    Lucy Guo: The Fastest Way to Build a Business Today (The #1 Strategy That Saves You Months of Wasted Work)
    Jul 6 2026
    Success isn't always about having the best idea, it's about moving before fear, perfectionism, or conventional thinking slow you down. In this conversation, Jay sits down with entrepreneur and investor Lucy Guo to explore why execution beats overthinking, how meaningful relationships create lasting opportunities, and why optimizing for learning often matters more than optimizing for certainty. Together, they unpack a refreshingly honest perspective on ambition, wealth, risk, and building a life that's driven by curiosity rather than validation. In this episode you'll learn: How to Build Valuable Connections How to Escape Decision Paralysis How to Find Better Business Ideas How to Take Smarter Risks How to Make Success Sustainable Success isn't reserved for the people with the perfect plan, the perfect timing, or all the right answers. It's built through small decisions to keep learning, take thoughtful risks, and move forward even when the path isn't completely clear.

  • Dr. Chris Palmer: Your Diet Could Be Causing Anxiety, Depression & Brain Fog (6 Simple Changes to Make Today)

    Dr. Chris Palmer: Your Diet Could Be Causing Anxiety, Depression & Brain Fog (6 Simple Changes to Make Today)
    Jul 3 2026
    What if we've been thinking about mental illness all wrong? Harvard psychiatrist Dr. Chris Palmer argues that conditions like anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, and schizophrenia may be rooted in metabolic dysfunction, not just genetics or trauma. Drawing on decades of clinical research, he explains which chemical additives may be harming our brains, why ketogenic diets are showing remarkable promise for severe mental illness, and why recovery is about far more than willpower. Chris also opens up to Jay about the deeply personal story of his mother that inspired him to pursue psychiatry, and why, despite the growing mental health crisis, he remains genuinely hopeful for the next generation. In this episode you'll learn: How to Recognize the Connection Between Diet & Mental Health How to Notice Warning Signs of Metabolic Dysfunction How to Support Loved Ones Through a Mental Health Crisis How to Become More Resilient with Self-Care How to Turn Personal Pain Into Purpose How to Use Fasting & Ketogenic Diets Safely How to Talk to Kids About Nutrition & Brain Health Healing rarely comes from one single fix. Instead it comes from understanding the whole person: body, brain, and everything we feed both. Sometimes the most radical form of self-love is simply asking what’s going into your body, and why?
