I also want to talk about our friends at Element.

Long-time listeners know that I'm a big caffeine guy.

It's my drug of choice to kickstart my deep thinking in the morning.

The problem is that I often end up by mid-morning dehydrated.

So my fatigue from being low on fluids and electrolytes is fighting against the energy boost of the caffeine.

What I need is a way to mix hydration with the caffeine, which is why I'm excited by the newest product from Element, their lemonade iced tea.

Now, if you don't know Element, you should.

It's a drink mix that contains sodium, potassium, and magnesium at levels shown to support optimal hydration and without the sugar or other dodger chemicals that you find in other athletic drinks.

I drink Element essentially every morning as well as after hard workouts or long recording sessions.

Now, their new lemonade iced tea adds a natural source of caffeine, right?

It comes from black tea extract to their classic hydrating drink mix formula.

This provides a smooth energy boost plus hydration at the same time.

It is the perfect way, especially on these hot DC summer type days.

to start your day, I'm sold.

Now, here's the good news.

You can get a free eight-count sample pack of Element's most popular drink flavors with any purchase at drinkelement.com slash deep.

All right, let's get back to the show.

Well, I want to wrap up the interview where you opened the book because I think it's such a good adjustment.
