Hi my name is Louis Howes and welcome to the Daily Motivation Show.

And you talk about in your book about how, you know, when you deal with family or friends

you care about and you're eating meals together that you're specifically creating together

or having some element or role in the creation process,

how much more powerful is doing that consistently over time

versus eating isolated and eating ultra-process foods by yourself.

Yeah, the last time I saw you, that's what we were doing.

Eating together, it was a celebration for you, for your birthday.

Yeah.

It was one of the most magical days, right? We'll always remember that experience.

This was normal, this celebration around food, right? Having a luau, like this is kind of like,

maybe a commercial aspect of it now but it's deeply rooted

in sharing a food with your tribe right is celebrating life celebrating our connection to food and to each other and this is the mission right

now we're getting to how do we fix this I talked about the the larger culture

skate that we're existing in and cultures like an invisible hand that's guiding our behaviors. We think we have

free will, but our culture is really deciding what we're aware of and the choices

that we have. How do we change this culture? We start with our own family. We

start controlling the controllables. I've been in this field for over 20 years and

thinking about all the time I've spent trying to target the bigger culture, it's very, very difficult.

And what I found to be the most effective is changing the culture from within, starting

with yourself, your family, that starts to bleed out to your community.

People start to see things different.
