0:00.0	Yeah, fam, boy, do we have a treat in store for you today, because in this
0:15.6	Yap Classic episode, we're rewinding it back to my conversation with world-renowned fitness
0:20.1	expert, biohacking guru, and New York Times bestselling author Ben Greenfield. Ben is so many things. He's an ex-bodybuilder, an Ironman triathlete, a trainer, a coach, a speaker, a podcast host, a best-selling author. And he's also a very involved parent. In fact, his latest book is called Boundless Parenting, and his breakout book,
0:39.0	Boundless, is pretty much the Bible of biohacking right now. Ben has an unquenchable enthusiasm
0:45.1	for optimizing and improving human performance, and he's helped millions through his biohacking
0:50.5	strategies and techniques, and I'm so excited that you get to learn directly from him
0:54.7	today because he's brilliant. So without further delay, here's my mind-blowing conversation with Ben
1:00.7	Greenfield. I wanted to tell our listeners about your interesting background story. And so much of
1:10.2	who we are, as you know, starts with our
1:12.2	childhood. And you had an unusual childhood compared to most. You grew up in Idaho. And that

1:21.9	your childhood and shed some color on that? Oh, a trip down memory lane, huh? Well, you're right. I did have a little bit of
1:30.0	unique childhood, specifically, not only did I grow up in the sticks in North Idaho, which already
1:35.3	makes you kind of weird, but I was homeschooled. So K through 12, I was homeschooled. And that's
1:41.3	interesting because traditional homeschooling, which of course has become more popular
1:46.6	lately, involves sitting around the kitchen table, learning from books and curriculum
1:51.9	overseen by your parents and going to prom by yourself and kind of doing the traditional
1:58.2	form of schooling but at home. Whereas whereas i like i with my own sons
2:03.0	now who are 15 we do unschooling and unschooling is different like you don't even use books or curriculum
2:07.8	much you essentially tune into your child's passions and interests and desires and then just surround
2:13.6	them with as many experiential immersions as possible, whether it's like building a tree
2:19.4	fort in the backyard to learn math. You know, going on field trips in the local community or like,
