In this raw, wide-ranging conversation, Darin sits down with Frank Zummo, award-winning drummer for Sum 41, founding member of Street Drum Corps, and current touring drummer for Electric Callboy, to explore what it really takes to sustain creativity, health, and purpose inside the extreme demands of the music industry. From high-pressure fill-in moments and massive tours to mental health, fatherhood, fear, discipline, and recovery, this episode is a masterclass in resilience.

View the Show Notes Page for This Episode Become a Member to Receive Exclusive Content Sign Up to Receive Peter's Weekly Newsletter In this "Ask Me Anything" (AMA) episode, Peter brings together his most up-to-date thinking on cardiorespiratory fitness into a single, practical guide designed to help listeners structure training for maximal impact on healthspan, lifespan, and long-term independence. He explains why cardiorespiratory fitness is one of the strongest modifiable predictors of longevity, clarifies what zone 2 training actually represents and how it differs from higher-intensity work, and addresses persistent confusion around exercise volume, intensity, and time constraints. The discussion covers how to measure and track progress in zone 2, VO₂ max targets and age-adjusted goals, planning for the marginal decade, and how to balance zone 2 with higher-intensity training across different weekly volumes. Peter also outlines how cardio training should be tailored for beginners, experienced trainees, and older adults, with special considerations for women and guidance on avoiding the most common cardio-training mistakes. If you're not a subscriber and are listening on a podcast player, you'll only be able to hear a preview of the AMA. If you're a subscriber, you can now listen to this full episode on your private RSS feed or our website at the AMA #79 show notes page. If you are not a subscriber, you can learn more about the subscriber benefits here. We discuss: Rational for discussing cardiorespiratory fitness, zone 2, and VO₂ max despite having covered the topic extensively [2:30]; Why cardiorespiratory fitness and VO₂ max are powerful and modifiable predictors of all-cause mortality compared with other health metrics [7:30]; How age-related declines in VO₂ max constrain healthspan and everyday physical function [12:30]; The cardiorespiratory fitness triangle: how different training intensities contribute to building the aerobic base, the aerobic peak, and overall aerobic capacity [14:15]; The cellular mechanics of cardiorespiratory fitness: mitochondria, lactate, muscle fiber recruitment, and intensity thresholds [18:45]; The debate over whether zone 2 training has unique benefits or whether higher-intensity exercise alone is sufficient [27:15]; Balancing intensity and sustainability as training volume increases, and the important role of zone 2 training [32:15]; How to identify your zone 2 training intensity [34:45]; How to measure and track improvements in zone 2 fitness [40:00]; How to accurately measure VO₂ max: lab testing, field tests, and the limits of wearables [45:15]; How to set meaningful VO₂ max targets based on age, sex, long-term decline, and desired physical capabilities later in life [51:15]; How to structure and execute a zone 2 workout [59:45]; How strictly should zone 2 be maintained during a workout? [1:04:00]; How to design a VO₂ max training session: interval length, intensity, recovery, and progression strategies [1:07:00]; Why heart rate is not a reliable metric for titrating VO₂ max interval intensity [1:12:00]; Practical ways to monitor VO₂ max improvements [1:13:30]; How to balance zone 2 and VO₂ max training [1:15:30]; How to structure training for someone limited to 150 minutes per week of total exercise [1:19:00]; How to allocate 150 minutes per week of dedicated cardiorespiratory training between zone 2 and VO₂ max work [1:23:00]; How to structure training for someone with substantial available time who wants to maximize cardiorespiratory fitness [1:24:30]; Why spreading aerobic training across the week beats compressing volume into one session [1:26:15]; How beginners and metabolically unhealthy individuals should start cardiorespiratory training safely [1:28:00]; How "training age" determines the intensity and workload needed to continue improving cardiorespiratory fitness [1:31:15]; Why zone 2 training still matters for women (including postmenopausal women) [1:32:45]; How cardiorespiratory training should adapt with aging [1:35:45]; The most common mistakes people make when training cardiorespiratory fitness and how to avoid them [1:37:45]; How to break through a VO₂ max plateau [1:40:45]; The main takeaways about cardiorespiratory fitness and longevity [1:41:30]; Peter's carve out: oral hygiene and Peter's two-toothbrush system [1:43:00]; and More.

Matt Ridley's seminal book, The Rational Optimist, has inspired many since its publication in 2010 and greatly influenced the creation of The Optimism Institute.  In this far-ranging discussion, Matt will describe an early education that he said was steeped in pessimism but how later in life he found that much of what he'd been taught was simply not true.  This led him to set on a nearly evangelical quest to spread the word that interaction and trade between people and nations, including the free exchange of ideas, will continue to set us on an inexorable path towards increasing prosperity.    Chapters:  00:00 Introducing Matt Ridley Bill Burke introduces Matt Ridley, acclaimed author of "The Rational Optimist" and other influential books. He highlights Ridley's extensive background, including his service in the House of Lords and his work on various scientific committees.  02:39 From Pessimism to Rational Optimism  Matt Ridley shares his personal journey from a pessimistic upbringing in the 1970s to becoming a 'rational optimist' based on evidence. He recounts how his research for 'The Rational Optimist' revealed that many assumed negative trends, like decreasing happiness with wealth, were actually false.  06:01 The Genesis of "The Rational Optimist"  Ridley explains his evangelical motivation for writing 'The Rational Optimist,' aiming to counter pervasive doom and gloom, especially among young people. He also sought to explore the evolutionary roots of human prosperity and growth, driven by an innate curiosity about why the world was improving.  07:28 Ideas Have Sex: Cooperation and Trade  Matt Ridley delves into his concept of "ideas having sex," explaining how human cooperation, trade, and the exchange of specialized skills drive prosperity. He posits that this fundamental human tendency to swap goods and ideas is as crucial to cultural evolution as sex is to natural evolution.  13:50 Social Media's Impact: Polarization and Progress  Ridley reflects on social media's impact on his 'ideas having sex' theory, acknowledging its initial promise for communication but also its role in political polarization.   19:29 Panglossian vs. Rational Optimism  Ridley distinguishes his rational optimism from Panglossian optimism, emphasizing that he believes the world can and should be improved, not that it's already perfect. He counters common pessimistic arguments by pointing to long-term improvements in living standards and the gradual nature of good news compared to sudden bad news.  23:56 Trust and the Pencil's Lesson Matt Ridley discusses the importance of interpersonal trust for societal prosperity, contrasting it with institutional trust. He also elaborates on the 'I, Pencil' essay, illustrating how millions of specialized individuals unknowingly collaborate to produce even a simple item like a pencil.  33:15 Gratitude, Specialization, and Daily Miracles  Ridley encourages gratitude for the vast network of people who contribute to our daily lives, using the example of a simple meal.   36:50 Climate Change: A Problem to Be Solved Matt Ridley shares his nuanced perspective on climate change, acknowledging it as a real threat but cautioning against panic and exaggeration. He suggests viewing it as a problem solvable through human ingenuity, while also highlighting the overlooked environmental benefits of CO2 and the harm caused by some climate prevention measures.  42:51 The Future of Innovation: Worries and Hopes  Ridley discusses the limitless nature of knowledge and innovation, emphasizing communication over population size for progress.
