We (Drew and James) have been close friends and collaborators for over half a decade. After years of private conversations that spanned topics including fitness and physical performance, the science of wellness and longevity, career success and development, mental models for better decision making, and more, we finally decided to record these conversations for a wider audience. This podcast is our attempt to play a positive sum game with an audience of fellow life long learners, ambitious individuals, and those driven to not only succeed, but gain fulfillment, satisfaction, and a bit of wisdom
