Summary

There are a number of things unique about this episode: 1. It's just me. No interviewee. 2. I take some time to update you on my podcast, my life, and what you can expect over the next 14 days (hopefully, Team USA wins a gold medal!). 3. I share 2 very meaningful articles that came across my desk this week. One on regret minimization framework -- something I've personally adopted as of later -- and the second on the correlation between professional ambition/success and pain. Thanks for listening, and I welcome all of your feedback -- always. Shoot me a note over twitter: @PaulRabil. Suiting Up is a show that explores the psychology, playbook of tools, and strategies of the most influential people in sports, entrepreneurship, and entertainment.

0:25.1	incredibly unoriginal, but I also believe that in many cases I'm
0:29.4	exceptionally curious and grateful for such. It's because from that curiosity I've been able to
0:35.2	learn, evolve, course correct, and so on. Before I started this podcast back in
0:41.8	2017 I was an avid listener of others and like any decision
0:45.7	we make in life particularly in adulthood there's a trade-off.
0:50.3	More doing in my, meant less consuming.
0:54.0	Anyway, one of my favorite listens was, and still is when I can grab a new episode, is Tim Ferris.
1:00.0	He's a great interviewer and has fascinating guests that often unpack loads of valuable information in a number of different disciplines.
1:07.0	And a favorite of mine was the creator of WordPress and founder of automatic, Matt Mullenwegg.
1:12.0	Matt, he's a 21st century world-class. automatic, Matt Molenwegg.
1:12.5	Matt, he's a 21st century world-class entrepreneur
1:15.6	encoder, considers himself a chemist, not an inventor.
1:20.4	He attributes most of what's out there already to the brilliant inventors who precede us.
1:25.0	And what he does is take each of those elements already in market and composes them into a new property of potentially better use than the incumbents. I look at sports in a similar light.
1:35.2	When I was younger I watched the best athletes in the world. I tried to cut like
