There's a real risk to businesses that's emerged recently and it's spreading pretty quickly and it's to do with artificial intelligence. If you think of every new tool your team signs up to and every vendor that turns on AI features, each one creates an opportunity for something to go wrong inside your business. That's because most programs haven't been built for AI's pace of growth. But our sponsor Vanta has. And as the number one, agenetic trust platform used by over 16,000

fast-growing companies, Vanta has been designed to make sure you are always audit ready. Its entire focus

is to help companies watch for the risks that show up between audits across their vendors,

your AI tools, and your whole environment. And if you're wondering how it does this, while the Vanta

agent works like a 24-7 governance risk and compliance engineer, it operates in the background,

looking for any issues, drafting fixes for you, and cutting vendor assessment time by up to

50%. So if you're a fast-growing startup or a global enterprise, Vanta will help you automate

your security and compliance, which in turn helps you

prove your trustworthy. You can get a thousand dollars off your Vanta subscription at vanta.com

Earlier on when you said that ambitious people, they have lots of aspirations, lots of habits

they want to start. I was thinking about myself and thinking, there's probably 30 habits that I would like to acquire. I'd want to

be better at writing. I want to be a runner. I want to be better at speaking. I want to be a better

friend and be more attentive with my friends and make sure I text them on their birthdays and

all of these new habits that I want to pursue. How does one know which one to aim for first? Is there a framework for knowing? Yeah, there's some things that you can do. I don't think, to your point earlier, about sometimes the riskiest things just to take a long time making the decision. You know, maybe you should just pick one and work on it and then you can get on to the next one. But I do think there's some level of strategy, which is a good place to start is by asking yourself which habits are upstream from other good things happening. So, for example, I know that if you were maybe the, maybe the question to start with is when you live a good day, when you feel dialed in, when things are like rolling along well for you, what tends to be part of that day? Sleep. You know? Okay. Great. So that's, you know, I would say for me, sleep is definitely one. I would say getting my workout in. And usually reading and writing are a part of it, but I think I could just boil it down to reading. if I just read like 10 pages, that often sparks the writing.

It's like reading is like the fuel. or a part of it, but I think I could just boil it down to reading. If I just read like 10 pages,

that often sparks the writing. It's like reading is like the fuel for writing for me. So, so I could say get a workout in and read for five minutes or 10 minutes. Those are the two things that are part of a good day. And what happens is they're upstream from a lot of other good things happening. For example, if I get the workout in,

yeah, I feel good. I get the benefits of the workout. But I also have a post workout high for like an hour or two. So my focus and concentration is better. I sleep better at night because I got the workout in now I'm tired. I tend to eat better when I work out. It's when I'm not working out that I eat terribly. I don't know. It's kind of like I don't

want to waste it or something. So at no point was I trying to build better focus habits or sleep habits

or nutrition habits. Those just came kind of as a natural consequence of getting the workout in.

So what are those things that you do that are upstream from other good things happening? I think

those are good
