The human being is the only animal that decides to sacrifice its hours of sleep. Different factors can influence its lack. We all know that stress, work, and responsibilities usually play a considerable role, but we must comprehend that this has consequences in the short and long term. Today Dr. Kirk Parsley will give us a masterclass. He will explain the importance, consequences, and benefits that sleep brings to our lives. Incredibly, some humans cannot do natural things such as rest. That's one of the reasons we dived into this subject deeper, not only to find answers but also to figure out how to improve our life by applying just a few extra hours of rest into our routines. Take notes! The fountain of youth is a dream away from you. ABOUT KIRK PARSLEY Dr. Kirk Parsley served as an Undersea Medical Officer at Naval Special Warfare Group One from June 2009 to January 2013. While there, he led the development and supervised the group’s first Sports Medicine Rehabilitation center. He is a former SEAL, and received his Medical Degree from Bethesda, Uniformed Services University of Health Sciences (USUHS) in 2004. He interned in Obstetrics and Gynecology at Balboa Naval Hospital San Diego in 2005 and subsequently completed a Navy residency in Hyperbarics and Diving Medicine in 2006. His philosophy for wellness is simple; in order to optimize our health and get the most out of our bodies and minds, we must live more closely to the way. We evolved as a species. He believes that many diseases and disorders that we accept as “inevitable” in modern society are unnecessary complications of poor sleeping habits, living in a toxic environment, eating foods we were not designed to digest, and allowing stress to overwhelm us. His passion is to help his patients and clients achieve the highest quality of life possible, and realize their health, performance, and longevity goals.

The United States has been struggling with racial problems since the colonial era where dislike or rejection of racial minorities was common. Over the years, these minorities have raised their voices to ask for equality, respect, opportunities, and rights, generating enormous changes at the cultural and social levels. But, the fight is not over yet. Racism is still latent in our country and is ingrained in the hearts and minds of people who have refused to accept differences in color, culture, and language, causing hatred and delay within a country that constantly seeks progress. Today's guest Bo-Dean Sanders seeks to seal the gap between races by preaching diversity and inclusion across the country. In his book " Race Against ... Against Race," Bo-Dean opens the conversation between the race differences existing in the United States through his experience in the sports world — A world in which equality is considered the norm. This episode will show us how the world of sports is more than just entertainment. It is a world where it doesn't matter how you look as we fight for the same goal. Don't forget to share this episode, and let's start spreading the diversity and inclusion word. ABOUT BO-DEAN SANDERS Bo-Dean was born in Jacksonville, Florida where he and his siblings were raised by their single mother. He learned his values by attending his grandmother’s Baptist church. His love of sports began while watching college football on Saturdays and NFL games on Sundays. Bo-Dean represented Jean Ribault High, his all-Black high school, as the Fellowship of Christian Athletes (FCA) athlete of the year in the 1981–1982 football season. He’s currently a member of the Delco Press Club. Over the years, Bo-Dean has been part of notable articles in the Philadelphia Inquirer, Delco Times, Town Talk, Delaware Business Magazine, Out & About Magazine, County Press, and Main Line Today.

Music is one of the arts that can be healing for many people. From moments of sadness, joy, rage, music is there to accompany us, and like many of us, today's guest, Phutureprimitive, found passion and refuge in music. Imagine having a car accident and using the insurance money on a musical instrument that would change your life, leading you to fame, concerts, and a life where music is everything; this is the story of Phutureprimitive. Learn how self-commitment led Phutureprimitive to be the successful person he is today and start applying it in your life. Say no to excuses. ABOUT PHUTURE PRIMITIVE Phutureprimitive is the moniker of Bay Area producer and songwriter Rain. Early childhood photos reveal Rain sitting at the piano plinking keys, grinning from ear to ear... a true sign of things to come. Continuing his early fascination with music, Rain was later drawn to electronic music, inspired by its ability to combine the best of organically played instruments and the synthetic pleasures of sounds more exotic to the human ear. After beginning a DJ career in the 90s, Rain began incorporating the music he was making in his home studio into his DJ sets. That was all it took to trigger a full-blown love affair with electronic music and the process of its creation... and Phutureprimitive was born. Phutureprimitive's music is singular and unique in its approach. Lush melodies drift across intricate rhythms, groove-heavy beats, and warm, fuzzy bass lines. Often exploring a dark and dense palette, his music also manages to convey a sense of tranquility and beauty, engaging the listener into hypnotic movement and often escalating into a full-on kinetic experience. Shimmering with cinematic qualities, his music ultimately speaks to the body, mind, and soul.

It will help you understand your own process and hopefully bring you some peace. Cheers, Traver

Men and women. So equal but at the same time so different. Over the centuries, the relationship between man and woman has become distant, putting each one at opposite poles and in a certain way distorting reality where man has seen himself multiple times above the female sex in different aspects when the reality couldn't be further from that. In this unplugged episode, we will have an incredible conversation with Madelyn Moon about polarity and relationships.

In this episode I’m taking a different approach to talking about mass shootings as it seems the most common arguments just lead to circular conversations with lots of passion that go nowhere. Here I’m talking about — MEN — grief, sadness, anger, rage, and entitlement. What I view as the cocktail of roots underneath mass shootings. Yes, I know that guns play a role in them as well (please read into the deep sarcasm) but talking about guns doesn’t seem to curb them being used on the public. Perhaps we need to look at this from a different angle. Enjoy. Traver

At some point most men have heard, felt, or internalized the notion — it’s not okay to be a man. This is one of the most destructive and tragic falsities a man can believe. It’s responsible for more toxic behavior, self harm, and outward harm than any other belief men take in. When we change this, we stop the massively destructive behavior its shadow creates. Until we change this — we won’t. Men — if you’ve felt this, I’m sorry. If you’ve heard this, I’m sorry. If you believe this, I’m sorry — AND — it’s time to let this idea go and replace with one that works with you and for you. That works for your loved ones and works for the planet It’s pretty goddamn good to be a man. Own it. Cheers, Traver
