Succeeding In Life, Business & Marriage - Aubrey Marcus - #375

**Chris Williamson** (0:00)
What's happening, people? Welcome back to the show. My guest today is Aubrey Marcus. He's a podcaster, author and founder. Aubrey just sold his company, Onnit, to Unilever for a huge undisclosed amount. And he just got married after years of polyamory, which is a non-monogamous style of relationship where you have multiple partners at once. I wanted to discover how do you find fulfilment in life when all the pursuits which used to give you meaning are now completed. Today, I expect to learn what it feels like to wake up with millions and millions of dollars in your bank account one day, the dangers of constantly desiring validation, how Aubrey would suggest someone get into psychedelic therapy, his opinion on polyamory as a newly married man and much more. There is something going on, man. When I speak to Aubrey, there is something happening. It happened on the first episode. He is one of the most awakened humans that I think I've ever met. He is so present and aligned and self aware. He is a real deal. He genuinely is. So, yeah, enjoy this one. Before we get on to other news, a little announcement.

In other news, this episode is brought to you by MyProtein, the world's number one sport nutrition brand, is still blowing my mind with their Clearway protein. It is the best protein that I've ever found. It's like nothing else. It looks and tastes like juice, but has as much protein in as a normal protein shake does. It's so easy to drink that you can have it during your workout. It mixes super easily. It's got tangy flavors like pineapple, an apple, an orange and mango, which is my favorite, or mango, coconut. If you have digestive discomfort, usually when you have protein shakes and they leave you feeling all bloated and a little bit uncomfortable, this is the solution. Everybody that I've converted to the Church of Clearway is now an acolyte, the same as me. Also, they're gooey cookies. If you get those and put them in the microwave for 30 seconds with a bit of Greek yogurt, it is, I think it ends up being 30 grams of protein, so like more than a chicken breast, and you're basically having some gorgeous sort of dessert thing.
