Hello, friends, and welcome back on the podcast. Today I have a very special guest, a return guest, my good friend, Mark Champagne, who is the host of the top 40 ranked podcast behind the human.

I have had the pleasure of being a guest on that show two times, so you can check that out.

He is also the author of The Incredible Book, Personal Socrates.

I highly recommend getting your hands on this book if you

haven't already. It's such an incredible tool for self-reflection. There's a bunch of different

profiles of different people throughout history, some living now, some no longer with us.

We're really at the top of their game in terms of performance and leaving a legacy. And for every

person that has a profile, there is a question that really embodies the way that they thought. And these are really powerful questions that can help us get to the root of anything that might be holding us back or how can we really reach our highest potential. So it's a really incredible resource. It's also a great gift. I love giving that book as a gift. Highly recommend it, but Mark's work,

his podcast, his book, everything he does is all about unpacking the mental fitness practices

and reflection questions that have shaped the lives of some of the most successful and brilliant

thinkers in the world, which we know is totally my jam. I love good questions. I love reflection. And I love optimization. I love productivity. This is why I love energetics because to me

energetics is about human optimization. That's what manifestation is. How do we get more done in less

time? How do we optimize? How do we get more energy? How do we follow flow and alignment?

And we talk about all of that in

today's episode. If you didn't get a chance to listen to the first time Mark was on the show,

that is episode 464. So you can go back and listen to that. Amazing conversation. As always,

I just love chatting with Mark so much. And this conversation was no exception. We unpack more around mental

fitness. We talk about what it's like interviewing some of the top thinkers in the world.

We chat about sleep and mental clarity, focus, keeping curiosity alive, how our paths can lead us to places that we never would have expected,

but are really truly in alignment. So much good stuff in here. Mark is just amazing. I love him.

He's one of the just best humans, one of the best humans, such a beautiful soul and one of my

favorite people in the whole world. So I know you guys are
