Have you ever wondered why almost every single packaged food contains industrial seed oils, anti-caking agents, preservatives, petrochemical flavorings and other sketchy, non-food ingredients? And why do so many growing companies that started as a healthier real food alternative ultimately sell their souls to Big Food? We're back this week with our dear friend, Anna Vocino, a best-selling cookbook author, actor, stand-up comedian, podcaster and founder of Eat Happy Kitchen. She's here to show you how the food we buy in the grocery store actually gets made, and it's not always pretty. In this episode with Anna, you're about to hear why nearly all food products contain non-food ingredients, how to muster up the courage to start your own business without losing your mind (or your pants), how to achieve longevity in the world of podcasting and media, from a couple of OGs, an optimistic vision for the future of human creativity in the age of AI, and much more… #foodstr #health #fitness #podcast #healthstr #fiatfood #cooking #carnivore #realfood #paleo #organic #seedoils #science #growstr #grownostr #education #podcasting #realfood #nsng image Listen to the full episode with Anna on nostr:npub1v5ufyh4lkeslgxxcclg8f0hzazhaw7rsrhvfquxzm2fk64c72hps45n0v5: https://fountain.fm/episode/tIcrQABnHA7HJqwLmg59

Why do fancy restaurants fill their meals with junk oils, sugars, chemical preservatives, and worse? With rampant food inflation and razor thin margins, even the fanciest, most exclusive and expensive restaurants can’t resist the tendency to cut corners on ingredient quality. That means that no matter how much you spend on eating out - with few exceptions - you’re still getting shockingly low-quality food. So how do high profile celebrities and the rich and famous achieve such dramatic transformations? And are regular Joes and Janes like us actually better off without private chefs and nutritionists? Today we’re here with celebrity chef and entrepreneur, James Barry. Chef James Barry’s 20 years in the field started as a private chef cooking for billionaires, musicians, and celebrities, including Tom Cruise, George Clooney, Barbra Streisand, and John Cusack, to name a few. But it was becoming a father that forced him to go deeper in his exploration of functional food. As the Founder of Pluck, Chef James is the creator of a unique organ-based superfood seasoning that can be sprinkled on foods for a tasty kick that packs the nutritional punch of grass-fed liver, kidney, spleen, heart and pancreas along with organic spices. In this episode, you’ll hear why the food served at fancy, expensive restaurants is so often terrible for our health, how to encourage picky eaters to become more adventurous by expanding their palate, the unexpected challenges and downsides of relying on external experts like private chefs and nutritionists, and much more.

What’s the difference between education and indoctrination? Is our education system broken, or is it operating as intended? The public school conveyor belt is a relic of the Prussian military model, designed to produce compliant workers for factories rather than sovereign thinkers with upward mobility. We’re left with a blindly obedient population that’s smart enough to follow orders, but not smart or courageous enough to question the status quo. The masses are conditioned to become habitually compliant conformists forever reliant on external authority. As Seth Godin writes, “To efficiently run a school, amplify fear (and destroy passion).” These days, educators have limited intellectual freedom to teach what they want to teach. In past decades, we had far less access to information or schooling, yet were far more educated. Now in the age of AI, we have access to unlimited information, but we don’t know if any of it is real or true. So what is the future of education? Our guest today is Matt Beaudreau, a former public school educator and administrator who has dedicated his career to rethinking the very foundations of our education system. Matt shares: “When I saw this system for what it was, I could no longer be a part of perpetuating it.” As founder of the Apogee Strong mentorship program, Matt has an unwavering commitment to empowering young people to become sovereign, self-directed learners - a radical departure from the compliance-driven model that dominates our schools. True education should foster creativity and critical thinking, allowing individuals to pursue their unique passions. Matt’s belief, which I share, is that genius is common, and true learning is about unlocking the innate genius in every one of us. In this episode, you’ll discover how to unshackle your mind from the limits of traditional schooling and cultural conditioning, the status games played by elite institutions, how to utilize passion as a vehicle to learn how to learn, and much more. image #podcast #work #health #wisdom #austin #texas #entrepreneurship #fiat #money #finance #writing #grownstr #psychology #education Listen to the full episode on nostr:npub1v5ufyh4lkeslgxxcclg8f0hzazhaw7rsrhvfquxzm2fk64c72hps45n0v5 and let us know what you think: https://fountain.fm/episode/5vytztxS8MWmLzPwJf98

Hey #nostriches Is your work aligned with your true calling in life? Or are you being paid to overlook your overwhelming disinterest in the work? Is your work-life driven by an illusion where the trivial is disguised as important? Paul admits, “I spent 10 years doing an enormous amount of work but feeling as if I created nothing of substance.” Most of us know the feeling, but it doesn’t have to be this way. In other words, work doesn’t have to suck. Today, I'm thrilled to have my friend and fellow Austinite, Paul Millerd joining us on the show. Paul is a fellow former corporate consultant who has spent the past 7 years blazing an unconventional trail, leaving the rat race behind to pursue a life of creativity, curiosity, and freedom as an independent author and creator. If you’re looking to reclaim your inner ambition, as Paul writes: “The only true and worthwhile edge is deeply caring about what you do.” The real journey isn’t in indulging our desire to escape work, but in finding meaningful work that is true to our mission and purpose here on earth. In this conversation, Paul shares the uncertainty and loneliness of leaving a successful consulting career, to the unexpected joys and challenges of building a life around his curiosity and passions. We'll dive into the frameworks he's developed for discerning "good work" from "bad work," and how he's navigated the ebb and flow of creative entrepreneurship, including the decision to turn down a lucrative publishing deal. Whether you're feeling trapped in a soul-sucking job, or simply curious about what's possible when you break free of societal scripts, you're going to find an abundance of wisdom and inspiration in Paul's story. image #podcast #work #health #wisdom #austin #texas #entrepreneurship #atx #fiat #money #finance #writing #grownstr #psychology Listen to the full episode on nostr:npub1v5ufyh4lkeslgxxcclg8f0hzazhaw7rsrhvfquxzm2fk64c72hps45n0v5: https://fountain.fm/episode/0UloJyiPFerOVUqj7Iq8

What does the concept of longevity mean to you? Does it mean pumping your body full of exogenous hormones, peptides, stem cells, brain implants, and gradually replacing your organs with lab-grown pig parts? Perhaps some of us will sign up to be a brain in a jar? Or can we cruise into our second century by living a simple life of self-reflection, meditating deep in the mountains? After all, in remote corners of the world, there are legends of yogis and spiritual masters living so long that their true age is forgotten to time. Indeed, there are many paths on the road to a long life. In the years ahead, the bifurcation between devout transhumanists on a quest to live forever and those who prefer a more natural approach to aging will become more and more obvious. Today I’m honored to be joined by our friend Mark Divine, a former Navy SEAL commander, entrepreneur, New York Times bestselling author, and renowned expert in personal transformation, mindfulness, and the untapped potential of the human mind. In this expansive conversation, we explore the transformative power of silence and self-reflection, the intricate dance between the ego and attachment, as well as extraordinary feats of consciousness, healing and longevity documented in Eastern spiritual traditions. In this episode, you’ll discover how to break free from the conditioning and limiting beliefs that lead many of us to a "common" life of quiet desperation, powerful practices to master the mind’s energy by combining Eastern wisdom and Western science, how to redefine your relationship with reality to unlock your full potential, and much more… Sit back, open your mind, and this conversation might just change the way you see the world. #health #podcast #mindfulness #meditation #healthstr #fitness #mindset #yoga #longevity #grownstr image Listen now on nostr:npub1v5ufyh4lkeslgxxcclg8f0hzazhaw7rsrhvfquxzm2fk64c72hps45n0v5: https://fountain.fm/episode/3wq7WhVeMDQL2eUgsrEc

When you know what you’re supposed to do, what keeps you from actually doing it? We’re all guilty at times of procrastination, pleasure-seeking, indulging in distraction and escapism, and even self-sabotage. Perhaps it’s all part of the human condition. But since knowing what to do is different from actually doing it, it’s essential to set up systems in our lives to make healthy choices the default option. And sometimes we need a little help getting out of our own way. By helping you work through the subconscious emotional blocks that prevent you from taking positive action, finding the right coach and accountability partner can make a massive difference in your long term results. As today’s guest quips, "I can't help people solve their problems until I find out why they like having them." Today we’re here with our friend, Adam Gilbert, founder of MyBodyTutor. Whether you're a seasoned athlete, busy parent, coach, or just dipping your toes into health and fitness, you'll walk away with actionable strategies and a renewed sense of motivation to make positive and lasting changes in your life. #health #fitness #podcast #healthstr #coaching #psychology #brain #science #growstr #grownostr #education image Listen to the full episode on nostr:npub1v5ufyh4lkeslgxxcclg8f0hzazhaw7rsrhvfquxzm2fk64c72hps45n0v5: https://fountain.fm/episode/n2hpA5JGgJArkpNIdITX
