Hey friends, Chase here. Every summer, I revisit conversations from the archive that have stood the test of time. Not because I'm nostalgic, but because the best ideas don't expire. They deepen. This is another installment of Summer School—episodes I go back to when I'm stuck, looking for the person in my network who's already lived the answer. This one with Tony Robbins is a perfect example. I've been navigating some peak performance challenges around my physical body—joints breaking down from a life as an athlete. Tony has spent years deep in the breakthroughs happening in precision medicine and regenerative health. I originally brought him on the show to learn what was possible. I'm bringing the conversation back for Summer School because those questions matter even more now. Tony is a legend: #1 New York Times bestselling author, life and business strategist, entrepreneur, philanthropist, and peak performance expert. He's coached world-class athletes, entertainers, Fortune 500 CEOs, and U.S. presidents. He's also a friend. I've been front row at his multi-day seminars. I've used his techniques—from mental training to visualization to priming—and yes, I've walked on fire with him. But this conversation goes beyond mindset. It goes into the habits that separate people who are successful and fulfilled… and into Life Force, Tony's book on the regenerative medicine breakthroughs that can transform the quality of your life—and the lives of the people you love. "Success without fulfillment is the ultimate failure." — Tony Robbins Summer School: Tony Robbins on Peak Performance, Precision Medicine, and Transforming Your Quality of Life Tony's obsession is a simple question with a lifelong answer: what actually changes the quality of people's lives? He frames the work as pattern recognition, pattern utilization, and pattern creation—learning from the best so you don't waste 10 or 20 years figuring it out the hard way. Then standing on those shoulders long enough to create your own. That lens shows up everywhere in this episode: in habits, in health, and in mindset. After being told some of his own health challenges were irreversible, Tony experienced firsthand how regenerative technology didn't just help him heal—it made him stronger. And the bigger point he makes is that these breakthroughs aren't reserved for the ultra-wealthy. As technology doubles in power and halves in cost, access keeps expanding. Medicine isn't the whole story, though. Tony also deconstructs the patterns of top performers—because your habits and your mindset still determine whether any of it matters. What You'll Hear in This Episode Why Tony does this work—and how growing up with pain made him obsessed with helping people reclaim themselves The habits of people who are both successful and fulfilled, starting with a mission bigger than yourself Why progress equals happiness, and why comfort quietly kills growth How to prime your day on purpose: cold water, gratitude, three-to-thrive, sincere compliments, and doing the hardest thing first The personal story behind Life Force—family illness, a pituitary tumor, a torn rotator cuff, spinal stenosis, and the stem cell turning point What's changing in regenerative medicine: stem cells, gene editing, diagnostics, sleep science, and more How to use Life Force as a guidebook, not a 600-page homework assignment Why mindset still decides the outcome—including the surprising power of belief, placebos, and your "emotional home" Patterns of Peak Performance One of the most useful parts of this conversation is how concrete it gets. Identifying patterns that already work for peak performers can save years of trial and error. In this episode, three keep coming up: 1. Have a mission Have something you care about more than yourself. It could be your family, your craft, your business, your community—anything real. Tony's blunt about this: when people have something more important than themselves, they don't run out of energy or excitement. When it's only about you, comfort creeps in. And comfort is where growth dies. His one-word formula for happiness is the same one he's taught for decades: progress. If you're not making progress, you're not growing. And if you're not growing, you're not giving. Growing and giving is the game. 2. Prime with gratitude Most people assume their thoughts are simply "their thoughts." Tony's point is that your thoughts are primed by your environment—so you might as well prime yourself on purpose. His morning starts with cold water (not because he loves it, but because it trains the brain: when I say go, we go). Then a 10-minute priming practice built around gratitude, a prayer-type focus, and "three to thrive"—three outcomes he sees and feels as already done. Why gratitude? Because you can't be grateful and angry at the same time. You can't be grateful and fearful at the same time. Most people, as he puts it, have a highway to stress and a dirt road to happiness. Priming is how you reverse that wiring. He also leaves someone a sincere audio compliment each day—not generic praise, but something specific that deepens the relationship. You can learn his free priming process at tonyrobbins.com/priming. 3. Do the hardest thing first Difficult work needs your best energy. Tony's rule is simple: crush the hardest thing early, create momentum, and let everything else get easier. How you start and end your day both matter. Of the two, he says starting well may matter most—because it frames everything that follows. Timecodes So You Can Jump Around 00:00 – Welcome and why this episode is part of Summer School 04:23 – Tony Robbins joins the show 05:03 – What gets Tony up in the morning: impact, reclaiming yourself, and pattern recognition 11:37 – Habits of the most successful and fulfilled people 13:16 – Progress equals happiness; growing and giving as the game 14:44 – Priming your day: cold plunge, gratitude, three-to-thrive, hardest thing first 20:35 – Why Tony wrote Life Force—and the personal experiences behind it 22:21 – The cancer story that shifted him from victimhood to biohacking 25:20 – Pituitary tumor diagnosis, second opinions, and learning to question standard answers 28:53 – Snowboard crash, torn rotator cuff, spinal stenosis—and the stem cell turning point 31:37 – Regenerative medicine breakthroughs worth knowing 38:54 – How to approach Life Force as a guidebook 43:19 – Access and cost: why these tools aren't only for the wealthy 47:00 – Mindset, placebos, and upgrading your emotional home 52:38 – Closing thoughts Why This Conversation Still Matters It's easy to treat health, energy, and longevity as tomorrow's problem—something you'll deal with when you have more time, more money, or a clearer diagnosis. This conversation makes that delay harder to justify. Tony's point isn't that you need every breakthrough tomorrow. It's that ignorance isn't bliss. Ignorance is pain. And in the worst cases, it's preventable loss. The diagnostic tools alone—especially if you're 40 or older—can change the trajectory of a life before a crisis shows up. At the same time, he keeps bringing it back to something simpler and more immediate: how you start your day, what you care about more than yourself, and whether you're actually making progress. The regenerative medicine is extraordinary. The habits and mindset are what make any of it usable. That's why this episode earned a Summer School seat. The science has only accelerated since we first recorded it. The human part—fulfillment, discipline, belief—hasn't gotten any less essential.

Free priming practice: tonyrobbins.com/priming Follow Tony: Instagram | X/Twitter | Website Questions to Reflect On What do I care about more than myself—and is that mission actually driving my days? Where have I confused success with fulfillment? Am I priming my mornings on purpose, or being primed by accident? What's the hardest thing I keep delaying—and what would change if I did it first? Am I waiting for a health crisis before I get curious about prevention, diagnostics, or recovery? Where has "I don't have access" become a story that keeps me from doing the homework? What 3–5 things could I do right now—habits, sleep, diagnostics, mindset—to raise the quality of my life and protect the people I love? The Core Idea Peak performance isn't just about grinding harder. It's about recognizing the patterns that create an extraordinary life—then using them, and eventually creating your own. Your body is part of that equation. So is your mind. So is having something you care about enough that you refuse to get comfortable. Tony's invitation is simple and demanding: don't wait until you're forced to pay attention. Learn what's available. Prime your days on purpose. Grow. Give. And don't let an old story about what's "possible for people like me" keep you from tools that could change—or even save—a life. If there's one lesson worth carrying forward from this Summer School session, it's this: Success without fulfillment is the ultimate failure—and progress, in body and mind, is still the most reliable path to both.

The future our learners build should reflect what matters to them, not just the goals others set for them. We explore what it means to include client voice in future planning through every stage of development, from early choice making to meaningful participation in transition planning and adulthood.We discuss why learner assent, autonomy, and self advocacy should be taught from an early age and how everyday opportunities to communicate preferences help prepare learners for bigger life decisions. We also look at common barriers that can limit participation, including assumptions about communication, caregiver priorities, and time constraints, while sharing practical ways to create more person centered planning.We also talk about balancing family perspectives with learner independence, supporting meaningful communication in all its forms, and focusing on strengths when planning for the future. Whether supporting young children or preparing teens and young adults for adulthood, our goal is to help every learner have a genuine voice in shaping a future that reflects their interests, preferences, and quality of life.What's Inside: Teaching self advocacy and choice making from an early ageSupporting client voice in transition and future planningBalancing family priorities with learner autonomy and strengthsMentioned in This Episode:The Spark: A Mother's Story of Nurturing, Genius, and AutismWhat Color Is Your Parachute?

In this episode of Mind the Kids, the podcast from the Association for Child and Adolescent Mental Health (ACAMH), host Clara Faria — academic clinical fellow in child psychiatry — is joined by Dr. Karolin Krause, clinical epidemiologist and measurement scientist at the Center for Research in Epidemiology and Statistics (CRESS), Université Paris Cité.Dr. Krause shares findings from her recently published paper in JCPP, the Journal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry. The paper — a scoping umbrella review — systematically maps 80 instruments used to measure life impact in youth mental health research across three interconnected domains: functioning, quality of life, and well-being. Despite major international core outcome set initiatives — including ICHOM and In-ROADS — consistently identifying functioning and quality of life as critical outcomes alongside symptoms, no consensus exists on which instruments to use, and the landscape remains highly fragmented.The rationale runs deeper than methodology. Outcomes measurement in child and adolescent mental health is foundational to evidence-based, person-centred care. Symptom severity and life impact do not always move in step — the DSM-5 itself requires both symptom threshold and clinically significant impairment for diagnosis, yet instruments frequently conflate the two constructs, making it difficult to track which improves first in treatment and whether the gains that matter most to young people are being captured. Across the 80 instruments identified, the review found wide variation in informant type, length, age range, and developmental setting. More than a quarter were classified differently across reviews — a consequence of unclear construct definitions, limited co-production with young people, and what the paper terms "jingle-jangle fallacies." A notable gap emerges for the 19–24 age group navigating the transition from CAMHS to adult services, for whom no instrument has been specifically validated.Clara and Karolin discuss why functioning and life impact deserve dedicated measurement separate from symptom scales, the case for self-report over adult-observer-dominated measures, the trade-offs of multi-informant approaches, and a Wellcome-funded project focused on the development of an evidence synthesis platform for patient-reported outcome measure selection aimed at making evidence-based instrument choice more accessible to researchers worldwide”A must-listen for anyone working in child and adolescent mental health, CAMHS outcomes, youth mental health outcomes measurement, functioning measures, quality of life in children and young people, patient-reported outcome measures, or routine outcome measurement in research and practice.The the JCPP paper 'Research Review: Measuring life impact of youth mental health difficulties: scoping umbrella review of 80 instruments'Karolin R.

This week, Tee is joined by Dr. John E. Lewis, PhD, founder and president of Dr. Lewis Nutrition, clinical nutrition researcher, and author of more than 180 peer-reviewed scientific publications. With a career spanning decades in nutrition, exercise science, and human health, Dr. John has dedicated his life to studying how nutrition can influence aging, cognitive function, and overall wellness. In this fascinating conversation, he shares how his journey from competitive bodybuilding to scientific research led him to discover the powerful role of polysaccharides—complex carbohydrates found in plants such as aloe vera and rice bran. In this chat, Dr. John explains why not all sugars are created equal and breaks down the science behind polysaccharides, which he describes as some of nature's most sophisticated and beneficial compounds. He discusses how these plant-derived nutrients support immune regulation, reduce chronic inflammation, nourish the gut microbiome, and influence cellular communication throughout the body. He also shares why aloe vera has earned the title of "the plant of life" in his research and how both aloe and rice bran have been used for centuries for their healing properties. The conversation also explores Dr. John's groundbreaking research at the University of Miami involving individuals with moderate to severe Alzheimer's disease. He discusses findings that showed significant improvements in cognitive function, reductions in inflammatory markers, enhanced immune function, and increased adult stem cell production. In addition, Dr. Lewis shares his personal journey to a plant-based lifestyle, challenges common misconceptions about nutrition and protein, and explains why he believes food remains one of the most powerful tools available for improving healthspan and quality of life. If you're interested in brain health, healthy aging, nutrition science, and natural approaches to wellness, this episode offers an eye-opening look at emerging research that could reshape how we think about aging and disease prevention.

The Enterprise D is paying a visit to Tyrus VII A! We assume Tyrus VII was booked for the weekend, so they were stuck with Tyrus VII A. Bummer. Anywho, what Tyrus VII A lacks in prestige it makes up for in kick ass particle fountains! The grit and grime and danger of mining got you down? Well, Dr. Farallon has the answer for you, shooting a particle cannon from space to do your mining for you! Sounds perfect except the particle fountain is a temperamental bit of tech that threatens to overload every ten minutes. That seems pretty dangerous in and of itself! But don't worry, Dr. Farallon has a solution for that, too, in the guise of Exocomps! That's right, Exocomps, little balls of robot who can be sent into perilous situations to fix problems before they blow up and kill everyone on board! Yay! Sounds good until the Exocomps decide they aren't doing that shit any more. Seems they've gained a degree of sentience that comes with a healthy dose of self-preservation. Dr. Farallon says she'll strip them of their smarts and send them in anyway until one Lt. Commander Data says no. Seems he feels a kinship with the little robotic rascals, and he intends to defend their right to choose, even if it means Picard and Geordi's lives! Will Picard and LaForge be able to stop the particle fountain from exploding? Will Riker and the crew be able to rescue their stranded colleagues? Will Data come to his robotic senses and realize there's no show without Sir Pat?

But the incremental decline in hearing often goes unnoticed, until something triggers action.Join me in conversation with 3 subject matter experts as we discuss how easy it is to improve your quality of life with hearing aids. This program takes place on Vancouver Island, but clinics exist across this country and around the world. The message is very transferable; the call to action is as simple as a phone call to set up an appointment with an audiologist for an assessment.

Send us Fan MailThe Capacity to Have and Live “Whole” - ContentmentWhat if the word you've been underestimating your whole life is the very key to what you've been reaching for? In this episode, we explore contentment — not as a lesser version of happiness, but as the deep, stabilizing foundation from which real growth, goals, and real quality of life are built.We'll walk through the “Goal Sandwich framework” for grounding your desires in what you already have. We'll unpack the concept of capacity — your internal readiness to hold good things when they arrive. And we'll close with three reflection questions designed to take you from the surface all the way to your soul.This one is foundational. This one is for you. Quote of the Week: “He who is not contented with what he has, would not be contented with what he would like to have.”— Socrates I want to leave you with three questions to carry into your week. To sit with. Let them breathe. 1.  What am I happy with right now? (The surface check-in. Start here. It's a valid place to begin.) 2.  What brings me genuine satisfaction? (Go deeper. What actually feels like enough? What do you already have that you truly wanted?) 3.  Do I have the capacity to hold this satisfaction? (The transformational question. Am I willing to let this be real? Am I home to receive what I've already been given?) That third question — that is where the work lives. That is where wellness deepens from concept into lived experience. This is where our maintenance of the good things we build remains.Let's go, let's get it done.Get more information at: http://projectweightloss.org

Have you ever been told you're keeping your old dog alive too long?If you share life with a senior dog, chances are you've encountered unsolicited opinions from friends, family members, strangers, or even people on social media.

How can we approach aging with more joy, empathy, and meaningful connection?We often talk about lifespan, or how long we live, but Kerry Burnight believes the more important question is how fully we live along the way.Burnight is a gerontologist, former professor of geriatric medicine, and author of Joyspan: The Art and Science of Thriving in Life's Second Half. Drawing from decades of experience working with older adults, she discusses why adopting a “growth aging mindset” can change the way we think about getting older, and why autonomy matters just as much as safety in conversations with aging loved ones. As she puts it, “it's not just the big moments, it's the little moments, too.”In this Quick Thinks episode of Think Fast Talk Smart, Burnight and host Matt Abrahams explore the role of listening, storytelling, and empathy in effective communication across generations. Through memorable examples and actionable advice, Burnight offers a compassionate framework for talking about — and thinking about — aging differently.Episode Reference Links:Dr. Kerry BurnightKerry's Book: JoyspanEp.176 From Stereotypes to Synergy: Communicating Across Generations Connect:Premium Signup >>>> Think Fast Talk Smart PremiumEmail Questions & Feedback >>> hello@fastersmarter.ioEpisode Transcripts >>> Think Fast Talk Smart WebsiteNewsletter Signup + English Language Learning >>> FasterSmarter.ioThink Fast Talk Smart >>> LinkedIn, Instagram, YouTubeMatt Abrahams >>> LinkedInChapters:(00:00) - Introduction (02:53) - Aging Mindsets (05:21) - Give of the Day (08:49) - Difficult Aging Conversations (19:21) - Explaining Complex Ideas (20:50) - Conclusion  ********Thank you to our sponsors.  These partnerships support the ongoing production of the podcast, allowing us to bring it to you at no cost.This episode is brought to you by Babbel.

A full life isn't about the quantity of time, but the quality.Our lifespan might describe how long we live, but it doesn't say anything about how well we live. For that, Kerry Burnight says, we need a different measure: joyspan.Burnight is a gerontologist, former professor of geriatric medicine, and author of Joyspan: The Art and Science of Thriving in Life's Second Half. In her decades working with older adults, she noticed a gap: “I would have a lot of people who lived long lives and were in pretty darn good physical health. They were miserable.” That observation led her to dig into the research on well-being — and to find what it takes to enjoy a long life, not just endure one.In this episode of Think Fast, Talk Smart, Burnight joins host Matt Abrahams to explore her joyspan framework, explaining how growth, connection, adapting, and giving contribute to a full life. From changing the conversation around aging to communicating more effectively across generations, Burnight offers practical wisdom for living better at any age.Episode Reference Links:Dr. Kerry BurnightKerry's Book: JoyspanEp.176 From Stereotypes to Synergy: Communicating Across Generations Connect:Premium Signup >>>> Think Fast Talk Smart PremiumEmail Questions & Feedback >>> hello@fastersmarter.ioEpisode Transcripts >>> Think Fast Talk Smart WebsiteNewsletter Signup + English Language Learning >>> FasterSmarter.ioThink Fast Talk Smart >>> LinkedIn, Instagram, YouTubeMatt Abrahams >>> LinkedInChapters:(00:00) - Introduction (03:21) - Defining Joyspan (05:28) - The Joyspan Matrix (11:04) - Learning to Adjust (11:58) - The Power of Stories (15:39) - Internalized Ageism (18:41) - The Final Three Questions (26:00) - Conclusion ********Thank you to our sponsors.  These partnerships support the ongoing production of the podcast, allowing us to bring it to you at no cost.Strawberry.me.
