The B.rad Podcast

What an amazing journey Eric has been on, tackling incredible challenges with minimal preparation or specific skill sets, but armed with an incredible mindset of positivity and resilience. Let’s go backstage into the world of the legendary Navy SEAL BUDS training program that has the huge dropout rate and the unimaginable “Hell Week” designed to break even the strongest of physical specimens. Eric is an understated guy and makes things sound like no big deal. He describes how he “burned the boat” when he landed in Coronado, CA for BUDS training - he was certain he was going to finish no matter what. Eric went on to a long and storied 12-year career with the SEALS, featuring climbing the highest peak in North and South America with no mountaineering background, climbing El Capitan with just a few days of climbing experience, and jumping out of the airplane on the third flight he ever took in his life! Listen as Eric describes how the Navy has invested millions of dollars in discovering the “winning formula” for a candidate to succeed at the highest and most demanding level of service, but has come up empty to date. I think we can discern the secret from how Eric concludes certain comments in the interview. He offers a low-key, matter-of-fact attitude that certain tasks and goals will be achieved no matter what if you believe it to be so. While on active duty, Eric served at various SEAL Teams. He deployed numerous times to hot spots around the world, in support of the Global War on Terror. He received various medals and commendations in the process. As a SEAL, Eric was trained in the use of various firearms, demolition, explosives, radio and computer communications, combat diving, parachute operations, combat casualty care (first aid), survival in various environments, climbing, hand-to-hand combat and tactical driving. He was also a sniper. While on active duty, Eric also climbed El Capitan, in Yosemite National Park, CA. 2007 Honnold there. He also completed 2 of the 7 summits, Denali and Aconcagua both without the use of supplemental oxygen. Wow! He also co-founded a number of different businesses, most notably the BluCore Shooting Center, an indoor shooting range, gun store and firearms training facility. He is currently the CEO of StrongFirst – a premium strength and fitness education company with a global presence of more than 2,000 instructors. He is also currently involved with a program called Heart Led Leadership, which offers a yearlong intensive behavioral change program for senior leaders.Combining the skills acquired from nearly 12 years of active duty as a Navy SEAL, an entrepreneur and CEO, and a passion for heart led leadership, Eric truly has learned how to manage fear, while delivering consistent excellence. He will have you on the edge of your seat as he shares real-life stories of overcoming impossible odds and team success, and his spellbinding style will keep you engaged as he ties his experiences as a SEAL to experiences in the business world. The Q&A session is also always a highlight.

(Breather) Enjoy some really thoughtful questions from listeners on an incredible variety of topics relating to healthy eating, exercise, and lifestyle. In this breather show, you’ll hear a little bit of my amateur attempt at an Irish accent (by request!) before I dive into some great questions from listeners. I touch on the importance of being strategic when it comes to whom you try to help/convince with lifestyle changes (wait till they are “ready to receive,” says Mia Moore) and the benefits of being reasonable, open-minded, and avoiding the all too common polarization that’s so common today in so many areas of society, including health advice. I also offer a sneak preview of my new triathlon training book called How To Improve Your *Triathlon Time: A Healthy, Balanced Approach to an Obsessive Sport, and share my thoughts on the best ways to experiment with strict carnivore if you are already a high calorie burning endurance athlete. I also talk about the powerful effects of nose breathing and why you should be doing it throughout the day, as well as the importance of taking some deep, diaphragmatic breaths to engage your lower abdomen.That’s all for today, and thanks to everyone who sent in questions! If you’d like to submit a question to be answered in an upcoming show, shoot me an email!TIMESTAMPS:Breath through your nose. [01:29]Maciej says keto lifestyle is not for everyone. We often perceive ourselves to be more open-minded than we really are. [04:08]Mick from Ireland asks about adding pigs’ ears when making bone broth at home. A true bone broth will be gelatinous when refrigerated. [06:36]John Bennett describes the progress is 15-year-old son has made since he, as a weight lifter, has changed his diet and training regimen. [11:22]A note from Patrick Hall mentions Brad’s old book about improving triathlon. Brad is republishing it and it will be on Amazon soon. “How to Improve Your Triathlon Time” [13:46]Dennis in Seattle asks: Do you have a rough template for the season after the two-month aerobic base building period? Make sure you’re ready and start slowly. [14:36]When you decide to go into an extreme restrictive diet like the carnivore diet, you could have a bit of a problem if you are a typical endurance athlete in training. [16:47]Steven Raider is questioning the idea that if you go carnivore it means fruits and vegetables are bad. [21:21]If you are going to try a carnivore diet, be sure to eat the most nutritious and best products. [28:19]All the antioxidant benefits we hear about in the superfoods can be surpassed by fasting.

Enjoy this interesting interview from popular health coach and Instagram sensation, the Freckled Foodie, aka Cameron Rogers!After working on Wall Street in Sales & Trading for 5 years, Cameron had a life-altering moment, and decided it was time to wave goodbye to the corporate world and pursue the Freckled Foodie full-time. Since then, she’s grown her community, worked with notable companies on creating content, helped dozens of individuals achieve a more healthy and balanced lifestyle through her health coaching practice, and developed her personality as a podcast host on Freckled Foodie & Friends. By doing all of this, she was fortunate enough to be named one of the five entrepreneurs changing New York’s wellness scene by Forbes.In this show, Cameron goes beyond the success story of quitting Wall Street for a career in health to talk about her longtime struggle with anxiety and the coping strategies she has used successfully, and recommends to her clients. A great sound bite is that we must accept anxiety as inevitable, but figure out a way to make anxiety spur action and accomplishment. Cameron also relates an evolved approach to dietary transformation, where she encourages her clients to stay away from the stress of orthorexia by allowing occasional or regular sensible indulgences. Enjoy this interesting and wide-ranging show with Cameron and check out her podcast here!TIMESTAMPS:Cameron Rogers is not only describing her life transition of moving into the world after college, she talks about her dietary strategy that she uses in her coaching others. [01:22]The more Cameron got into cooking, the more she became focused on how her body was impacted by what she ate and drank. [04:32]When seeing a physician about her severe abdominal issues, she learned she had mercury poisoning as a result of some dental work! [06:14]Focusing too much on the food journey led her to realizing her lifelong anxiety struggle was attached to eating. [09:37]How does one manage anxiety? Alcohol is not the solution. [16:50]What recommendations does she give to her clients? She deals with each individually. Once you restrict something, you usually crave it more. [20:08]When she’s working with clients, looking at diet is important, but talking about how one feels when eating, while eating, and after eating are important. Are you actually paying attention to the food you eat? [24:09]Her approach is a bit different from traditional therapy. Cameron calls herself an accountability coach. [26:24]Cameron tells of her journey from her job, to Instagram, to her business model. [31:47]How does she help someone who struggles with the assignments they are given?

(Breather) This is a great show to share with a friend or loved one to get going on a healthier path without getting too deep into the weeds on the various health topics that are covered in detail in many other episodes. You learn the most important immediate changes you can make to increase energy, improve fat burning, and minimize disease risk factors and why they are so important. In this show I give you some basic assignments in four different areas--here is a sneak preview of everything covered on the show: Diet: Ditch the “Big Three” as your #1 health and disease prevention objective: Refined sugars, grains, and industrial seed oils. Establish a zero-tolerance policy with extreme devotion for at least 21 days to give your body a chance to escape carb dependency and get good at burning stored body fat. Exercise/Movement: Increase all forms of general everyday movement (walking, Morning Movement Routine, yoga/pilates/tai chi, foam rolling, movement breaks from work desk); conduct formal cardiovascular workouts at MAF heart rate or below; perform regular brief, intense strength training sessions with the body under resistance load (body weight, free weights, cords/straps); perform occasional all-out sprints--short duration, long recovery interval, consistent high quality.Sleep/Recovery: Minimize artificial light and digital stimulation after dark, power down from technology with extreme discipline, schedule in solo, reflective timeStress Management: Discover stress-reducing behaviors/activities and prioritize them in daily life: Breathing/meditation, temperature therapy, gratitude practice, cultivating positive attitude/mindset. Enjoy this focused message and perhaps listen to the show every few months to keep focused and motivated to cover the basics of healthy living every day!TIMESTAMPS:Let's start simple with eliminating the toxic modern foods that are directly resulting in excess body fat and accelerated disease risk factors. [01:17]Within the list of meat, fish, fowl, eggs, vegetables, fruits, nuts, and seeds, you have a variety of choices to select from for the healthiest of meals. [03:09]Refined industrial seed oils confuse your body. [05:20]A 21-day commitment to eating only a nutrient-dense diet will teach your body not to depend on the carbs. Reach for a nutritious snack, rather than sugary snacks. [06:05]Move more in everyday life.  A heart rate of 180 beats per minute minus your age should be your goal when exercising. [08:38]We also have an obligation to put ourselves under the resistance load and perform brief explosive movements in order to maintain muscle mass. [13:17]Sprinting is one of the best efforts to enhance your fitness. [15:11]Sleep, rest, and rejuvenation are so important in today’s digital world. [18:47]When you awaken at or near sunrise, make a point to expose your eyeballs to direct sunlight. [24:27]Stress management is something we all have to figure out. Take six deep breaths.

William Shewfelt returns to the show for a historic fourth time to discuss the hot topic of losing excess body fat quickly and efficiently. William has locked into a highly effective strategy that is working for his clients at 21daycarnivoreshred.com. It revolves around prioritizing protein intake (since of course that is the body’s most critical dietary objective) by consuming foods that have a favorable protein-to-energy ratio. Protein also happens to be highly satiating, so you are enjoying delicious meals without deprivation and suffering from calorie restriction diets. Protein also has a high thermic effect, meaning if a significant portion of the protein calories you consume (some studies say up to 20%) are allocated toward metabolizing the protein. As Mark Sisson says often, there is a legitimate argument that you don’t even need to count protein calories, because they are used for building block purposes instead of calorie energy. William is a high energy guy who follows his passions at all times. As you learned from his first Get Over Yourself podcast show, he has an extremely disciplined, methodical, and quantified approach to pursuing goals that he has applied in numerous disparate areas, from writing, online coaching, acting and also his latest passion of music. Listen to his Disfruta single on YouTube! You will love his enthusiasm and youthful energy. Who knows, maybe the protein-to-energy ratio concept will give you the breakthrough you are looking for in fat loss! Read more in his book with Dr. Ted Naiman called The P/E Diet.TIMESTAMPS:How do you drop excess body fat once and for all? [01:44]Catching up with Shewfelt leaves you breathless with diet, coaching, acting, singing, writing. [05:59]The carnivore focus of Will’s diet includes two steaks and 6 eggs yolks in a shake daily. [08:34]What is the protein to energy ratio? [09:26]        Protein is a building block, not a calorie burning energy.  Focus on your protein requirement. [14:55]It is a huge task to sift through all the diet information to which we are exposed. [23:17]Protein is number one, exercise is number two. Fasting and an 8-hour sleep are there on the list. [24:34]When your mindset has been firmly implanted with the colorful vegetables on your plate, it is hard to absorb the carnivore diet information. [25:33]How is Shewfelt dealing with helping people lose excess body fat as a group? [30:59]It is common when one achieves a goal to celebrate the success, and then fall back.  How can we deal with that? [34:57]What is the role of carbohydrates in a healthy athletic person’s diet? [37:23]        No one diet is appropriate for everyone. [43:45]When you are able to develop your inner intuition, you are able to prevent yourself from doing too much. [45:34]Reggaeton, is a Latin genre of music that William is into. The same mentality that you use in training, you use in everything else you try. [47:12]How does one turn potential into viable economic opportunity? [53:15]Will describes how he manages to have so many different directions in his life and stay healthy.

This episode is full of life-changing insights from an assortment of experts on the subject of health optimization and biohacking. Sure, we all already know about the importance of building healthy habits, but taking it a step further and learning why your brain prefers to engage in the familiar will leave you more motivated to actually make those necessary changes that optimize your health. And this goes beyond the physical — mental health obviously stills falls under the umbrella of health optimization, and this show will prompt you to ask yourself many thought-provoking questions, like: can I make it through one day with no whining, no complaining, and no excuses? Some other key points covered during this episode:The importance of service. Tom Bilyeu of the popular Impact Theory YouTube channel says: “Work your ass off at something you care very deeply about to get very good, so you can serve not only yourself, but others.”Because the brain tends toward down wiring to save energy, try to be intentional about creating new habits. One of the best things you can do for yourself is create a morning routine you can stick to, as it sets you up to be a more disciplined person throughout the day. Otherwise, you’ll find yourself slipping into old habits.Do your best to protect yourself against EMF exposure. “We don’t know certain effects on humans, but we do know that rates of autism have risen from 1 in 1,000 to 1 in 68 in a very short time, a few generations,” Tommy Wood comments, and chances of developing Alzheimer’s, Dementia, and other cognitive decline conditions are now 1 in 2. Experts believe this is strongly correlated with environmental pollution, particularly EMF, as well as dietary choices (forget about Type 2 Diabetes, watch out for Type 3!). Fast on days you fly. When you’re in a plane, you’re exposed to a lot of EMF. But when you are in a fasted state, your internal antioxidant production is boosted. Also, if you fast and wait to eat until after you’ve arrived at your destination, this will greatly help your body adapt more quickly to the time difference.Protect your personal reputation.Value your time more than your own possessions. Be early. Pete Caroll points out that there is a difference between being early and being on time: Being early demonstrates not just a high regard for yourself, but also for others, while showing that you have discipline and focus. Thanks for listening!TIMESTAMPS:Work your ass off at something you really care about. [01:39]When you build good habits, you free up more energy to work on peak performance. [02:51]Building good habits at bedtime is very important. The same routine helps get optimal sleep. [07:14]Take five deep breaths before responding to a stimulus. [08:06]From 12 to 3:00 AM are the critical hours where the remnants of mammalian hibernation lie for our species. [09:07]Electromagnetic Field exposure and poor diet are of real concern. The brain cells are most sensitive to dysfunction. [10:29]Before plane travel, it’s a good idea to fast and/or do a high-intensity workout before boarding a plane. [13:34]Pete Carroll, the football coach, gives tips for success. One is always to protect the team; two is no complaining, and three is to be early. [17:13]Remember that you will die. Value your time rather than possessions. Put your life up for review.

Get ready for a fast-moving show that will offer you a brand-new perspective on dating, self-worth, and self-love. In this episode, Jonathon Aslay reveals why dating itself can trigger our deepest fears, shares the 4 Pillars of A Successful Relationship, and breaks down the ways in which we can transcend the flawed modern dating scene to have deeper, more meaningful, more successful dates and long-term romantic partnerships. And it starts with the common denominator in all of your failed relationships: you! That’s right, dating success starts with cultivating self-love and healing childhood trauma. Jonathon is the author of What The Heck Is Self-Love Anyway, a book about healing from grief and childhood trauma to cultivate self-love. Jonathon leverages his message to the unique challenges of the modern dating scene. He is a dating coach specializing in mid-life and purposeful dating ― helping clients transcend the usual obsession with chemistry to become more self-aware and understand what Jonathon calls the 4 Pillars of successful relationships: Chemistry, Common Values, Blendable Lifestyles, and Emotional Maturity. Jonathon is the real deal, having overcome an assortment of personal setbacks to rebuild his life and gift his message to others. After losing his 19-year-old son Connor in 2018, Jonathon was forced to acknowledge what he’s suspected all along: that dating strategies are often too one-dimensional to have a meaningful impact. Instead, it’s the act of dating itself that brings out what he feels is the number one emotional health issue facing singles today: a soul-deep lack of self-worth and self-love. Today, Jonathon is on a mission to encourage both men and women to adopt a daily practice of self-help, personal development, and spirituality, so that they may find true inner happiness, purpose, and peace. With these practices, individuals will attract the relationship of their dreams — and Jonathon is here to help along the way.Enjoy listening to this fun, informative (and quite useful!) show with Jonathon, and if you want to connect with him or learn more about his work, check out his website here.TIMESTAMPS:Jonathan Aslay is a dating coach and expert specializing in midlife and purposeful dating. [01:38]Jonathan’s four pillars for successful dating are chemistry, shared values, a blendable lifestyle, and emotional maturity. [03:00]In the dating realm, old memories of “I’m not good enough” or “I’m not lovable” come up. [05:15]After using the dating profile system, Jonathan realized that he was good at interpreting both men’s and women’s profiles and that’s how his business came about. [07:35]The greater issue in dating is not just biology and attraction, it is more a healing of our childhood wounds and traumas. [08:44]Emotional maturity is one of the key pillars of a relationship. If people don’t take responsibility for their choices, they are not emotionally mature. [11:12]The physical connection is nice but to sustain a long-term relationship, you need blendable lifestyles. [16:33]Romance should be reserved for relationships and not just for dating. [18:13]More women than men ask for help from this dating coach. [21:22]In modern times, the way people meet and get together is so different from the past. [23:15]It took Jonathan over 100 failed dates to realize the common denominator in them all was Jonathan himself. [27:23]Self-love means self-worth, self-confidence, self-esteem, self-reliance, self-respect. [23:45]Can we assume that most everyone has some wounds from their childhood upbringing and are lingering? [30:54]We can either look inward or look to blame the outside world. [31:58]Sadly, people are dating myopically….just thinking about what am I getting here? rather than respecting the other’s feelings. [41:18]Ask value-based questions on that first date. [46:38]It is important to be honest and straightforward in communicating how you see the relationship. Are you looking for a partner? Are you just having fun? Benefits? [52:40]It’s not necessarily rejection. It is a misalignment. It is an awareness. [54:09]Biology makes up a small percentage of the other person’s personality. [56:15]Meeting up with a stranger is a challenge, these days.

Can you truly change others? And what is the price you pay for trying to do so? What if there was an easier way of dealing with that desire we all have to change the behavior, habits, or beliefs of those around us? In this episode, I’ll share the most useful and insightful tips I’ve gathered from various experts and invite you to expand your perspective on the topic of changing others.Best-selling author Mark Manson remarked during his Get Over Yourself show appearance that instead of trying to change others, “You must decide what you are willing to tolerate and not willing to tolerate in your relationships.” Otherwise, you’ll be stuck in a “lose-lose situation” if you continue to try to change someone, or if you yourself end up changing for someone else. Another one of my favorite insights from Mark was his argument that self worth is an “illusion” and that you should best view your life as a series of decisions and actions. Instead, work on cultivating self discipline, because self discipline is the real key to happiness. I also love Mark’s stance on never using other people as a means to an end. Don’t think about what others can do for you, but rather, what you can do to be of service to others. I’m also a fan of the actor Dax Shepard’s podcast Armchair Expert and share a story from one episode about how he handled an issue he was having with his wife, actress Kristen Bell. Annoyed with her habit of reading and responding to emails at night in bed, Dax remarked something along the lines of, ‘Can’t you schedule your time better during the day so you don’t do this at night?’ Well, unsurprisingly, that did not go over well. What did, however, was a different approach, with Dax simply telling her that he needed her full attention. The heart of the issue changed: it was no longer about what he wanted her to do, but instead about what he needed from her, and that made all the difference. I wrap up the show with some great insights from Dave Rossi, who says that, “Attachments in relationships set you up for pain and suffering” and advises us to, “Accept others as they are, and don’t try to change them.” Thanks for listening, and check back for part 3 of this series which will cover insights from experts on how to optimize your health!TIMESTAMPS:Don’t try to change other people. [01:28]Self-worth is an illusion. [02:15]If someone is trying to change you, then you are stuck in a lose-lose situation. [03:37]Learn to express your own needs by doing it in a way where you are not trying to change the other person. [05:06]The conditioned self responds to situations that supersede our power to make choices. [08:48]The highest level of human consciousness would be to never use others as a means to an end. [11:56]Don’t judge people. Don’t try to change people. Accept them for who they are.

I welcome my old friend Zach Bitter to the show to talk about all things related to peak performance and endurance. Zach is the host of the Human Performance Outliers podcast and is definitely honoring the show title with his amazing ultrarunning performances. He is the world record holder at 100 miles with an astonishing time of 11 hours, 19 minutes, which equates to running 6 min, 48 seconds per mile all day long!Go try running one mile at that pace, and then repeat 100 times! Zach also busted the world record for 100 miles on a treadmill, so don’t complain that you get “bored” after 42 minutes at the gym. Zach has also long been a leader in fat-adapted endurance training, having discovered that a nutrient-dense, low carbohydrate diet helps him recover faster and also gives him a performance edge during ultramarathon competitions because he doesn’t require as many on-board calories as when he was a high carb athlete. Zach was a participant in the FASTER study (Fat Adapted Substrate utilization in Trained Elite Runners) where groundbreaking discoveries were made for the potential of humans to burn fat during exercise at a higher rate than previously thought possible. We get into a bit of science about athletic performance, but the best part of this episode is hearing about Zach’s methodical approach to peak performance and his evolved, process-oriented approach. He loves the challenge of ultrarunning, loves pushing the edges of human endurance performance, but has a healthy competitive disposition and strives to lead a balanced life.  Enjoy listening to this super informative show with Zach, and if you’re interested in connecting with him for coaching, check out his website here.TIMESTAMPS:Zach Bitter is a world record holding runner who ran 100 miles in 11 hours and 19 minutes. He’s going to talk about his training diet. [01:50]As Zach got more serious about his ultramarathon training, he learned more about nutrition. [05:25]Even a strong “healthy” young athlete has energy swings that are not good for him. [08:28]There is not just one way to do this dietary journey. [10:31]Look at the individual plan rather than the group plan for diet and training to see what is best for you. [14:59]Zach uses his training as a school teacher in his coaching work. Treat people as individuals, not by throwing them into one group. [20:04]What was happening in the sport of ultra-marathon in 2010 when Zach got into it? The sport has grown massively. [25:27]Zach fills us in on his succession of breaking records with him amazing times. [31:11]Running on a flat track, Zach was averaging 06:47:05 per mile when he broke the world record. [35:12]If you have a bad race, don’t waste time with a pity party. Think about how to use that experience to help me improve for next time. [38:52]In 2011, Zach started to examine his diet and wanted to see if he could enhance his diet to accommodate his difficult workouts. He talks about his race fueling strategies. [42:36]Here in the year 2020, with so much sports nutrition information, we are still seeing many severe gastrointestinal problems in elite athletes. [51:26]The diet transformation had a huge improvement in terms of his recovery. He had swollen ankles. [54:19]Mike McKnight ran a hundred of miles with no calories.

Today, I’ll be sharing some amazingly effective and extremely thought-provoking insights about interpersonal relationships from true experts in their field. From parenting to friendship to how to deal with your partner on days when you have zero patience, there are definite Do’s and Don’ts to consider when it comes to how you communicate and treat the people closest to you.Luckily, I’ve had the pleasure of having relationship expert (and Time magazine’s Co-Person of the year in 2017!) Dr. Wendy Walsh on Get Over Yourself twice (see show #1 here and show #2 here). Wendy is an evolutionary psychologist and a true trailblazer who also hosts her own podcast called Mating Matters. And, like John Gray, Wendy is aware of the contrast between how little we have evolved biologically and how much gender roles have seriously evolved over time. In this show, you’ll learn the three things a man looks for in a woman (big surprise, #1 is youth and beauty) and the three things women look for in a man, as well as why wearing perfume can actually sabotage your chances of attracting a mate! I’ll also touch on why emotional self-sufficiency is key and the four attributes of winning relationships as defined by Wendy, the first one being physical attraction. Turns out nothing can replace having good ‘ol fashioned chemistry with someone! And while most people tend to assume that that “spark” that you and your partner first experience in the beginning of your relationship is simply not sustainable long-term, then you’re in for a big surprise. This show will teach you why Dr. John Gottman says it is possible to preserve that romantic spark between you and your partner years down the line, and the actions you can take to ensure this.I’ll also talk about the (inverse) power of praise when it comes to parenting your children, why it is important to step away from the “helicopter” parenting trend and not coddle your kids too much, as well as the specific thing my son said to me that really opened my eyes and perspective on parenting. You’ll learn what causes children to be “metabolically and medically accelerated” into adulthood and start to develop diseases like Type 2 Diabetes, fatty liver, and high cholesterol, and why downtime is incredibly important. While it is good for your kids to have activities they enjoy doing, it is never a good idea for them to be constantly busy, distracted, and stimulated. Believe it or not, daydreaming and play are not a waste of time, but in fact, the opposite.I wrap up the show by using a golfing metaphor to describe the balance of the parent-child dynamic, and talk about the importance of setting boundaries for your kids, as well as how you can balance letting go of the need to control your children’s lives while also offering unconditional love and support. Thanks for listening, and stay tuned for more expert advice in part 2 of this episode!TIMESTAMPS:This show is about interpersonal relationships starting with Dr. Wendy Walsh who describes what men and women want from one another. [06:11]The roles have changed so much for men and women in today’s society. [09:11]Men’s criteria to look for in a woman is youth and beauty, loyalty, and kindness. [10:40]Women look for resources, intelligence, and kindness. [13:40]What are the four attributes of a winning relationship? [16:35]Studies have shown that the natural scent that a person gives off has much to do with the attraction. [18:24]Learn to express yourself with loving kindness. [19:31]Empathy is number three on the list for making a good relationship. [21:38]Impulse control goes hand in hand with emotional regulation. [22:18]As highly motivated parents, we often push our children to start acting like adults. [22:58]Even in the most affluent populations, people still suffer from FOMO. [24:24]The high stress life of trying to give the kids every opportunity, has accelerated the development of diseases in children that were not appearing in children years ago. [27:18]Take a deep breath, relax, sit back and let your kid discover the world with them in the driver’s seat.
