Thrive Global CEO Arianna Huffington on Well-Being, High Performance, Habit Development

Arianna Huffington (0:00)

For so many decades, we've thought of performance and well-being as somehow being in opposition to each other. Even the term work-life balance, if you think of it, suggests that somehow you have to balance the two, while the truth is that they rise or fall in tandem.

Welcome back or welcome to the Finding Mastery podcast. I'm Michael Gervais. The idea behind these conversations is to learn and to learn how to apply the insights from people on the path of mastery. We want to understand more specifically what they're searching for. We want to understand their psychological framework, which is how they see the world, their craft, and how they explain events in their life. And we also want to dig to understand the mental skills that they've used to build and refine their world-class craft.

Finding Mastery is brought to you by Neurohacker. There's a good chance that you're interested in aging well. And if that's the case for you, it's really important to understand a bit of the science behind aging. You might have heard about senescent cells, often referred to as zombie cells. These are old, worn out cells that linger in your body, consuming energy and nutrients without contributing to your health. So as you age, these cells accumulate, leading to common aging symptoms like decreased mental and physical energy, slower recovery from workouts, joint discomfort, less flexibility and so on. So enter Qualia Senolytic by Neurohacker, a science-backed formula that is designed to help your body naturally eliminate these zombie cells. This formula includes a game-changing combination of ingredients that are aimed at extending your prime years. They've made it really simple. You just take the product two days a month.

That's it. It's like a monthly cleanse for your cells.

Finding Mastery is brought to you by Facet.

When we think about what it takes to thrive and to live a life of flourishing, there's no doubt that financial wellness is a big part of that equation.

There's lots of ways to manage your money. And here's one that you might be interested in.

Facet is the next generation of personalized financial planning. They're on a mission to make expert financial advice accessible to the masses.

So Facet provides you with flexible access to a team of financial planners and a team of experts across retirement planning, tax strategy, estate planning and more.

And the best part here is that instead of taking a percentage of your portfolio, Facet only charges an affordable flat membership fee and doesn't charge you to invest with them. This is extremely rare for the industry. As you probably know, most financial advisors charge you a percentage of your assets. And even if it's only 1%, those fees can really add up over the course of your lifetime. And because you're listening to this podcast, Facet is hooking you up with a great offer. When you sign up today, Facet will waive the $250 enrollment fee for new annual members. And they have an epic limited time offer on top of that.

To learn more, just head to facet.com/fm. Again, this one is a little different. That's facet, facet.com/fm. To waive your enrollment fee and to learn more about their limited time offer. A little disclosure here. Facet Wealth Inc. is an SEC registered investment advisor headquartered in Baltimore, Maryland.

This conversation is with Arianna Huffington. Most of you know exactly who Arianna is. And she's the founder and CEO of Thrive Global, the founder of The Huffington Post. And she's authored 15 books. So her ideas are prevalent. But the formats that she's created to share and spread ideas are world class. And her most recent book has been deeply focused on The Sleep Revolution and the concepts around thriving. So Arianna had, I mean, her life efforts are extraordinary. She's been named to Time Magazine's list of world's most 100 influential people and Forbes most powerful women list. How cool is that? Like that's really cool. Not from like an external, but like, oh, how great it is to be on that list. No, no, no. But like when we think about what she's about to share with us in this conversation, it's coming from a framework of being one of the most influential people in the world. That's really cool. And so the work in this conversation is try to unpack and understand how does she think and how is she conditioned and trained her mind to be extraordinary on a day to day basis. And so let's do a little timeframe thing here. In 2005, she launched The Huffington Post.
