#11: Reality Isn't Real: An Introduction to Simulation Theory

Today's episode is a little bit mind-boggling. Have you ever considered that we might be living in a simulation? I never had, but Elon Musk's simulation theory is extremely compelling. Given the amount of time that the universe has existed, and how short humanity has existed on a geological scale, it's entirely possible that we're not the first species. Compounded with advances in virtual reality, there's a "one in a billion" chance that we're the first species to do virtual reality. What's that mean? It could mean we're living in someone else's virtual reality now. Listen in as I discuss the basics of Simulation Theory, and how the world around us might not be as real as we thought.

#10: Fitness, Longevity, and Overcoming Injuries (with Steven Watts)

In the FIRST EVER guest episode on Living and Learning, I'm joined by Steven Watts of Watts Performance Training to talk fitness, longevity and dealing with injuries. Listen as Steven and I talk about what to do in the gym, as well as what to do outside the gym to ensure that you stay healthy, feel good, and can keep exercising throughout your entire life.

#9: The Solutions Mindset

When you're facing tough problems, it's easy to get overwhelmed and feel like you're trapped. The key to overcoming big obstacles is the MINDSET. Stop focusing on the problem and focus on the SOLUTION! Change your mindset and you can change your outcome.

#8: Be Patient and Don't Look Back

When you set high standards for yourself, it's easy to get frustrated when you're not seeing the results you were hoping for. You're putting in all the effort, you're doing the right things, but you're not seeing the fruits of your labor. This is okay. Keep going! One of the biggest problems young people have is being impatient and wanting success overnight. Keep plugging away, even if you're not seeing the success you want yet, and eventually it will come. Focus on what's in front of you and don't look back!
