I don't love extreme heat, 26 00:01:08,360 --> 00:01:10,560 Speaker 1: but I just I just stay out of it. It's like, 27 00:01:11,360 --> 00:01:14,160 Speaker 1: you know, but anyway, it is what it is. What's 28 00:01:14,160 --> 00:01:18,959 Speaker 1: happening on planets Richardson, what's happening over there at you Central? 29 00:01:20,520 --> 00:01:22,759 Speaker 2: Well, we've got a very sad and sorry pooch here 30 00:01:22,800 --> 00:01:23,360 Speaker 2: at the moment. 31 00:01:23,440 --> 00:01:25,360 Speaker 3: He's got a cloud collar and have you ever had 32 00:01:25,360 --> 00:01:26,760 Speaker 3: of a cloud collar tear. 33 00:01:26,640 --> 00:01:28,840 Speaker 1: For half a bucket thing? 34 00:01:31,400 --> 00:01:33,600 Speaker 3: It's like it's like your neck rest when you're flying, 35 00:01:33,640 --> 00:01:36,559 Speaker 3: but at valcrows around to kind of stop them licking 36 00:01:36,600 --> 00:01:41,479 Speaker 3: their wounds. We've got the bucket head thing happening for him. 37 00:01:41,920 --> 00:01:44,440 Speaker 3: But he also had an ECG in his heart today 38 00:01:44,440 --> 00:01:47,440 Speaker 3: because he has a heart murmur. So that was pricey 39 00:01:47,520 --> 00:01:52,160 Speaker 3: but also very good news that the heart murmur is significant, 40 00:01:52,840 --> 00:01:57,640 Speaker 3: but not so significant that it needs surgery or any 41 00:01:57,760 --> 00:01:59,600 Speaker 3: change to his routine. 42 00:02:00,000 --> 00:02:01,440 Speaker 2: We're relieved, We're very happy. 43 00:02:02,400 --> 00:02:07,880 Speaker 1: Wow, that is good, that is good. What's his name? Dusty, Dusty, 44 00:02:07,920 --> 00:02:11,240 Speaker 1: good old Dusty. Melissa Marie Cameron said to me, can 45 00:02:11,280 --> 00:02:12,920 Speaker 1: you make sure that Dusty is okay? 46 00:02:12,960 --> 00:02:13,080 Speaker 3: Like? 47 00:02:13,160 --> 00:02:15,720 Speaker 1: That's that. I spoke to her half an hour ago, 48 00:02:15,800 --> 00:02:17,959 Speaker 1: so that was her only request about. 49 00:02:17,680 --> 00:02:21,640 Speaker 3: The Yeah, right, because I rescheduled this to a little 50 00:02:21,639 --> 00:02:24,280 Speaker 3: bit later because the specialist got me in at ten 51 00:02:24,320 --> 00:02:27,919 Speaker 3: this morning. So yeah, he wasn't happy about it. He 52 00:02:27,960 --> 00:02:29,280 Speaker 3: was not happy. He's very growly. 53 00:02:29,360 --> 00:02:30,880 Speaker 2: He would have bitten someone if he didn't have a 54 00:02:30,880 --> 00:02:31,760 Speaker 2: big party hat on. 55 00:02:33,200 --> 00:02:39,560 Speaker 1: What's the what's the prognosis and what's the protocol moving forward? 56 00:02:39,919 --> 00:02:40,600 Speaker 2: Well, it was so. 57 00:02:40,520 --> 00:02:42,600 Speaker 3: Interesting because it kind of took me back to my 58 00:02:42,639 --> 00:02:45,240 Speaker 3: anatomy days. I didn't know dog's hearts and human hearts 59 00:02:45,240 --> 00:02:48,120 Speaker 3: were pretty much. I mean, the Vetzel shoot be for this, 60 00:02:48,200 --> 00:02:51,239 Speaker 3: but kind of identical, you know, from a basic anatomy 61 00:02:51,280 --> 00:02:54,799 Speaker 3: point of view. And poor chambers, all that, poor chambers, 62 00:02:55,120 --> 00:02:58,640 Speaker 3: him's ventricles, valves and all that, and essentially there's a 63 00:02:58,760 --> 00:03:02,880 Speaker 3: valve that is not working properly, and so one of 64 00:03:02,919 --> 00:03:05,600 Speaker 3: the chambers is having to work harder, the pressure is higher, 65 00:03:05,720 --> 00:03:08,920 Speaker 3: there's thickening of the muscle. These sorts of things can 66 00:03:08,919 --> 00:03:13,080 Speaker 3: happen in people as well. But thankfully because when you know, 67 00:03:13,280 --> 00:03:16,200 Speaker 3: like with people, like if you don't understand what's happening 68 00:03:16,200 --> 00:03:18,440 Speaker 3: with your heart, know how to kind of look after 69 00:03:18,480 --> 00:03:21,400 Speaker 3: yourself or your pet, you know, there can be some 70 00:03:21,480 --> 00:03:24,280 Speaker 3: really serious kind of fallout from these sorts of things. 71 00:03:24,280 --> 00:03:29,280 Speaker 2: So, yeah, he's six, and the specialists just said, look, 72 00:03:29,320 --> 00:03:29,840 Speaker 2: he's got to. 73 00:03:29,840 --> 00:03:31,720 Speaker 3: Six, and if this is how kind of bad it 74 00:03:31,800 --> 00:03:35,360 Speaker 3: is at six, we shouldn't expect too much more. But 75 00:03:35,720 --> 00:03:38,120 Speaker 3: he's doped out at the moment, he's completely passed out 76 00:03:38,120 --> 00:03:40,280 Speaker 3: because you have to give them all these sedatives and everything, 77 00:03:40,320 --> 00:03:41,920 Speaker 3: and poor little thing. 78 00:03:42,280 --> 00:03:43,040 Speaker 2: But their family. 79 00:03:43,200 --> 00:03:46,440 Speaker 3: I know, Tiff, I know you've got your beautiful cat 80 00:03:46,480 --> 00:03:46,920 Speaker 3: and your dog. 81 00:03:48,240 --> 00:03:49,280 Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, for a. 82 00:03:49,200 --> 00:03:52,400 Speaker 3: Lot of us, our pets are absolutely family. And so 83 00:03:53,280 --> 00:03:55,760 Speaker 3: whilst it was close to one thousand dollars for this test, 84 00:03:56,760 --> 00:03:59,560 Speaker 3: was like, well, you know, we're really relieved we've got 85 00:03:59,600 --> 00:04:02,040 Speaker 3: that piece of mine. Now that he can play and 86 00:04:02,080 --> 00:04:04,080 Speaker 3: he can run, we don't, you know, to take him 87 00:04:04,080 --> 00:04:07,200 Speaker 3: on anything too strenuous. He's not a working border collie. 88 00:04:07,400 --> 00:04:11,840 Speaker 3: So yeah, yeah, so that's good news. 89 00:04:11,880 --> 00:04:18,360 Speaker 1: One of my friends, you know, Rustiff, Yeah, yep, so 90 00:04:18,560 --> 00:04:24,800 Speaker 1: her brother got a German German Shepherd something cross. Apparently 91 00:04:24,800 --> 00:04:28,640 Speaker 1: beautiful dog got really really is not funny. But what 92 00:04:28,640 --> 00:04:31,039 Speaker 1: I'm about to say, the dog's fine, but the dog 93 00:04:31,080 --> 00:04:37,240 Speaker 1: got very sick. Nelly died that bill thirty three thousand dollars, 94 00:04:37,240 --> 00:04:42,880 Speaker 1: thirty three thousand dollars, and I'm like, wow, that is 95 00:04:43,520 --> 00:04:48,039 Speaker 1: that is that is love. That is that is lots 96 00:04:48,040 --> 00:04:50,159 Speaker 1: of money and that is love. Because I think there's 97 00:04:50,200 --> 00:04:53,280 Speaker 1: a few people who might go, oh, sorry, fidoh. 98 00:04:53,560 --> 00:05:00,480 Speaker 3: Yeah, you know, that's understandably heartbreaking, heartbreaking. We've had emergency visits, 99 00:05:00,480 --> 00:05:03,960 Speaker 3: we've had blocked a softage deal, a sophageal blocks with 100 00:05:04,040 --> 00:05:06,520 Speaker 3: previous dogs and everything, and we kind of had to 101 00:05:06,560 --> 00:05:10,040 Speaker 3: sign off on kind of you know, what's the maximum, 102 00:05:10,080 --> 00:05:13,720 Speaker 3: like we got again that was a pretty straightforward procedure too, 103 00:05:13,720 --> 00:05:15,480 Speaker 3: and we got away with that for about one thousand 104 00:05:15,480 --> 00:05:20,719 Speaker 3: dollars maybe fifteen years ago, but we kind of signed 105 00:05:20,720 --> 00:05:24,159 Speaker 3: off on up to five before more consultation. But man, 106 00:05:24,160 --> 00:05:26,440 Speaker 3: oh man, it puts you under the pump. And what 107 00:05:26,520 --> 00:05:29,279 Speaker 3: a heartbreaking decision to make. Pains me to think of 108 00:05:29,839 --> 00:05:32,159 Speaker 3: not everyone can afford to spend that kind of money 109 00:05:32,200 --> 00:05:36,960 Speaker 3: on a pet, you know, no questions. So gosh, yeah, 110 00:05:37,080 --> 00:05:39,960 Speaker 3: that hopefully they were pre warned about that bill and 111 00:05:40,000 --> 00:05:41,359 Speaker 3: that there's a payment plan option. 112 00:05:42,080 --> 00:05:46,040 Speaker 1: Yeah, well I think I think I think he's okay financially, 113 00:05:46,080 --> 00:05:49,920 Speaker 1: which but yeah, I I reckon if my dog got 114 00:05:49,960 --> 00:05:55,160 Speaker 1: sick like that's sick. I think within reason, I mean, 115 00:05:55,240 --> 00:05:58,000 Speaker 1: even without reason, I think I just have to figure 116 00:05:58,000 --> 00:06:01,480 Speaker 1: it out. Like I couldn't. I couldn't, I couldn't go Nah, Sorry, 117 00:06:01,480 --> 00:06:05,440 Speaker 1: I don't love you that much. I just have Anyway, 118 00:06:05,480 --> 00:06:07,440 Speaker 1: this is not a very uplifting start to that. 119 00:06:07,600 --> 00:06:10,200 Speaker 2: True, let's talk about something all positive you. 120 00:06:10,160 --> 00:06:12,560 Speaker 1: Were telling us before we went live, which I love 121 00:06:12,600 --> 00:06:16,919 Speaker 1: the idea of. I mean, I'm very, very very pro 122 00:06:18,200 --> 00:06:21,000 Speaker 1: people who are really at any age. But I think 123 00:06:21,040 --> 00:06:23,640 Speaker 1: it's really important that people who are forty plus are 124 00:06:23,720 --> 00:06:27,919 Speaker 1: consciously doing things to keep their brain working, their mind working, 125 00:06:28,680 --> 00:06:31,760 Speaker 1: developing new skills, learning new things. And it's good that 126 00:06:31,800 --> 00:06:33,560 Speaker 1: we train our body, and I think more and more 127 00:06:33,600 --> 00:06:38,760 Speaker 1: people are exercising productively and effectively and understanding the link 128 00:06:38,839 --> 00:06:43,040 Speaker 1: between moving our body and health span and lifespan and 129 00:06:43,040 --> 00:06:45,159 Speaker 1: all of that stuff, but trying to keep our brain 130 00:06:45,320 --> 00:06:50,280 Speaker 1: working optimally for longer. And maybe with that in mind 131 00:06:50,400 --> 00:06:52,719 Speaker 1: or not. But you've taken up a new hobby. 132 00:06:53,480 --> 00:06:57,240 Speaker 3: I have, and yeah, it's definitely top of mind for me. 133 00:06:58,560 --> 00:06:59,720 Speaker 3: We can talk about that why. 134 00:07:00,040 --> 00:07:02,960 Speaker 2: But yeah, I've started learning the piano and. 135 00:07:04,480 --> 00:07:07,480 Speaker 3: It look I mean it's a keyboard, it's an electronic keyboard. 136 00:07:07,560 --> 00:07:08,599 Speaker 2: We've had here for years. 137 00:07:08,640 --> 00:07:11,480 Speaker 3: And our daughter is a singer and has had music 138 00:07:11,560 --> 00:07:15,520 Speaker 3: lessons for years. And I was a real musical kind 139 00:07:15,560 --> 00:07:18,800 Speaker 3: of kid a long long time ago, but never never 140 00:07:18,880 --> 00:07:23,600 Speaker 3: could play more than chopsticks on a piano. And I've 141 00:07:23,720 --> 00:07:26,480 Speaker 3: kind of forgotten how to read music and anywhere. I've 142 00:07:26,480 --> 00:07:29,880 Speaker 3: got an app. It's called Simply Piano. It's free to 143 00:07:29,920 --> 00:07:32,840 Speaker 3: start with and then you can upgrade. And we did 144 00:07:32,880 --> 00:07:36,840 Speaker 3: to a family plan. And my mum's seventy seven. She 145 00:07:36,920 --> 00:07:38,720 Speaker 3: came around yesterday and I was telling her about it 146 00:07:38,760 --> 00:07:41,160 Speaker 3: and she's like, oh my gosh, Aldie have keyboards at 147 00:07:41,160 --> 00:07:43,400 Speaker 3: the moment. Of course they do, so she's going to 148 00:07:43,400 --> 00:07:45,960 Speaker 3: get herself a keyboard and I've added her to the 149 00:07:46,000 --> 00:07:46,640 Speaker 3: family plan. 150 00:07:46,800 --> 00:07:48,000 Speaker 2: I am loving it, Craig. 151 00:07:48,080 --> 00:07:50,720 Speaker 3: It's very rewarding, but it's I also know it's really 152 00:07:50,800 --> 00:07:51,800 Speaker 3: really good for my brain. 153 00:07:52,400 --> 00:07:57,840 Speaker 1: Yeah, one hundred's. It's funny how much we like when 154 00:07:57,840 --> 00:08:01,360 Speaker 1: you talk about, you know, cognitiveunction, how well your brain works, 155 00:08:01,440 --> 00:08:03,320 Speaker 1: or how your brain works for how long and we 156 00:08:03,400 --> 00:08:07,440 Speaker 1: talk about there's so much conversation around Alzheimer's and dementia 157 00:08:07,480 --> 00:08:11,600 Speaker 1: and cognitive decline and brain health in general. But there's 158 00:08:11,720 --> 00:08:14,280 Speaker 1: really not I know there's some, but there's really not 159 00:08:14,480 --> 00:08:21,360 Speaker 1: a lot of encouragement for people to do things other 160 00:08:21,440 --> 00:08:24,000 Speaker 1: than you know, we know that there's a relationship between 161 00:08:24,040 --> 00:08:26,400 Speaker 1: cognitive function and sleep and diet and all of those things, 162 00:08:26,440 --> 00:08:30,280 Speaker 1: which are also very important. But for me, I think, 163 00:08:30,320 --> 00:08:33,200 Speaker 1: almost at the top of the list, even before the 164 00:08:33,240 --> 00:08:36,960 Speaker 1: other stuff, is just how you use your brain and 165 00:08:37,000 --> 00:08:40,599 Speaker 1: your ability to keep, for want of a better analogy, 166 00:08:40,679 --> 00:08:43,319 Speaker 1: to keep training it, just like you train your biceps 167 00:08:43,400 --> 00:08:45,400 Speaker 1: or your lats or your delts or your legs or 168 00:08:45,400 --> 00:08:48,559 Speaker 1: your heart to be able to train your brain so 169 00:08:48,600 --> 00:08:51,600 Speaker 1: that it works as well as it can for as 170 00:08:51,640 --> 00:08:52,360 Speaker 1: long as it can. 171 00:08:52,840 --> 00:08:56,520 Speaker 3: Totally, you're exactly right when it comes to kind of 172 00:08:56,559 --> 00:08:59,480 Speaker 3: thinking about the brain in this way. And it's not 173 00:08:59,520 --> 00:09:02,120 Speaker 3: my experts at all, but I'm learning more about it. 174 00:09:02,160 --> 00:09:05,400 Speaker 3: I'm really interested. My mother in law has dementia. At fifty, 175 00:09:05,520 --> 00:09:07,640 Speaker 3: my friends and I started to talk about what's happening 176 00:09:07,679 --> 00:09:12,400 Speaker 3: with our aging parents and things like that, and you know, 177 00:09:12,559 --> 00:09:15,400 Speaker 3: neurons that fire together, wire together. We know that's sort 178 00:09:15,400 --> 00:09:18,560 Speaker 3: of a bit of an old neuroscience saying, but what 179 00:09:18,720 --> 00:09:22,760 Speaker 3: I recently learned is that we can the more we 180 00:09:22,800 --> 00:09:25,880 Speaker 3: sort of build these neurons and sort of build our 181 00:09:25,920 --> 00:09:29,079 Speaker 3: brain for one of a better kind of expression. The 182 00:09:30,800 --> 00:09:33,360 Speaker 3: more we've got to kind of lose before the function, 183 00:09:33,679 --> 00:09:37,319 Speaker 3: you know, in terms of brain changes with age, you know, 184 00:09:37,400 --> 00:09:41,599 Speaker 3: with dementia of you know, any particular kind Alzheimer's or 185 00:09:41,640 --> 00:09:45,320 Speaker 3: Lewis body or CTE for those who play rugby or 186 00:09:46,800 --> 00:09:49,800 Speaker 3: you know, footy and things like that American football. That 187 00:09:50,520 --> 00:09:55,440 Speaker 3: if you've got a bigger kind of reserve than any 188 00:09:55,520 --> 00:09:59,520 Speaker 3: changes that, if you've got a lesser reserve, you'll notice 189 00:09:59,559 --> 00:10:03,320 Speaker 3: the change sooner. Whereas if you've got a bigger reserve 190 00:10:03,320 --> 00:10:06,800 Speaker 3: in terms of your brain building and growing neurons, then 191 00:10:07,360 --> 00:10:11,000 Speaker 3: you'll delay those noticeable changes to your thinking and your 192 00:10:11,000 --> 00:10:11,959 Speaker 3: memory and things like that. 193 00:10:12,120 --> 00:10:14,679 Speaker 2: So, you know, we're all living older longer. 194 00:10:15,080 --> 00:10:18,120 Speaker 3: People are dying older, and I think that's why we're 195 00:10:18,160 --> 00:10:21,560 Speaker 3: hearing and talking so much about kind of memory loss. 196 00:10:22,920 --> 00:10:24,439 Speaker 2: That's why that's. 197 00:10:24,280 --> 00:10:26,560 Speaker 3: More of a significant problem now, because people aren't dying 198 00:10:26,559 --> 00:10:27,320 Speaker 3: from other things. 199 00:10:28,000 --> 00:10:30,160 Speaker 1: Well, and I think what else is interesting? And this 200 00:10:30,280 --> 00:10:32,760 Speaker 1: is just my observation. I don't have data in front 201 00:10:32,800 --> 00:10:36,319 Speaker 1: of me, so it could be wrong, but I'm pretty 202 00:10:36,360 --> 00:10:38,840 Speaker 1: sure I'm not with this. Yeah, we're living longer, but 203 00:10:38,880 --> 00:10:42,520 Speaker 1: I don't think our health span is longer generally speaking. 204 00:10:42,520 --> 00:10:45,120 Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying, it's late. There are some 205 00:10:45,160 --> 00:10:48,160 Speaker 1: people living to ninety, and some are living to ninety 206 00:10:48,200 --> 00:10:49,839 Speaker 1: and they're great, But some are living to ninety in 207 00:10:49,880 --> 00:10:53,800 Speaker 1: their last twenty years is fucking terrible. But there's drugs 208 00:10:53,880 --> 00:10:56,520 Speaker 1: keeping them alive. But what's not keeping them alive is 209 00:10:56,559 --> 00:10:59,640 Speaker 1: great lifestyle or great habits or great behaviors or great 210 00:10:59,679 --> 00:11:03,360 Speaker 1: food or you know it's that. And then I'm not 211 00:11:03,400 --> 00:11:05,959 Speaker 1: trying to be judgmental here, I'm just like I always think, 212 00:11:06,000 --> 00:11:08,839 Speaker 1: you've got one brain. Why don't you do everything you 213 00:11:08,880 --> 00:11:13,000 Speaker 1: can fucking do to make that brain work great? Because 214 00:11:13,040 --> 00:11:17,160 Speaker 1: you can you can like, you can't get a different brain, 215 00:11:17,520 --> 00:11:20,040 Speaker 1: and you can't change your genetics, and you can't wake 216 00:11:20,120 --> 00:11:22,480 Speaker 1: up tomorrow and be ten years younger. But what you 217 00:11:22,559 --> 00:11:27,000 Speaker 1: can do today is do something. You know, learn the piano, 218 00:11:27,240 --> 00:11:30,480 Speaker 1: go do a course, read a book, do some memory puzzle, 219 00:11:30,679 --> 00:11:34,400 Speaker 1: solve some problems, like do something where you have to 220 00:11:34,559 --> 00:11:39,600 Speaker 1: think and stop living. So many people I don't mean 221 00:11:39,640 --> 00:11:41,800 Speaker 1: to sound judge you, but so many people truly live 222 00:11:41,800 --> 00:11:44,560 Speaker 1: in this just this groundhog day of repetition where they 223 00:11:44,559 --> 00:11:47,440 Speaker 1: don't fucking do new things, and then they look up 224 00:11:47,480 --> 00:11:49,160 Speaker 1: and they're like, I've been doing the same thing for 225 00:11:49,160 --> 00:11:51,559 Speaker 1: the last five years, and by the way, that thing 226 00:11:51,600 --> 00:11:53,880 Speaker 1: that I do every day, it doesn't really work. It's 227 00:11:53,920 --> 00:11:56,720 Speaker 1: not optimal. And if Craig said to me, oh, do 228 00:11:56,760 --> 00:11:58,400 Speaker 1: you want your brain to work better, I'm going to 229 00:11:58,400 --> 00:12:00,240 Speaker 1: go yes, but I'm not doing anything to make could 230 00:12:00,240 --> 00:12:03,439 Speaker 1: work better. You know, do you want to be healthier? Yes, 231 00:12:03,480 --> 00:12:06,360 Speaker 1: I do, but I'm not doing anything consciously and consistently 232 00:12:06,440 --> 00:12:11,199 Speaker 1: to be healthier. Like this shit doesn't magically manifest. We 233 00:12:11,280 --> 00:12:14,280 Speaker 1: need to recognize the issue and then do the work, 234 00:12:14,360 --> 00:12:17,040 Speaker 1: you know, and and doing the work can be fun, 235 00:12:17,120 --> 00:12:21,040 Speaker 1: like learning the piano or you know, fucking doing learning 236 00:12:21,080 --> 00:12:24,000 Speaker 1: another language. You know. One of the things I want 237 00:12:24,040 --> 00:12:28,480 Speaker 1: to do when I finish my current study is I 238 00:12:28,600 --> 00:12:30,400 Speaker 1: want to I want to learn language. I don't know 239 00:12:30,440 --> 00:12:32,960 Speaker 1: what I'm going to learn, but I'm pretty sure because 240 00:12:33,000 --> 00:12:35,199 Speaker 1: I don't speak anything at all, not even a bit 241 00:12:35,280 --> 00:12:37,200 Speaker 1: other than English. And some people would argue that I 242 00:12:37,320 --> 00:12:41,520 Speaker 1: mutilate the fuck out of that, but ah, you know, 243 00:12:41,640 --> 00:12:44,360 Speaker 1: but I just think that is definitely going That is 244 00:12:44,400 --> 00:12:47,200 Speaker 1: definitely going to be a challenge for me because it's 245 00:12:47,360 --> 00:12:51,440 Speaker 1: just like walking through a brand new door into a 246 00:12:51,520 --> 00:12:55,280 Speaker 1: room you've never been, you know, so excited about that. 247 00:12:55,880 --> 00:12:59,040 Speaker 3: Yeah, Yeah, and the technology that we can use to 248 00:12:59,160 --> 00:13:02,000 Speaker 3: this our daughter line and Spanish with due lingo. 249 00:13:02,720 --> 00:13:03,360 Speaker 2: It's so funny. 250 00:13:03,360 --> 00:13:05,360 Speaker 3: I saw a poster that I on LinkedIn somebody had 251 00:13:05,520 --> 00:13:07,880 Speaker 3: some sort of detox retreat. They said, duo lingo is 252 00:13:08,160 --> 00:13:10,520 Speaker 3: killing our business. People don't want to lose their eighteen 253 00:13:10,600 --> 00:13:14,440 Speaker 3: hundred day duo lingo streaks because the gamification is so 254 00:13:14,760 --> 00:13:20,200 Speaker 3: well designed. That really yeah, totally, And yeah, I know 255 00:13:20,280 --> 00:13:22,200 Speaker 3: lots of people who sort of kickstart it that way. 256 00:13:22,280 --> 00:13:29,600 Speaker 3: And there's alkie ILK, I dot something or other easily 257 00:13:29,640 --> 00:13:33,400 Speaker 3: googled where you can meet a native language speaker of 258 00:13:33,440 --> 00:13:35,520 Speaker 3: the language you're learning and set up regular kind of 259 00:13:35,559 --> 00:13:38,720 Speaker 3: zoom meetings. And often it's not at a huge cost, 260 00:13:38,760 --> 00:13:41,360 Speaker 3: depending on what you're learning and who you're talking to 261 00:13:41,400 --> 00:13:43,640 Speaker 3: and where they are. Could be ten bucks an hour 262 00:13:43,760 --> 00:13:47,400 Speaker 3: or something or ten bucks for thirty minutes, and so 263 00:13:47,440 --> 00:13:52,480 Speaker 3: there's so much. But I tell you what, it's uncomfortable 264 00:13:52,520 --> 00:13:55,240 Speaker 3: to start with because it's like such a brain strain, 265 00:13:55,400 --> 00:13:58,960 Speaker 3: like you can feel like, especially like with the piano learning, 266 00:13:59,760 --> 00:14:02,400 Speaker 3: like do something different with your left hand to your 267 00:14:02,480 --> 00:14:05,760 Speaker 3: right hand, and you think, oh man, oh this is 268 00:14:05,760 --> 00:14:08,400 Speaker 3: going to be my ceiling, like I'm going to really 269 00:14:08,600 --> 00:14:11,800 Speaker 3: spend a lot of time here. But it's incredible because 270 00:14:11,800 --> 00:14:15,240 Speaker 3: of the way the learning is designed. How much easier 271 00:14:15,280 --> 00:14:16,880 Speaker 3: it is than you think it's going to be. It's 272 00:14:16,960 --> 00:14:18,880 Speaker 3: just getting started and being consistent. 273 00:14:19,400 --> 00:14:24,480 Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah, Speaking of left handed or right handed, 274 00:14:25,600 --> 00:14:30,960 Speaker 1: I I did this thing in chatters before chat GPT. 275 00:14:31,200 --> 00:14:34,720 Speaker 1: I was curious to see if there's any This is hilarious, 276 00:14:34,760 --> 00:14:38,040 Speaker 1: so I typed in, is there any research suggesting that 277 00:14:38,160 --> 00:14:41,280 Speaker 1: left handers are more intelligent? But here's the hilarious thing. 278 00:14:41,680 --> 00:14:50,520 Speaker 1: Because I wrote it fast, I misspelled intelligent right of course, 279 00:14:50,560 --> 00:14:53,760 Speaker 1: I am okay, So this is what again? This has 280 00:14:53,840 --> 00:14:57,760 Speaker 1: not verified everybody, but it's probably something. And so research 281 00:14:57,800 --> 00:15:01,160 Speaker 1: has explored potential cognitive differences between left and right handers, 282 00:15:01,160 --> 00:15:06,520 Speaker 1: with mixed finding. What some studies suggest so left handers 283 00:15:06,880 --> 00:15:10,760 Speaker 1: greater creativity and divergent thinking. Some studies suggests left handers 284 00:15:10,880 --> 00:15:14,280 Speaker 1: might have an advantage in creativity, problem solving, and thinking 285 00:15:14,320 --> 00:15:16,560 Speaker 1: outside the box. This could be due to greater inter 286 00:15:16,680 --> 00:15:20,200 Speaker 1: hemispheric communication in the brain. I'm like, I'm happy with 287 00:15:20,240 --> 00:15:25,400 Speaker 1: that higher representation in gifted populations. Some researchers found that 288 00:15:25,480 --> 00:15:29,560 Speaker 1: left handers are overrepresented among artists, musicians, and individuals with 289 00:15:29,640 --> 00:15:33,200 Speaker 1: high intellectual achievements. Of course, I'm paying attention to this, 290 00:15:34,040 --> 00:15:36,840 Speaker 1: but it doesn't mean that all left handers are more intelligent. 291 00:15:37,000 --> 00:15:41,040 Speaker 1: Spatial mathematical skills, some studies suggests left handers have a 292 00:15:41,640 --> 00:15:46,360 Speaker 1: slight edge in certain spatial reasoning and mathematical problem solving 293 00:15:46,400 --> 00:15:49,960 Speaker 1: and cognitive flexibility. The last one. Some theories suggest that 294 00:15:50,040 --> 00:15:53,120 Speaker 1: left handers may have better adaptability in thinking due to 295 00:15:53,240 --> 00:15:58,600 Speaker 1: using both hemispheres of the brain more effectively. So I'm 296 00:15:58,640 --> 00:16:00,720 Speaker 1: just going to pay attention to that because I like 297 00:16:00,800 --> 00:16:04,360 Speaker 1: that science. I'm not going to look any further. I'm 298 00:16:04,360 --> 00:16:09,000 Speaker 1: just going to go that's absolute now, but it is. 299 00:16:09,200 --> 00:16:15,400 Speaker 1: It is interesting when you like Sometimes I go, I've 300 00:16:15,440 --> 00:16:20,440 Speaker 1: been doing stupid experiments on myself since I was a kid, right. 301 00:16:20,640 --> 00:16:22,880 Speaker 1: My first one was basically when I was about ten, 302 00:16:23,000 --> 00:16:24,720 Speaker 1: just trying to hold my breath for as long as 303 00:16:24,720 --> 00:16:26,480 Speaker 1: I could, which is stupid, I know, but I was 304 00:16:26,520 --> 00:16:29,360 Speaker 1: a kid and I had a stop Watch which was amazing, 305 00:16:29,440 --> 00:16:32,080 Speaker 1: so I spent like the next one was trying to 306 00:16:32,120 --> 00:16:34,760 Speaker 1: teach myself to spin a ball a basketball on my finger, 307 00:16:34,800 --> 00:16:37,480 Speaker 1: which I got to the point out where I could 308 00:16:37,480 --> 00:16:39,840 Speaker 1: just do it constantly, and it just to the end 309 00:16:39,880 --> 00:16:42,040 Speaker 1: where it hurt my finger, but I could do it 310 00:16:42,040 --> 00:16:44,400 Speaker 1: for minutes and minutes and minutes without it falling up. Right. 311 00:16:45,040 --> 00:16:48,240 Speaker 1: What I do sometimes is I go this week, because 312 00:16:48,240 --> 00:16:51,480 Speaker 1: I got five whiteboards in my house and I'm always writing, 313 00:16:52,160 --> 00:16:55,000 Speaker 1: I go, this week, I'm only writing with my right hand. 314 00:16:55,680 --> 00:16:57,160 Speaker 2: Oh wow, Okay. 315 00:16:56,920 --> 00:16:59,600 Speaker 1: So I do a whole week of just doing my 316 00:16:59,720 --> 00:17:03,200 Speaker 1: right hand, and by the end of the week, my 317 00:17:03,280 --> 00:17:06,919 Speaker 1: writing is probably sixty seventy percent better than it was 318 00:17:07,040 --> 00:17:10,760 Speaker 1: seven days ago. And yeah, just things like that where 319 00:17:10,800 --> 00:17:13,720 Speaker 1: I think, you know, you can create these little I 320 00:17:13,760 --> 00:17:16,240 Speaker 1: don't know, these little games for yourself, or these little 321 00:17:16,320 --> 00:17:19,880 Speaker 1: kind of tasks for yourself where you have to do 322 00:17:19,960 --> 00:17:22,919 Speaker 1: something that you always do but do it in a 323 00:17:22,960 --> 00:17:27,000 Speaker 1: different way. So you're literally challenging your brain, your nervous system, 324 00:17:27,400 --> 00:17:29,600 Speaker 1: and a whole bunch of things. Because me writing with 325 00:17:29,680 --> 00:17:31,760 Speaker 1: my right hand is completely unnatural. 326 00:17:32,560 --> 00:17:36,560 Speaker 3: Do you find that the thoughts flow as freely when 327 00:17:36,600 --> 00:17:40,159 Speaker 3: you're writing? Because I found that even standing at my 328 00:17:40,200 --> 00:17:43,359 Speaker 3: standing desk versus sitting, like when I was writing books, 329 00:17:43,359 --> 00:17:44,600 Speaker 3: I really need to concentrate. 330 00:17:44,680 --> 00:17:48,720 Speaker 2: I sit. It's an interesting sort of observation for me. 331 00:17:49,640 --> 00:17:54,320 Speaker 3: I imagine, you know, other people have probably had similar experiences, 332 00:17:54,359 --> 00:17:57,080 Speaker 3: but just it's like my body and brain know this 333 00:17:57,160 --> 00:18:00,280 Speaker 3: is the posture, this is kind of the position for 334 00:18:00,359 --> 00:18:04,360 Speaker 3: this kind of output. Did you find that it flowed 335 00:18:04,480 --> 00:18:06,000 Speaker 3: just as freely or did you have a thought and 336 00:18:06,040 --> 00:18:08,560 Speaker 3: then thought I'd better write it down and then I 337 00:18:08,600 --> 00:18:09,960 Speaker 3: suppose that's what happens, isn't it. 338 00:18:10,000 --> 00:18:12,399 Speaker 1: I'm only talking about the whiteboard. I mean, unless I 339 00:18:12,440 --> 00:18:14,720 Speaker 1: was writing a whiteboard that I was going to post 340 00:18:14,960 --> 00:18:18,359 Speaker 1: to socials, that's different. But I often have a thought 341 00:18:19,000 --> 00:18:21,680 Speaker 1: like I have an eight foot long, four foot high 342 00:18:21,760 --> 00:18:24,720 Speaker 1: whiteboard in my bedroom, and I get out of bed 343 00:18:26,160 --> 00:18:29,119 Speaker 1: probably every second night to write something on that whiteboard 344 00:18:29,160 --> 00:18:30,600 Speaker 1: because I have an idea. 345 00:18:30,359 --> 00:18:33,200 Speaker 2: Right yeah, yeah, but yeah. 346 00:18:33,080 --> 00:18:38,160 Speaker 1: No, it's did I just say, yeah, no, it doesn't 347 00:18:38,160 --> 00:18:44,600 Speaker 1: really inhibit my flow, my creativity or my thinking. But 348 00:18:45,440 --> 00:18:50,240 Speaker 1: obviously I write way worse and way less efficiently. But 349 00:18:50,560 --> 00:18:52,879 Speaker 1: what I have done is which I've told Tiff, and 350 00:18:52,880 --> 00:18:57,120 Speaker 1: I've told the listeners, but not you. In the last 351 00:18:57,560 --> 00:18:59,040 Speaker 1: I don't know if I told you this, Joe, but 352 00:18:59,080 --> 00:19:02,600 Speaker 1: about I don't know two months, my phone basically said, 353 00:19:02,640 --> 00:19:05,240 Speaker 1: you're a fat fuck. You need to work walk more, right, 354 00:19:05,600 --> 00:19:08,080 Speaker 1: So I started. I went, all right, I've got to 355 00:19:08,119 --> 00:19:10,320 Speaker 1: do rock bottom ten thousand steps a day, and I've 356 00:19:10,359 --> 00:19:12,760 Speaker 1: done every day. The least I've done is like ten 357 00:19:12,800 --> 00:19:15,360 Speaker 1: and a half thousand since i got that message. Right, 358 00:19:17,760 --> 00:19:20,520 Speaker 1: But what that means now is I've had to find 359 00:19:20,560 --> 00:19:24,720 Speaker 1: more time. And like I like to do fifteen thousand 360 00:19:24,720 --> 00:19:26,560 Speaker 1: a day, I don't always, but on a bad day 361 00:19:26,560 --> 00:19:30,639 Speaker 1: I'm doing ten. Right, So but it means that I've 362 00:19:30,960 --> 00:19:34,320 Speaker 1: begun to do meetings while I'm walking, and even some 363 00:19:35,119 --> 00:19:37,600 Speaker 1: video calls. Obviously you've got to be careful where and 364 00:19:37,640 --> 00:19:39,680 Speaker 1: how you do that. But if I'm just walking around 365 00:19:39,680 --> 00:19:41,680 Speaker 1: the backstreets and I'm not walking on the road, and 366 00:19:43,080 --> 00:19:46,400 Speaker 1: I'm not always staring at my phone, but I've started 367 00:19:46,440 --> 00:19:53,040 Speaker 1: to do walks and talks and I actually think when 368 00:19:53,080 --> 00:19:56,480 Speaker 1: I'm walking and I'm obviously i'm not sprinting, but I'm out. 369 00:19:56,640 --> 00:19:59,960 Speaker 1: I've got a few trees around me, the birds are singing, 370 00:20:00,040 --> 00:20:03,080 Speaker 1: the be's are buzzing, the sun is shining. My brain 371 00:20:03,240 --> 00:20:05,840 Speaker 1: maybe works better than where I'm at right now sitting 372 00:20:05,880 --> 00:20:08,640 Speaker 1: at a desk in my office. So for me, it's 373 00:20:09,560 --> 00:20:12,119 Speaker 1: it's great because I'm getting in you know, I can 374 00:20:12,160 --> 00:20:14,120 Speaker 1: do a one hour coaching session or a one hour 375 00:20:14,160 --> 00:20:17,800 Speaker 1: meeting or a one hour whatever. I before. I've got 376 00:20:17,800 --> 00:20:20,359 Speaker 1: a gig in a few weeks in Queensland, and I 377 00:20:20,400 --> 00:20:26,840 Speaker 1: had a meeting with some blokes, and so the blokes 378 00:20:26,840 --> 00:20:28,600 Speaker 1: who might be listening, not the one you think. I 379 00:20:28,600 --> 00:20:30,920 Speaker 1: had two meetings today. One I did on zoom here, 380 00:20:30,920 --> 00:20:34,960 Speaker 1: but another one I did actually walking and talking. And 381 00:20:35,040 --> 00:20:37,840 Speaker 1: so I'm having a business meeting and I'm walking around 382 00:20:37,840 --> 00:20:40,800 Speaker 1: suburbia and I'm answering questions and I'm ticking boxes and 383 00:20:40,840 --> 00:20:45,240 Speaker 1: getting stuff done and walking five thousand steps. It's great 384 00:20:45,359 --> 00:20:46,680 Speaker 1: for me. It really works well. 385 00:20:47,359 --> 00:20:49,440 Speaker 3: Are you like when you say you're answering questions and 386 00:20:49,480 --> 00:20:51,919 Speaker 3: you're ticking boxes, are you taking any notes? 387 00:20:53,240 --> 00:20:56,480 Speaker 1: Not? These are not ones that I you know, but 388 00:20:56,640 --> 00:21:00,000 Speaker 1: if I get home and i'll i'll, you know, I'll 389 00:21:00,080 --> 00:21:03,440 Speaker 1: remember the key kind of the key kind of messages 390 00:21:03,480 --> 00:21:06,680 Speaker 1: that I need to get down. But I can. I mean, 391 00:21:06,960 --> 00:21:10,159 Speaker 1: I often will write something in notes in my phone 392 00:21:10,280 --> 00:21:13,320 Speaker 1: as we go, but typically I don't. But I just 393 00:21:13,359 --> 00:21:16,520 Speaker 1: think I mean broadly, speak how old are you now? 394 00:21:16,520 --> 00:21:18,080 Speaker 1: If you don't mind me asker? No, you're not meant 395 00:21:18,119 --> 00:21:18,720 Speaker 1: to ask relate? 396 00:21:19,160 --> 00:21:23,560 Speaker 3: Yeah, no, I don't care. Fifty I'm fifty fifty one 397 00:21:23,560 --> 00:21:24,480 Speaker 3: in April. 398 00:21:24,760 --> 00:21:28,640 Speaker 1: This is so do you think about do you think 399 00:21:28,640 --> 00:21:32,119 Speaker 1: about what am I going to feel like? Function? Like 400 00:21:32,320 --> 00:21:34,520 Speaker 1: at fifty five? How's my brain going to work? How's 401 00:21:34,560 --> 00:21:37,400 Speaker 1: my body going to work? How do you think? Now? 402 00:21:37,520 --> 00:21:41,160 Speaker 1: More intensely about self management from that point. 403 00:21:41,000 --> 00:21:47,040 Speaker 3: Of view, more recently my brain, but always my body. 404 00:21:47,160 --> 00:21:50,600 Speaker 3: I think from about you know, like when I've done 405 00:21:50,880 --> 00:21:54,000 Speaker 3: strength training since I was sort of a teenager, on 406 00:21:54,080 --> 00:21:58,440 Speaker 3: and off, always exercised, but there was a turning point 407 00:21:58,440 --> 00:22:00,359 Speaker 3: where it sort of went more from how I felt 408 00:22:00,359 --> 00:22:02,800 Speaker 3: about like my body image, like how do I look? 409 00:22:03,000 --> 00:22:05,400 Speaker 3: I'm training because I wanted to look different. I wanted 410 00:22:05,400 --> 00:22:08,760 Speaker 3: to look better in veral commerce. How do I want 411 00:22:08,760 --> 00:22:12,280 Speaker 3: to function? And what's and my health? I think particularly 412 00:22:12,280 --> 00:22:16,200 Speaker 3: becoming a parent, And so I've always I think about 413 00:22:16,200 --> 00:22:19,159 Speaker 3: my bone strength, I think about my muscle mass. I 414 00:22:19,160 --> 00:22:22,760 Speaker 3: mean CrossFit that I do. It's so bloody hard, it is, 415 00:22:23,920 --> 00:22:28,080 Speaker 3: honest to goodness. Some days you know what's asked of 416 00:22:28,160 --> 00:22:30,679 Speaker 3: us is really and I just scale it, I just 417 00:22:30,680 --> 00:22:33,880 Speaker 3: scale it to you know, what I can do. That's 418 00:22:33,920 --> 00:22:36,840 Speaker 3: still a big challenge, but everyone has different weights in 419 00:22:36,840 --> 00:22:40,360 Speaker 3: their hands, and and you know, it's easy to sort 420 00:22:40,359 --> 00:22:42,320 Speaker 3: of think, oh, like sometimes like, oh, how do I 421 00:22:42,359 --> 00:22:44,080 Speaker 3: keep showing up for this? But I just try to 422 00:22:44,119 --> 00:22:46,520 Speaker 3: show up because I know that anything I do there 423 00:22:47,320 --> 00:22:49,399 Speaker 3: is going to be a huge benefit for me now 424 00:22:49,760 --> 00:22:53,919 Speaker 3: and obviously in the future. I'm thinking more about my 425 00:22:54,000 --> 00:22:58,560 Speaker 3: bone health in terms of bone density and like boarding 426 00:22:58,560 --> 00:23:05,360 Speaker 3: off osteoporosis, especially because I'm apparently postmenopausal. I had an oblation, 427 00:23:05,480 --> 00:23:08,159 Speaker 3: an indemetrial ablation, which are you for me with what 428 00:23:08,200 --> 00:23:12,760 Speaker 3: that is? So for listeners who don't know, essentially the 429 00:23:12,800 --> 00:23:16,240 Speaker 3: lining of the uterus is layser away and so you 430 00:23:16,320 --> 00:23:19,719 Speaker 3: stop having a period because of that. So I didn't 431 00:23:20,119 --> 00:23:22,800 Speaker 3: have the typical kind of signals of when you're going 432 00:23:22,800 --> 00:23:26,000 Speaker 3: through perimenopause and into menopause where your periods have stopped. 433 00:23:26,560 --> 00:23:28,159 Speaker 3: I didn't have any of that because I've been stopped 434 00:23:28,160 --> 00:23:32,440 Speaker 3: for a long time. So apparently postmenopausal so hormones I'm 435 00:23:32,480 --> 00:23:33,080 Speaker 3: thinking about. 436 00:23:33,800 --> 00:23:35,359 Speaker 2: My mental health is excellent. 437 00:23:35,960 --> 00:23:39,480 Speaker 3: The exercise and the medication I take and the way 438 00:23:39,520 --> 00:23:44,119 Speaker 3: I sort of lived my life but now because my 439 00:23:44,200 --> 00:23:48,919 Speaker 3: mother in law has Alzheimer's, my friend's mum has just 440 00:23:48,960 --> 00:23:53,520 Speaker 3: been put into a home because of her Alzheimer's. I 441 00:23:53,560 --> 00:23:58,000 Speaker 3: think very much about how awful it is for the 442 00:23:58,920 --> 00:23:59,920 Speaker 3: you know, my mother in law. 443 00:24:00,080 --> 00:24:00,600 Speaker 2: I see that. 444 00:24:00,760 --> 00:24:04,280 Speaker 3: I see that all the time, how frustrating is for her, 445 00:24:04,400 --> 00:24:07,359 Speaker 3: and I just think, Oh, I want to do whatever 446 00:24:07,400 --> 00:24:08,720 Speaker 3: I can to make sure that's not me. 447 00:24:09,680 --> 00:24:12,160 Speaker 2: I don't want to end up like that. It's awful. 448 00:24:12,400 --> 00:24:13,080 Speaker 2: It's awful. 449 00:24:13,600 --> 00:24:15,600 Speaker 1: So I'm going to ask you a question that neither 450 00:24:15,680 --> 00:24:18,840 Speaker 1: you or I really qualify to answer. So everyone, don't 451 00:24:18,880 --> 00:24:22,520 Speaker 1: take this as advice or a prescription. This is just 452 00:24:22,560 --> 00:24:25,480 Speaker 1: two people with a bit of knowledge having a conversation 453 00:24:27,520 --> 00:24:32,439 Speaker 1: thinking about optimizing although we both know a bit about this, 454 00:24:32,560 --> 00:24:36,240 Speaker 1: of course, but thinking about optimizing your brain for as 455 00:24:36,240 --> 00:24:41,320 Speaker 1: long as you can if you had to. I don't 456 00:24:41,320 --> 00:24:49,960 Speaker 1: know rank let's say rank exercise, food, sleep, lifestyle. Maybe 457 00:24:50,000 --> 00:24:53,520 Speaker 1: not rank them, but just talk about where do you 458 00:24:53,560 --> 00:24:56,800 Speaker 1: think they all fit, Like, what do you think you know? 459 00:24:56,920 --> 00:25:01,560 Speaker 1: Brain training, specific brain training, how do you value each 460 00:25:01,600 --> 00:25:06,080 Speaker 1: of those as a contributor or factor or variable around 461 00:25:06,200 --> 00:25:12,760 Speaker 1: cognitive function into older age. 462 00:25:13,080 --> 00:25:16,960 Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm glad you took away the question about ranking 463 00:25:17,000 --> 00:25:22,159 Speaker 3: them because it's so hard. Like I, from what I 464 00:25:22,200 --> 00:25:27,520 Speaker 3: do know, exercise and the brain is obviously like extremely powerful, 465 00:25:27,560 --> 00:25:29,920 Speaker 3: not only for our mental health but just for our 466 00:25:30,200 --> 00:25:36,520 Speaker 3: cognitive function and clarity. And also we know that if 467 00:25:36,560 --> 00:25:39,520 Speaker 3: we have chronic stress, that really affects how our brain 468 00:25:39,720 --> 00:25:43,280 Speaker 3: will function. How you know, cognizant we are when we're 469 00:25:43,320 --> 00:25:47,119 Speaker 3: answering questions and responding to challenges and problem solving and 470 00:25:47,160 --> 00:25:50,960 Speaker 3: things like that. So in terms of kind of brain 471 00:25:51,080 --> 00:25:57,639 Speaker 3: health in the long term, you know, I don't know 472 00:25:57,800 --> 00:26:01,080 Speaker 3: enough to really say, but for me, I guess the 473 00:26:01,119 --> 00:26:04,520 Speaker 3: things that I think about to keep my brain healthy 474 00:26:04,560 --> 00:26:06,720 Speaker 3: from a mental health point of view. More so because 475 00:26:06,760 --> 00:26:10,520 Speaker 3: this brain health and longevity idea is very new to 476 00:26:10,560 --> 00:26:12,520 Speaker 3: the way I'm thinking about my lifestyle. 477 00:26:13,320 --> 00:26:16,280 Speaker 2: Sleep is when the brain is washed. 478 00:26:17,840 --> 00:26:21,240 Speaker 3: You know, the brain sort of has this opportunity to 479 00:26:21,320 --> 00:26:23,560 Speaker 3: kind of have this wash cycle when we're sleeping. We 480 00:26:23,720 --> 00:26:27,960 Speaker 3: really need good sleep to think, to help consolidate memories, 481 00:26:28,000 --> 00:26:30,840 Speaker 3: of course, which is important as we get older, and 482 00:26:30,880 --> 00:26:36,920 Speaker 3: to really help protect our mental health and reduce our reactivity. 483 00:26:38,520 --> 00:26:39,160 Speaker 2: And then food. 484 00:26:39,200 --> 00:26:42,280 Speaker 3: Of course, we know that the gut brain access is 485 00:26:42,680 --> 00:26:46,360 Speaker 3: incredibly powerful, and the difference It makes to the way 486 00:26:46,359 --> 00:26:48,679 Speaker 3: that we can think and function, as well as our 487 00:26:48,720 --> 00:26:52,119 Speaker 3: mental health when we eat mostly plants and reduce sugar 488 00:26:52,160 --> 00:26:55,880 Speaker 3: and salt and transfats and the like. It's a really 489 00:26:55,880 --> 00:26:59,360 Speaker 3: interesting question. I'm on the start of this learning journey. 490 00:27:00,000 --> 00:27:00,840 Speaker 3: What about you? 491 00:27:00,880 --> 00:27:04,400 Speaker 2: What do you know about this area? 492 00:27:04,760 --> 00:27:08,720 Speaker 1: It's funny, right, because we know that different people respond 493 00:27:09,640 --> 00:27:12,320 Speaker 1: in different ways to the same stimulus, right, you know, 494 00:27:12,440 --> 00:27:18,440 Speaker 1: or the same stimuli right. But for me, I'm not deluded. 495 00:27:18,480 --> 00:27:20,720 Speaker 1: I don't think oh I'm fucking twenty six. I don't 496 00:27:20,760 --> 00:27:23,240 Speaker 1: think that. And I don't know what sixty one is 497 00:27:23,280 --> 00:27:27,000 Speaker 1: meant to feel like. I guess there's no arbitrary feeling 498 00:27:27,080 --> 00:27:32,040 Speaker 1: that everybody should feel at a certain age.

But beyond that, 669 00:36:58,480 --> 00:37:02,000 Speaker 1: from on a sociological and personal level, human connection is 670 00:37:02,040 --> 00:37:05,279 Speaker 1: so fucking important and right now. Not that we want 671 00:37:05,320 --> 00:37:08,560 Speaker 1: to have all our relationships or connections online, but for 672 00:37:08,600 --> 00:37:11,799 Speaker 1: a lot of people who don't have the opportunity to 673 00:37:11,880 --> 00:37:14,839 Speaker 1: be in front of people all the time, or who 674 00:37:14,920 --> 00:37:18,480 Speaker 1: live in remote locations or who have you know, for 675 00:37:18,520 --> 00:37:22,200 Speaker 1: whatever reason, can't leave the house too much, or you know, 676 00:37:22,360 --> 00:37:26,680 Speaker 1: like it's just it's it's like it is a really 677 00:37:26,680 --> 00:37:30,239 Speaker 1: good time in that in that sense, because you know, 678 00:37:30,280 --> 00:37:32,560 Speaker 1: how much or how little we use social media or 679 00:37:32,560 --> 00:37:35,120 Speaker 1: any of these tools or resources or AI. It's up 680 00:37:35,160 --> 00:37:38,040 Speaker 1: to us. It's not obligatory. If you don't like it. 681 00:37:38,160 --> 00:37:40,560 Speaker 1: You know, if you don't like you know this or 682 00:37:40,560 --> 00:37:43,399 Speaker 1: that podcast, don't listen. If you don't like Instagram, don't 683 00:37:43,440 --> 00:37:45,839 Speaker 1: go on. If you think AI is bullshit, don't use 684 00:37:45,880 --> 00:37:51,480 Speaker 1: it if you know it's not that hard. Yeah, so 685 00:37:52,239 --> 00:37:52,680 Speaker 1: I hear it. 686 00:37:53,640 --> 00:37:56,000 Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm having similar conversations. I'm trying to learn as 687 00:37:56,080 --> 00:38:01,520 Speaker 3: much about AI as I can, and you know, I 688 00:38:01,600 --> 00:38:04,839 Speaker 3: understand it's really frightening. I sort of talked to mum 689 00:38:04,880 --> 00:38:08,840 Speaker 3: about it recently and she was worried, you know, and 690 00:38:09,000 --> 00:38:11,200 Speaker 3: I understand that there is a lot to worry about, 691 00:38:11,200 --> 00:38:13,120 Speaker 3: but also there's so much good that it can do, 692 00:38:13,360 --> 00:38:15,279 Speaker 3: and there's a lot to be. 693 00:38:15,320 --> 00:38:16,280 Speaker 2: Very excited about. 694 00:38:17,239 --> 00:38:20,880 Speaker 3: And so yeah, I'm very lucky I work with I 695 00:38:20,880 --> 00:38:22,799 Speaker 3: don't know if I've ever told you Halps, but for 696 00:38:22,800 --> 00:38:25,240 Speaker 3: about two and a half, maybe coming on three years, 697 00:38:25,320 --> 00:38:28,640 Speaker 3: I consult to a startup. 698 00:38:29,000 --> 00:38:32,640 Speaker 2: I'm on a team, we've got a platform yet. Yeah. 699 00:38:32,719 --> 00:38:35,960 Speaker 3: Anyway, and when you're working with a startup, you're iterating 700 00:38:36,000 --> 00:38:37,960 Speaker 3: all the time. You know, you're going in one direction, 701 00:38:38,120 --> 00:38:40,640 Speaker 3: you're looking at what the market needs, you're changing and 702 00:38:40,760 --> 00:38:45,440 Speaker 3: in the last few years, obviously AI last six months. 703 00:38:45,560 --> 00:38:47,879 Speaker 3: You know, AI is obviously at the forefront of what 704 00:38:47,960 --> 00:38:50,160 Speaker 3: most apps are kind of introducing, and so we've been 705 00:38:50,800 --> 00:38:53,680 Speaker 3: on it from the start, and so that helped, I 706 00:38:53,760 --> 00:38:55,799 Speaker 3: guess to get me kind of started with the way 707 00:38:55,840 --> 00:38:59,080 Speaker 3: I could think about it. But like a lot of things, 708 00:38:59,200 --> 00:39:00,719 Speaker 3: when we don't know a lot about it, we can 709 00:39:00,760 --> 00:39:05,920 Speaker 3: be fearful, and you know that's I think human nature. 710 00:39:06,560 --> 00:39:08,959 Speaker 3: But I'm actually doing a two day kind of course 711 00:39:09,000 --> 00:39:10,960 Speaker 3: in Melbourne in a couple of weeks where I'm kind 712 00:39:10,960 --> 00:39:13,719 Speaker 3: of going to be learning all about how I can 713 00:39:13,920 --> 00:39:15,520 Speaker 3: sort of support me in my business. 714 00:39:15,560 --> 00:39:18,080 Speaker 2: So I'm excited. I'm excited. 715 00:39:18,920 --> 00:39:21,400 Speaker 1: Good for you, that's good. I think doing stuff like 716 00:39:21,440 --> 00:39:25,200 Speaker 1: that is you know, anything can be scary if you 717 00:39:25,280 --> 00:39:27,879 Speaker 1: allow it scare you, and it's it's you know, I think, 718 00:39:29,200 --> 00:39:33,920 Speaker 1: I think as what is real is that things are evolving, 719 00:39:34,480 --> 00:39:37,440 Speaker 1: you know, especially in terms of technology, things are evolving 720 00:39:37,600 --> 00:39:42,520 Speaker 1: like never before. But you know, humans are still humans, 721 00:39:42,520 --> 00:39:45,160 Speaker 1: bodies still bodies. We've still got to manage our mind 722 00:39:45,239 --> 00:39:47,920 Speaker 1: and our brain and our body and our you know, 723 00:39:48,000 --> 00:39:50,400 Speaker 1: our sleep and all those very normal human things. And 724 00:39:51,120 --> 00:39:56,080 Speaker 1: I think what matters about all of these resources is 725 00:39:56,640 --> 00:40:00,239 Speaker 1: how we interact with them, how we use them. You know, 726 00:40:00,320 --> 00:40:03,040 Speaker 1: it's like, yeah, well it can be terrifying or it 727 00:40:03,040 --> 00:40:05,560 Speaker 1: can be fucking amazing. You know, if you had have 728 00:40:05,600 --> 00:40:07,319 Speaker 1: said to me ten years ago, you're going to be 729 00:40:07,320 --> 00:40:09,359 Speaker 1: doing a daily podcast. You're going to be nearly two 730 00:40:09,440 --> 00:40:12,680 Speaker 1: thousand episodes deep, and you're going to have an audience 731 00:40:12,680 --> 00:40:15,120 Speaker 1: around the world. And now I would have gone, what's 732 00:40:15,120 --> 00:40:19,719 Speaker 1: a podcast? I would have gone, you know, you don't know, 733 00:40:20,600 --> 00:40:24,080 Speaker 1: you don't know. And if not for the tech that 734 00:40:24,120 --> 00:40:28,040 Speaker 1: we now have, people wouldn't have access to this and 735 00:40:28,360 --> 00:40:32,080 Speaker 1: all of the other brilliant podcasts like Roll with the 736 00:40:32,120 --> 00:40:35,799 Speaker 1: Punches and like well, Hello Anxiety.
