  • Mid-year wake up call part 2

    This is the first episode I’ve watched, and oh my goodness it was so powerful. Near the end of the episode you gave a call to action. You said to pause the episode and do the thing. So I did something I’ve been putting off for way too long — and it was DONE in 15 mins. Thank you for that nudge! Can’t wait to watch more episodes.

  • Suggestion

    When you discuss folks who ‘didn’t get the message about sedentary lifestyles’ until after their 40s, please bear in mind that some people actually struggled with terrible jobs and not enough resources, so it’s not always a ‘choice’ or ‘lifestyle’ Words matter.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Can Anxiety Be a Super-Power? Science Says Yes…ish. | Dr. Wendy Suzuki
Q: What is the pathway between breathing and being able to sort of down regulate this experience of anxiety?
Slow, deep breathing can consciously stimulate the parasympathetic nervous system, slowing respiration and heart rate and supporting the body's rest-and-digest response.
Can Anxiety Be a Super-Power? Science Says Yes…ish. | Dr. Wendy Suzuki
Q: When we're talking about anxiety, what are we actually talking about?
Suzuki describes anxiety as a normal human emotion and protective stress response that evolved to prepare people to respond to danger. It becomes difficult when its intensity is too high.
How to Do an Annual Review That Genuinely Helps You | Tiago Forte
Q: What do you say to that person?
Forte suggests allowing oneself to feel painful emotions rather than trying to fix them. He recalls spending an entire review day hiking and grieving his uncle, and encourages people to shape the review around what they need rather than following a required structure.
How to Do an Annual Review That Genuinely Helps You | Tiago Forte
Q: Your annual review process was inspired literally, not by that, but at gunpoint some 20 years ago. Take me there.
At 23, Forte lived in a favela in Rio de Janeiro while studying and volunteering. On his last day, he filmed his street, was accused of being an informant, and was taken at gunpoint to the traffickers' headquarters. The encounter made him imagine the future experiences he might never have and prompted him to become more intentional.
Jimmy Chin: The Cost of Risking Too Little
Q: How did becoming a dad make you think about risk?
Chin says he still evaluates risks deliberately, while recognizing that he wants time with his children and would not want them to suffer his loss. He also wants them to learn courage and pursue difficult dreams.
