Ok guys today we sit down with Louis Rosenberg.
Thomas Edison, Steve JobsâŠ.I would not be surprised for future generations to be referencing the brilliance of Louis Rosenberg in the same light.
He is an innovator and by that I mean he sees things before they happen. Not only does he think outside the box and see what could beâŠbut he also makes that vision come into our physical reality. To be able to see itâŠand then do it. Talk about two simple concepts but very few ppl on the planet have done what Louis has done.
In this conversation we get into his journey starting as a kid from Long Island, NYâŠhow he was diagnosed with dyslexia but instead of dwelling on the difficulties of that dx he really leaned into the creative doors that it allowed his mind to open. Which leads us into his journey West to study at Stanford where he gets his PhD⊠and then its an exploration of his path thus far⊠starting companies, creating technology, writing screen plays that have turned into films, and booksâŠ.
We talk about his latest endeavor which I personally am very excited about called Unanimous AI. This part of the conversation begins around min 52 for anyone that likes to listen out of order.
Unanimous AI is fascinating because Louis invented the technology to allow humans to leverage the swarm intelligence that is present in Nature. The possibilities and potential positive contributions to humanity that will come out of this technology is really exciting.
People are smart. We want to connect. We want to belong and contribute to something greater than ourselves in a positive way. Louis leaned into these truths and listened to nature to build us a technology to access a collective super intelligence. Thank you sir!

Jack Feldman is a Brooklyn, NY native with his PhD in Physics and is a Distinguished Professor of Neurobiology at UCLA. According to my friend and previous guest Andrew Huberman âJack is the world leader in all things breathingâ so who better to talk to about this amazing gift of breath than Jack.
Jack discovered an area in the brain stem that is responsible for the rhythm of breath which he named the pre-Botzinger complex. He is a world leader into the discovery of the answer to this simple questionâŠâHow is the very basic rhythm of breathing generated?â
In this episode we explore Jacks journey to answer this simple sounding question and he shares a lot of valuable information and insights into how our respiration impacts our health and optimal performanceâŠ.including how the breath prepares the body for exercise before it even beginsâŠwhy HIIT worksâŠand very interesting findings with episodic hypoxia training.
I really enjoyed talking with Jack and I hope you find value in our conversation. Thanks as always for tuning in and supporting the show!

Ok what can I say about Andrew? He has his PhD in Neuroscience. Heâs a tenured professor in the Department of Neurobiology at Stanford University School of Medicine. He has his own lab at Stanford ..(Huberman Lab) where he has 2 main focuses. 1. working to halt and reverse vision loss and 2. How Visual perception and ANS arousal states are integrated and impact behavior.
So obviously he is super smart and drivenâŠbut what really makes Andrew special is he cares deeply about people. He is a big strong guy on the outside but on the inside has a huge heart and really goes out of his way to help others.

Our guest today is Dr. Kulreet Chaudhary. She was born in India but left at the age of 4 to relocate with her family in the US. Her path led her to become a medical doctor specializing in Neurology and the director of Wellspring health in Scripps Memorial Hospital for ten years. Luckily for us, she became sick, which sounds bad I know, but as pills and traditional treatment was not working she looked to Ayurvedic medicine and meditation which quickly brought her back to health. From this point on she hasnât looked back and is a pioneer bridging the worlds of ancient Indian traditions and medicine to modern science.
She is currently decoding and researching ancient Siddha texts and medicine which very few people on the planet have had access to. Specific frequencies and vibrations of sound delivered thru mantras and instruments have been essential to our health in for thousands of years in these traditions and we are just starting to have science match up and offer explanations for how this is possible.
She recently released her second book âSound medicineâ which is an amazing journey thru the current science of sound and how it maps to Ayurvedic and western medicine. I love that Kulreet is so grounded in science but also open to what science has yet to be able to uncover.
She is an absolute light in this world and doing important work that has far reaching potential. This was a really fun conversation so I hope you enjoy!
We talk about:
-the bridge between western medicine and eastern practices
-spiritual growth
-the science of quantum physics, biology, biofields, etc
-healing aspect of nature (ocean, forest)
-healing thru the lens of Ayurveda, sound, ancient siddha and Vedic texts
-mantra meditation
-chakras and the nervous system
-subtle energy fields in the body
-heart electromagnetic field
-devotion vs love
-how to access higher states of consciousness
-detox the physical and emotional body
-shift from receiving to creating

Mardy is a former professional tennis player reaching a career high ranking of 7 in the world. He is an Olympian that won the silver medal for the united states and is the current Davis Cup coach for the USA.
Mardy is a great human and friend and a phenomenal athlete. He shares so much valuable information into what it takes mentally and physically to perform at the highest level in tennis.
He takes us on his own personal journey to transforming his body with disciplined diet and training that eventually led to the best years of his tennis career.
He lets us into his mind and educates us on tennis strategy sharing how he would play players differently based on their strengths and weakness.
And he shares his experience with anxiety and mental health that halted his tennis career and his journey back to a healthy state of mind and body to be able to end his career on his terms.
I am linking an article that Mardy wrote for the players tribune that goes into great detail here and is a valuable read.
