**Chris Williamson** (0:00)
Hi friends, welcome back. My guest today is Polina Pompliano, and we are talking about the secrets of the world's highest performing and most interesting individuals. Polina spends her time assessing humans like David Goggins and Elon Musk and Charlie Munger, Warren Buffett's business partner. And she breaks down exactly what they're doing, what are the tools and the tactics that they use to get the outcomes in life that we want. So today, expect to learn how David Goggins used post-it notes to change himself, why Elon Musk is able to have truly unique thoughts, what Polina learned from The Rock, how the highest performers on earth spend their time wisely, and much more. I'm so interested in peering behind the curtain at different and unique humans, people like David Goggins and Elon Musk. And given that Polina spent so much time immersed in what these people do, and not just like a biography of how he grew up in this place and went to this school and studied this thing. It's like the daily routines and the actual habits of what they get up to. It's all the interesting stuff. I really hope you enjoy this one. In the other news, this podcast is sponsored by BetterHelp. I have been talking about how much everybody needs counseling or therapy for over nearly two years now. And everybody that I know who has gone and taken some time in therapy has come out of it so much better. It's crazy how many people have a PT for the easy in and out service that is your body and yet don't think about getting someone who can help improve the most complex organ we have, which is the one between our ears. BetterHelp is an online service that can match you with a trained therapist in under 48 hours. Because it's online, it means you've got access to a huge range of counselors with varying expertise which might not be locally available wherever you are, and this service is available for clients worldwide. You can log on to your account at any time and send a message to your counselor. You'll get timely and thoughtful responses. Plus, you can schedule weekly video or phone sessions, so you won't even have to leave the house or sit in an uncomfortable waiting room as with traditional therapy. BetterHelp is committed to facilitating great therapeutic matches so they make it easy and free to change counselors if needed. It's more affordable than traditional offline counseling and financial aid is available. I'm really glad to be partnered up with them. I think far more people than realize it could benefit from therapy. And you can get 10% off your first month by going to betterhelp.com/modernwisdom.
