#407 โ€“ Guillaume Verdon: Beff Jezos, E/acc Movement, Physics, Computation & AGI

So you're on a keto diet? I've done keto before for football and whatnot. But I like to... have a meal after sort of part of my day is done. And so I can just have extreme focus. You do the social interactions earlier in the day. Right. Without food. Front load them. Yeah. Yeah. Like right now I'm on ketones and Red Bull. Yeah. And it just gives you a clarity of thought that is really next level.

Because then when you eat, you're actually allocating some of your energy that could be going to nutrition. neural energy to your digestion. After I eat, maybe I take a break an hour or so, an hour and a half, and then usually it's like ideally one meal a day like steak and eggs and vegetables, animal-based primarily, so fruit and meat. And then I do a second wind usually, that's deep work. And

Because I am a CEO, but I'm still technical. I'm contributing to most patents. And there, I'll just stay up late into the night and work with engineers on very technical problems.

Yeah. Yeah, that's the perfect time. The emails, the things that are on fire stop trickling in. You can focus, and then you have your second wind. And, you know, I think Demis Hassabis has a similar workday to some extent. So I think that that's definitely inspired my workday.

But yeah, I started this workday when I was at Google and had to manage a bit of the product during the day and have meetings and then do technical work at night. Exercise, sleep, those kinds of things.

Yeah, I used to play American football. I've done all sorts of sports growing up. And then I was into powerlifting for a while. So when I was studying mathematics in grad school, I would just do math and lift, take caffeine. And that was my day. It was very pure, the purest of monk modes.

Um, but it's really interesting how in powerlifting you're trying to cause neural adaptation by having certain driving signals and you're trying to engineer neuroplasticity through all sorts of supplements. Um, and you know, you have all sorts of, you know, brain derived neurotrophic factors that get secreted when you, when you lift.
