Fun fact: The average lifespan of a podcast is roughly 174 days - or just shy of 6 months. Most podcasters quit before they reach their eighth episode, and it's believed that of all the podcasts currently available, roughly half of those podcasts have 3 or fewer episodes. By contrast, this podcast has lasted over 5 years and 180 official episodes, not including bonus & special episodes (if you count those, it's over 220 episodes). I've been giving it a lot of thought lately and I've reached ...

Something you may have noticed when traveling, specificially when you travel to Las Vegas, is that people behave in very different ways on vacation than they do when they’re at home. That might mean drinking more and eating less healthy, taking risks they might not other wise take, or straight-up dropping all their inhibitions and becoming a totally different person…buy why? Joining me to answer that question – and many more – is Dr. Michael Brein, aka “the Travel Psychologist” . Michael is an a...
