Evolving your brain is possible.

There's a lot of people say people never change, blah, blah, blah.

Hey there.

I'm Matt Diavella and welcome to my short form podcast, Three Rules.

Each episode, I ask a guest to share three rules that help them find success and happiness.

And you're sometimes 2,000 feet in the air, more.

I was in Columbia last year inside a cloud, you know, paragliding by myself, literally in a cloud.

It's pretty insane.

And what this means is, like, if you're learning to paraglide and you're 200 feet in the air and your instructor gets on the radio.
