EPISODE 28
Jason and Kevin dig into why health isn’t a solo sport—and how founders can extend their “work span” by prioritizing community, shared rituals, and better device hygiene. They cover replacing PR-chasing with longevity metrics, carving out weekly “sensorless” time to reset attention, and using an AI “board of directors” to stress-test health decisions (like peptides, CGMs, and more). Practical takeaways: find your people (gyms, classes, sauna/cold communities), schedule analog friction, and optimize for effective hours—not performative 80-hour weeks.
