The thing about everything I just named, chronic fatigue, insomnia, brain fog, they are so common now. that we essentially have accepted them as normal, but they're so, so, so abnormal. And so I was walking around in this incredibly compromised state. Now, subsequently, I started to do some testing and I realized that I was pre-diabetic, borderline diabetic.

And then I did some microbiome testing and my gut was as like leaky as a rusty old pipe, basically. So I was dealing with all of those things, but that just basically makes me average.

Yeah, so I'm a serial entrepreneur, not in the serial sense in that I can't stop making businesses. And so prior to Commune, which is my main gig these days, I was running a festival called Wanderlust. Some of your guests might be familiar with it. It started with just like one little festival in Lake Tahoe, California. geared around wellness, ironically.

I was pretty focused on growing that for a number of years. And I think by 2016, that concern had grown to about 68 festivals annually in 20 countries. So you can imagine what my life looked like. First of all, I have three daughters, so we were traveling like a band of gypsies, basically. But I was on a plane nonstop. I was in every time zone you can imagine.

I couldn't even cover the amount of events that we had, candidly.

so i was sleeping very very poorly um you know i was constantly stressed i very very naively raised a lot of private equity money um which i thought was a great idea in the moment and then of course you know i was under the thumb of you know some cigar smoking plutograts in midtown you know looking down at me scrutinizing all my moves

And that was a lot of stress, bad stress, chronic stress, endless emails, endless pressure. And yeah, my diet was basically carbicide, you know, because I was eating in airports and even when I wasn't eating in airports, I was having that bagel for breakfast or that muffin for breakfast. Obviously, over time, doing that for many, many years, I just wore down.

The issue here with a lot of these chronic diseases, as you well know, is that they are progressive. You know, they don't just come on like the Texas chainsaw murder or whatever. They're slow. low and, you know, they unwind like a little film noir, you know, so this is what was happening in my body.
