When we think about fertility, we often focus on women—but what about men? In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Paul Turek, one of the world's leading experts in male reproductive health, to talk about the male biological clock and why preventive fertility care for men is just as important as it is for women. We discuss how age affects sperm quality, the lifestyle factors that can improve (or harm) male fertility, and the best ways men can take charge of their reproductive health. In this episode, we cover: Do men have a biological clock? The truth about how aging affects sperm health Why preventive fertility care matters for men, not just women Sperm quality and lifestyle: How diet, sleep, and avoiding toxins can improve fertility Common causes of male infertility and how to address them The TICKR checklist: Five key areas men should focus on for better fertility Groundbreaking treatments for male infertility, including sperm mapping and stem cell research Read the full show notes on my website.

Martin Whiteley is someone who likes to work behind the scenes, however, many of you will know his name. From the mid-80s onwards, Martin has been involved with the growth of mountain biking, and through his time as CEO of Australian Cycling, working at the UCI and running some of the biggest downhill race teams in history, Martin has played a role in shaping our sport into what it is today. With all this history, it's hard to pick and choose what to cover, so this episode is pretty long and I've split it into two parts. Part one covers Martin's background and his time at the UCI. We hear about his work with Global Racing, G-Cross Honda, Trek World Racing and the YT Mob, and get his thoughts on talent development. Part two will be dropping tomorrow, where we'll talk about Red Bull, the Discovery takeover, athlete management and plenty more. For now, here's part one.

Rab Wardell is a talented multi-discipline mountain biker who came up through the ranks of cross country racing to reach World Cup level. Along the way, there have been numerous ups and downs with overtraining and bouts of depression, that have led Rab to question himself and to step away from racing. We sat down for a chat at the Tweed Valley EWS where Rab was racing the insanely tough ebike event. Rab's open and honest approach, to what has been a challenging career so far, was refreshing and shows just how hard it can be to make it in our sport. It also shows that you can come back from low points in your life and Rab offers some insight into how he did that. Rab also share's some wisdom on over-training and how to fuel events that I hope you'll find really useful. So sit back, hit play and listen to this episode with Rab Wardell.

Welcome to the world of impact investing, where Tickr founder Tom McGillycuddy shares what it was like for him and his co-founder, Matt Latham, to leave their corporate jobs and create a business that allows people to invest in companies that create a positive impact, such as those in the energy, water, food, health, education, and cybersecurity space, to name a few.Initially crossing paths in Barclays, Tom and Matt realized that they wanted to “democratize” investing and make it more accessible for everyone. Apart from that, they also wanted to give people a chance to support companies they believed were making an impact. So, it was basically offering people a chance to invest sustainably and adopt good investment behaviors. In terms of how Tickr works, it first gives people three themes to choose from (people, planet, and people-planet) along with three risk levels, after which you will then be able to select from an extremely diverse array of options the companies you would like to invest in. They encourage their users to invest monthly, which 85% of them do. Currently, Tickr has over 100,000 customers and it's continuously growing, since more and more people are realizing the beauty of what Tickr offers and the problem that it solves.Tom talks about the two ways of getting a fintech company regulated, which both have their own pros and cons. He also shares the challenges he and Matt faced when it came to finding investors, and he says their financial backgrounds had a big role to play as it helped them talk to the right people and get the funds they needed. Contrary to what you may think, Tom and Matt actually didn't do much market research, because they were creating this product for themselves and their friends. They simply built their idea off the fact that they knew there was a desire to invest and to have a positive impact, and years later, they proved themselves right. Tom's advice for early-stage founders is that although working in a startup is definitely not a walk in the park, if you're passionate enough about your idea, work hard to make it happen. Having a vision of the future, he says, is also crucial to investors, so keep that in mind.In the years to come, Tom would like to think that the term ‘impact investing' will be obsolete as it will just be considered ‘investing,' and with the help of companies like BlackRock, a more impact-driven society will hopefully happen sooner rather than later. Tom's key lessons and quotes from this episode were:“We started to realize after we started working on the idea that one of the only ways to truly engage with investing for the long term, it's good for them and good for everyone else, is via impact, and the stories, and the narrative.” (3:36)“What we should be getting people to do is invest sustainably, not in the impact sense of the word but in the longevity sense of the word, for themselves and build wealth over the long term.” (7:39)“You create sustainable wealth for yourself into the future by investing in hundreds of companies around the world that are doing good for the world.” (12:13)“I think our generation specifically and the way we see our money as a tool that reflects our values and what we believe in the world, I think that will have a massive impact.” (15:08)“In 10 years' time, there'll be no such thing as impact investing. It'll just be called investing.” (16:21)“Our generation wants to solve these problems more than anyone else. The problems are getting worse, and they want Support the show (https://www.buymeacoffee.com/impacthustlers)

They have a four year track record investing with this strategy. Highlights: “We still look and act as if people and nature are inputs into the financial process and inputs for financial gains instead of thinking financial markets are tools to support people and planet.” Impact investing: is intentional, additional and measurable and incorporates risk based approach of ESG and takes it one step further. The ABC approach = A: Avoiding harm + B: Benefiting stakeholders + C: Contributing to solutions “I do think that especially the larger companies could do faster than what they are doing. And I think, unfortunately, a lot of them will only do it under pressure from investors and from the way that we invest. And that's why it's important, I think, is a very important role of the financial industry to make sure that we also don't get accommodated with the status quo , and start to really put some incentives and pressure for companies to transition faster, especially the ones that have more resources to do so.” Snowball’s investment strategy is to have a diversified portfolio: renewable energy, sustainable forestry, social housing, charity bonds, circular economy, tech for good.  They invest in all SDGs - with the final SDG in aquaculture of SDG14 - Life Below Water.  First time investors are interested to learn from every asset classes and impact from every SDGs. Core and satellite strategy: What is happening on the ground How fund managers works with investments to improve impact How we work with other fund managers and investors to improve our approach and share leaning Standards and regulations are next steps to scale impact. We need to make it easy for investors to compare and contrast investments and make it harder for impact washing. Pricing of negative externalities is a fundamental step in scaling and mainstreaming impact. Rockefeller Foundation gave a grant so that Snowball can share their experience to the impact community of lessons learned about starting and growing an impact fund - there will be a webinar - Watch this space. Investment examples: Circularity Capital is an investment fund of Snowball, they invest in circular economy businesses.

For the vast majority of investors, the stock market remains primarily a place for making money work harder. But increasingly, environmental and social consciousness is playing a role in investment decisions.But a lack of clear guidelines on ESG reporting means there has been a rise in both companies and funds attempting to make themselves seem cleaner than they are - and life harder for investors that want to make their money genuinely work for good. On this week's Investment Hour John Hughman and Megan Boxall discuss these sticky issues with associate editor Algy Hall, with some help from Ronald Cohen, famed venture capitalist, Peter Toogood, chief investment officer at retirement solutions provider Embark Group and Tom McGillycuddy, co-founder of impact investment app, Tickr.

Caroline was the first person to talk about ESG investing on China Expat Investor and how important that is to her, “as investors we are in a privileged position and we can use that position to make a difference”, apps like Tickr help new or seasoned investors get into ESG investing and earn higher returns. And if you’re buying property, understand your market and “know your exit strategy”.

Tom is the co-founder at Tickr Tom began his career in 2011 in Barclay’s graduate scheme. He spent several years working in their investment division working in both the UK and Hong Kong. In 2014 joined a US investment management firm called Wellington Management where he spent the next 5-years. It was in this role that Tom started working in impact investment. This investing strategy involves investing in companies that are solving problems that are scaleable and the first to market. Every year Tom and his team managed to beat the markets by investing in companies solving real-world problems. During this time Tom and his co-founder started to realise there was no way to invest their money, in the same way, they were doing at work. So in 2016 Tickr was born.

What if you want to help the world and make a great return? What then? Into this gap steps ethical and impact investment. Tom is CEO of Tickr which he […]

Tyler and I crossed paths originally to discuss potential partner opportunities. After seeing a demo of their product I insisted that Tyler shoud jump on the podcast with me as soon as possible. So I made my way to San Francisco, we jumped in a room at WeWork, and had a really wide-ranging conversation. This was a difficult interview to cut down just because we talked about so much. Everything from Tyler's past experience of doing product at Apple and product-managing the initial release of QuickTime to jumping into Tickr and what the problem Tyler solved was and how Tickr ramped so quickly now doubling their customer base every single quarter. We jump into how Tickr is taking data, breaking it out of its silos, harmonizing it and using A.I. to provide companies with a huge amount of insight not only of your companys performance but also insight on how your competitors and market peers are performing as well. I wish we made two or three of these episodes and just combined them into a series. That being said, we were able to distill quite a bit and pack it into this episode. I really hope you enjoy this far-ranging and really really insightful conversation with Tyler Peppel, the founder and CEO of Tickr. Enjoy.

Support the Podcast by doing your shopping on Amazon.com this holiday season!Gift Ideas for Beginner Triathletes: New goggles - Nothing worse than cheap goggles that leak. It's a low cost way to make a big impact on your triathlete. Dave likes the TYR Special Ops 2.0 Transition Goggles http://amzn.to/1l0H17y because they are photochomatic so you only need one pair for indoor/hazy day or outdoor/sunny day. They're only $23.27 a pair right now on Amazon. A good Bike tool - Trust us... they need one. I like the Crank Brothers Multi Bicycle Tool (17-Function). It's 27.99 on Amazon (http://amzn.to/1IsSCRJ) and its small enough to fit in the saddle bag, a jersey pocket or even in the bento box. Bike Trainer - It's the winter and even down in Texas we spend a lot of time on the trainer. CycleOps Mag+ Trainer w/Adjuster would be what I would get if I were buying now. It's on amazon for $175.99. http://amzn.to/1l0GXF2 Gift Ideas for experienced Triathletes: Book - How Bad Do You Want It?: Mastering the Psychology of Mind over Muscle by Matt Fitzgerald (http://amzn.to/1l0IRp7). Almost every athlete I talk to wants to know how to get better with their mental game. Matt's book does that. It's around $15 on Amazon. Coaching - That's right... pop for their coach. If they haven't had one, give them a month or two of coaching to get them started. It should cost between $150 and $500 dependent on the coach and the services they include.  Wahoo Kickr Bike Trainer - This is a computer or smartphone/tablet controlled resistance trainer (http://www.wahoofitness.com/devices/wahoo-kickr-powertrainer.html). This will take your loved one's training to another level. Add a ZWIFT (http://zwift.com/) account and you turn training into a competitive video game. Kickrs are available at your best local bike shop, like Tri Shop and retail for about $1,200. Randy’s Top Holiday Weekend Deals TomTom Multisport - $99.00 33% off (http://amzn.to/1PXiTQ7). If you don’t have a GPS watch and you are on a budget, this is a no brainer.  This model was my first multisport watch and it packs a lot of features-even at the retail price- for the money.  It doesn’t support power meters but has an easy interface and at $99 this is less expensive than some stand alone heart rate monitors and run-only GPS watches.  Note that it doesn’t come with a heart rate strap or monitor but see below Jarv Bluetooth Smart HR Monitor - $30 (http://amzn.to/1jw6XGG) This low cost Bluetooth smart HR monitor will work with your Tomtom devices, iPhones and Androids, and a multitude of other devices.  I haven’t personally tested this device but at $30 and buying through amazon with their liberal return policy, you probably can’t go wrong here if you are looking for a low cost GPS solution.   Garmin Heart Rate Run $40 which is 60% off (http://amzn.to/1jw6ZOK). If you need a replacement for your Garmin devices, I’ve never seen the Garmin HR Run this cheap.   Fenix 3 $100 off Watch and Watch Bundles (http://amzn.to/1PXiPzJ). The latest release of the Fenix 3 includes almost all of the 920’s multisport features and includes a ton of features that any outdoorsman will find useful. Garmin Vivofit GPS Smartwatch $169/199 32% off (http://amzn.to/1PXiM6T). This very capable activity and GPS device will cover most needs with the exception of a full blown multisport mode.  If you’ve already got an Ant + HR monitor then you don’t need to buy the bundle.   Withings Smart Scales $69/$99 Normally $99/$159 (http://amzn.to/1PXiNHY) Randy pulled the trigger on the WS-50 Scale on Friday.  Right now it looks like the WS-50 scales are sold out because Randy can only find them for $149.  He paid $99.  However, the WS-30 is still available at $69 which is the lowest these scales have ever been.  Both scales will sync with Training Peaks, MyFitnessPal, and a cornucopia of other apps.  Connects through your wireless home network.   Wahoo 20% off any 1 item with coupon code TURKEY:  Note, not valid on any trainers, ELEMNT, or RFLKT.  Available on Wahoo’s site.  Ends Sunday, Nov 29th.  Although this doesn’t cover trainers, it will cover the Tickr which is probably the most versatile HR monitor on the market.  Transmitting in both Bluetooth Smart and Ant +, this device can cover all your bases if you have a mix of Garmin and Bluetooth devices such as a 920XT and a Wahoo Kickr or Snap.  I pulled the trigger on this one myself over the weekend.   Training Peaks 25% off annual premium membership (Code: 25ST15) Best Bike Split 35% off annual membership  (Code: PREM35) Cowtown Marathon Races (Code: BF16SATCM $10 off K Races and BF16SUNCM $20 off Marathon distances) Training Over the Holidays Most important thing is to stay moving.  Something is always better than nothing. Now is a really great time to be keying on your areas you need to improve. We'd bet for many of the folks out there strength is an area that they can focus on. Work on your swim technique. These are indoor activities so there isn't any excuse for not doing them. On the bike and run, slow things down. Work Zone 2 (base building efforts now). That will get your aerobic engine finely tuned and will give you a jump start for 2016.  If you are doing an early season A-Race. Get with your coach NOW to get the plan laid out for that. (Galveston example) We've found with everything going on around this time of year waking up and training in the morning is really the only way that I can guarantee that it gets done.
