    Episode 90 Use it or Lose it

    Check out my ChatGPT episode description below.



    The phrase "Sitting is the new smoking" has become a ubiquitous admonition in recent years, often met with eye-rolls and dismissive sighs. Guilty as charged, I found myself among the chorus of those advocating for standing desks in the workplace. But perhaps a less clichéd, yet equally potent, expression is "use it or lose it." It's a simple truth that has recently crystallized in my mind with newfound clarity. Our bodies are remarkably adaptive, but they're also mercilessly responsive to our habits – or lack thereof. Inactivity isn't merely a neutral state; it's a directive to our physiological systems to wind down, to relinquish their vitality. And yes, that includes the seemingly innocuous act of sitting. In this episode, I aim to delve into the profound implications of this reality, exploring how our sedentary lifestyles dictate more than just our posture, but our overall well-being. From the biological mechanisms at play to the societal norms that perpetuate our seated existence, I'll unpack why it's imperative to heed the warning: use your body actively, or prepare to forfeit its full potential.

    Episode 88 How to win the 2024 Presidential Election

    The one thing that would guarantee a win in the 2024 election? A tax break for a very specific group of people. No, not the people who are already rich. 
    In this episode I talk about my idea of giving a tax break to the people who build and maintain this country—the tradesperson.

    Episode 87 Job Loss, Stress, Depression, and Diabetes

    Episode 87 Job Loss, Stress, Depression, and Diabetes

    In case you have been wondering where I have been, I have been busy dying. I'm only partially kidding. It turns out I have been under a lot of stress over the past few months, and it has taken its toll on my health. After getting terminated from my high-paying job in May of 2023, I went through a four-month job search. When I finally did land a gig, it turned out to be even more stressful than being unemployed. Fast forward to a few weeks ago, and I am now a diabetic.



    In this episode, I'll dive into the past year of my life. I'll cover why I quit podcasting and why I came back.

Good Stuff

I listened to your podcast this morning on the way to work. I must admit that I initially subscribed to your podcast because I know you. But after listening, I would have enjoyed it even if I did'nt know you. Keep them coming.
