Summary

Chris starts off the show with Adam reporting the news, beginning with the death of Irish singer Sinead O’Connor. We also view an odd video of Mitch McConnell freezing mid speech during a press conference which leads to a discussion on age and careers. Lastly, we discover how Florida water temperatures reached 100 degrees. Adam welcomes Actor & Author Ben McKenzie to discuss all things crypto, which Ben pinpoints as, “The greatest ponzi scheme in history”. Only a small percentage of crypto is real money, and a whopping 80% of people in the US never even dabbled in the crypto arena. Adam next welcomes Dr. Greg Hammer who is a physician, a professor at Stanford University School of Medicine as well as an author. Dr. Hammer shares two specific types of happiness that people experience in life, and additionally he shares that in his professional career he's never seen such stressors before as he has the last several years affecting humanity. Also, our brains are wired towards a negativity bias, where only 20% of our thoughts are positive. They also discuss other keys to happiness concerning the 10,000 hour rule, patience and hardwork, delayed gratification, and more.
