About this episode

You have likely heard the advice that you should wash brand new clothes before you wear them the first time. Is that true - and if so why? This episode begins by explaining that. https://www.consumerreports.org/cro/news/2010/11/wash-and-then-wear-unwashed-clothes-may-have-formaldehyde/index.htm

The real science of diet and weight loss has come a long way. We now know that it isn’t just about calories in - calories out. Dr. Richard Johnson is on the forefront of research in the area of obesity and diabetes. He is he is a medical doctor, a professor of medicine at the University of Colorado and author of the book, Why Nature Wants Us to Be Fat - The Surprising Science Behind Why We Gain Weight and How We Can Prevent - and Reverse It. (https://amzn.to/3tXHbCF). When you hear what he has to say, it will likely change the way you view your diet, how you eat and when you eat.

We usually smile when we are happy. But did you know smiling can cause you to be happy and, more importantly, healthy! Listen as I explain why. https://www.verywellmind.com/top-reasons-to-smile-every-day-2223755

You have probably heard that one thing that makes for a great idea is to make it “scalable.” What does that mean? How do you scale an idea? And if an idea isn’t scalable, can it still be great? John List is an economist (formerly with Lyft) who explains how ideas scale - or don’t. He also explains how great ideas sometimes have to pivot to be successful. John is author of the book The Voltage Effect: How to Make Good Ideas Great and Great Ideas Scale (https://amzn.to/3K3cCkT). He joins me to share some great examples of ideas that could and could not scale and how he used the concept at Lyft.
