In this episode, Scott Becker shares a humorous take and the results of a Twitter poll on post-conference carb cravings.
Chapter 1: What is the 'All I Want is Carbs' episode about?
This is the Becker Private Equity in Business podcast. Today's discussion is, all I want is carbs. And the discussion really stems out of this. We had one of our conferences, one of our largest of the year the last several days. It's still going on, quite frankly. 4,600 people at the Becker's Healthcare Annual Conference. And when I think about these conferences...
Chapter 2: How does conference attendance affect carb cravings?
Chapter 3: What foods does Scott crave after conference days?
The first day, my physical willpower and how I act is pretty good. By the second and third day, I've had so much coffee that literally all I want is to gorge on carbs for a day or so, meaning nothing. donuts, sugar, cookie, ice cream, pizza, whatever it might be, I just want to gorge on carbs.
Chapter 4: What did Scott's Twitter poll reveal about post-conference eating habits?
Chapter 5: Why can't Scott gorge on carbs during the conference?
And so one of the things I did was, as I ought to do now, I did a Twitter poll on after a few days of a conference, can you let yourself go and just gorge for a day or so? And I can't do it during a conference because then I end up sort of almost comatose and flat and horrendous. I can't do it during the conference. So I asked people, here are the three responses. Yes, go all in.
That's one response. Second poll question is no, hold the line. And third is only if you could rebound. Now, the beautiful thing about the Twitter audience, Twitter audience some days can be very harsh and non-redeeming. There's people that are always on there saying, you're not doing enough of this, you're not doing enough of that, and just very, very critical.
Here, the Twitter audience, I found to be much more forgiving. 46%, it was 47%. Now it's 46% said, yes, go all in. Another 27%, which are probably like the teacher you had at your Catholic school that beat you with the ruler or the fitness coach who was very tough on you. You know, my personal trainer says I have to lose weight. not nice people generally. These people say, hold the line.
27% say, hold the line. And it's like, hold the line. Like I'm the Green Bay Packer offensive line from the 70s. Hold the line. And the third one, the third group, which is not the call-in one, not the forgiving, nice group, but the group that says, yes, you could court on carbs for a day or two, as long as you could rebound from it and don't double down on the rebound.
And I think that's another answer. So here's the poll studies on carbs. Can I go all in on carbs for a day or two after a conference? 46% go all in. 27% hold the line. The third one is only if you could rebound. Thank you so much for listening to the Becker Private Equity and Business Podcast. Thank you very, very much.
