Every now and then someone asks me,
‘Have you heard of the Huberman Lab podcast?
It’s one of the most popular in the world now.
Second on the Spotify rankings to Joe Rogan.

And I love to tell people, I’ve met the Doc and he’s a ledge in real life.

Reason is, he’s an advisor at the Flow Genome Project and when I was training with them in 2018 he gave a talk with my mentor Jamie Wheal.

I remember being blown away at how simple he explained his work in the lab and the neuroscience behind his learnings.
Same reason the podcast is so popular now.

Not sure if he’s mentioned it on his podcast…
But one thing I’ll always remember was each year on his birthday he hikes a mountain.
And the kicker — Hedoes one more pushup than the year before.

This is a Frothy Goal and one I know would get him out of bed when he can’t be funked.

Since 2018, and as much as I love learning about the Neuroscience and the functions of it, Youroscience is the winner for me.
