Episode notes

Older adults have much more shrunken, challenge skills, sweet spot. It's because of something known as allostatic load or allostatic overload. The most important thing has to be dropping and to flow along the way. Flow amplifier expertise and wisdom over time that gets built up by using the challenge are neuroprotective against cognitive decline.

If you're interested in human performance and personal growth, I highly recommend checking out this episode with Steven Kotler.

He has been studying human performance for over 30 years and has taught hundreds of thousands of people how to achieve peak performance evolved around Steven's latest book, Gnar Country, which addresses how to stay "rad" as you grow older. As someone who's pushing 50, I found Steven's insights on aging and how to maintain a sense of vitality fascinating, and I'm sure many listeners will find them useful as well.

Steven shares his own experiences and struggles as we dive into Gnar Country, which is filled with valuable insights and practical advice for anyone looking to maintain their edge as they grow older. This conversation was a great reminder that it's never too late to pursue your passions and stay "rad" as you age. I hope you find it as engaging and thought-provoking as I did.
