Episode notes
Early Career Help
- Layne Norton helped Eric Helms with his peak week protocol early in Helms's bodybuilding career.
- This seemingly small act had a significant impact on Helms's career trajectory.
Information Overload
- Access to good information is no longer the primary challenge in fitness and nutrition.
- The real challenge lies in helping people filter the overwhelming influx of information, both good and bad.
Identifying Experts
- To identify real experts, focus on how they communicate rather than solely on credentials.
- True experts rarely speak in absolutes and often respond to questions with more questions to understand context.
