Episode notes

I believe that self optimization is a lifelong journey towards progression, not a journey towards perfection. This isn't about how do I reach a level of perfection. It's about the constant pursuit of progression. Working with me requires hard work and it requires intention and it requires focus. So that's always how I like to frame it is that it's not about perfection. The doing versus being kind of challenge. What led you to realize that that is the challenge that you needed to face and how you're able to help people today?

In this episode, I had the pleasure of chatting with Zack Arnold, an award-winning editor, director, and founder of Optimize Yourself. He's also a father of two and a two-time American Ninja Warrior, which is pretty cool if you ask me. We had a productive conversation about how to pursue fulfilling careers without sacrificing our health, relationships, or sanity. Zack's work has been featured in various publications, and he's known for his expertise in productivity and entrepreneurship.

One thing that stood out to me was how Zack optimized his podcast process, which he shared with us. He also talked about how he's learned to prioritize his health and relationships while pursuing his career goals.

Overall, it was a fantastic conversation, and I highly recommend giving it a listen. If you're new to the podcast, this is a great episode to start with. I feel like I found a kindred spirit in Zack, and I hope you will too.
