Young and Profiting with Hala Taha (Entrepreneurship, Sales, Marketing)

Dave Asprey's health was collapsing by the time he reached Silicon Valley. After hitting 300 pounds in college, he battled chronic fatigue, brain fog, arthritis, and pain, often forcing himself through work when he could barely think. He has since spent around $2.5 million to restore his wellness and upgrade his biology, learning along the way that long-term success depends on protecting energy, not pushing through with willpower. Today, having generated more than $1 billion in revenue across his ventures, he applies those principles to run a portfolio of eight companies. In this episode, Dave shares how entrepreneurs can eliminate triggers to think more clearly, perform at a higher level, and build lasting success without sacrificing their health.
