Conversations with Cory
Episode 1
In this episode, Cory and CJ have a conversation with New York Times bestselling author, and avid adventurer, Steven Kotler. The conversation is mostly about how to get your biology to work for you in these times - not against you. How to get through the mental hurdles we are all facing right now and drive attention to the present moment. Finding 30-90 minutes a day to practice can make a world of difference.

Show Notes:
Three daily practices that can help with mindset, immunity and getting through the age of Covid-19. What you can do for 30 minutes a day to help you find a better mindset.
Gratitude practice. Kotler prefers before going to bed. Writing down 10 things he is grateful for. He dives into why gratitude helps balance out the natural human negative bias that is being fed daily at present. (5 minutes a day)
Breathing and mindfulness. Breath of Fire, the Wim Hoth method, Brian Mackenzie, The Ready State. (10 minutes a day)
Exercise (20 minutes a day)
Important: Media fasting. Do not start your day with the “the emotional Russian roulette” that comes from tuning into the news cycle first thing.
