Get Busy Living PodcastFIVE PRIMARY POINTS of the PODCASTChronic Inflammation is a Powerful Predictor of Disease and DeathDr. Mishra explains that mounting evidence—including a major American College of Cardiology scientific statement—shows inflammation, measured by high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hsCRP), predicts long-term cardiovascular risk and mortality more strongly than LDL cholesterol alone. Inflammation is no longer a theoretical concern; it is clinically actionable and central to aging, heart disease, cancer, and dementia risk.Excess Inflammation Accelerates Aging and DiseaseWhile inflammation is essential for healing and fighting infection, chronic or excessive inflammation damages tissues and increases mortality risk. Dr. Mishra emphasizes that inflammation may be one of the best biological markers of aging, making immune balance—not suppression—a critical goal for long-term vitality.30-Day Anti-Inflammatory Challenge Targets the Essentials that Matter MostThe episode introduces a simple, actionable “execute on the essentials” framework:cut 200 calories per day, move 20 more minutes daily, sleep 20 more minutes nightly, and strengthen one in-person social connection each week. These small, disciplined changes can meaningfully lower inflammation and reduce disease and death risk without medications.Four Lifestyle Levers—Diet, Exercise, Sleep, and Connection Work SynergisticallyEating less and less often reduces inflammatory burden; regular aerobic and resistance exercise lowers CRP, IL-6, and TNF-α; adequate sleep both reduces inflammation and improves metabolic control; and social connection directly alters immune-related gene activity. Together, these four levers form a powerful, low-cost “anti-inflammatory quartet”Peak Vitality Requires Identifying Your Personal “Free Solo”Inspired by Alex Honnold's rope-free climb of Taipei 101, Dr. Mishra challenges listeners to define their own “Free Solo”—a deeply personal pursuit that demands long-term discipline, courage, and preparation. Pairing biological vitality (low inflammation) with meaningful purpose unlocks the highest levels of performance and fulfillment. Copyright VyVerse, LLC. All Rights Reserved.

Alex Hannold, the famous free solo climber, made history again - Live on Netflix.
Anna and Raven discuss the top 3 stolen items from hotels. Producer Justin on the other hand stayed at a hotel this weekend where he was almost positive, he was leaving with the full-sized products in the bathroom because they were so good. The Doomsday clock is ticking and may actually be... moving? Raven thinks this is a joke, Anna is a little worried. How would you know end of days are coming? Anna dn Raven discuss. Anna caught Raven in the act of something she hadn't seen in years during the show yesterday. He was balancing a check. Who does that anymore? They discuss old school habits that are now embarrassing. Anna has been getting ads for “Culturally 30+ bars”. A dream for women who are too old to party with those in their 20s. Producer Sophia discusses the ways she knows she is in a cultural 30+ club. Trending today is Sydney Sweeney and her pretty illegal stunt that may have gotten her in more trouble than she imagined it would. The reason she did it checks out, though. HUNGRY EYES! Yes. Anna has them. Her obsession with Harvest Snap Veggie chips has gotten to the point where the scale is on the rise. Who would have thought vegetable chips would fluff you up! Free Solo took place live this weekend, and Alex made it out alive! Anna and Raven have some thoughts on this whole idea. Anna, Raven, Producer Justin and Producer Sophia put their abilities to the test and attempted to climb a building too. It didn't work. Mary and Luke's teenage son brings his friends over all the time after school, and they eat everything in the house. Dad has had enough; these kids are eating all their food and groceries are expensive. He wants to ask the kids to leave some cash or tell his son to stop bringing kids to their house. Mom thinks that it's part of being a parent to a teen! Boys eat a lot, and they just need to budget for it. They're not going to limit the amount of chips and soda they buy just because their son is lucky enough to have so many friends. Plus, she likes that they're the “hang out” house. Donna has a chance to win $500! All she has to do is answer more pop culture questions than Raven in Can't Beat Raven!
Alex Honnold captivated audiences around the world when he free solo climbed a 1,667 foot skyscraper in Taiwan named Taipei 101. Few people understand what Alex might have been feeling like Dan Goodwin. Forty years ago Dan free solo climbed the CN tower. Now he is talking about what it takes to achieve such a feat.
In honor of Alex Honnold solo climbing the Taipei 101 on Netflix live, we had our 4'9" producer Vanessa solo climb Johnny's standing desk. Was she successful, or did she fall to her death? Watch the livestream HERE for a visual aid. We also got a juicy relationship update from Klein, Ally learns a former middle school friend is now a billionaire. We also brought back the game Tik Tok Toe where we learned how to be an overnight millionaire and how to make a man 'instantly obsessed with you.' And in the divorciest month of the year we vented about spouses in Don't Be A Dick!

You've probably seen the promos on Netflix: superstar climber Alex Honnold will attempt to climb one of the tallest buildings in the world TONIGHT. Live. No ropes. Netflix will air it on a 10-second delay, but that doesn't fully cover all of safety and ethical concerns for what Honnold is doing. Honnold -- considered one of the best climbers in the world -- shot to fame with the Oscar-winning documentary "Free Solo," which documented his no-ropes climb up Yosemite's Dawn Wall. He's the only person to ever free solo the Dawn Wall, considered the holy grail of climbing. Tonight's broadcast comes with controversy and criticism, especially now that Honnold is a husband and father of two young girls. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

This week, the world's attention is fixed on Alex Honnold as he prepares for his most public and high-stakes challenge to date: Skyscraper Live on Netflix. This Friday, January 23rd, Alex will attempt to become the first person to free solo the 1,667-foot Taipei 101 in Taiwan, scaling the 101-story landmark live in front of millions.Alex joins us to deconstruct the mindset required to perform when the stakes are literally life or death. He challenges the common perception of his "fearlessness," explaining that his mastery isn't the absence of fear, but the result of a decade of meticulous preparation. Alex dives into the "mental switch" required to transition from the grind of training to the total surrender and trust required during a performance.Key Topics Discussed:The 10-Year Rule: Alex explains why he spent 10 years training for El Capitan, ensuring that by the time he stepped onto the wall without a rope, he felt prepared rather than reckless.Managing Fear: A masterclass in differentiating between founded and unfounded fear, and the process of making "scary" feel "comfortable" through practice and visualisation.The Feeling of Mastery: What it truly looks like to perfectly execute a high-performance taskPreparation and Visualization: Alex reveals his process for visualising failure in graphic detail to ensure he is emotionally prepared for any outcome.Legacy and Life Cycles: Now a father of two, Alex reflects on how his upbringing and perfectionist roots shaped him, and how he balances his pursuit of extreme moments with his responsibilities at home.Alex offers an honest look at what it takes to do the thing you've always wanted to do and answer the question: "What's to lose?".Our Partners: Incogni
Free Solo is the documentary about climber Alex Honnold attempting to climb El Capitan — a 3,000-foot rock wall — with no rope.I watched it last night and it did that thing great films do: you don't just enjoy it, you start auditing your own life. Not dramatically — just noticing I was still tense afterwards, like my body was holding onto the consequences. Because it's not really a film about climbing. It's about consequence — and the choice to move forward when there's no second chance.As cyclists, that lands close. We obsess over control in tiny details, yet accept familiar risks without thinking. This episode is about getting honest: separating performance risk from consequence risk, spotting the “uncertainty stack,” and making smarter decisions before luck runs out.Go to www.roadmancycling.com/2026 to sign up for Not Done Yet.

David Nurse, high-performance coach to NBA All-Stars and Olympic gold medalists, discovered that elite performers don't hope for flow—they engineer it. The secret isn't motivation or talent. It's neuroscience. This isn't vague "find your flow" advice. This is the brain mapping research revealing that flow state occurs at a precise frequency—10 Hz in the Alpha zone—and the specific protocols to train your nervous system to access it on demand. David breaks down why legendary athletes like Kobe Bryant could enter "the zone" during championships, the paradoxical tension required for effortless focus, and the deep practice methodology that builds neural pathways for consistent peak performance. Discover: • The 10 Hz revelation—why flow happens at a measurable brainwave frequency (and how to train your brain to reach it) • Why the 10,000-hour rule is incomplete—the "deep practice" feedback loop that builds myelin and creates mastery • The "bumper bowling" principle—how removing fear of failure unlocks creative genius • Alex Honnold's "Free Solo" mindset—why elite performers visualize disasters, not just success • The TAP trigger for daily flow—Trust, Acceptance, and Presence as the gateway to effortless performance • The Flow Code formula—combining visualization, body scanning, and bilateral tapping to down-regulate your nervous system • Flow beyond athletics—how to access the zone for creative work, presentations, and high-stakes moments Here's what separates amateurs from world-class: amateurs wait for inspiration. Masters train their nervous systems to produce flow on command. If you've ever experienced a moment where everything clicked and wondered why you can't recreate it—this episode decodes the exact neural pathway to get back there.

Mountain climbing is safer when you do it with a climbing partner. If you want to see something really crazy, something that might even bring up some anxiety as you watch it, check out the documentary called Free Solo. This is a National Geographic documentary about a young rock climber named Alex Honnold. His dream was to climb this 3000 foot rock called El Capitan, in Yosemite National Park. Just climbing it is a great achievement for most rock climbers. But Alex Honnold is not like most rock climbers. He wanted to do it without any ropes, and without any safety equipment. That's what “free solo” climbing is. Alex planned and trained extensively for it. And he was successful. My guest today is Dan. Dan loves to climb. One day he was out with his friend and long-time climbing partner, Jim. It was a beautiful day and they were having a great time. That was the day that Dan learned that when you're on the mountain, having a partner there with you can mean the difference between life and death.

"A daily practice, again, I want to leave this with you and I'm leaving it with myself. Is to just try as hard as you can to look at these challenges as opportunities. What can I learn here? Can this fill me with love? Can this teach me something I need to learn? Is this busting open a block that I've been carrying around my entire my life-- the inability to ask for help; the inability to accept love. Whatever it may be. It will serve a purpose if you let it."Today's episode is a sit down with Matt's friend & City on a Hill co-worker, Anne Carson. Anne has had a long & successful career working on hit TV shows and films including War of the Worlds, Free Solo, It Ends With Us, & The Morning Show to name a small, select few. This vulnerable, heartfelt conversation details not only Anne's love for filmmaking, but also her passion for running. Anne dives into how spinal injuries not only affected her career and love for running, but lead her to an inflection point; a point where she's not sure how to move forward. Matt and Anne talk about their time on set while filming City on a Hill (watch out for those staplers!) and how it's never to late to pivot in a new direction.

Honesty Is Your Key To Freedom In this episode, Kayla shares her personal journey of overcoming struggles with mental health and the importance of honesty in achieving personal growth. She discusses her experiences with therapy, acceptance, and the need for authenticity and attachment in life. Through her three-part framework, she emphasizes the significance of acknowledging one's feelings and the transformative power of being honest with oneself. Takeaways Honesty is crucial for personal growth and health. The belief about oneself influences feelings and actions. There is a difference between how life looks and how it feels. Acceptance is the first step towards change. Acknowledgment of one's situation is empowering. Building authenticity requires self-trust and expression.

Alex shares how embracing your uniqueness and mortality is the most powerful way to envision and live a fuller, more intentional life.

An update on why there was a break in the action....after a tumultuous week- some thoughts on t shirts, the lord, guns and a brief history of Norwegian black metal
This episode was originally broadcast in April 2022Alex Honnold is one of the world's best rock climbers, famous for his free solo ascents of big walls, including his 2017 first free solo of El Capitan in Yosemite.Alex began studies in engineering at the University of California-Berkeley but dropped out to pursue his passion for climbing, living out of his van. He first attracted attention within the climbing community in 2008 when he became the first climber to free solo Half Dome in Yosemite. In 2012 he established the speed record for the Yosemite Triple Crown, climbing three big walls in under 19 hours. With Hans Florine, Alex climbed the popular Nose of El Capitan, a nearly 3,000-foot granite wall, in a record time of two hours 23 minutes and 51 seconds – a feat National Geographic described as perhaps " the greatest feat of pure rock climbing in the history of the sport."Alex has been profiled by 60 minutes and the New York Times, appeared on the cover of National Geographic and starred in numerous adventure films. In 2015, together with professional climbing writer David Roberts, he authored Alone on the Wall, the story of seven of his greatest climbing feats up to that year.In 2012 Alex founded the Honnold Foundation to provide solar power to some of the disadvantaged communities he was coming across in his climbing career. In 2021 the Foundation supported 44 communities across 17 countries with its brand of community-centered innovation catalysed by solar energy.Links and more:Watch the video of this episode: https://youtu.be/MwmQf0mhHkEHonnold Foundation: https://www.honnoldfoundation.org/Free Solo Trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=urRVZ4SW7WUFree Solo website: https://films.nationalgeographic.com/free-soloThe Ascent of Alex Honnold – CBS special report with Lara Logan https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SR1jwwagtaQEduro Corner: The most exposed move of Alex's Free Solo climb of El Capitan https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=blfR33DUqsgProject Bo: https://www.projectbo.org/Project Bo, lessons learned: https://www.liebreich.com/project-bo-saving-lives-in-sierra-leone-with-solar-batteries-and-twitter/
Risk is relative, and fascism places everything in perspective. As such, this episode puts an end to ‘Org' aliases (because, why not?) before reiterating the purpose that has been core since the 'cult'ure series inception. It was never about one specific brand or a few bad players. It's about every one of us owning up to our complicity and passive acceptance of cult-capitalistic norms. Did you know that the once-fringe Wellness Industry is now worth more than Big Pharma? So it's no surprise that the confluence of pseudoscience and capitalism has given birth to the MAHA movement, which relies heavily on reflexive denialism and a lack of evidential accountability. New-age wellness culture is at least in part to blame, particularly the way that high-vibe religious zeal and spiritual supremacy have become normalized. In this episode, I reflect on my past work as a wellness grifter, where I inadvertently perpetuated colonizer logic by creating top-down sales funnels that exploited people's vulnerabilities for personal gain. I also speak explicitly about the launch of some former Nia (oops, there it is) influencers who are pitching a program of "liberation" in the aftermath of exiting high-demand influence and highlight six specific reasons why regular listeners of this podcast may want to be wary.Support the showThe stories and opinions shared in this episode are based on personal experience and are not intended to malign any individual, group, or organization.Join The Deeper Pulse at Patreon for weekly bonus episodes + other exclusive bonus content.
