I didn't reach my athletic peak until I was 43. I didn't write my first book until I was 44. I didn't start my podcast until I was 45. At 30, I thought my life was over. At 52 I know it's just beginning. Keep running. Never give up. And watch your kite soar. ✌🏼🌱

These questions from @FU_joehudson messed me up.

The basics still win. Listen to the last ROLL ON with Adam Skolnick.

Top 10 insights from @AndrewYang on phone addiction: 1. Smartphones meet the clinical definition of addiction, not just a bad habit 2. Willpower fails because you cannot quit phones, you need them daily 3. The urge to check = discomfort avoidance, not importance 4. You check your phone ~200 times a day, about every 6 minutes 5. Social media is engineered to trigger you, not inform you 6. AI and phones are quietly degrading memory, focus, and problem solving 7. Even having a phone visible reduces trust in conversations 8. “Productivity” scrolling is just socially acceptable distraction 9. Social norms beat self-control, groups change behavior faster than individuals 10. The simplest fix: do not sleep with your phone in the same room If you can reclaim even a fraction of your focus right now, you are ahead of most people

@RichRoll is one of the #podcast community’s original philosophers. I really enjoyed this episode with @davidepstein which is a tour de force on goals, autonomy and freedom. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcas…

Why do we keep doing the same self-sabotaging bullsh*t? Today Dr. Paul Conti returns to the pod to flip the script on modern psychiatry and ask a more generative question: what's going right? New episode is out now.

DC is the dude I decided to celebrate 1-year post spinal surgery by attempting to run a single slow mile this past Saturday in DUMBO—despite my surgeon’s urgings that a future with running is most unlikely scenario. Running, he said, is one thing I should forget about. Permanently retire from. Perhaps he’s right. But I believe in possibility—bullheaded, I need to find out for myself. To set up for success (and avoid recklessness), I prepared for this moment by rigorously devoting the last 130 days to relearning proper posture, and by rebuilding my strength, mobility, stability, and flexibility—all while being careful to not cause undue compression on my lower spine. By dint of inhabiting the patient and plodding tortoise as my precious spirit animal, by the time my 1-year surgery birthday rolled around, I believed myself prepared to test whether a return to running might be even remotely possible. To ‘run’ this science experiment, I recruited my little brother from Down Under to our shared DUMBO laboratory, because @churchill_dan is positively one of the most positive and encouraging people I’m privileged to know. The goal was simple. Run a single mile. As slowly as possible. Success. Not because I completed the mile (I knew I could), but because I woke up the next am w/o pain, which is a joy & a relief. Nonetheless, the significance is symbolic. It doesn’t mean my relationship with running will be what it once was. It won’t. No problem. I don’t need nor even want that. What I do want is new relationship with running, a different affair with my favorite aerobic activity. One that isn’t about being hard, but instead about joy. About service. About connection & community. Today I’m hopeful, a tortoise telling myself that it’s not about fast, it’s about moving forward slowly without the hare giving me care. I say this because my surgery taught me the value of slowing down. How the answers I seek are only available when I am—which means doubling down on being present. Transformation is the prize for moving forward undeterred—knowing all the while that life isn’t a race. It’s an experience to be shared not a competition to win. Thx for the memories Dan & Cole Bradley for the brilliant 📸‼️ ✌🏼🐢 ❤️ -r
