Dr. Mike on Culture, Criticism, and Clear Communication | AMA Vol. 23

Ever wonder how top leaders shape organizational culture or how to turn criticism into fuel for success? You're in for a treat.

Back once again is my friend and co-host, O’Neil Cespedes – these AMAs are some of our favorite episodes. Your questions are always insightful, and allow us to dig deeper into the core principles we discuss here every week.

In today’s conversation, O’Neil and I explore:

How to navigate the tension between staying grounded and pushing your limits
How leaders define and grow an organization's culture
The "forming, storming, norming, and performing" model in team building
The power of showing - not telling - when guiding young athletes
Turning negative "noise" into positive action
How to tell a loved one you need more space
And so much more...

Thank you once again for challenging us with great questions -- keep them coming in!

The Science of Aging Well: What Dolphins Can Teach Us About Human Health | Dr. Stephanie Venn-Watson

How did studying military dolphins lead to a breakthrough in human health?

Our guest today, Dr. Stephanie Venn-Watson, is a scientist, entrepreneur, and veterinarian with a remarkable story – one that begins with dolphins and leads to groundbreaking discoveries about human health. Her research with Navy dolphins led to the discovery of C15, an essential fatty acid with the potential to revolutionize how we think about healthy aging and longevity.

I’ve been fascinated by the role of fatty acids in the aging process for a long time... Today, we explore C15’s critical role in maintaining healthy cells, and how it may even help fight against diseases like type 2 diabetes, heart disease, and even Alzheimer’s.

What I love about this conversation is how Stephanie brings the science to life – showing us how the simplest discoveries can have profound implications for our health and well-being.

Our mission and values are so aligned that we partnered with her breakthrough C15 product, Fatty15. Stephanie and the team at Fatty15 are reshaping the world’s approach to healthy aging, and I’m thrilled to support their mission of advancing human health through cutting-edge science.

This is one of those conversations that makes you rethink how you care for your body, what you eat, and what truly supports healthy aging. So whether you’re on your own mission to change the world or simply interested in practical ways to live a healthier life, this conversation with Dr. Stephanie is one you won't want to miss.
