Hey, it's Ryan Holiday. Welcome to another episode of the Daily Stoic podcast.

My guest today is one of my absolute favorite people. She has like an energy and a calmness, a stillness, if you will, that I find quite wonderful to be around and very inspiring.

I don't know. She just sort of gets things on a level that you would expect of like a guru or something.

And so the fact that she's also one of the greatest volleyball players of all time, best selling author, fitness expert, a model, just all around great person.

Gabby Reese is my guest today. She's the host of the Gabby Reese podcast. Her and her husband, Laird Hamilton are the founders of Laird Superfood.

They make all sorts of awesome products, vegan creamers and fair trade coffee, which they sent me not long ago. It's actually now a publicly traded company.

They are very famous for these workouts they do at their place in Malibu, which I have not had the privilege of doing. I always stay downtown when I'm in L.A.

Makes it very hard to get all the way out to Malibu super early, but I do plan to do it at some point.

I did her podcast back when I was doing stillness. That's the first time that we met. And so you can listen to that interview as well.

You can follow her at Gabby Reese on Twitter and you can subscribe to the Gabby Reese show anywhere you listen to podcasts.

Again, this is one of my favorite people. I think this is one of the best interviews I've done in a while. So check it out and we will talk soon.

You do seem like someone who sort of operates, I mean, this is sort of operates on energy. Like you seem like you have a good vibe for people's energy and you also seem like you are on a good energy wavelength.

Do you know what I mean?

Yeah, I mean, I'm trying to be on a good wavelength and living in natural places like Kauai and in parts where I live in California and living with layered.

It's like you sort of are trying really hard to stay focused on the essence of things.

And that's why also like my tolerance for you know when people make it always more about themselves or there's always something I'm like, oh, I have an aversion to that type of energy because I'm I'm been raised and also living away that it's like, hey, we're all busy.

We're all important. We're all not important.

You know, it yeah works well because then in a way you have you connect with people on things that are real and we don't go distracted by either their shiny layers and veneers or you know what I mean.

I do. Yeah, I feel like the people that I know that know you or the people that make the trek out to your your house in Malibu to to do the exercises and it's been time together.
