The SuperHuman Academy Podcast

This week, we host John Lee Dumas of EntrepreneurOnFire, and learn how he has become financially superhuman, and inspired tens of thousands of people to do the same thing. We explore the topics of entrepreneurship, personal branding, and lifestyle design.

This week's guest is Mr. Ari Meisel - productivity guru, health nut, and all-around superhuman. It's an amazing episode! we cover everything from how he manages to work only 2 days a week, to what supplements he is using, how everyday people like you and I can outsource aspects of our lives to get better results and have less stress. You’ll even hear about what productivity tools both Ari and I most recommend. I know you're going to love it.

In this episode, we get a chance to learn the ins and outs of intermittent fasting, and figure out why you should care. We talk supplements and the problems with the supplement industry. You even get some homework assignments and things to try out during this week! 

In this episode, we get an in-depth look into the heart and mind of someone with a seemingly endless supply of tenacity, willpower, inspiration, and joy. My guests story is really the story of turning unimaginably dark times into silver-lined clouds, coming back time and time again from impossibly circumstances to make the best of it and achieve tremendous happiness and success. I feel truly fortunate that he opened up and didn’t hold anything back from us, sharing now only the darkest of the dark, but also his own strategies for overcoming them. I, for one, am going to be reading his most recent book very soon.

The podcast features Harry Lorayne, the world's foremost expert on memory and memory training. He shares inspiring stories of overcoming adversity, including physical abuse and dyslexia. Topics discussed include the impact of memory training on people's lives, techniques for memorizing technical information, the use of memory palaces, the diminishing presence of handwriting in schools, and the transformative power of learning magic tricks.

My guest this week is the well-known blogger behind “A Year of Productivity,” where he blogged daily about his one year experiment to find, study, and apply all the productivity tips and tricks he could get his hands on. After the year was up, his blog had attracted such a following, he continued with this passion project, turning it into A Life of Productivity, and becoming a renowned expert on all things productivity. This episode is a bit different in nature and tone than other ones, as you’ve probably already picked up - and I think it’s improvement! There’s plenty of humor - some of it crude - and lots of entertaining discussion. With that said, we also uncover what I think are some of the most important habits, behaviors, and practices that lend themselves to leading a happier, more joyous, and more productive life. I’m not going to spoil the fun… just turn up the volume and enjoy some wisdom from the delightful Mr. Chris Bailey.

Our guest today is Ben Greenfield, the New York Times Bestselling Author of “Beyond Training: Mastering Endurance, Health, and Life,” as well as about 30 other books on how to feel and become SuperHuman. He’s been nominated as one of the top personal trainers in America, and has been voted among the top 100 most influential individuals in health and fitness for the last 2 years. We talk about the ideal mix of exercise and movement for a healthy life, determining the right diet for you, supplementation, and just generally how to look, feel, and perform your best. It’s a quick interview, and packed with knowledge. Just one caveat / apology, the interview does have a very abrupt ending, as my guest and I were disconnected towards the end and ran out of time while trying to reconnect. We’ve edited it the best we can, but please forgive the less-than-polished ending.

This episode is a big one, guys. Not only is it with one of our most accomplished guests thus far - it’s also jam-packed with a ton of huge take-homes. For example… what are the secrets to being happier? What are the different types of motivation styles people fall into, and how do those affect how they can add or break habits? What are the daily rituals and mindset shifts that most impact your life positively? We cover all this, and so much more.

Former Navy SEAL and fitness expert Dr. Kirk Parsley discusses optimizing sleep, heart rate variability, and supplementation. Topics include the autonomic nervous system, HRV training for performance and cognitive function, improving sleep quality through meditation, and entrepreneurial intervention.

You have a lot to look forward to in this episode. My guest Rory Vaden and his team have spent thousands upon thousands of hours developing theories, and frameworks, and methodologies, and he generously shares so many of them with us in such a short time. The episode is absolutely jam-packed: it’s very theory-heavy and offers a lot of very new, unique, and impactful ideas that I certainly had never considered. Quite frankly, you should probably listen to it with a notepad handy, because I’m quite confident you’re going to take away a ton of applicable knowledge to use in your day to day lives.
