As the year comes to a close, it’s time to reflect, share gratitude, and indulge in tradition.
Each year, we close things out with our “Best Of” series, a 2-part compilation of the most enlightening excerpts from the previous 12 months of the show. Today, I’m excited to share Part 1 of this annual celebration.
2024 was packed with an astonishing array of guests—we learned from inspiring survivors who transformed personal challenges into powerful stories of hope. Pioneering scientists and doctors shared breakthrough insights in longevity, brain health, and nutrition. World-class athletes revealed raw truths about sports culture and personal transformation. Leading thinkers challenged our understanding of consciousness, productivity, and human potential. And individuals who experienced profound transformations offered actionable wisdom on what it truly takes to change your life wholesale.
For our devoted podcast fans, think of these next two episodes as a recap, a way to remind yourself of the most impactful lessons from your favorite guests. And for those newer to the show, may this episode entice you to mine through the catalog and dial-up conversations you may have missed or skipped.
“This series is my way of honoring the magic we make here together and a reminder of the power we all have to do and be better, for ourselves and the world.”
