Today, we're going to explore biohacking with Dave, the scientific power of fear and forgiveness, why willpower is a sham (you know I'm here for that one!), and morning habits that will change your life.

  • 362: Ian Simkins on Why Grieving Prevents Bitterness, the Invitation to Intimacy, The Distorted Rubric for Readiness (It's Not Charisma), and Why Public Fruit is the Result of Private Formation

    18/10/2023 Duration: 01h11min

    This week, my friend Ian Simkins is back for part two of a conversation we started in the spring. And let me tell you right now: You aren't ready for what's about to go down in this conversation. Ian is such a wise, intentional, deliberate, thoughtful person, and as you'll hear today, we took out the shovels and dug deep. Here's where we're headed with Ian today: why grieving prevents bitterness, the costly invitation to intimacy, and the distorted rubric for readiness in life. In other words, our ability to bring lasting value to the world has little to do with gifting, talent, networking, or charisma. And to that, we're going to explore why public fruit is the result of private formation.
