Intermittent fasting is a hot topic these days, even though it's been around for centuries. Being such a health junkie, I had to look into the research to see why it is making so many headlines and if it is something I should be using as a standard practice in my quest for optimal health. While diving into the research, testing and experiencing the benefits, I learned that there are several reasons anyone who is looking to boost work performance should consider Intermittent Fasting.

Many podcast listeners/friends have asked me what books they should read to become a better leader. The totality of this list is in the hundreds... But for now, let's start with seven.

College athletes have recently asked me "what do you wish you would have known (and done) while in college?" In order to be better prepared for those conversations, I realized I had a few regrets (primarily for not taking action when I had the chance). My goal was to make sure the people I met with knew this so perhaps they wouldn't make the same mistakes.
