I am the most creative and the most able to do good work in the world when I have something in my life that I can do every day or almost every day that just brings me pure joy. It's just play. There's nothing productive about it. It's frivolous. It's just I want to be playing in nature. And that joy that I get from playing in nature in Costa Rica and surfing, it fuels everything else I do.

Because every single day in Costa Rica... unless it's a hurricane or unless the waves are absolutely horrible. I'm out in the ocean at 6 a.m. for two, two and a half hours. No kidding. Yeah, so I'm getting sunlight, I'm grounding, I'm moving my body, and I come out of the ocean and I'm just happy. And I don't always get a great wave.

I've only been surfing six, seven years, so I'm still a pretty mediocre surfer. But I'm just full of joy. And that allows me to do everything else. And it makes all the other stuff that I do in the day easier because I'm just happy.

I've connected with him. I had him on my podcast. I've never met him in person, but I know a bunch of his friends in Malibu. Yeah, hopefully I'll get to hang out with him soon.

He's awesome.

Absolutely. We both think about food, and I'm the same as that. I think about food as the center of human health, one of the biggest metrics, one of the biggest levers we can pull, and Laird is the same way, and it's served him well. What is he, in his 60s?

Still surfing big waves? Yeah. That's longevity.
