If we want to lose weight, the obvious approach is to eat less and ramp up cardio. This actually works pretty well in the short-run. But in the long run, our bodies adapt to the lower food intact, activity level inevitably recedes, and we end up with a maintenance caloric intake lower than where we …
During my latest interview on the Future of Mobility podcast, Ed Olson (CEO and Founder of May Mobility) gave some valuable insight into the way he thinks about appealing to consumers with new technology. Using automated driving as an example, his company doesn’t market their automated driving solution as the cornerstone of their offering, but …
The world was flipped on its head earlier this year. We were forced to stay home. Our everyday lives disappeared, and were replaced with something new. This has gradually begun to reverse.

Since we have these blessings, we brush them off, or don’t even notice them. Like a fish doesn’t notice the water it’s swimming in. Today, why not try to …
The difference between the difficulty of a typical pull-up you see in the gym compared to a true dead hang pull-up that ends with chest-to-bar isn’t a 10% upgrade in difficulty, or even a 50% change. A true dead hang pull-up is closer to 3 or 4 times as hard as an acceptable “normal” pull-up. …
