#43 Why You Still Feel Empty After Success | Jake Whan

I sat down with breathwork facilitator and TEDx speaker Jake Whan to talk about why he felt completely empty even after building a successful business and getting his health dialed in, and what he discovered about the emotions we numb instead of feel. We get into his contrarian take that what we call depression is often just grief and sadness that were never allowed to move, why he believes numbing those feelings (with distraction or medication) keeps us stuck, and the profound spiritual experience that changed how he sees shame, healing, and connection. Whether or not you share his spiritual lens, his core claim is testable: you can sit with the emotion you've been running from and discover that you felt it, and you're fine.  Learn what Wharton Business School will never teach you!  Sign up for the ANTI-MBA today: https://bit.ly/46vct60 [https://bit.ly/46vct60] Click here to order your personalized poster!: https://bit.ly/46J08MS [https://bit.ly/46J08MS] Listen to "The Second Coming" on all your favorite platforms!

#42 The Therapy He Found Overseas Could Redefine Longevity | Sanjiv Lal

I sat down with Sanjiv Lal, co-founder and CEO of Regen Therapy, to unpack what cellular aging actually is and why he calls aging itself "the real disease" behind nearly every chronic condition. We get into the biology of how our cells start misfiring, why he believes the cell-signaling we lose at 28 is the lever that matters most, and his own story of a COVID hospitalization that left his kidneys failing. I also press the skeptical questions: How do you measure if any of this works?

#41 How to Build Muscle After 40 With Short Workouts | Rab Shanableh

You might think more time in the gym means more results. But after decades of long, grinding sessions, a lot of dedicated lifters end up with less muscle, more nagging injuries, and almost nothing to show for the hours they put in. In this conversation, I sit down with Rab Shanableh, co-founder and CEO of Oxefit, to unpack why the length of your workout has almost nothing to do with its quality.  Learn what Wharton Business School will never teach you!  Sign up for the ANTI-MBA today: https://bit.ly/46vct60 [https://bit.ly/46vct60] Click here to order your personalized poster!: https://bit.ly/46J08MS [https://bit.ly/46J08MS] Download the Ox AI app on the App Store and see how it becomes your ultimate training companion: https://bit.ly/4vikzKE [https://www.oxeai.com/]  Connect with Rab Shanableh Website: https://bit.ly/4a8WGMV [https://www.oxefit.com/corev]  YouTube: https://bit.ly/4aWYSr9 [https://www.youtube.com/@oxefit/featured]  Instagram: https://bit.ly/4a74wa1 [https://www.instagram.com/rab_shanableh/]  Facebook: https://bit.ly/4eeIggL [http://facebook.com/oxefit]  TikTok: https://bit.ly/4viIPwf [https://www.tiktok.com/@oxefit_inc]  X: https://bit.ly/4a0GY6E [http://x.com/OxeFit]  LinkedIn: https://bit.ly/4a24RuC [https://www.linkedin.com/company/oxefit/]  Timestamps 00:00 - Intro of Show 01:04 - Disrupting a 100-year-old rehab room 02:25 - Meeting co-founder Dr. Peter Neuhaus 04:00 - Why you need data under load 05:43 - The problem with too many trackers 06:00 - Same results in 20 minutes 07:04 - The AI that knows you better 09:05 - Losing muscle with age 09:39 - The built-in fitness assessments 10:55 - Cardio testing on the smaller device 12:07 - Why it was never a fitness machine 15:13 - 7,000 devices and a B2B-first strategy 16:56 - Why your trackers disagree 20:23 - Self-funding and raising $105M 21:47 - Thoughts on exit timing 22:29 - All innovation now in Oxi AI 24:11 - How AI reshapes building the product 29:41 - Starting out of a closed Pensacola bar 30:36 - 18 months to MVP 32:43 - Leadership, equity, and hiring for grit 33:55 - Everyone is a shareholder 39:00 - Green flags and red flags in hiring 41:44 - Using Oxford at home 43:26 - Where to find Rab and OxeFit Watch the “Business of Wellness Podcast” every Thursday at 8 AM EST on YouTube: https://bit.ly/3ZGK2yv [https://bit.ly/3ZGK2yv] Connect with David Guttman Website: https://bit.ly/4jclYvK [https://bit.ly/4jclYvK] Instagram: https://bit.ly/4iARMe9 [https://bit.ly/4iARMe9] TikTok: https://bit.ly/3P19NVm [https://bit.ly/3P19NVm] Facebook: https://bit.ly/49CQjQx [https://bit.ly/49CQjQx] X: https://bit.ly/4gH28aR [https://bit.ly/4gH28aR] LinkedIn: https://bit.ly/3Bx7Tc2 [https://bit.ly/3Bx7Tc2]

#40 How to Raise Kids Who Aren't Soft. Chores, Cash, and Their First Stock Account | Ryan Stewman

I sat down with Ryan Stewman, who runs cattle on hundreds of acres, and he laid out why your grocery bill is about to jump a lot harder than the usual few percent this fall. He walked me through the math from inside the supply chain: cattle prices up roughly 5x in four years, fertilizer and diesel roughly doubled, and most farms planting less, and explained why the real shock doesn't hit until the September harvest. Watch the full conversation to hear exactly what he's watching for, and why he thinks most people won't see it coming until it's already on the shelf.

#39 This Device Changes How You Handle Stress | Jon Hacker

You’re not burned out from doing too much. You’re burned out because your nervous system’s recovery switch stopped working, and every small stressor you face is being processed the same way your body would process a predator. Jon Hacker, founder of NeurGear, calls this being stuck in survival mode. His company built a device, Zen Buds, that uses focused ultrasound to directly stimulate the vagus nerve and reactivate the parasympathetic recovery response. Five minutes a day. Clinical data. No gel. No electrodes. No drift.
