Who's afraid of the big bad wolf? Not wildlife biologist Diane Boyd. She has spent her career working to protect this once endangered species. You can listen to her story and the story of these intelligent and majestic creatures who in some ways are quite similar to humans, as she proclaims.

What if I told you there were a scientifically proven way to boost our sense of happiness and well-being? I had a wonderful interview with Yale psychology professor Dr. Laurie Santos. Laurie is a Yale professor of psychology and teaches the most popular class in the history of Yale. It's called Psychology and the Good Life. It's so popular in fact that millions of people from around the world have taken her happiness course on Coursera.

Laurie digs deep into the data and reviews all the studies to understand the scientifically proven ways we can boost our emotional state. Like any good thing in life, it takes practice and it takes time. But if you can make it a habit, it could be life changing.

Loved my interview with Don Lemon. I may not agree with everything he says but I do admire his authenticity, his insatiable curiosity, and his desire to get to the truth.

TOPGUN is one of my favorite movies so I had a blast interviewing a real life former TOPGUN instructor - Guy Snodgrass. He was also the former head speechwriter for Secretary of Defense James Mattis. You can find it on The Art of Excellence here: https://bit.ly/4gwvY2r or any podcast app. Hope you enjoy it as much as I did.

If you haven't watched My Octopus Teacher, move it to the top of your Netflix queue. One of the best documentaries I've ever seen. I had such a powerful and emotional reaction watching the film (which won the Academy Award for best documentary) that I had to interview the producer and host - Craig Foster. Hope you'll be as moved as I was interviewing him.

I knew nothing about Formula 1 racing other than it being a global phenomenon. But when races are won by fractions of a second, I always wondered how much was man vs. machine. So I found the greatest Formula 1 race car designer in the history of the sport - Red Bull Racing's Adrian Newey. What a fascinating career he has had. And it's not over. You can check out my interview with him here: https://bit.ly/4dnTAUE or iTunes, Spotify. Hope you enjoy it.

I never realized how much lessons from the game of chess can be applied to life until interviewing chess grandmaster Maurice Ashley. He's the first African American to ever reach that coveted status. You can listen on The Art of Excellence here: https://bit.ly/4bcqiqQ or your favorite podcast app.

My interview with the greatest cliff diver in the history of the sport - Gary Hunt. He's not your classic extreme sport adrenaline ju**ie by any stretch. You can check it out on The Art of Excellence here: https://bit.ly/43NwNOq or your favorite podcast app. Hope you enjoy.

My latest guest on The Art of Excellence is George Mumford - a mindfulness guru and sports psychology expert and former personal coach to Michael Jordan, Kobe Bryant, and many other world-class athletes. Lots of interesting insights in this one. Listen here: https://bit.ly/4a7BlkO or your favorite podcast app.

Dr. BJ Miller is a palliative care physician. How did he develop the empathy needed to help patients toward the end of their lives? By almost losing his.

When he was just a sophomore at Princeton, he climbed on top of a commuter train which was out of service at the time. 11,000 volts from the power line pierced through his body. He was severely burned, nearly died, and ended up losing 3 limbs. He was lucky to have survived and had to begin his new life as a triple amputee.

So many powerful lessons from this interview. You can listen on The Art of Excellence here: https://bit.ly/3IuGAyO or iTunes, Spotify...

I had a really interesting conversation with Daniel Goleman on my podcast where he talked about leveraging emotional intelligence to achieve what he calls an "optimal state" every day. In an optimal state, you'll find work and every day life more engaging and fulfilling. Daniel is the psychologist who popularized the concept of emotional intelligence 3 decades ago with his bestselling book Emotional Intelligence.

Norwegian mountain climber Kristin Harila wanted to set a world speed record by being the fastest to climb all 14 8,000 meter peaks. She wanted to shatter the glass ceiling in a male dominated sport. And that's exactly what she did. She climbed all of them in just 92 days! To put it in perspective, it takes most people 2 months just to climb Mt Everest alone. You can get to know her on The Art of Excellence here: https://bit.ly/46TD6Qz or iTunes, Stitcher...

I discovered the Tiger Woods of bowling. His name is Jason Belmonte (aka Belmo). 15 major championships, 7 PBA Player of the Year awards and counting. Driven and hyper competitive on the inside but fun, easy going, and a great sense of humor on the outside. Listen on The Art of Excellence here: https://bit.ly/3OgUJDy or iTunes, Spotify...

I loved my interview with 2-time Masters champion Bubba Watson. He's had to fight his own demons on the golf course but it's hard not to admire his vulnerability and self awareness. He's earned a great deal of respect from me. You can listen on The Art of Excellence here: https://bit.ly/3p1rZoI or your favorite podcast app.

10/04/2023

I had a chance to interview Frans Lanting on The Art of Excellence podcast. He's considered by many to be one of the greatest wildlife photographers ever. I was fascinated by how he thinks about his craft and how he as evolved over the years to become much more than just a photographer. In his world, animals are ambassadors for ecosystems and biodiversity. Listen here: https://bit.ly/43fXri5 or your favorite podcast app.

20/03/2023

I had a chance to interview Carol Tome, CEO of UPS. First interview I've done in person since the pandemic began and I'm so glad I did. She's a truly remarkable leader. I'd say she's a role model for women but that's selling her short. She's a role model for all of us!

Dr. Robert Waldinger is the current project lead on the longest scientific study on happiness, a longitudinal study which started in 1938 and continues to this day. So what's the secret to long term health and happiness? It's not exercise or diet or meditation. The number one factor is relationships. Having at least a couple close relationships in your life will be more impactful in the long run to both your physical health and mental wellbeing than anything else. Listen to my interview with Bob on The Art of Excellence here: http://bit.ly/41bMs8p or wherever you listen to podcasts. Enjoy.

If you've been as mesmerized as I have viewing these captivating images of galaxies far away captured by the James Webb Space Telescope, you can thank senior project scientist John Mather. He also won the Nobel Prize in Physics for measuring radiation from the Big Bang. Two incredible accomplishments in a lifetime. And he's not finished.

Kara Swisher is a legend in the world of tech journalism. She has interviewed pretty much everyone - Steve Jobs, Bill Gates, Elon Musk, Mark Zuckerberg...
