It's time to look in the mirror. Kids are crazy, right? When they're hungry, they are rude and

difficult to manage. They are demanding and seem incapable most of the time of doing anything for

themselves. They are totally ungrateful for what other people do for them. In fact, a lot of

times they are completely unaware that anyone exists in the world

but themselves. This is not new, obviously. In the 1600s of French satirists captured the

timelessness of the selfishness of the young. Children are overbearing, he wrote, supercilious,

passionate, envious, inquisitive, egotistical, idle,

fickle, timid, intemperate, liars, and dissemblers. They laugh and weep easily,

are excessive in their joys and sorrows, and that about the most trifling objects.

They bear no pain, but like to inflict it on others.

Hey, everyone. it's Ryan. I've raved about athletic greens before. It's hard to get the right

mix of nutrients in your diet. And athletic greens is a great product. I actually first heard

of athletic greens almost 10 years ago from Chris

the Kiwi, the founder, he and I met through Tim Ferriss. He's a great dude. Athletic Greens has more

than 75 vitamins, minerals, and other whole food sourced ingredients that make it easier for you

to maintain nutrition without taking a whole lot of pills.

You just mix a scoop of athletic greens into some water and you're good to go. It's got prebiotics,

probiotics, digestive enzymes, adaptogens, superfoods, and more, all designed to support athletic

performance, immunity, energy, healthy aging, and more. It tastes great, doesn't use any sugars or additives.
