b"This week's conversation is about performance. More specifically, it is about the ins and outs of steady progress and growth. My guest is Brad Stulberg who coauthored the book Peak Performance, which combines research from many fields into a description of how athletes, creatives and others continue to push boundaries in their respective crafts.\\n As someone who is intermittently lazy, the growth equation framework that Brad and I explore has impacted me often since I first read the book several months ago. I hope you enjoy this conversation, which isn't about investing, but which is, at its heart, still about the power of compounding.\\xa0\\n \\xa0\\n Books Referenced\\n Outliers: The Story of Success\\n Peak: Secrets from the New Science of Expertise\\n \\xa0\\n Online References\\n Jool Health\\n \\xa0\\n Show Notes\\n 1:32 \\u2013 (First question) \\u2013 How Vick Stretcher influenced the book, Peak Performance\\n 4:32 \\u2013 Looking at some of the preliminary research at the science of purpose\\n 7:58 \\u2013 The idea of a growth equation and the components that can lead to success\\n 11:47 \\u2013 How the introduction of stress can help in all sorts of creative and entrepreneurial pursuits.\\n 13:39 \\u2013 The ratio between physical and mental as an impact on this formula\\n 14:56 \\u2013 Just manageable challenges and the role that they play in the growth equation\\n 18:06 \\u2013 The idea of just manageable challenges through the example of an athlete\\n 22:19 \\u2013 Favorite example of a crazy feat of physical performance, stress on older athletes operating at high levels\\n 23:30 \\u2013 Thoughts about outside influences like mentors/coaches and how they help high performance individuals advance\\n 25:51 \\u2013 Describe catabolic and anabolic states and why anabolic is so important\\n 29:13 \\u2013 How the relationship of catabolic and anabolic states also helps the mind\\n 30:47 \\u2013 How does the idea of practice play into the growth equation\\n 32:49 \\u2013 Exploring the nuances of practice and why you don\\u2019t go all out\\n \\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0 32:56 \\u2013 Outliers: The Story of Success\\n 33:00 - Peak: Secrets from the New Science of Expertise\\n 34:24 \\u2013 The idea of designing of a day\\n 42:06 \\u2013 What role can environment play on us\\n 43:40 \\u2013 How far is it healthy to run\\n 46:25 \\u2013 How does ego play into all of this\\n 48:06 \\u2013 The idea of camaraderie and study of Air Force Cadets highlighting this\\n 49:28 \\u2013 Fatigue and why it is believed to happen in the mind and not the body\\n 54:00 \\u2013 Most memorable day\\n 55:43 - Method for finding purpose\\n \\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0 56:29 \\u2013 Jool Health\\n 58:26 \\u2013 Kindest thing anyone has ever done for Brad\\n \\xa0\\n Learn More\\n For more comprehensive show notes on this episode go to http://investorfieldguide.com/brad\\n For more episodes go to InvestorFieldGuide.com/podcast.\\n To get involved with Project Frontier, head to InvestorFieldGuide.com/frontier.\\n Sign up for the book club, where you\\u2019ll get a full investor curriculum and then 3-4 suggestions every month at InvestorFieldGuide.com/bookclub.\\n Follow Patrick on Twitter at @patrick_oshag"
