Highly Optimized

Send us Fan Mail A big part of the Highly Optimized brand is focused upon physical, emotional, mental & spiritual well being. Whether we’re talking about holistic health practices, supplements, biohacks, or otherwise, I have found a deep fascination in not only these topics, but also the others in the world who are also passionate about the same subjects for the entirety of my life & today...

Send us Fan Mail One of my favorite aspects of the life we are all living is the mystery woven into it. From an early age, I was fascinated by the idea of aliens, the paranormal, UFO’s, psychic senses, psychedelics & more & as such, I have been a seeker who’s been looking to explore these mysteries for the better part of half my life at this point & when I first met todays guest, I kne...

Send us Fan Mail As a man, one of the biggest challenges I had in my early years was the courage to put myself out there with potential love interests. I find that many of the men I work with today also share similar challenges. Whether it’s lack of confidence, commitment challenges or otherwise, it’s clear to me that us men have a lot of confusion as a whole as to not only how to find the perfect...

Send us Fan Mail As many of you are aware after listening to this show for some time, my intention for each of these episodes is to bring forth the hero’s journey that we all embark upon in one way or another within our lives. For me, it is the hero’s journey that allows us to view our lives as a movie & todays guest on the show is a man who has not only created an epic movie out of his own he...

Send us Fan Mail I feel it’s safe to say that we are currently living during a very exciting time. With the incredible increase in technology over a very short amount of time that has allowed us to connect with anyone around the world, coupled with the current raising of global consciousness, I personally feel as though I am very fortunate to be alive at this time in history. This being said, alth...

Send us Fan Mail I imagine that everyone tuning into this episode can relate to the notion that for many of us, we seemingly have many passions that might not feel as though they are connected, yet as we continue to move through our lives, the connections between them begin to become clearer. I know this has been my experience in being interested in psychology, spirituality, plant medicines &...

Send us Fan Mail When we think about the idea of human optimization, oftentimes we forget that it’s not just by optimizing one aspect of our lives that we reach this type of optimization, but rather it is by integrating many different aspects of our lives under the umbrella of optimization that can help us achieve this goal. In this vain, when I meet someone who is so amazing at taking one system...

Send us Fan Mail While many of us have grown up believing that money is the most valuable resource, we can see the inaccuracy in that when we realize that the one thing billionaires wish for more of when they are nearing the end of their lives is more time. In that vain, we can recognize that it is actually time that is the most valuable resource, rather than money. For me, I have recognized that...

Send us Fan Mail When we think about the incredible journey of life that we are all experiencing within our individual experiences of life right now, one of the main questions I find myself asking constantly is how to keep the totality of my being feeling on top of the world, purpose driven & hopeful for the future no matter what life decides to throw at me. As such, I am constantly reconfigur...

Send us Fan Mail I imagine every single person listening to this episode right now can think back to times in which they felt stuck or unsure as of where to go in life. Speaking for myself, the times in which I have felt this way have normally been times in which I was applying too much logic & not enough heart to my experience of life. All too often, I find that many people are allowing their...

Send us Fan Mail When we take a good hard look at the world today, it’s easy to see that human beings are being challenged heavily by issues such as anxiety, depression, stress & poor health, all of which correlate to global inflammation in the body. This inflammation that we are seeing rise throughout the world today may be common, however, it is not normal & because so many of us are in...

Send us Fan Mail When it comes to the idea of business, I have come to recognize that the people that are truly successful within this realm frame business as a game & an adventure. As such, these individuals find ways to not only keep business fun, but also excel in finding ways to “hack” the game if you will, both through marketing &, in many cases, helping others learn how to automate t...

Send us Fan Mail For all of you who have been listening to this show for sometime now, you know full well my love & passion for the Cannabis plant. For me, Cannabis was the first teacher in my life that allowed me to question everything I thought I knew about life & the reverberation of that initial teaching has echoed throughout every corner of my life & allowed me to discover my own...

Send us Fan Mail When I created this show, I did so with the intention of showcasing the endless opportunities & possibilities available to anyone, regardless of age, gender or location, when they choose to consciously begin arguing for their possibilities, rather than their limitations. It is my belief that when one can do this, especially in the times that their mind, friends & family &a...

Send us Fan Mail If you’ve been in the realm of self development for even a little while, I am sure you’ve heard mention of things such as manifestation & the law of attraction. When I first heard of these things years back, they sounded too good to be true & so rather than just refute them altogether, I decided to play a game with myself & begin diving into them. Now that it’s almost...

Send us Fan Mail Something that i feel is universal in our world is the notion that we will all inevitably face challenges within our lives. This being said, what separates the individuals that see those challenges as opportunities from the individuals who allow those challenges to become blockades that prevent them from overcoming them? In my experience, this difference rests on not only our mind...

Send us Fan Mail Anyone who has been listening to this show for some time now has heard me speak to my love for organic Cannabis & my passion for helping others learn how to cultivate organic Cannabis in order to foster a deeper connection both with the plant & the earth as a whole. I truly believe that if each of us makes even a one percent effort to do our part in farming our foods &...

Send us Fan Mail When I think about the concept of life, I like to view it through the lens of a game that, similar to other games, there is rules for. This being said, like with most games, once you learn the rules, you can learn how to “break” them, so to speak, to be able to create the experience within that game that allows you to have the most fulfillment & fun possible. Todays guest on t...

Send us Fan Mail Within the vast realm of health, let alone the vast realm of fitness, there are SO many different modalities one can employ to ensure they are staying healthy, fit & mobile as they age. A common misnomer that I see society moving out of in the present day in a big way is the misnomer that the body “breaks down” as we age. In my experience, I have found that the famous saying “...

Send us Fan Mail When it comes to the idea of masculinity, much of the world is mistakenly confusing what true masculine energy is with the immature, boy centered version of this energy we commonly see running amok in todays world. This is, in a big part, due to us losing many of the wise elders & initiatory processes that have been used since the dawn of time to help boys evolve into men with...

Send us Fan Mail When I first began Highly Optimized & selected that name for the business, I was imagining much more than simply optimized health & nutrition & was instead imagining a way of living. A way of living in which an individual can feel truly optimized & balanced in their physical, emotional, mental & spiritual well being. In my own experience, balance between these...
