Welcome to RAW—my unfiltered solo podcast, hosted on LIFE Network (which is completely free to join here—you can listen to every RAW episode plus a full library of health and wellness podcasts, including Boundless Life). RAW is where you get the real, behind-the-scenes version of my life: the biohacking experiments I’m running on myself, the protocols I’m creating, the tools and tech I’m stress-testing before anyone hears about them, the ideas in physiology, performance, and longevity I’m diving into, the beliefs I’m questioning, the routines I’m refining, and the unconventional stuff I’m actually doing day to day.
In this episode, I open up about one of the most powerful anchors in my family's life—our daily bookends. These are the routines my family and I use to start and end each day with intention, connection, and purpose. I walk you through our morning huddle, where we check in, talk schedules, share a devotional, and pray together using the ACTS method. And at night, we gather for a family dinner complete with song, prayer, game time, and meaningful conversation—no matter how busy our days have been. I share not just the how, but the why behind these practices, emphasizing their impact on raising well-rounded kids, building family legacy, and nurturing relationships. Whether you've got a spouse, roommates, or a big family, I'm giving you a roadmap you can adapt to create magic and togetherness in your own home. Hope it inspires you to try something new—thanks for joining me on this RAW episode!

| 0:00.0 | Welcome to a special raw episode. What does raw mean? Well, within the Life Network at |
| 0:06.8 | JoinLifenetwork.com, I pop on every once in a while and just release solo-soed conversations |
| 0:13.1 | with me, myself, and I. Today is one of those raw episodes. This is going to be at joinlifenetwork.com if you want to check it out. |
| 0:26.6 | I have come a long way from the smearing extra virgin olive oil on my face as a moisturizer days. |
| 0:35.3 | I've learned a lot and I've interviewed some really smart people in my podcast |
| 0:38.8 | about peptides and stem cells and exosomes and all sorts of things that you can activate |
| 0:48.2 | or enhance at the skin level with the right type of products. So probably the most scientifically advanced |
| 0:56.5 | cutting edge company I know of in the beauty space is called Young Goose. They have, for example, |
| 1:02.6 | a blue peptide spray. This has methylene blue in it. Yes, for your skin. And it does not turn |
| 1:07.4 | your skin blue, but it does help your cells in the same way as |
| 1:12.3 | methylene blue that you might eat. It also has GHK copper peptides in it. So that's your |
| 1:18.6 | cellular energy foundation. They have vampire exosomes that you smear on your face to enhance |
| 1:24.5 | cellular communication and even help you with something like a post |
| 1:28.5 | cosmetic procedure support. |
| 1:30.4 | They also have their youth daily moisturizer, which has NAD in it and spermidine to help |
| 1:37.1 | with autophagy support. |
| 1:38.8 | So this is kind of like the long-term cellular resilience layer. |
| 1:43.1 | And you can get this as a three-pack at a 10% discount. |
| 1:48.2 | If you go to young goose.com and use code Ben 10 at checkout, that's younggoose.com and use |
| 1:55.9 | code Ben 10. You can start your day with the spray, move on to the exosomes, put on the NAD and the spermidine in the form of the youth daily moisturizer, and know that you're using the best of science to look younger and feel more confident. You've probably heard of your vagus nerve and you've probably heard of vagus nerve stimulation. There's a few ways to stimulate your vagus nerve. You can get a giant needle shoved past your carotid bilaterally on either side of your neck. |
| 2:21.4 | That's called a steli ganglion nerve block. |
| 2:24.4 | That sounds fun. |
