    #61: Sixty Years of Strength Lessons | Dan John
    Nov 5 2026
    Most of us were taught that getting in shape means more weight, more sweat, and more soreness. Strength coach Dan John has been lifting since 1965, and has coached everyone from first-time lifters to MVP professional athletes. He thinks most of us would do better with less. Michael speaks with Dan about being strong enough, simple tests he uses to check strength, why lifting three days a week is plenty for most people, what to buy for a home gym, and why every workout should end with a walk.

    Nov 3 2026
    Almost everyone carries a list of things they want to do in life, and almost nobody gets to it. Michael speaks with Ravi Gupta, author of The Invisible List, who went all in on one passion a year: powerlifting, screenwriting, surfing, tennis, the MCAT, and Italian cooking. He explains the four steps to develop your "invisible list," how to find the time to tackle it, why your passions make you a better human, why passions protect your health and brain, and why sucking at something has benefits.

    If you love grisly true crime and horror shows, you might wonder if something is wrong with you. Michael speaks with Coltan Scrivner to answer that question. Scrivner, a psychologist at Arizona State University and author of Morbidly Curious, unpacks why humans are drawn to danger, the four kinds of morbid curiosity, why horror fans held up better in the pandemic, the sweet spot of fear, and when too much true crime starts to warp how dangerous the world feels.
