And 34 00:02:08,919 --> 00:02:11,679 Speaker 1: I know, having had a lot of conversations with many 35 00:02:11,720 --> 00:02:13,880 Speaker 1: of you about this topic, that many of you have 36 00:02:14,000 --> 00:02:20,320 Speaker 1: certainly been feeling the same way lately. So lingering in 37 00:02:20,400 --> 00:02:22,440 Speaker 1: this feeling was not something that I was really willing 38 00:02:22,560 --> 00:02:26,200 Speaker 1: to do. And in an effort to break out of this, 39 00:02:26,600 --> 00:02:30,280 Speaker 1: I decided on Wednesday that I would do something different, 40 00:02:30,680 --> 00:02:33,600 Speaker 1: and so I decided to ride my bike with a 41 00:02:33,639 --> 00:02:37,160 Speaker 1: friend across the GW Bridge, starting early in the morning 42 00:02:37,200 --> 00:02:41,360 Speaker 1: at six point thirty and heading up to a donut 43 00:02:41,360 --> 00:02:44,760 Speaker 1: shop that we love in Nyac and coming back. And 44 00:02:45,200 --> 00:02:47,560 Speaker 1: I think the thing that I love about these bike 45 00:02:47,639 --> 00:02:51,639 Speaker 1: rides is honestly just this opportunity to not worry about 46 00:02:52,200 --> 00:02:56,080 Speaker 1: a lot of things. You know, when I'm out with 47 00:02:56,240 --> 00:02:58,960 Speaker 1: friends and they are leading the way, I don't have 48 00:02:59,000 --> 00:03:01,360 Speaker 1: to make a ton of disc visions. I literally only 49 00:03:01,400 --> 00:03:04,280 Speaker 1: need to be paying attention to what's going on right 50 00:03:04,280 --> 00:03:05,960 Speaker 1: in front of me. I have to look for potholes, 51 00:03:06,240 --> 00:03:08,639 Speaker 1: and I have to work my way to climb up hills, 52 00:03:09,000 --> 00:03:11,800 Speaker 1: and that is like the extent of the effort, which, 53 00:03:11,840 --> 00:03:15,000 Speaker 1: of course, yes, is effort, but for me, it feels 54 00:03:15,080 --> 00:03:17,920 Speaker 1: like a different, more welcome type of effort than it 55 00:03:18,000 --> 00:03:20,280 Speaker 1: feels to sit at my desk and feel as though 56 00:03:20,320 --> 00:03:23,679 Speaker 1: I'm just stuck, if that makes sense. And when I'm 57 00:03:23,720 --> 00:03:26,400 Speaker 1: on the bike, my phone is not in front of me. 58 00:03:26,480 --> 00:03:29,440 Speaker 1: It's actually tucked in my back pocket. It's hard for 59 00:03:29,480 --> 00:03:31,920 Speaker 1: me to reach, which also means that there's no alerts, 60 00:03:32,200 --> 00:03:36,920 Speaker 1: there's no emails, there's no texts, there's no dms, there's 61 00:03:36,960 --> 00:03:39,880 Speaker 1: no there's there's a lack of a lot in which 62 00:03:39,880 --> 00:03:44,040 Speaker 1: I deal with normally through the day, and so on 63 00:03:44,080 --> 00:03:47,920 Speaker 1: this ride, I can just have my time. I can 64 00:03:48,000 --> 00:03:53,960 Speaker 1: reclaim my time, my sanity. You know, there's no judgment 65 00:03:54,080 --> 00:03:57,480 Speaker 1: it's just getting from point A to point B, and 66 00:03:57,560 --> 00:03:59,800 Speaker 1: at point B again there's doughnuts and then back to 67 00:04:00,880 --> 00:04:04,320 Speaker 1: and that's it. Actually this week, I'm I don't feel 68 00:04:04,320 --> 00:04:05,800 Speaker 1: any kind of way about admitting this. 69 00:04:06,080 --> 00:04:07,720 Speaker 2: I did this on the way back. 70 00:04:07,800 --> 00:04:11,160 Speaker 1: Apparently at McDonald's released spicy chicken nuggets this week, and 71 00:04:11,200 --> 00:04:13,520 Speaker 1: we enjoyed them on the right back after eating a donut. 72 00:04:13,560 --> 00:04:16,160 Speaker 1: And you know what, I had zero remorse about this, 73 00:04:16,320 --> 00:04:18,520 Speaker 1: And that's because, man, it all just. 74 00:04:18,520 --> 00:04:19,760 Speaker 2: Felt so good. 75 00:04:20,320 --> 00:04:22,479 Speaker 1: And you know, when I got back home and I 76 00:04:22,560 --> 00:04:28,120 Speaker 1: showered and I changed, I felt this huge weight lifted 77 00:04:28,160 --> 00:04:32,160 Speaker 1: off my shoulders, this huge exhale. I felt more capable 78 00:04:32,279 --> 00:04:37,080 Speaker 1: and less angry and more confident, and just like me, 79 00:04:38,320 --> 00:04:41,120 Speaker 1: you know, I used to get really frustrated about the 80 00:04:41,160 --> 00:04:43,560 Speaker 1: situation that was happening earlier this week, and I'd get 81 00:04:43,560 --> 00:04:46,360 Speaker 1: worked up in that. And what I've come to realize 82 00:04:46,400 --> 00:04:48,520 Speaker 1: is getting worked up in that it didn't do me 83 00:04:48,680 --> 00:04:51,640 Speaker 1: any good. When I came to understand that there were 84 00:04:51,720 --> 00:04:54,960 Speaker 1: other things that I could do, other things in my 85 00:04:55,000 --> 00:04:57,920 Speaker 1: life that I could control, I was able to let 86 00:04:57,920 --> 00:05:00,320 Speaker 1: go of this notion that I might not be able 87 00:05:00,360 --> 00:05:03,880 Speaker 1: to immediately get rid of this lingering brain fog. 88 00:05:03,960 --> 00:05:05,200 Speaker 2: But I did not have. 89 00:05:05,080 --> 00:05:09,960 Speaker 1: To linger in the malaise of this frustration. These days, 90 00:05:10,480 --> 00:05:13,960 Speaker 1: instead of doing that lingering, I ask myself what is 91 00:05:14,120 --> 00:05:18,640 Speaker 1: possible at this very moment. Now, of course, this concept 92 00:05:18,680 --> 00:05:22,280 Speaker 1: can definitely apply beyond this particular situation. 93 00:05:23,279 --> 00:05:25,159 Speaker 2: We all have the chance to think big. 94 00:05:25,279 --> 00:05:28,240 Speaker 1: Right, So whatever you might be struggling with at this 95 00:05:28,360 --> 00:05:33,799 Speaker 1: particular moment, remember that this thing, it's just one part 96 00:05:33,880 --> 00:05:40,520 Speaker 1: of your life. You can't forget the rest. Refocus, take 97 00:05:40,560 --> 00:05:45,080 Speaker 1: any breath, and keep pushing. Prompt for this week, what 98 00:05:45,320 --> 00:05:48,760 Speaker 1: are the important components in your life that you love? 99 00:05:49,480 --> 00:05:54,400 Speaker 1: Get really really specific? Again, what are the important components 100 00:05:54,520 --> 00:05:56,400 Speaker 1: in your life that you love? 101 00:05:57,040 --> 00:05:59,080 Speaker 2: Get really really specific?

First up, eat Cary Foods Dips. I've 105 00:06:08,480 --> 00:06:10,760 Speaker 1: talked about Cari on the pod before. A good friend 106 00:06:10,760 --> 00:06:13,080 Speaker 1: of mine and her sister they launched Carey Foods at 107 00:06:13,080 --> 00:06:17,359 Speaker 1: the end of last year. They are a plant based salad, dressing, marinade, 108 00:06:17,360 --> 00:06:21,039 Speaker 1: and sauce company and they are vegan, gluten free, soy 109 00:06:21,080 --> 00:06:26,200 Speaker 1: free paleo and have zero preservatives, gums or additives. Basically, 110 00:06:26,440 --> 00:06:29,920 Speaker 1: it's really hard to find stuff this good that tastes 111 00:06:30,320 --> 00:06:35,200 Speaker 1: so delicious. They recently dropped dips and oh my god, 112 00:06:35,200 --> 00:06:37,240 Speaker 1: they're so good, You've got to try it. They've got 113 00:06:37,279 --> 00:06:43,240 Speaker 1: spicy ramasco and lemon zatziki and it has completely revolutionized 114 00:06:43,480 --> 00:06:48,039 Speaker 1: my snacking game. Next up, listen the Tim Ferris show, 115 00:06:48,320 --> 00:06:52,160 Speaker 1: Guy Raz Traits of Successful Entrepreneurs, the Story of How 116 00:06:52,200 --> 00:06:55,800 Speaker 1: I Built This, Overcoming anxiety and depression, and more. This 117 00:06:55,920 --> 00:06:59,880 Speaker 1: episode shook me, and I think it's because I first 118 00:07:00,000 --> 00:07:03,240 Speaker 1: already listening to podcasts about three years ago, right before 119 00:07:03,640 --> 00:07:06,400 Speaker 1: I launched Hurdle, and How I Built This was the 120 00:07:06,400 --> 00:07:09,800 Speaker 1: first podcast that I got really into, and I had 121 00:07:09,880 --> 00:07:15,720 Speaker 1: no clue about Guy suffering from depression. I've never listened 122 00:07:15,720 --> 00:07:18,760 Speaker 1: to an interview with him before. It sheds a lot 123 00:07:18,800 --> 00:07:21,160 Speaker 1: of light on a lot of the conversations that I've 124 00:07:21,200 --> 00:07:24,320 Speaker 1: listened to from him in the past. You never know 125 00:07:24,360 --> 00:07:27,120 Speaker 1: what somebody's struggling with unless you ask them. Obviously, we 126 00:07:27,120 --> 00:07:28,880 Speaker 1: don't have the opportunity to ask a lot of the 127 00:07:28,920 --> 00:07:32,160 Speaker 1: people we admire a lot of hard hitting questions. So 128 00:07:32,400 --> 00:07:34,360 Speaker 1: I just felt like this conversation that he had with 129 00:07:34,400 --> 00:07:37,880 Speaker 1: Tim Ferriss was really special, super interesting to hear more 130 00:07:38,000 --> 00:07:41,400 Speaker 1: about him being a journalist, about how they do things, 131 00:07:41,400 --> 00:07:43,480 Speaker 1: on how I built this and I just love to 132 00:07:43,520 --> 00:07:45,760 Speaker 1: hear about his story. And you certainly don't need to 133 00:07:45,760 --> 00:07:49,920 Speaker 1: be a podcaster or a journalist to appreciate this interview. 134 00:07:50,440 --> 00:07:54,520 Speaker 1: Next watch certified young Person Paul Rudd wants you to 135 00:07:54,560 --> 00:07:59,320 Speaker 1: wear a mask. God, I just love this. I know 136 00:07:59,400 --> 00:08:02,080 Speaker 1: that people are making this whole mask thing like political, 137 00:08:02,240 --> 00:08:04,840 Speaker 1: but if you just want a good laugh, you've got 138 00:08:04,840 --> 00:08:08,440 Speaker 1: to check out this video. Rudd just he knows how 139 00:08:08,480 --> 00:08:10,920 Speaker 1: to hit it, and it's so funny to me, especially 140 00:08:10,920 --> 00:08:13,840 Speaker 1: because Paul Rudd literally looks like he hasn't aged a 141 00:08:14,120 --> 00:08:17,640 Speaker 1: day since Clueless And I'm really not entirely sure how 142 00:08:17,720 --> 00:08:22,840 Speaker 1: that is possible. If you want to ball out, you 143 00:08:22,840 --> 00:08:26,040 Speaker 1: can book the original Fresh Prince House for an overnight's day. 144 00:08:26,120 --> 00:08:30,080 Speaker 1: I'm so serious.
