I've also had other amazing biohackers on the show like Luke Storey, Dr. Daniel Kraft, Mark Sisson, Nick Delgado, Dr. Daniel Amenand Michael Morelli. We never really deep dived into QS, Quantified Self. This is where you measure and record everything. Peter Drucker said, “What gets measured gets managed,” and I firmly believe that. I'm a big believer in QS. We're going to go deep into this topic and also talk about learning independently, productivity, ADHD and a bunch of other topics.

Marty Weintraub is commonly known as a successful entrepreneur and speaker. Yet, not everyone understands the magnitude of his experiences of overcoming mental health struggles when he was a child and fighting a battle with cancer later on. Through it all, Marty has sought for the comforts of therapies that inspired him to seek for happiness and rewire his brain to go for joy instead of dealing with pain and suffering. He talks about his journey together with doing some therapy for happiness from writing business plans while getting treatment, undergoing DBT, to correcting myths to align with reality, doing pain exercises, and coming to terms with the present by regarding the past and future as concepts. He shares his experiences and how he comes to terms with pain and suffering by focusing more on happiness and joy.
