What's going on everybody? How you doing? My name is Max Lutavir, a filmmaker health and science journalist, a New York Times best-selling author.

I've dedicated my life to unraveling the science behind our choices, including what we eat

and how we live, affect our cognitive and physical performance, how we feel, our health span,

and our risk for disease. This podcast is all about how to live in that

optimal state which I call living like a genius. On today's episode of the show

well today's a special one for you guys because it's a genius life first. We welcome an astronaut to the show.

Yeah, Mike Masimino is a New York Times best-selling author who served as a NASA

astronaut from 1996 to 2014. He's a four-time spacewalker who completed two missions to the Hubble Space Telescope

including the final Hubble servicing mission which has been called the most dangerous and

complex mission in space shuttle history. He set a team record with his

crew mates for the most cumulative space walking time in a single space shuttle

mission and was also the first person to tweet from space.

No big deal.

He's also a PhD.

He earned that from MIT.

And he's currently a professor at Columbia,

an advisor to the Intrepid Museum.

And he's an expert television commentator and an in-demand keynote speaker.

Love the guy and I had him on the show to discuss a number of super interesting topics, not least of which, including his experiences in space and the impact

that it's had on his life on Earth. He's talking about the beauty of our planet as seen from space and

the camaraderie and problem-solving skills that he had to hone during his time in the space program.
