“Best friend from Long Island died of a fentanyl overdose. Aunt recently died of alcohol and percocet about a year ago overdose. And two of my best friends in college killed themselves within a few years of graduation. And these are like fancy, I went to some fancy schools. That's not That shouldn't happen. And so it shows that these issues also do not discriminate. Because in part, I think they're a byproduct of the human condition, but also a lot of modern societal factors, right? So like these things don't care. How fast you are. They don't care how athletic you are. They don't care how much or how little money you have. They don't care what race you are.”

“Yeah. And in some cases, the medications can be incredibly, incredibly helpful. But at the same time, I think that it's one tool in the toolkit. And a lot of people will be non-responders or very short-term responders to some of the medications to some of these alternative tools, very, very important. So what are some of the signs? Because we were chatting about this last night where I was saying, you know, in my mind as someone who's Seen family members really affected by say depression specifically and friends certainly I mean my best friends just again to broaden things a little bit so people realize the pervasiveness of this it's like one of my best friends in high school offed himself by the time before he graduated from college”

“We're taking it outside of the context of the military, but still there's a huge overlap because a lot of returning vets are prescribed, say, synthetic opioids and so on. I mean, you have more synthetic opioid-related deaths. I want to say in 2017 than all the casualties of the Vietnam War. Right, when you put it in perspective. And these are common issues. They're very common, but the illusion of the perceptual illusion that's created because Relatively speaking, few people talk about it publicly is that you, if you're feeling depressed or fill in the condition that is stigmatized, you feel maybe uniquely flawed. You don't want to admit that it's an issue because you think you're one in a thousand people. Who would possibly have it, and it's just not the case.”

“Yeah, totally. And it's worth noting that... This is not a small issue. And by this, we could be talking about depression, but we could be talking about sort of mental health related problems and challenges in, say, the US as a whole, certainly globally, but I'm more familiar with the sort of state of affairs in the U.S. where it's something like 20 to 23 is the range I hear most often, veterans commit suicide. Is it daily? So, I mean, far more loss of life, sort of after service than during active service. And last year, if we're taking it outside of the”

“Yeah, if you don't mind, I mean, because of people listening, of all the people who are listening to this, there are going to be people who are listening with the fascination of watching an exotic animal in a zoo where they're like, I've never experienced that. This is interesting. Then they're the people who've experienced it directly. In some way Whether it's just down periods, extended funks or clinical depression or really extreme varieties of that, which we can talk about. And then you have the people who may have not experienced directly, but they've been affected. Because someone, a close friend, a family member, what was, if you don't mind me asking, what was it like for your wife? Having this experience with you or vicarious, I mean, being with you while you're going through it.”

“Would be pro tip. What other rules or practices have you built into your life to either keep, well, let me ask the question. So you go through the PRTMS, you instill these habits, have you had any recurring bouts of challenges with what you might term apathy or depression or has that gone away entirely?”

“Yeah, it's got a strong flavor to it, but it really does help with sleep. And for people who are struggling, that's potentially worth experimenting with. I will add a caveat to that. Then maybe I'm speaking specifically to you, my fellow Americans. More is not necessarily better with magnesium. And if you overdo magnesium, there's an increased likelihood of disaster pants. So just follow your label direction so you don't foul out.”

“A lot of, like I mentioned earlier, I'm not for military, but I've spent a lot of time with form military and a lot of guys seem to experience this tired and wired phenomenon where they'll try to go to sleep and then suddenly they're wide awake. And they have this surge of cortisol, like late at night as opposed to early in the morning when you're evolutionarily designed to have this surge of cortisol so that it liberates glycogen. You get a spike in blood glucose and then bam, you're awake. And some folks, and I don't know if you've ever bumped into. Kirk Parsley. He does a lot of work with guys. I know Kirk? You do. So he's worked on some interesting concoctions for sleep and phosphatidyl serine.”

“Handful of hours, at least I would. I drink like 15 cups of iced tea or like seven cups of coffee. Strong. Yeah. Yeah. And then, you know, I realized at one point I went to I did this retreat at one point where I had And just went straight back into my normal routine of inadvertently consuming six cups in a day. And I thought to myself, holy shit, like is this, was this my normal? No wonder I was so anxious and had so much trouble sleeping. And so for me, this is a long roundabout way of saying. You can use all the meditation apps and take all the supplements and do all of these things to decrease your anxiety and improve your sleep. Or you can just have like one or two cups of coffee in the morning and not have six.”

“Exercise at some point in say the afternoon gives me a break from my habitual caffeine consumption window, right? So, and if that makes any sense because as someone who's effectively worked by himself, which I think is problematic in a lot of ways psychologically for 20 plus years, it's like, okay, well, I go to a coffee shop, go to a restaurant, and a lot of these places, it's an endless cup of coffee or it's an endless, right? Yeah, yeah, you end up, it's like, okay, over.”

“I've noticed, I think this caffeine piece is really key for a lot of people, including myself. And I've noticed, for instance, there are certain things we're going to talk about this that are sort of harbingers or like the canary in the coal mine as it relates to possible periods of depression or apathy or anhedonia, all these things. that for me at least caffeine can precipitate a lot of it because if for whatever reason i'm consuming too much caffeine too late too high a quantity what does that start to affect it starts to affect sleep even if you're in bed for eight hours you may have very disrupted sleep and then it becomes this vicious cycle that tends to exacerbate all of the things that you're trying to avoid yeah right and uh so so for me also combining say extended”

“Changing the trajectory of their physical life, like Rick Rubin, legendary music producer has a very similar practice, like Lee's 20 or 30 minutes of direct sunlight every morning. That doesn't mean it has to be sunny out also. It can be overcast. It just means being outside. And shortly thereafter, along with other things, I mean, he lost 100 plus pounds, right? But that was sort of the first domino, which was a daily ingredient first thing upon waking that made a huge difference. When do you stop drinking caffeine during the day? Or what are the rules you've set for yourself?”

“I want to we're going to keep going so you can think of any other things that might have helped as it relates to sleep. But the sun exposure, first thing in the morning and not having anything between you, even if it is, say, panes of glass is something that a number of guests on this podcast have mentioned. I only thought about it right now because it's been a while as being instrumental in completely.”

“In not Night, I was going to say, I don't want to take us totally off the rails, but one of the things you mentioned during lunch that I never would have thought of in a million years, you're talking about Heading out to climb in the middle of the night with headlamps. Sure. And I was like, what? Why would you do that? And you're talking about the temperature and how your skin is just tighter, more resilient. You can climb more effectively. So I can see that being maybe not the ideal time to down a whole lot of coffee.”

“It doesn't make the longer term regular behavioral decisions for you, but it opens a window in which you can make those decisions for yourself, which is true of a lot of some of the treatments that I find more interesting for this is that they're not Sort of causal in and of themselves. It's not one and done, but it opens a window of opportunity within which you can make decisions with. Sort of your mind in a better focused place. Since the, you mentioned sleep, and this is another variable that has just become over time more and more interesting to me. I mean, certainly you're no stranger to sleep deprivation, and we can certainly talk about that. And there were long periods of time where I used stimulants and caffeine to self-medicate. It works for a while, or at least it makes you feel like you're being productive for a while.”

“Yeah, it strikes me that you needed the, in a way, the reboot or the tuning so that you could have... Sort of quote unquote normal window within which then you could make the decisions you would have made normally. Absolutely. Does that make sense? Yeah, no perfect sense. The PRTMS doesn't.”

“The normal kind of feedback loops that help encourage you to follow these beneficial Patterns of behavior can kind of slip through your fingers. Sure. Because you're not getting the payoff, you're not getting the initial drive and you're not getting the payoff. So the PRTMS is really interesting. This is something that actually came up not too long ago very briefly with a physicist who was on this podcast, but we didn't get into it because he had no personal exposure to it. He was just very interested in the science. How quickly did you see a response to that?”

“Yeah, it's what you're describing certainly. I've never been in the military, but for people who've listened to the podcast for a long time or read any of the recent books, I mean, I've had many extended bouts with certainly in retrospect what I would call depression and seems to be Family, there seems to be a software component, like what I came preloaded with just has maybe a few unusual lines of code in it. But there's also the large behavioral piece and one of the trickier aspects of for some people, and this has been true for me as well, is that if humans are kind of reward and punishment sort of incentive-driven machines, if the reward that you received from activities that were good for you, right, in part the joy of rock climbing, let's just say. Disappears right, so you have this like Anhedonia, this inability to feel joy.”

“There are a whole slew of reasons why I was eager to have you on the podcast. You've been highly successful in multiple fields. You're well respected in multiple fields, certainly as a physical performance specimen, as the snake eater put it, sort of irritatingly well-rounded. And also one hell of a nice guy, which makes it harder to find that bothersome. I should say, but it's more of an end really because I think it's so common. You've had some challenges since leaving the military that I thought would be worth getting into. And I wanted to sort of paint a picture of a lot of your accomplishments first because I wanted to establish that context. But can you talk just, and we'll, of course, dig into a lot of the details, but there have been a lot of highlights along the way. But what did you experience after the military?”

“Yeah, it was about as pleasant as it sounds. But I ended up being more sensitive over time, which I didn't expect, right? I thought, oh, well, this is going to be like building up a base suntan.

There's someone who may be a Character in the story of stress inoculation and your exposure to that, I suppose pun intended who's been on this podcast before, can you describe how you know Jocko Willink?”

“I've never told our mystery friend sitting here this before, but I was a subject, I volunteered to be an experimental subject in testing at Stanford where they would, I wanted the data, right? I'd always been susceptible to heat and I wanted some hard numbers on how susceptible I was or if I was, like what the actual problem was. And so they put in It's about as pleasant as it sounds an anal probe, which is like to measure core temperature. So it's like up 18 inches long or something like that. And then they had new technology, which is an esophageal probe. So you also had like an 18 inch probe going down your nose, down your throat to try to get close to your heart. And then they'd put you in full military gear with a weighted rucksack helmet and put you in a sauna. On an inclined treadmill and just march you to heat exhaustion.”

“You mentioned a term earlier that I think is worth exploring a bit. That's stress inoculation. Could you talk about maybe give some examples of that and maybe also some misconceptions? I mean, for instance, one that came up yesterday when we were having dinner was cold exposure. And I was actually, I've never really thought about it, but the counterintuitive aspect of that example, I think, is worth mentioning too. So what is stress inoculation and where do people sometimes get it wrong?”

But what other physical feats or whether it's in competition or otherwise are you proudest of?”

“Right. And I think a lot of a quote that I'm going to butcher the name. I need a classic scholar in the room. But Archilochus, I think, is one of these old. Old names, it is difficult to know how exactly, at least for me, how it was pronounced, but the phrase is we do not rise to the level of our hopes or expectations we fall to the level of our training. So if you haven't stressed inoculated, as you mentioned, it's very difficult to execute when you're actually trying to push yourself in a performance rep. So let's talk about clearing your mind. Practically, what does that look like? A lot of people get wrapped up, right? They put in a ton of practice and then it's time to go out and perform. And you've no doubt seen this. And I mean, we're going to segue to military shortly, but whether it's in sports, in any high performance situation, you see people who do really well in training and rehearsal, and then they freeze.”

“Is that something that you can develop? I mean, is there a sort of mental theater in which you, how you speak to yourself allows you to do that or helps you to do that? I'm just wondering what, if people wanted to try to develop the ability to try harder, which I think can be done. I mean, I think that there are certain presets. But then, if you are training in just about any sport or area with, say, a coach who believes you can exceed what you take to be your limitations, then you can begin to sort of instill The conditioned default of trying really hard, right? So I think there are probably things that you can do. How do you approach a new problem that you've set out for yourself? Because I know that you have explored some virgin territory when it comes to bouldering problems.”

“If we look at rock climbing to throw the same question out there, and you could use a specific example if you wanted in terms of picking someone who you recognize as an elite climber. We try to separate the inborn attributes that allow them to be superior climbers, right? Much like you would, I can't learn to have my ankles seemingly dislocate like Michael Phelps. So that's unlikely to be something I can train for. But there are different training approaches or ways of looking at say bouldering problems or other things that might allow people to progress faster and develop faster than others. What are some of the differentiators that you've observed in exceptional climbers versus people who are just kind of like me and half of the things I do, like permanent blue belts who never quite graduate?”

“So let's talk about these two disciplines just to start with because I find that generally. Well, I find it interesting how someone like yourself looks at different disciplines, and I'm fascinated with high performing cohorts of people in any discipline, right? It really doesn't matter. It could be carpentry, could be rock climbing, could be painting. Just really the discipline itself is less interesting than the commonalities among the top performers. So if we look at, for instance, the synchronized swimming in an air column, what separates? It could be in any of the different formats you described, doesn't have to be, it could be in the battle format, could be in any of the different formats we discussed.”

“A member of the US team in the 2007 Adventure Racing World Championships in Scotland. He's raised in multiple races of this type that are multi-day world-class expedition-length races. He has also completed ultra-distance trail running events between 50K and 50 plus miles in length. He competed as related to indoor skydiving in the 2018 Soccer Cup Invitational as part of the U.S. Dynamic Four-way team. That was Japan's very first international indoor skydiving competition, a very high-level international dynamic flying tournament that showcased the most talented wind tunnel flyers in the world.
