But, I also wanted to start the conversation because I felt no one was really saying the kinds of things that I was saying.” (08:15)“I think that the major driver of aging, put simply, is a loss of information.” (10:19)“I think it’s worth clarifying that the sirtuins are protectors of our bodies, but they can also cause aging by being distracted too much.” (25:11)“It’s all about being uncomfortable. Our bodies would much rather sit in a chair and eat popcorn. There’s a whole industry based on that.” (26:19)“I like to joke that scientists like to fight because the stakes are so low.” (42:41)“We can predict, very accurately, how old someone is biologically. And that’s not so much related to birthday candles. It’s more about how you’ve lived your life. Twenty percent of your age will be genetic and eighty percent will be how you’ve lived.” (46:59)“What I don’t know is how to bring people back from the dead, but I think we’re getting close to being able to keep people alive in a healthy way for much longer.” (57:31)LINKS MENTIONEDBetter!

Every team at twenty is a way better team at forty.” (19:06) “I play a sport that, if you ask any GM, any coach, any player for that matter, what percentage of the game is mental, you’re not gonna get a percentage lower than eighty.” (23:57) “I think athletics puts you uniquely in touch with that because you know you can go sprint and run as fast as you can or jump as high as you want.

It’s you getting intentional about what you want your life to look like.” (23:52)  “Stress is not what’s happening to you. Stress is your reaction to what’s happening to you.” (26:56)  “While it is possible to change your state of consciousness, it is not possible to give your mind a command to shut up.” (43:01)  “It’s better to cry this stuff out into your tissues than it is to have the stress stored in your tissues.” (55:17)  LINKS MENTIONEDBetter!

This episode has Chapter Marks embedded for apps that support them (Apple Podcasts, OverCast, Pocket Casts, etc.)TWEETABLE QUOTES“Mindset is really about attitude. It’s about philosophy.” (11:44)“People who really pursue the process [of success], they are undefeatable.” (31:41)“The great thing about rage and anger is they are phenomenal focusers of energy.” (33:49)“What matters to me is movement. Movement matters because movement creates momentum. Momentum creates confidence. And confidence creates certainty.” (36:08)“The alter ego is simply a mental tool that we’ve got that allows us to disassociate ourselves from our own story and start to play through the idea of someone and something else that we admire.” (41:44)“What makes us unique – human beings – is our creative imagination, our ability to create new stories about what we’re capable of. We can shift and we can change in an instant.” (52:23)“I’ve had people who have picked an alter ego because it sounded like a nice idea, but they didn’t actually connect with that person. There wasn’t like an emotional tug and I need that emotional tug when I’m working with someone.” (1:02:21)LINKS MENTIONEDBetter!

Declare it. Yeah, be the outsider if that’s what you are.” (08:58)“The energy of anger is fire. Too much of that will burn out your system. It will burn your relationships, but just enough – for the right reason, in the right direction – looks like justice. It looks like policy change. It looks like clear decision making.” (17:53)“And forgiveness, my experience of the feeling is it’s a profound relief. It’s a homecoming.” (24:16)“My definition of leadership is the courage to hold the vision up and invite people to that vision. And, that courage comes from introspection and being able to be still and stillness takes courage.” (36:55)“If you don’t want to live a life of service, if you don’t think there’s some higher order to this, I might not have that much to offer you. I’m not interested in convincing you of anything. I’m really actually interested in teaching teachers and singing to and with the choir.” (40:45)“I want you to be joyful. I want you to be whole. And, I think the result of love is joy.” (42:26)“I think most of us just need to be witnessed.” (1:08:19)LINKS MENTIONEDBetter!

The unreasonable one persists in adapting the world to himself.

They’re very open about their feelings. They’re not yet jaded and critical like we can be.” (11:03)“I think keep it to day-to-day expectations and the rest will kind of take care of itself. If they’re [your children] meant to be a scientist, they’re going to be a scientist. If they’re meant to be an artist, they’re going to be an artist. Don’t dictate their future.” (15:52)“Success has become the goal of childhood. Not play, not exploration, not nothingness, not boredom, not creativity, but success.” (19:58)“Our children are not here to live our lives. And they’re not here to fulfill our destinies.

You have to go inward in order to make this thing call parenting work.” (34:59)“Love is the most active thing you can feel.

It’s really love for the other person’s essence no matter how they make you feel.” (37:06)“That’s the beautiful part of life. If life was all happy, there would be no nuance, there would be no adventure, there would be no complexity, and there would be no growth.” (43:27)“Meditation has been the single most profound tool in my life, so much so that I am more connected inward than outward.” (51:57)“We can’t be everything to all people and all things and all images of ourselves as women.” (54:44)“Mothering just takes the life out of us, doesn’t it? And I think that we are ashamed to talk about just how draining it is because we have this mantle of perfection over our heads.” (55:31)LINKS MENTIONEDBetter!
