The Stoic CEO Rez & Shay

Sleep is fundamental to the health and performance of our brain and our body. But what does good quality sleep actually mean? What can we do to ensure we get better sleep? Is the 8 hours rule a myth? Why does digital blue light kill your sleep?

In this episode, we explore the science and culture of sleep and hacks that you can use today to truly improve this most fundamental of daily activities.

Why is it that we’re reading and consuming more than ever, to the point of mental exhaustion, yet feel more and more under-read? Why do we listen to what “influencers” promote and how can that be dangerous?

In this episode we explore why intentionality and critical thinking are the key skills you need for the modern world.

Dopamine is what drives us in everything that we do. But are we in control of it? And what are the effects that social media platforms are having on it? How can we take back control of our strongest primal force and use it to better our lives?

Meditation is repeatedly named as the single most impactful habit to achieving happiness. More so than that, it’s now also preached to be one of the biggest contributing factors to long term business success as well. In this episode, we explore how and why we started meditating, our journey with it so far, and how you can get started today.

Welcome back to The Stoic CEO. In this week’s episode we are talking about designing your space and why that can have such a profound impact on your ability to show up. Topics covered include:

- Using money as potential and avoiding materialism
- Game theory and infinite games
- Having the self awareness of the physical impact that sensory inputs are having in your brain
- Our plans for upgrading our studio environment

This episode is all about utilising constraints for creativity. “Show up and ship the work, not because it’s ready, not because it’s perfect, not because you feel like it. But because it’s Friday. And you promised.”
