    #116 - Alison Armstrong PT 2: Why Relationships Are Bad Investments
    May 20 2026
    In Part 2 of our conversation with Alison Armstrong, we explore why many relationships fail long before people admit it, how resentment and misunderstanding quietly destroy connection, and why Alison believes relationships are “bad investments” when people stop paying attention to each other in the present. The conversation dives into masculinity, competition, happiness, faith, communication, and the hidden dynamics between men and women that shape whether a relationship becomes a partnership or a constant battle.

  • #113 - Dr Tommy Wood: The Hidden Cost of Optimizing Your Health

    #113 - Dr Tommy Wood: The Hidden Cost of Optimizing Your Health
    Apr 29 2026
    Dr. Tommy Wood is a neuroscientist and physician focused on brain injury and long term cognitive health. This conversation challenges common assumptions about how the brain works and what actually improves it. He explains why many treatments that succeed in lab models fail in humans, and why outcomes are driven more by environment and behavior than single interventions. A central idea is that the brain needs both stress and recovery. Constant stimulation without rest creates a state similar to overtraining, limiting performance and adaptation. They also examine the tradeoff between optimizing health metrics and living well, and why most benefits come from simple foundations rather than extreme routines.
