Expands your brain. It makes, it allows you to enjoy the good times much, much more. Man, that Memorial Day weekend when I came back from Everest, I was the happiest guy on earth, man.

Take it easy. Yeah. It's not like relax. Yeah. Everyone take a chill pill. You know, the other reason I like doing hard stuff is because it, you know, Steven Kotler from, um, His book on flow state speaks on, there's three ways to re-tap into flow state in our brain. You have to do something mindless, you have to do something hard, and you have to do something calm.

And with those three things, you can re-tap into flow state. You have to do all three of them? Flow state only lasts in the brain for 75 minutes, according to studies. 75 minutes, you can be in that state of not understanding time, being in the zone, and just being in your own world. That feeling of, oh my God, what just happened? I just got that shit done that I wanted to get. It's 75 minutes.

You can't have flow state, Gary, for 10 hours in a row. It's not possible. However, the way to maximize it is by doing hard shit, cold punch, by doing something mindless, meditate, doing something calm. Maybe it's a sauna. And so that's why, like at Sweet Honey, that's what I do every 75 minutes. And that's why I encourage members and people.

Every 75 minutes. Dude, that's so cool. I never thought about that. Yeah. And so then I get to reset and I re-tap into flow state. And so if I'm taking calls or meetings from say 1030 to three, I'm doing it multiple times in between and by my three, four o'clock call or meeting, guess what? I'm at a hundred percent, baby. I'm good to go.
