Summary

It's been 24 years since the last time I participated in a chess tournament, and it didn't go so well, unfortunately. So I called up Ben Greenfield, a biohacker, nutritionist, physiologist, fitness coach, competitive athlete, and New York Times bestselling author of 13 books, to talk about how to supercharge myself physically and mentally to prepare for my next chess tournament! And this time I want to win! However, the craziest part of this episode is not only all techniques and advice that he gave, but also, he was hiking while we were recording! My new book Skip The Line is out! Make sure you get a copy wherever you get your new book! Join You Should Run For President 2.0 Facebook Group, and we discuss why should run for president.
