#95 – Luke Bennett, M.D.: The emotional, cognitive, and physical demands that make Formula 1 a unique and special sport
“It’s probably equivalent to doing a pretty intense CrossFit circuit for two hours with a maximum of five or 10-second breaks around it, while someone else is doing CrossFit trying to push you out of the way off your equipment, and someone’s in your ear asking you to solve math equations, and there’s 300 million people watching.” — Luke Bennett
#94 – Mark Hyman, M.D.: The impact of the food system on our health and the environment

#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? Do I like the people I’m working with? Am I challenging myself intellectually and creatively?” Those are the things that matter.’” — Jason Fried
#92 – AMA #12: Strategies for longevity (which don’t require a doctor)

#90 – Ryan Holiday: Stillness, stoicism, and suffering less
“My goal in my life is to be great at what I do. . . but to have some semblance of a normal life, to not be so lopsided, to not be miserable, to actually like what I’m doing.” — Ryan Holiday
#89 – AMA #11: All things fasting
“Truthfully, in humans, we don’t necessarily know exactly what the dose curve looks like for duration of fasting to physiologic output of desired consequence.” —Peter Attia

“Fructose turns out to be used by animals as a mechanism to store fat.” — Rick Johnson
