Episode description
There are very few people (if any) that I respect more than John Berardi. He cofounded and built the world's largest nutrition coaching, software, and education company called Precision Nutrition which was named one of the world's most innovative companies by Fast Magazine. In 2017, he sold his 80% ownership in the company (which was valued at 200MM at that time) and founded the Change Maker Academy which is devoted to helping people turn their passion for health and fitness into a powerfully purpose-driven and wildly successful career. Just this year, he started the Dr. John Berardi show (which I would highly recommend) which explores important issues from multiple perspectives by interviewing intelligent experts who hold seemingly completely differing points of view. He was named one of the 20 smartest coaches in the world, and one of the 100 most influential people in health and fitness.
You would think this conversation would be about nutrition (and that's what I thought too going into it) but it's an in-depth look at how he thinks, processes the world, holds competing views in his mind, avoids cognitive biases, and maintains his boundaries and values. I cannot recommend this conversation enough...
