In episode 35, We recap the last show a last week and everything in between since episode 34!
Continuing with the broader theme of brain, body, and business and what that all means and entails. This episode we go a little deeper catch up on all things happening brain body and business. A little bit on breathing but really zeroing in on Plateauing and Mediocrity.
Brain- Not too much on brain this week, although I did start talking a little bit about brain science and a new book that I am reading and how complex the brain really is. Still really digging into a user's Guide to the Brain.Body- Of course breathing continues to be a theme, less so in this episode it's really more about optimizing. A little bit on peloton as I approach day 100 next week. Business - chat a bit about what consistency really means because everybody says it over and over but I think there is room for interpretation and a slow growth track towards being consistent and what we do as individuals.
The TL;DR:

• This episode is a lot on Plateauing and Mediocrity and not settling how to kind of break through that bullshit and take back control.
• We all do it and it's good to kind of reassess from time to time in various parts of our lives.
• I think in general there is an awareness we all have about the importance of breathing
• There are little things we can all do to help improve the overall quality of our lives but also our blood flow and circulation
• I briefly mention the power of collaboration especially in business.
• Dysgraphia and is it possible that some thing I might be or have been dealing with unknowingly.
• Ice Barrel, because cold showers are cold enough it's time to step up my game.

All three sections brain body and business are intertwined in this week's episode again, I talk a bit about social media in relation to brain body & business. I bring up something that's been on my mind a lot with the breathing is that because people are so specialized nobody actually specialized and breathing but it's a vital function that gets lost in the medical community.
It's basically a case for filling in gaps between bigger niches there's even a smaller subset sometimes. I touch on cold therapy a little bit and the benefits.
A few books that I've been reading that might be of interest as well related to breathing

• Wim Hof
• The Breathing Cure
• A User's Guide to the Brain
• Behavioral and ps

In episode five we recap the year and the amazingness that was 2020. We talk about everything from family pajama pictures for the holidays, some of the years top Netflix shows/movies. Of course no episode would be complete without books! In the second half of the episode I bring up a long history and struggles with my own addiction. I talk about my teenage years through college, touch on my 20s and even fatherhood and battles and struggles with addiction and alcohol over the last 22 years. I am now 100% sober and have been for over a year each day is a struggle but I try to have an honest and open discussion about my lifelong battle with alcohol. I am sure I did not cover everything but I just try to be open and start a discussion hopefully it helps someone or someone you know. I wanted to shed some light on it because I am sure I am not the only person to ever struggle with something of this nature and I hope that my second chance inspires others to take it seriously because it almost cost me my life and I am lucky that it did not.Please share this episode with other people I do mention to reach out for help if you or someone you know is struggling. It was by no means the greatest year in history but I am hopeful about the future and I hope you are as well!

In Episode 16 I talk about all things in the world of Will for the last week. It is also the one year anniversary from coming out of inpatient rehab! I talk a little bit about the progress that I've made and the progress that I hope to continue to make on my journey! Lots of book recommendations this week the latest in Clubhouse, And just generally touching on a variety of subjects and things going on in my life with family kids and work! Also hard conversations are just that. They aren't "fun" they can sometimes be difficult, however they are also necessary for progress and to help one another be better, be accountable to one another! The goal with difficult conversations is so that we can all grow and learn on our journeys. I think I mentioned a ton of books but I will just stay here in the notes my top five of the week (In no particular order):

• Untamed by Glennon Doyle
• Agile Conversations: Transform Your Conversations, Transform Your Culture by Douglas Squirrel and Jeffrey Fredrick
• Turn the Ship Around!: A True Story of Turning Followers into Leaders
  by L. David Marquet and Stephen R. Covey
