Episode 177: Pat Flynn on Strategies for Better Fitness and a Better Life

Life is busy. Sometimes it's hard to find time to think about personal or career enrichment. I brought Pat Flynn today (who you'll remember from Episode 152: Making Truth Your Target) to discuss these topics, and of course some great fitness and diet info too! Pat is a philosopher, author, and generalist among other things who through hard work, experimentation, and mentorship has carved out a path as a successful coach and entrepreneur. Check out his website and Instagram! Timestamps: 2:02 Pat’s backstory and how he got into fitness after winning a "man boob contest." 9:28 Information vs. knowledge (we live in an age of information overload!) 14:58 First principles when it comes to diet. 21:08 Generalism vs. specialization and Warren Buffett’s 5/25 rule. 34:25 Is college worth it? And- “you can’t escape doing philosophy, you can only escape doing it well.” 45:16 The importance of reading and strategies for better reading comprehension. 51:25 Is “do what you’re passionate about” good advice? Do you create passion or is it innate?
