Wellness has become a full-time job. Cold plunges. Red light panels. Supplements. Glucose monitors. Smart rings. Watches. New powders, protocols, influencers, and optimization trends arriving every week. With so much information coming from every direction, getting healthy can start to feel so complicated that people become overwhelmed before they even begin. In this solo episode of the SuperLife Podcast, Darin strips wellness back to the five fundamentals he believes do the most work: sleep, light, movement, real food, and human connection. After decades studying exercise physiology, nutrition, kinesiology, movement, superfoods, and longevity cultures around the world, Darin says his own approach to health has become simpler than ever. The message is simple: supplements, wearables, and biohacking tools can have value, but they aren't the foundation. They're the paint and furniture. Sleep, light, movement, food, and connection are the foundation holding the house up. Darin walks through the research behind each fundamental and, more importantly, gives you something practical you can begin doing tomorrow. From consistent sleep and morning sunlight to one-minute movement bursts, eating recognizable whole foods, and spending actual face-to-face time with people you love, this episode is a recalibration for anyone drowning in wellness advice. You don't need to optimize everything. Start by getting the basics right. What You'll Learn Why wellness has become unnecessarily complicated and anxiety-inducing The five fundamentals Darin believes matter most for long-term health Why sleep consistency may matter as much as how many hours you get How bright days and dark nights help support your body's natural rhythms Why you don't need a gym to meaningfully increase daily movement How small bursts of vigorous activity can add up throughout the day Why ultra-processed food can make it easier to consume more without realizing it How adding more whole plants can naturally crowd out less nutritious foods Why human connection belongs alongside sleep, movement, and nutrition Five simple actions you can begin tomorrow without buying another health gadget The 5 Fundamentals 1. Sleep Darin's first principle is simple: be boring with your sleep. He discusses research suggesting that sleep regularity is meaningfully associated with health outcomes and explains why maintaining a consistent wake time can help reinforce the body's circadian rhythm. SuperLife Upgrade: Pick one wake time and keep it seven days a week. Make your bedroom cool, dark, and quiet, limit late caffeine and large meals, and reduce unnecessary technology around your sleep environment. 2. Light Your biology evolved around bright days and dark nights, but modern life has largely reversed that relationship. Darin discusses research connecting daytime and nighttime light exposure with mental health outcomes and explains why getting outdoors early in the day is one of his foundational practices. SuperLife Upgrade: Get outside within the first hour after waking. Take your morning coffee or tea outside, walk the dog, or simply spend a few minutes under the morning sky before checking your messages. 3. Movement You don't need a perfect workout program to start moving more. Darin discusses research on short bursts of vigorous activity and explains why walking, carrying, climbing, squatting, stretching, and occasionally breathing hard can all be incorporated into normal life. SuperLife Upgrade: Think in terms of "exercise snacks." Take the stairs, walk after eating, stand up regularly, carry something heavy, play hard with your kids or dog, or find a few moments throughout the day to deliberately move. 4. Real Food Darin breaks down research comparing ultra-processed and minimally processed diets and explains why his nutrition philosophy keeps returning to a straightforward principle: eat food your great-grandmother would recognize. SuperLife Upgrade: Make real, minimally processed food the majority of what you eat. Add more vegetables, fruits, beans, nuts, seeds, herbs, and spices, aim for greater plant diversity, and slow down while eating. 5. Connection The final fundamental may be one of the most overlooked. Darin discusses research linking strong social relationships with longevity and argues that human beings can optimize their food, sleep, and training while still being starved for genuine connection. SuperLife Upgrade: Call someone instead of texting them. Share a phone-free meal. Walk with a friend. Join a recurring group. Volunteer. Help someone. Spend time face-to-face with people who matter to you.

There's always another powder, gadget, supplement, wearable, protocol, or person online telling you that you're doing everything wrong. But none of those things can replace the foundation. Sleep. Light. Movement. Real food. Connection. That's the house. Everything else is paint and furniture. If your foundation is cracked, the most expensive optimization in the world isn't going to hold you up. So before you buy another gadget or chase another trend, come back to what your biology has always needed. Sleep consistently. Get outside. Move your body. Eat real food. Spend time with people you love. Health doesn't have to become another full-time job. Sometimes the most powerful thing you can do is return to the basics." Bibliography/Sources: 1. Sleep Windred, D.

We're joined by Andy from Andy's Watches, one of the most recognizable voices in the watch-collecting world on TikTok and Instagram. We first met Andy almost by accident at Geneva... The post Scottish Watches Podcast #819 : Andy's Watches Talks About Life, Watches And Following Your Passion appeared first on Scottish Watches.

THE EMN DAILY NEWS | Thursday, 1 October 2026The OverviewFlood watches across Texas and Oklahoma; FY27 starts on a CRFlood watches cover southern Oklahoma and much of north and central Texas today as the remnants of Hurricane Polo move across the region, with flash flood warnings overnight around Wichita Falls and a watch running through Friday evening over the Hill Country counties still in Public Assistance recovery from the July floods. Fiscal year 2027 opens on a continuing resolution that runs through December 11, holding agencies at fiscal 2026 levels and permitting up to $26.37 billion for the Disaster Relief Fund. The national preparedness level holds at 2 with 58 incidents and 4,826 personnel, down 574 in a day, with no new large fires. Year-to-date fire counts were adjusted sharply upward to 62,218, moving the season from 124 to 134 percent of the ten-year average. Dome in Yosemite National Park reached 39 percent contained as a second California team mobilizes. For great insight from leading emergency managment professionals, visit EM Network on Substack. KEY TAKEAWAYSOklahoma and north Texas: The Norman forecast office holds a flood watch until 1 p.m. today for 25 Oklahoma counties and five northern Texas counties, with 2 to 4 inches likely and local amounts to 6 inches. Flash flood warnings ran overnight for Wichita Falls, Burkburnett, Iowa Park and Sheppard Air Force Base after 1 to 3 inches fell in short order.Central Texas: The Fort Worth office carries a flood watch through Friday morning across north central Texas, including Dallas, Denton, Collin and McLennan counties, with 2 to 3 inches widespread and localized totals to 5 inches. The Austin and San Antonio office holds a watch until 7 p.m. Friday for Hill Country counties including Kerr, Bandera, Uvalde, Real, Edwards, Gillespie and Kendall, all of which carry open Public Assistance from the July declaration.Fiscal year: Agencies begin fiscal 2027 under the Continuing Appropriations and Extensions Act, signed September 2, which funds the government through December 11 at prior-year levels. The measure permits up to $26.37 billion for the Disaster Relief Fund, with obligations charged against fiscal 2027 appropriations rather than treated as supplemental. Under a continuing resolution, agencies cannot start programs, projects or activities that were not already funded and active, which constrains new grant starts until a full-year bill passes.Get ready, Long Beach! Join emergency management professionals from across the country and around the world for the IAEM 74th Annual Conference & EMEX, November 9-11, 2026, and experience three incredible days of big ideas, new connections, innovation, and the people shaping the future of emergency management. We'll see you in Long Beach!Wildfire posture: Preparedness Level 2 with 58 incidents, 14 uncontained large fires, 1,641,606 acres and 4,826 personnel, a drop of 574, per the Wednesday situation report. Initial attack was light, with 91 fires and no new large incidents; one large fire was contained, and five complex teams were committed. The Northwest, Northern California and Southern Area each released more than 220 people in a single operational period.Reporting adjustment: Year-to-date fires rose from 57,521 to 62,218 in one reporting cycle, almost entirely in the Southern Area, which moved from 28,661 to 33,302. That shifts the season from 124 to 134 percent of the ten-year average for fire counts. The situation report attributes such changes to mapping or reporting adjustments rather than new activity, and a similar acreage swing last week reversed within days.California: Dome in Yosemite National Park grew 151 acres to 5,410 and jumped to 39 percent contained, up from 31, with 932 personnel and California Team 4 mobilizing. Costs stand at $24 million. Plaskett on the Los Padres National Forest is fully contained, and Timber holds at 88 percent with numerous structures still threatened.Northwest: Eight uncontained large fires and 2,186 personnel, down 239. Command on Little Giant transfers from Northwest Team 13 to Northwest Team 12 today, with the fire at 93 percent contained and structures still threatened. Sisi near Stehekin nearly doubled containment to 29 percent, with residences threatened.Recovery calendar: SBA physical damage deadlines for the September 1 public assistance declarations close November 1 in Colorado and South Dakota and November 2 in Missouri and Texas, with economic injury applications open to June 1, 2027. Texas recently added Grimes, Live Oak, McMullen and Schleicher counties for Public Assistance, and its Individual Assistance request covering 30 counties remains pending.Fire weather: Breezy northerly winds in the Sacramento Valley and southern California ease this morning, but relative humidity of 10 to 15 percent persists with above-normal temperatures. In the southern Plains, breezy south winds of 10 to 18 miles per hour and minimum humidity of 25 to 35 percent create locally elevated conditions.SOURCESTexas and Oklahoma floodingNWS Norman: Flood Watch for 25 Oklahoma counties and five northern Texas counties, issued Oct 1 at 1:41 a.m. CDT until 1 p.m. CDThttps://govonestop.com/nws/oklahoma-texas-severe-flood-watch-effective-09302026-2341NWS Norman: Flash Flood Warning for Wichita County, Texas, issued Oct 1 at 2:57 a.m. CDThttps://govonestop.com/nws/texas-severe-flash-flood-warning-effective-10012026-0057NWS Norman: Flash Flood Warning for southeastern Archer and southern Clay counties, issued Oct 1 at 1:45 a.m. CDThttps://www.defconlevel.com/alert/2026-10-01-nws-noaa-weather-flash-flood-warning-issued-october-1-at-1-45am-cdt-until-october-1-at-4-45am-cdt-by-nws-norman-okNWS Fort Worth: Flood Watch through Friday morning for north central Texas, issued Sept 30 at 2:26 p.m. CDThttps://govonestop.com/nws/texas-severe-flood-watch-effective-09302026-1226NWS Austin/San Antonio: Flood Watch until 7 p.m. Oct 2 for Hill Country counties, issued Sept 30 at 9:52 p.m. CDThttps://govonestop.com/nws/texas-severe-flood-watch-effective-09302026-1952Federal fundingWhite House: H.R. 6500, Continuing Appropriations and Extensions Act, 2027, signed Sept 2, funding agencies through Dec 11https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefings-statements/2026/09/congressional-bill-h-r-6500-signed-into-law/Congressional Research Service summary via Legis1: $26.37 billion permitted for the Disaster Relief Fund under the continuing resolutionhttps://legis1.com/news/fy2027-continuing-resolution-funds-agenciesOffice of the Texas Governor: four additional counties approved for Public Assistance, Individual Assistance request pendinghttps://gov.texas.gov/news/post/governor-abbott-announces-approval-of-federal-disaster-assistance-for-four-additional-counties-following-summer-storms-and-floodingWildfire, nationalNICC Incident Management Situation Report and Predictive Services discussion: Wednesday, Sept 30, 2026, 0730 MDT (live PDF, overwritten daily).

The guys discuss breakfast, music, and....... Watches! Did Hublot really make the worst watch ever created, again?? Another interview from the past threatens to derail the entire subject genre of the podcast.

Formex holds a unique place in the Swiss watch industry. The brand was born in the early 2000s with a proprietary case suspension system and designs that expressed the origins of its name 'forme extrême' (extreme shapes in French). But the recession spurred by the Global Financial Crisis of 2008 dealt a near fatal blow to the brand and it entered a period of relative dormancy.Then in 2016, Formex was taken over by a group backed by one of its suppliers, Dexel, a Swiss component maker specializing in bracelets, clasps and cases as well as dials at its subsidiary Cadranor. Raphael Granito, now in his mid-thirties, is part of the family business behind Dexel and led the take over and revival of the Formex marque. He has steered the brand's development ever since and a decade later, Formex is leveraging its manufacturing savoir-faire and research and development skills from Dexel to produce innovative and approachable-priced Swiss Made watches. The brand evolution culminated recently with the Aria, a high-end integrated bracelet titanium sport watch with an, ultra-thin, micro-rotor manufacture movement designed by Horage, priced below CHF 6,000. That's a significant step up compared to the CHF 1,800 average price point for its watches. Granito outlines how the brand has grown and connected with more customers, operating mainly outside the traditional retail structure. Still a family business, he hired his best friend from university to lead marketing and sales efforts. Formex has distinguished itself offering upscale finishing and components, including cases, bracelets innovative clasps and stone dials that include meteorite options. It's approach to design and engineering innovation, that Granito calls 'designeering,' has certainly struck a chord with a watch enthusiasts, particularly in the U.S., now the Swiss brand's largest market.

This week on the SUPERLATIVE Podcast, host and aBlogtoWatch founder, Ariel Adams, is joined by Lilian Thibault, founder of AWAKE Watches. They discuss the evolution of AWAKE and how the brand found its identity by embracing Métiers d'Art, traditional craftsmanship, and a more focused creative direction. Lilian explains why launching a watch brand may be easier than ever, while building one that lasts has become increasingly difficult. He also shares how AWAKE's handmade dials and use of techniques such as Vietnamese Son Mài lacquer have helped the brand offer collectors something distinctive at a more accessible price point.Ariel and Lilian also explore why watches have become expressions of personality and emotion, the freedom founder-led brands have to take creative risks, and why AWAKE has no ambition to become a high volume watch company. They discuss the growing appeal of independent brands, changing collector attitudes toward resale value, and the importance of creating a more personal relationship between brands and their customers. Lilian also explains how AWAKE searches around the world for talented artisans, why great craftsmanship is not defined by where it comes from, and how the brand plans to bring greater sophistication to its watches while remaining committed to Métiers d'Art and accessible pricing.Keep up with Lilian and AWAKE Watches:Website - https://awakewatches.com/ Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/awake.concept/ SUPERLATIVE IS NOW ON YOUTUBE!

THE BEST BITS IN A SILLIER PACKAGE (from Monday's Mike Hosking Breakfast) The Truman Hosk/Where's My Bribe?/Kids Can't Vote/The Knife Should've Been a GiveawaySee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Who thought putting Flock surveillance cameras to monitor traffic coming into the parking lots at the Pentagon was a good idea? We understand why the War Department would want to know who's trying to get close to the headquarters of the United States military, but the Pentagon already has procedures in place for restricting access to its parking lots. Why did it contract out to Flock for AI powered license plate readers? Security experts have point pointed out that Flock's system is not the most secure, with one expert claiming it can be hacked in under 30 seconds. Consider that Israel was able to eliminate Ayatollah Khameini on day one of its war with Iran because Mossad hacked the traffic cameras in Tehran. Now, imagine what a bad actor could do with a database of license plates regularly coming and going from the Pentagon parking lots. We also discussed the spiritual forces at work in the kerfuffle around Ed Sheeran's tour. If you missed it, one of his opening acts, the white rapper Macklemore, was fired for using his time during a concert in Philadelphia three weeks ago to spout pro Palestinian propaganda. Pressure was put on Sheeran to condemn Israel. His weak apology, trying to please both pro and anti-Israel supporters, made everybody unhappy. We live in an age where no one will be allowed to be neutral on the subject of Israel. Sadly, some of the loudest voices condemning Jews for being Jews come from professing Christians. In our view, these will cheer for the Antichrist when he leads the world to war against Israel. And we discuss Ukraine's president Volodomyr Zelenskyy's claim Friday that President Trump has authorized Ukraine to build Patriot missiles. This has not been confirmed by the White House, but if true, it's another step closer to World War 3. We're asking for your help to Build Bunker Better!

Today's guest, Matt Oosthuizen, is one of the co-founders of Apiar, a UK-based watch brand that's the result of a passion not just for watches, but for experimenting with new technologies. Apiar, which debuted in 2023, is literally built different. Rather than following the traditional path, Apiar leans into additive manufacturing. With cases and dials printed using 3D technology, Apiar makes designs that couldn't be achieved through traditional methods, and as Oosthuizen notes, it's a constantly evolving process as Apiar grows and the technology itself develops. Beyond the innovation, Apier strives to use UK-based suppliers, resulting in watches quite unlike anything else out there. Before chatting to Oosthuizen, Andy and Felix chat about IWC's anniversary Ingenieur and Chopard's Happy Diamonds.

This week on The Business of Watches, we sit down with the business leader who has headed the reborn Czapek & Cie. brand for more than a decade now. Xavier de Roquemaurel didn't come from the watch industry when he co-founded Czapek with fellow entrepreneur Harry Guhl with help from watchmaker Sébastien Follonier in 2015. He's had to learn the industry on the job and while Czapek burst on the scene by winning the Grand Prix d'Horlogerie de Genève (GPHG) Public Prize in its debut year in 2016, the company and de Roquemaurel have faced plenty of challenges along the way. From the novel financing and shareholder model they created to fund the startup, to reckoning with a massive surge of back orders for their popular Antarctique integrated bracelet sports watch model during the boom times of the post-pandemic era, as well as serious health and medical ordeals. Reconsidering all the tests he and the company have faced, de Roquemaurel says he now believes that "adversity gets the best out of you." Today, Czapek has just opened a new boutique on the historic Quai des Bergues in Geneva on the same banks of the Rhone river where François Czapek himself had his first atelier in the 1800s. In a wide ranging interview, the Czapek CEO traces both the path of the reborn brand and how it has found inspiration in the legacy of the watchmaker that opened what is believed to be the first watch boutique on Place de Vendome in Paris while producing timepieces for Napoleon III and the French Imperial court. Stay tuned to the end for a preview of what complication the brand might take on next.

When it comes to vintage watches, few brands have as much depth as Rolex. Over more than a century, the company has produced an enormous range of models, references, and variations that have become firmly established among collectors. From tool watches built for specific purposes to understated everyday models, there's plenty to explore beyond the obvious choices. In this episode of Fratello Talks, Nacho, Jorg, and Max discuss their favorite vintage Rolex models. Each has selected two watches that stand out due to their design, history, collectibility, and simply how much they enjoy them. The vintage Rolex catalog has plenty of familiar names, but it's interesting to see what references the guys gravitate toward. If you want to find out which watches made the cut, tune in!

This week on The Business of Watches, a veteran watch industry CEO who is taking on one of the biggest and most demanding challenges of his storied career. Julien Tornare is the head of Hublot, the irreverent and ground-breaking brand controlled by LVMH that's trying to reclaim some of its former glory and role as a trend-setter in industry innovation. An affable and talented business leader, Tornare has spent almost three decades in the watch world, with Vacheron Constantin and Richemont, and then as the chief executive of Zenith, where he oversaw a dramatic revival and upswing for the El Primero maker. He then had a brief tenure as the CEO of TAG Heuer, before joining Hublot as the big boss in 2024. Tornare talks about Hublot's turbulent journey over the past four decades, and the spirit that's reflected in the brand's unconventional and outspoken ambassadors. He also takes on the marque's critics, making the case for why the YouTuber shots are largely unjustified. As for where Hublot is going, that's partly where it has been, as Tornare discusses the influence of Hublot's Italian founder Carlo Crocco as the company reconsiders its legacy ahead of its 50th anniversary in 2030. There's also news of a major new partnership with legendary American artist Jeff Koons, who is bringing his artistic vision to the watch brand for the first time with a series of bold collaborations. We also discuss the role that Jean Arnault, long considered the true watch enthusiast in the Arnault clan, now has with the brand.

September 16, 2026: I look at Anthropic's push for independent AI evaluators and why its preferred watchdog, METR, raises questions about conflicts, trust, and regulatory capture.

Finally, I unpack Mark Zuckerberg's argument that lawsuits, customers, competition, and trust may do more to keep AI companies careful than a forced industry slowdown.

This week on The Business of Watches, a fresh take on the new releases we saw at Geneva Watch Days and what they might mean for the market. Ahead of a special request summer fondue dinner, Tim, TanTan and Andy discuss what they saw, what they liked and didn't from the slew of novelties presented during the event. We go deep into the debut of Gallet, discussing how the entry-level offering from Breitling's House of Brands will stack up against the competition and how it will re-enter the company into the cut-throat $3,000 to $6,000 price category at a time when the Swiss industry is struggling to halt the slide in volumes. We also talk Bulgari, Oris, Frederique Constant, Girard-Perregaux, MB&F and the latest MADEditions, and why, when it comes to Doxa, you can't have just one. Plus, what the return of a new Northflag (now one word) heralds for Tudor.
