“Be the change you wish to see in the world” was famously said by Gandhi, and is the guiding principle for Fritzi. She has made it her life’s work to change the cycle of trauma that has led to over 2 million people currently being held in US prisons....
One of the great questions of our age is: How does one create a space for men to connect? It is not about being anti-women; quite the opposite. Connected, healthy men are much better husbands and fathers than unhealthy men. But it is a challenge, as getting guys to...
One of the reasons I have regular bloodwork done is to make sure all my indicators are optimized or if there is anything that may need some attention. My latest InsideTracker continued to show an excellent biological age of 55 vs my chronological age of 64. However, one thing...
With Morton Downey Jr. as her dad, Tracey had a unique childhood but not one that she regrets. Despite being controversial, he taught her she could do anything she put her mind to, and there has been very little that has stopped her. Her motto when faced with naysayers...

This week, we are posting in its entirety a conversation with the remarkably insightful David Robertson. There is so much good here. Maybe take the extra five minutes, if you can, to read through it. If one is looking for a model for how to live well at our...
The Apollo wearable is one of those devices we test that just seems too good to be true. I am happy to report that we were 100% wrong; this small wearable is amazing. It improves my ability to focus, to relax, and, most importantly to me, it improves the...
