The following is a conversation with Daniel Negrano, one of the greatest poker players of all time. And now a quick few second mention of each sponsor. Check them out in the description. It's the best way to support this podcast. We've got Backbone for gaming on the go, Audible for audiobooks, Shopify for e-commerce, Insight Tracker for bio monitoring, and Fundrise for real estate investing. Choose wisely, my friends. And now onto the full ad reads. As always, no ads in the middle. I try to make these interesting, but if you skip them, please still check out our sponsors. I enjoy their stuff. Maybe you will too. This show is brought to you by Backbone, controllers for the ultimate gaming experience on your phone.
I actually recently took a very long flight, several long flights, and Backbone was the backbone of my happiness on those flights. I do two things when I'm flying. Either I'm ultra productive in a laptop, if I have a very kind of laptop specific task. Also, because I'm an addict of the Kinesis keyboard, which for you folks who don't know what that is, that's an ergonomic keyboard that looks like something that would fit your butt versus something you would type on. So if it's something that requires a lot of typing, I'm not going to do it. And sometimes you just have to take a break. So my favorite way to do that, obviously, is with Backbone on the phone. It really pulls you in. The haptic experience of it, it's just, I love everything about it.
Go to playbackbone.com to order your controller, and for a limited time, you can get free access to over 350 console games and perks. This episode is also brought to you by Audible, an audiobook service that has given me hundreds if not thousands of hours of education through listening to audiobooks. I say that every time, hundreds if not thousands, and that is the laziest thing ever because I should be able to calculate that. So I listen to Audible almost always when I run, right, at least for an hour. I often run five to seven times a week, 200 times a year, and I'd say it's 300 hours a of listening to audiobooks just on the run a year. And I listen to it in all other kinds of situations. So let's say 500 hours a year, and I've been using Audible for many years.
I'm with several thousand folks. This is kind of amazing. Anyway, I usually listen to nonfiction. I do listen to quite a bit of fiction. It's just lately I've been very much about... sort of World War II, World War I, and intermediate, the Great Depression, that kind of stuff, history, history stuff. Anyway, new members can try it for free for 30 days at audible.com slash Lex or text Lex to 500-500. This show is also brought to you by Shopify, a platform designed for anyone to sell anywhere, anything. A great looking online store that brings your ideas to life and tools to manage day to day operation. A lot of people have been asking me for merch. I think merch is a cool way to celebrate a community.
I'm a part of many, many communities, many podcast communities. I'm a huge fan of podcasts. It just feels good to wear a cool shirt. Anyway, it's not just about merch for podcasts. It's basically anything. They have 1.7 million entrepreneurs. You can sell stuff. You can make a living on it. It's integrated with everything and anywhere possible. Thousands of integrations and third-party apps. I mean, this is the place. If you want to sell stuff, this is the place to go. In terms of merch, I have to figure out what kind of stuff to sell. Anyway, get a free trial and full access to Shopify's entire suite of features when you sign up at shopify.com slash lex. That's all lowercase. Shopify.com slash lex. This show is also brought to you by InsideTracker, a service I use to track biological data.
They have a bunch of plans that have blood tests that collect all kinds of information that machine learning is then able to use to make all kinds of recommendations for your lifestyle. Diet changes, all that kind of stuff. I was actually at ADCC recently and had a bunch of conversations about this.
