đȘ What my quarantine workouts look like -Â
- Having worked out in gyms for the last 20 years, transitioning to home workouts has been a change. But doing just a handful of exercises is often all you need â here are the ones I've been doing.
- The equipment used:
- 15 and 30 lb dumbbells
- Pull-up bar
- X3 System
- I think discount code "giveme50" still works for $50 off

đ What 60% of Americans have -Â
- Tina Teicholz has done tremendous work to reform what "healthy eating" means. She was recently published in the Wall Street Journal with an excellent article on "A Low-Carb Strategy for Fighting the Pandemic's Toll," and argues that the federal government's official dietary guidelines (being updated this month) are responsible for the 60% of Americans having at least 1 chronic disease (obesity, diabetes, heart disease) that render us more vulnerable (3X) to Covid-19.
- If I could add one thing to this article that focuses on carbs, it would be a word of caution about vegetable oils as well (which I'll be discussing in the coming weeks).

 đ What facts make us plug our ears -Â
âSeveral studies suggest that individuals widely prefer to remain ignorant about information that would benefit them when itâs painful"

đ What our next offices might look like -
- I love working from home (most of the time). And I think it's likely that in the future more and more people will be spending more working time remote. However, most homes are built to live in, not work in. The fact that my living room is my "command center," would be unacceptable for most people / families. But "backyard offices" might help solve this problem.

đ§ What quote I've been thinking about -
Â
"Service to others is the rent you pay for your room here on Earth."

đČ What a billionaire thinks about money -Â
- I saw a video snippet of Chamath Palihapitiya describing how 150 people control the world (owning most of the substantial assets and controlling how money flows). That led me to searching and finding this talk he gave at Stanford about money as an instrument of change with truly unique, controversial, and esoteric perspectives about money and making a real difference in the world.

 đŁÂ What 4-letter-word makes you 33% tougher -
- It's science. A new study (r) found that dropping the F-Bomb has powerful pain killing abilities â increasing pain tolerance 33%. And faking it (with close alternatives)
just aren't the same đ

As always, it's an absolute pleasure and an honor getting to spend some time with you, hope you have a great weekend!
