Saturday 7

Published: Sat, 05/22/21

Hey, good morning!

Here is your Saturday 7 weekly roundup on health and wealth, art and science, creativity and innovation, laughs and life.

🌳 What's still open:

This past week I opened up a section in Meat Health Academy about the Environmental and Ethical Implications of a Meat-Based Diet. Since I received so many messages about people wanting to refer back to this and send to others, I've decided to leave it open for the foreseeable future.

NOTE: You do have to "create a new account" and the Program Previews will then be accessible.

Are Cows really Bad for the Planet? Why did we start blaming them?

To piggyback on the environmental aspects of meat-eating, Dr. Shawn Baker passed this along, a great interview with an agricultural scientist who dispels myth and myth about the vilification of meat and its carbon footprint.

🤵 How to make a man:

While step 1 involves birds and bees, an X and Y chromosome, and tends to be straightforward, the next step in making a man isn't so clear. But the king of carnivore podcasting, Scott Myslinski ("CarnivoreCast"), is bringing some guidance in a whole new podcast called "Making a Man." The new podcast is all about how to become a better man, covering topics like relationships, entrepreneurship, and life philosophy. While it was an honor to be invited on, talking about how to design your life, I'm looking forward to tuning in and learning!

This episode pairs well with a guest university lecture I did a couple years ago.

"A man must choose a path which will let his abilities function at a maximum efficiency toward the gratification of his desires."

🎂 99 (more) bits of advice:

Futurist Kevin Kelly turned 68 a year ago and gave 68 bits of unsolicited advice. Now, a year later and a year wiser, he published 99 more bits of advice.

"That thing that made you weird as a kid could make you great as an adult — if you don't lose it."

🕰 Is timeless advice really timeless:

I mean, since we are talking about advice...How Timeless is Timeless Advice?

Is buying a home always the right decision?
Should everyone have a rainy day fund?

🧠 What quote I've been thinking about:

"One lesson I've learned is that if the job I do were easy, I wouldn't derive so much satisfaction from it. The thrill of winning is in direct proportion to the effort I put in before. I also know, from long experience, that if you make an effort in training when you don't especially feel like making it, the payoff is that you will win games when you are not feeling your best. That is how you win championships, that is what separates the great player from the merely good player. The difference lies in how well you've prepared."

– Rafael Nadal, winner of 20 Grand Slam Tennis Titles

💲 What price would you sell:

I did my first bitcoin podcast with Colin Stuckert where we discuss how we both got into bitcoin and where we see it going (talking about if and when we'd ever sell).

Neither Colin nor I are professional investors (and we 100% are not giving any financial advice). However my brother is. And he listened to the podcast and offered some critiques as well as words of wisdom with regard to traditional investing (equities, bonds, ect.). So I'm going to get him on the podcast to talk about the stock market and investing in uncertain times.

😂 Who returned to the stage:

Comedian John Mulaney returned to the stage after coming out of rehab. And this 5-minute clip on college had me rolling as my mailbox is full of the same propositions from high school, college, and dental school.

Warning: NSFW / language - but that's why I send this on Saturday :)

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