Dune, written by Frank Herbert, is set in a feudal interstellar society where noble houses control planetary fiefs. The story follows Paul Atreides, whose family is tasked with ruling the inhospitable desert planet Arrakis, the sole source of melange, a substance crucial for extending life and enhancing mental abilities. The novel delves into the intricate politics, religion, ecology, and technology of this futuristic world, as various factions vie for control of Arrakis and its valuable spice. Paul, with his unique abilities and training by the Bene Gesserit, becomes a key figure in this struggle and eventually assumes the role of a messianic leader among the native Fremen people[2][5][4].

The Starretts kicked off The Ready State Podcast back in January 2018, and today we’re celebrating a milestone: Episode 150! With a brief pandemic hiatus in between, we’re marking this special episode with a look back at some incredible conversations and powerful insights that have shaped our journey. Over the years, we’ve had the honor of hosting thought leaders like Dr. Andrew Huberman on brain science, Laird Hamilton on performance and recovery, and Dr. Mary Claire Haver on demystifying menopause and women's health advocacy, among so many other inspiring figures. From groundbreaking topics in fitness and health to deep dives into resilience, mental strength, and sustainable wellness, this podcast has been a space for exploring human potential in every dimension. While we think of it as our “little podcast with a lowercase 'p',” we’re blown away to be in the top 1% of all podcasts based on downloads, and we’re endlessly grateful to our listeners and guests. Thank you for being part of the journey—whether you’re a longtime listener or joining us for the first time, we’re thrilled to bring you episode 150. Let’s keep learning, growing, and getting better, together!
