Yeah, and then at dark, all the blue lights... I don't even use blue lights in my house because I have a bunch of windows. Everything is open air in my house. All the windows are open during the day. I'm trying to get grounding and sunlight during the day. And then at night, I use just red lights because I'm really protective of my circadian rhythm.
And I try to be off my phone for a few hours before I go to sleep. Maybe... Maybe meditate, maybe creative work, reading a book, like a real book or a non-flickering device like a Kindle or a daylight tablet or something, or listening to an audio book or a podcast. And then I'm usually going to sleep at like 8.30 legitimately. Wow.
Very rarely. I was telling you that my Airbnb, they're hit and miss, right? Airbnbs. And so I went to grill this morning. I think that... You talked about time earlier, and I really feel like the return on investment for me of preparing my food is worth it. So I brought you some meat sticks.
I'm traveling with some meat sticks from Lineage, this company that I built that I value, but I also want to bring my own food. So I made squash in the oven last night, and you had some squash. I have a glass container with meat and squash. 99% of the time that meat in that container is cooked on a grill.
So it was just this random thing that happened this morning where I opened the grill at the Airbnb and I thought, that is disgusting. I can't find a grill brush. I'm preparing for your podcast. I don't want to spend the time. I'm just going to eat it raw. So I just put a little salt on it and I'm just eating.
I mean, you're incredibly successful, and what you've built brings value to so many people, so who could criticize it? My wife. Yeah.
Do you get enough time with your kids?
No, I don't. I grew up with a dad who I didn't see much. He was an internal medicine doc, and so I think I learned or I decided early on in my life that I didn't want to repeat that. And when I have children— I want to spend as much time as I can with them, so I've just kind of built my life in a way to do that. Now, my life hasn't always been like this. I think that founding two companies helps.
Right now, most of my work is podcasting, research, writing a book, and working with my team. But, you know, I have the resources to have a social media team now, which helps me. I don't have to be the one posting on Instagram. I don't have to be the one editing videos. It just creates a lot of efficiency for me and that stuff. But, yeah, I value my free time personally.
It's just kind of something that I do. And yeah, I really love to surf and spend that time outdoors and the other time. And I mean, but for years and years, right? I was in, first I went to PA school. So I was a physician assistant before I went to medical school. I worked in cardiology for four years as a PA.
So I had two years of master's, a PA, two years of a master's degree to become a physician assistant, then four years in cardiology. Before that in college, I worked my tail off, man, you know, Like I was so insecure in college about my intelligence that I just studied all the time. I basically ate junk food in college that I ate, worked out and studied.
And then in medical school, I studied really hard. In residency, I worked really hard. And then for the first few years, building my brand and my companies, I was super grinding. But throughout all of it, I've had this kind of persona of my father in the background, never wanting to become my father. So what I'm very careful of is I don't want my work to ever affect my health negatively.
I mean, you guys see it. I really do try to live what I preach, sometimes to a fault. I think that I'm pretty intense about it. And when I'm traveling, I'm bringing all my food. I don't eat in airports. I rarely eat in restaurants unless I know the quality. But that's all worth it to me to spend time doing those things. And I I really keep my own health as like a prize.
And I saw my father's health suffer. My father had his first heart attack when he was in his forties and I'm 47 years old. Wow. So I have a history of early onset heart disease in a primary relative. And I had a coronary artery calcium scan a few years ago, and I have zero.
And a CAC scan is not the most perfect metric of coronary artery calcium, but mine was zero, eating a similar diet to what I eat now. I think I was 43 at the time, and I should repeat that scan now. But it was just preventative, and I wanted to sort of prove things to the community, because at the time, my cholesterol was higher than it is now.
But I saw my father have a heart attack, become obese, sleep apnea, and he was a doctor. He should have known better, but he never really struck that work-life balance well. And so I think it's just become a value of mine and kind of central to me to stay fit and to, like, prioritize time to play and relax as much as I can. And it doesn't always work out like that.
Sometimes when I'm traveling, you know, I'm kind of—I'm really— You're wrapped up in it? I'm working a lot when I'm traveling, if I'm making content with my team when I'm traveling and studying and researching. But I do try to prioritize my sleep and keep the circadian rhythm good because I know how much this affects everything else in my body.
So it's just a big value for me is to stay healthy in what I'm doing and not push too hard because I think you can easily, I could easily go over the edge there too.
No.
No nothing? Nothing. I've really only drunk five, six times in my life. I've only been drunk four or five times in my whole life. I never really enjoyed it. Had a major hangover after. I've probably consumed alcohol ten times in my whole life. It just doesn't do much for me.
