Back in the saddle with the sage @joerogan to talk about my new book, SCARCITY BRAIN, and many other topics.
I enjoyed the hell out of the conversation and getting to hang with Joe, @jamievernon , and the rest of the crew. Thanks for having me back on.

I call this the Two Percent Mindset.
Embrace short-term discomfort to get a long-term benefit. Get creative and find ways that it helps you.
Once I realized the statistic applied far beyond the stairs, I did more things that help me and fewer that hurt me.
What are some things you do in your life are hard in the short term but beneficial in the long run?
Let me know! I often publish great tips from readers in Two Percent, my popular Substack newsletter (TWOPCT.com). Link in bio as well!

I recently saw Phish at the Las Vegas Sphere with my good friend Ryan Soave—picture two sober dudes inside a literal bubble filled with stoned hippies.
After the show, we headed into the studio for the first-ever in-person Two Percent podcast. Ryan is one of the country's leading addiction therapists, and we got into the paths to sobriety (me 11 years, Ryan 18), why high performers can master success but not peace, how to spot what's actually triggering a bad habit, and how to have a genuinely good time without substances.
