Today’s Topic: Enjoying the journey instead of stressing over your goals There’s a paradox with highly successful people: The bigger the goal, the bigger their desire, the more stress, anxiety, and unhappiness they have. I’ve dealt with this myself. I have a lot on my plate, and it can be stressful. Kim has been reading these Gabby Bernstein books lately, and this led to me uncovering the challenges I have around goal-setting. And what Gabby introduced me to is the concept of surrender. We’re going to talk about how surrendering control of your goals can not only help you remain happier but maybe even accomplish your goals faster.

After a couple of cocktails, I was laughing my ass off. I don’t know who he is, he’s offensive, but I love him. The following year, I’m in Mykonos, and would you believe I hear the same voice again? A year later, I’m in the Crown Room at JFK, and I see them there again. So who was this guy? His name is Wayne Diamond, known as “the Garmento.” In the 70’s and 80’s he dominated the women’s dresses and jumpsuit market, and made a fortune. As luck would have it, he ran into the Safdie Brothers, who created the new Adam Sandler movie Uncut Gems, and they fell in love with him. There was no controlling this interview, I just laughed and enjoyed the ride, and I’m sure you will too. In This Conversation We Cover:  [8:48] What attracted Wayne to the garment bu

Today’s Topic: My Keto Experiment Keto Guido’s transformation from a pudgy Italian to the guest host of the Chippendales got me pretty excited about keto. However I sort of overlooked that he eats mostly plants and a little bit of fat here and there. I went all in on the fat and didn't know what to eat so I ate nuts until my stomach sort of blew up and cheese until I started developing a puffy face and woke up with snot coming out of my nose because all the cheese created a lot of mucus. I felt incredibly full and satiated, but I was getting fat. In fact, I gained 15 pounds in a month.  So here’s our wrap on what we learned and how I’m eating now. In This Conversation We Cover:  [3:23] My tendency to jump on the high-fat bandwagon [4:07] The transformation of Keto Guido [5:18] What I overlooked about Keto Guido’s diet [6:18] Why “keto” didn’t really work for me [9:09] What I changed + the results [15:15] Why I’ve stopped fasting for now [16:20] What I’m eating throughout the day [18:44] After-dinner snacks +
