#687: Justin Gary — Taking the Path Less Traveled, The Phenomenon of “Magic: The Gathering,” How Analytical People Can Become “Creative” People, Finding the Third Right Answer, and How to Escape Your Need for Control

This episode is brought to you by Roca, makers of the world's most versatile eyewear. I am incredibly impressed with Roca, actually. The quality is outstanding and a lot of my friends who are elite athletes also wear them. That's how I was introduced to them. I like to stay active. A lot of long term listeners will know this, and my eyewear has to be up to the task. Brands that make everyday eyewear, sunglasses and glasses don't generally build them for people who are really on the move a lot, so you have to wear clunky shades on a run, deal with glasses that slip off your face, or buy some kind of sports specific frames. Roka has fixed all of that by packing the same features used in eyewear for olympic gold medalists and world champions into stylish everyday sunglasses, eyeglasses, and reading glasses. So you get more with less. It's an elegant solution. With Roka, one pair does it all. You can go from work to a workout to dinner with friends without ever needing to switch glasses. I never have to interrupt a hike, for instance, to take my sunglasses off and wipe my nose or frames because Roka's no slip feature keeps my shades right where they started. If you wear prescription glasses, which I will probably end up wearing pretty soon as you get know these things happen, you can finally ditch the contacts and have no slip. Fashionable frames that keep up with you and your active lifestyle. Personally, I've been using their Rory blue light glasses after sunset and I can feel the improvement in my sleep quality. I'm falling asleep faster during the day. I've been loving the falcon. This is Roka's ultra lightweight titanium aviators. Been wearing those say when I go out on nice sunny days in Austin for long walks. I also enjoy supporting Roca. Speaking of Austin as hometown heroes, as they are based in my backyard right here in Austin, Texas. Roca's ultra lightweight, no slip fit and advanced lens coatings combined with their exceptional style. I actually have many other styles I just mentioned too also make these a favorite for a lot of my friends. You may have heard about them from Andrew Huberman and many others. There are a lot of people wearing these things. The quality, as I mentioned before, is really outstanding. They are very, very durable and with more than 19,005 star reviews, can't wait until they get to 20,000. That'll be a celebration, I bet. But with more than 19,005 star reviews, Roca has created a solution that active people love. Plus they hand build their glasses, sunglasses and reading glasses all in the USA.

I view ag one as comprehensive nutritional insurance, and that is nothing new. I actually recommended ag one in my 2010 bestseller more than a decade ago, the four hour body and I did not get paid to do so. I simply loved the product and felt like it was the ultimate nutritionally dense supplement that you could use conveniently while on the run, which is, for me, a lot of the time. I have been using it a very, very long time indeed. And I do get asked a lot what I would take if I could only take one supplement. And the true answer is invariably ag one. It simply covers a ton of bases. I usually drink it in the mornings and frequently take their travel packs with me on the road. So what is ag one? What is this stuff? Ag one is a science driven formulation of vitamins, probiotics, and whole food sourced nutrients. In a single scoop, ag one gives you support for the brain, gut, and immune system. Since 2010, they have improved the Formula 52 times in pursuit of making the best foundational nutrition supplement possible using rigorous standards and high quality ingredients. How many ingredients? 75. And you would be hard pressed to find a more nutrient dense formula on the market. It has a multivitamin, multimineral superfood complex, probiotics and prebiotics for gut health, an antioxidant immune support formula, digestive enzymes and adaptogens to help manage stress. Now, I do my best always to eat nutrient dense meals. That is the basic, basic, basic, basic requirement, right? That is why things are called supplements. Of course. That's what I focus on. But it is not always possible. It is not always easy. So part of my routine is using ag one daily. If I'm on the road, on the run, it just makes it easy to get a lot of nutrients at once and to sleep easy. Knowing that I am checking a lot of important boxes. So each morning, ag one, that's just like brushing my teeth. Part of the routine. It's also NSF certified for sport, so professional athletes trust it to be safe. And each pouch of ag one contains exactly what is on the label, does not contain harmful levels of microbes or heavy metals, and is free of 280 banned substances.
