📝 Episode Summary

Former CIA officer reveals RICE framework for influence.

🎯 Top Takeaways

  1. Non-sleep deep rest (NSDR) can restore dopamine and mental energy in just 10-20 minutes
  2. Your brain changes most when you fail and try again—neuroplasticity requires effort and errors
  3. Dopamine is about motivation, not reward—it drives you toward goals and is depleted by too-easy pleasures
  4. Supplements like omega-3s, creatine, and vitamin D support brain function when diet is insufficient
  5. Morning sunlight exposure (within 30-60 min of waking) sets your circadian rhythm and improves sleep that night
