This episode is brought to you by our sponsor, Element. So this is an electrolyte powder that you add to your water. It doesn't have any sugar. It also is not artificially flavored. It's flavored naturally and it tastes amazing. Now, here's the difference with Element over other electrolyte powders. They have a thousand milligrams of sodium per serving. Why do you need that much sodium? Because if you need electrolytes, that's what you need the most. Potassium and magnesium are important, but it's the sodium that prevents cramps and headaches. So it gives you those pumps. It's what helps you perform better in your workouts. It's especially important for people on low carb diets, people who fast, people who eat whole food based diets. If you sweat a lot or you work in the sun, in the hot sun, electrolyte supplementation can make a huge difference. And if you go through our link, drinkelementt.com/mindpump, on that link you'll get a free sample pack of their most popular drink mix flavors thrown in for free with any purchase. Back to the show.

Jim Kwik (3:48)

Thanks for having me, guys. Yeah, it's been a little while. I love out of every, I'm on this book tour and this is like the best studio ever. Oh, thank you. Absolutely, it has so much depth to it. I'm sure everything here has personal meaning.

Adam Schafer (4:00)

It does, and we're all, we're definitely all four of us, as you could tell what's behind everybody, very different. I mean, it's one of the unique things about this, our podcast friendship business is that as good as we all get along, we couldn't be more different from each other.

Sal Di Stefano (4:15)

I love that, I absolutely love that. So I got to ask you a question, just to open this, and it's about AI. Is it making us dumb?
