    Oct 22 2023

    🤔 Why This Episode Matters 🤔

    Alright, let's get to it. We're here spilling the tea and talking some major shit about NFL teams. Who's lighting up the scoreboard, who's faceplanting, what's turning heads, and what's just straight-up embarrassing? And seriously, Miami Hurricanes, what was that tragic ending against Georgia Tech? Yeah, we're diving deep into that disaster.

    🌱 What You'll Discover 🌱

    🏈 Our no-holds-barred thoughts on the Giants, the Jets, and a bunch of other teams. Trust me, you'll want to hear about those hilarious (and sometimes cringe-worthy) NFL player expressions.
    ⚾ A tribute to the great Tim Wakefield and the magical world of the knuckleball pitch. If you don't know him, you're missing out.
    🥑 The ups, downs, and sideways of my keto journey – and yes, those marathon runs. Who even does that?!
    👖 The (endless) quest for finding clothes that don’t make tall folks look like they're wearing their little sibling's wardrobe. Shoutout to the big and tall brands out there!
    🏋️ A laid-back chat on health, diet, and the overwhelming info buffet out there. Ever felt lost in a sea of health advice? You're not alone.

    📚 Episode Recap 📚

    Buckle up, folks. In this episode of "The Lovable Idiot Podcast," we're keeping it 100. We'll chat about the NFL from the perspective of someone who's been there but doesn't pretend to have all the answers. Giants, Jets, that Miami Hurricanes facepalm moment – it's all in there. We'll also touch on the legacy of Tim Wakefield in the baseball world, share some keto diet adventures, and discuss the all-too-real struggle of dressing tall. So, pour yourself a drink, kick back, and let's get into all the good, the bad, and the hilariously ugly. Cheers!

    Continuing with the broader theme of brain, body, and business and what that all means and entails. This episode we go a little deeper catch up on all things happening brain body and business. A lot of this episode is recapping me eating my own words a lot this year during 2022.

    Catch up after a couple weeks off due to the hurricane that came through Florida last week.
    A continuation of breathing and body optimization and what that means and how sometimes even with the best of intentions we need to remember to prioritize ourselves before we can help others. Basically I recently made a mistake and I said yes when I should've said no even though I know better but it happens to all of us sometimes.

    The TL;DR:

    • Break
    • Hurricane Ian

    Brain

    • Mindset/overtake obstacles
    • Biohacking misinformation
    • Neuroplasticity

    Body

    • Prioritizing health
    • Shit in get shit out
    • Altitude training

    Business

    • Consistency vs Quality
    • The Importance of saying No and my mistake of the week!
    • Social as a solopreneur and mix with being a creator

    Wrap Up/Outro

    • That’s a wrap as we bump against time!


    A few books that I've been reading that might be of interest as well related to breathing and body brain optimization.
