Sam Corcos shares 3 rules for life

Matt D'avella
About this episode

Today, I'm joined by Sam Corcos, CEO and co founder of Levels, a company helping people better understand their metabolic health through real time data. Sam takes a counterintuitive approach to both work and life. Rejecting the always busy CEO stereotype, he schedules his days for deep focus, while also being very intentional about his media diet. Whether you're an entrepreneur or not, I think you're going to find a lot of value from Sam's rules.
