#11 How Light and Sound Rewire Your Brain for Better Sleep | Dr. Patrick Porter
The most successful people I know aren’t the ones who grind 24/7, they’re the ones who understand that rest is a competitive advantage. Dr. Patrick Porter’s research with Microsoft and Google programmers revealed something that completely changed my perspective: when top performers took just 20 minutes for a “brain break” at 2 PM, they produced 26% more work and saw their sleep improve 47%, happiness increase 54%, and work-life balance improve over 80%. Now, I realize that our brains need deep delta sleep to clean themselves through the glial lymphatic system, and without it, we’re running on fumes while thinking we’re being productive.  Connect with Dr. Patrick Porter: Get Dr. Patrick Porter’s book, “BrainTap: Unlock the Secret to a Stress-Free Life in 3 Simple Steps“ here: https://bit.ly/4fBiVg7    Listen to "BrainFitness Podcast with Dr. Patrick Porter" on all your favorite platforms!

#10 Cole Kosco: The Truth About Fast Food and Weight Loss
The hardest conversation I ever had was when a coach looked me in the eye and said, “You’re not good enough,” — but for Cole Kosco, former college athlete turned fitness influencer, that moment became his greatest gift. Despite having pro-athlete genetics (his grandfather replaced Mickey Mantle), Cole didn’t make it to the big leagues, yet he told me this was the best thing that ever happened to him. As he puts it, “The second you point your finger outward, you lose all power. Point at yourself, and you control the outcome.” His competitive drive didn’t disappear, it just found a new arena in content creation and entrepreneurship. Sometimes, our greatest setbacks are simply preparation for something better we couldn’t have imagined.  Connect with Cole Kosco: Website: https://bit.ly/3GYBZrS  YouTube: https://bit.ly/46L0YJv  Instagram: https://bit.ly/3UV3Egl  TikTok: https://bit.ly/3HnDzDA  Facebook: https://bit.ly/41tSbIk  LinkedIn: https://bit.ly/4m3R9en  TIMESTAMPS: 00:00 Intro 00:26 Cole Kosco’s Back Story 07:27 Transitioning from Sports to Entrepreneurship 09:13 Eating in Moderation (including Fast Food) 13:22 Launch and Objectives of His New App (Menufit) 16:39 Goal-Setting Philosophy 29:38 Mindfulness Practices 33:30 Cole’s Research-Based Social Media Content 40:17 Focusing on the Importance of Health  47:17 Benefits of Having Quality Sleep 51:23 Advice to His Younger Self 57:50 Staying Grounded 1:00:07 Connect with Cole Watch the “Cryocon: Business of Wellness Podcast” every Thursday at 8 AM EST on YouTube:  https://bit.ly/3UAa5p4  Connect with David Guttman Website: https://bit.ly/4jclYvK Instagram: https://bit.ly/4iARMe9 TikTok: https://bit.ly/3P19NVm Facebook: https://bit.ly/49CQjQx X: https://bit.ly/4gH28aR LinkedIn: https://bit.ly/3Bx7Tc2 SUBSCRIBE TO: https://www.youtube.com/@OfficialDavidGuttman Download the “David Guttman Podcast” on all your favorite podcast platforms: Spotify: ​​https://spoti.fi/3VE3fzV Apple Podcasts: https://bit.ly/3VLzm0v

#9 Marcus Wilson: Why Recovery Therapy Is a Must in the Wellness Space
2025 CINA Lifetime Achievement Award and CEO of CryoBuilt Marcus Wilson shared his impactful entrepreneurial journey in this episode. His breakthrough wasn't technology, it was realising people don’t buy equipment, they buy outcomes. When he shifted from transactional sales to building systems that ensure his customers’ long-term success, everything changed. His company now has 500+ locations because he chose relationships over quick wins. Sometimes, the most profound business lesson is the simplest: prioritise the success of those you serve, and your own success becomes inevitable.  Connect with Marcus Wilson: Website: http://bit.ly/4lWEcmP  Website: https://bit.ly/40JuUlt  Instagram: https://bit.ly/477V1Xb  Facebook: https://bit.ly/4fc5C5n  LinkedIn: bit.ly/3U1fLbw  X: https://bit.ly/4lfkku4  Timestamps: 00:00 Intro 01:22 Marcus Wilson’s Back Story 05:47 CryoBuilt’s Organisational Team 07:16 Working with His Father 09:54 Service-Based Recurring Revenue Model 12:41 Benefits of Cryotherapy 17:37 Recommended Duration of Cryotherapy 19:33 Cryotherapy in the Fitness Industry 22:37 Parenting Philosophy 25:29 Connect with Marcus and CryoBuilt Watch the “Cryocon: Business of Wellness Podcast” every Thursday at 8 AM EST on YouTube:  https://bit.ly/3UAa5p4  Connect with David Guttman: Website: https://bit.ly/4jclYvK Instagram: https://bit.ly/4iARMe9 TikTok: https://bit.ly/3P19NVm Facebook: https://bit.ly/49CQjQx X.com: https://bit.ly/4gH28aR LinkedIn: https://bit.ly/3Bx7Tc2 SUBSCRIBE TO: https://www.youtube.com/@OfficialDavidGuttman Download the “David Guttman Podcast” on all your favorite podcast platforms: Spotify: ​​https://spoti.fi/3VE3fzV Apple Podcasts: https://bit.ly/3VLzm0v

#8 Dr. Adam Boender: How to Reverse Aging with Peptide and Hormone Therapy
Dr. Adam Boender shattered a big health myth: that more effort always equals better results. He transitioned from running (and breaking his hip) to 20-25 minutes of incline walking — and became leaner than ever, with an 8.5% body fat. His wisdom on peptides and regenerative medicine follows the same principle: precise, targeted interventions over brute force approaches.

Tim now uses AI to track patterns in his blood work and journals, creating a personalised health coach that notices connections doctors miss.

#5 Griff Long: Why ‘People, Process, Performance’ Beat Shareholder Value Every Time
The best leaders I know have one surprising trait — they intentionally surround themselves with people smarter than them. Griff Long, President of Upgrade Labs, shared something very valuable: he measures his success not by income, but by how many people he’s influenced. His proudest moment? Getting a letter 10 years later from an employee who said, “You believed in me,” — she’s now Chief of Staff for California’s Treasury. The real question isn’t how much you know, it’s how much you help others discover what they’re capable of.  Connect with Griff Long: Website: https://bit.ly/3TlhU1i Instagram: https://bit.ly/4kgc505 Facebook: https://bit.ly/44Kdwzo LinkedIn: https://bit.ly/3TmlqbW Timestamps: 00:00: Intro 00:30: Griff Long’s Professional and Wellness Journey 02:30: Ironman Triathlon Experience 09:11: Working with Dave Asprey 12:32: People-First Leadership Style 14:56: Empowering Team Members 17:12: Impact of Mentorship 23:12: Best Pieces of Business Advice 29:07: How Upgrade Labs Work? 35:29: Hiring: Top Qualities to Look Out For 38:07: Connect with Griff Watch the “CRYOCON Podcast: The Business of Wellness ” every Tuesday at 8 AM EST on YouTube: https://bit.ly/3ZGK2yv Connect with David Guttman: Website: https://bit.ly/4jclYvK Instagram: https://bit.ly/4iARMe9 TikTok: https://bit.ly/3P19NVm Facebook: https://bit.ly/49CQjQx X.com: https://bit.ly/4gH28aR LinkedIn: https://bit.ly/3Bx7Tc2 SUBSCRIBE TO: https://www.youtube.com/@OfficialDavidGuttman Download the “David Guttman Podcast” on all your favorite podcast platforms: Spotify: ​​https://spoti.fi/3VE3fzV Apple Podcasts: https://bit.ly/3VLzm0v

#4 Mark Murdock: The Servant Leadership Secret That Built 9 All-Americans
Some of the greatest leaders are the ones who fail spectacularly and have the courage to rebuild themselves from the ground up. In this conversation with Mark Murdock, one of the original pioneers in the cryotherapy and biohacking industry, he tells his journey from being a successful basketball coach to letting pride creep in, and everything falls apart. He shares the exact moment his paradigm shifted from serving his players to serving his own ambitions, leading to two devastating losing seasons and damaged relationships with his family. More importantly, he reveals the vulnerable conversation that turned everything around and the leadership principles that not only saved his coaching career, but now drive his success in the wellness technology space.  Connect with Mark Murdock: Website: https://bit.ly/3TEHluS  YouTube: https://bit.ly/3TIAQam  Instagram: https://bit.ly/45GoUx7  Facebook: https://bit.ly/3TJ5Oz6  LinkedIn: https://bit.ly/4nkeObv  Timestamps: 00:00 Intro 00:59 Experience with Cryotherapy 03:16 Entrepreneurial Background 08:38 Servant Leadership 10:36 The Value of Competitiveness 15:48 Letting Children Struggle 19:03 Coaching and Motivation 26:49 The 80-20 Rule 29:01 Unhealthy Food Supply 33:11 New Technology 37:45 Importance of Conferences 40:30 What You Want Your Kids to Say to You in the Future Watch the “CRYOCON PODCAST: BUSINESS OF WELLNESS” every Tuesday at 8 AM EST on YouTube: https://bit.ly/3ZGK2yv Connect with David Guttman: Website: https://bit.ly/4jclYvK Instagram: https://bit.ly/4iARMe9 TikTok: https://bit.ly/3P19NVm Facebook: https://bit.ly/49CQjQx X.com: https://bit.ly/4gH28aR LinkedIn: https://bit.ly/3Bx7Tc2 SUBSCRIBE TO: https://www.youtube.com/@OfficialDavidGuttman Download the “CRYOCON PODCAST: BUSINESS OF WELLNESS” on all your favorite podcast platforms: Spotify: ​​https://spoti.fi/3VE3fzV Apple Podcasts: https://bit.ly/3VLzm0v
