    114: Why People Aren’t Listening to You (And How to Change That) | Rob D. Willis

    Have you ever thought, “If I could just explain it better, they’d understand”? I have. But sometimes, the more we explain, the more we lose the person listening. My guest today is Rob D. Willis, a strategic story producer whose background in music production and thousands of walking tours in Berlin taught him how to get people’s attention and keep it. In this conversation, we explore why more facts don’t always change minds, what makes someone want to hear your next sentence, and how to share what you know without overexplaining.  Whether you’re presenting at work, creating content, or trying to get an idea across over dinner, this episode will give you practical ways to make your message clearer and more memorable. Plus, Rob leaves us with a simple storytelling challenge you can try this week.

    Episode Revisited: The Truth About Running, Zone 2 Cardio & Barefoot Shoes | Mark Sisson

    Think running marathons is the secret to longevity and heart health? Think again. Today, I’m joined by Mark Sisson — a pioneer in ancestral health, NYT bestselling author, former elite endurance athlete, founder of Primal Kitchen, and creator of Peluva barefoot shoes. In this episode, we unpack why more cardio isn’t always better, how walking may actually be one of the best things for longevity, fat loss, metabolic health, and joint health, and why chronic endurance training can sometimes leave you feeling more inflamed, depleted, and prone to injury. We also dive into metabolic flexibility, strength training as we age, overtraining and hormones, and the surprising connection between barefoot shoes and better movement — including foot strength, balance, posture, mobility, glute activation, proprioception, and even common issues like bunions, foot pain, and instability as we age. This episode completely shifted the way I think about exercise and what it actually means to train smarter — and I have a feeling it might for you, too.
