, and more
“Success is not defined by revenue targets or big numbers. It’s defined by, ‘Do I want to go to work tomorrow and do the same thing I did the day before? Am I enjoying this?

#85 – Iñigo San Millán, Ph.D.: Mitochondria, exercise, and metabolic health
“What I have been seeing for 25 years, working with elite athletes, is that [zone 2] is the exercise intensity where I see the biggest improvement in fat burning and the biggest improvement in lactic clearance capacity.
