**Chris Williamson** (0:00)
Hello, everybody. Welcome back to the show. My guest today is Scott Galloway. He's a clinical professor of marketing at the New York Stern School of Business, a public speaker, entrepreneur and an author. Millennials are the first generation who have not done better than their parents. Educational outcomes, finances, home ownership, mental health and marriage rates are all thrown up in the air. Why has this happened? And what can we do about it? Expect to learn why COVID worsened the wealth gap more than it already was. Why TikTok is a Trojan stallion, which should be immediately banned. Why news pundits suck so much. What makes a news story go viral? Scott's advice to young people on how to maximize effectiveness in life. The most important things to focus on in order to be happy. And much more. Don't forget, if you are listening, you might not be subscribed. And that means you're going to miss episodes when they go up. And it's a great way to support the show.

And you know it. And this is going to help. With so many stresses in life, it is difficult to maintain effective nutritional habits and give our bodies the nutrients it needs to thrive.

The main reason that I or the main difference that I notice from when I take it to when I forget is my digestion. It makes such a big difference to my digestion and my energy levels.
