(2:00) Vinnie relays a story from when he moved in CA in 1991. Vinnie recently spoke to someone whose philosophy was a bit different than his when it comes to success & money. (10:00) It's not about "luck," it's about planning and putting in the work and having patience. He relates buying a car to investing in yourself. Gina understands betting on yourself in terms of delayed gratification. (16:30) There's a social media trend about "treating yourself"--but it all centers around not really delaying gratification. Finances and health are very similar - you need to invest in yourself for the future. (20:00) They discuss country musician Toby Keith's passing away. Because Vinnie works out every day, he is ready at any time for a physical challenge--he invests the time daily. Mind Manipulation Gina reads and article about processed foods and how they are manipulated to be addicted. (25:00) "Salt Sugar Fat" by Michael Moss explains how scientists hired by Big Food help figure out "bliss points" of flavors and texture to keep you addicted.

Your body keeps releasing insulin to cover all the food you eat, especially carbs. (28:00) He explains ghrelin, leptin, and insulin with an example about beer. Food addiction is tough because your body needs food as fuel to survive.
