Perfectly Mentored with Jason Portnoy EP61: Dave Asprey: Hacking Brain and Body
It's not uncommon for hard-working entrepreneurs to imagine that they can live on success alone - but those who try quickly find that they're only undermining their own potential. Buying into the "grind" mentality is not only ineffective, it's dangerous, and paying attention to your health now leads to pig payoffs later.
Dave Asprey, the "Father of Biohacking", is the creator of the Bulletproof Diet and innovator of Bulletproof Coffee, Collagen Protein supplements and many more advances in commercial wellness products. Over the last two decades, Dave has worked to uncover the latest, most innovative methods, techniques and products for enhancing mental and physical performance, pushing the bounds of human possibility in the name of science and evolution. Through the Bulletproof Diet, Dave has maintained a 100-pound weight loss, improved his sleep, and upgraded his brain, ultimately transforming himself into a better entrepreneur, a better husband, and a better father. In addition to hosting Bulletproof Radio, a Webby Award-winning podcast, Dave is currently serving as the founder, CEO or Chairman of six health, wellness and biohacking companies.
On this episode of the Perfectly Mentored podcast, Dave and Jason dive into what it means to contribute something worthwhile as an entrepreneur, viewing your health, mindset and mental wellbeing as an investment, pushing past fear to unlock your capabilities, and strategies for staying healthy in the midst of COVID-19. Join the conversation to finally push past that thing that's holding you back.
