As always, no ads in the middle.
I try to make these interesting, but if you skip them, please still check out our sponsors. I enjoy their stuff. Maybe you will too. This episode is brought to you by Element, a thing I'm drinking right now. I think that's delicious. A thing that's really good when you do fasting, whether that's for 24 hours, for 72 hours, for anything.
I mean, I guess you could fast without any of that, but that's... going to be not a fun time. When you do low carb diets like I do or ultra low carb or just carnivore, also getting your electrolytes is really important. Also, if you do any kind of long distance cardio, so long distance running, for example, for me, getting your electrolytes is really, really important.
It's kind of crazy how big of a difference it can make when you get the sodium and the potassium and the magnesium right. And element is just the delicious way to get those right. My favorite flavor is watermelon salt. That's what I'm drinking right now. That's what I've always been drinking. On the podcast, usually you see me with some water. There's some element in that water.
And it's the thing that makes me happy. It brings me a little bit of a sip of joy, if you will. Get a simple pack for free with any purchase. Try it at drinkelement.com. This episode is also brought to you by Notion, a note-taking and team collaboration tool. I've been using it a lot to think through ideas.
It really helps me to, through bullet point lists, nested bullet point lists, to really map out what I think about a thing. And I just kind of do an idea dump, a thought dump, a stream of consciousness dump into it, and then I reorganize it. They also have a really nice AI assistant, really nice integration of an LLM into the whole process that just helps with everything.
It can summarize, it can expand on what you're writing, it can generate the first draft of a thing you're writing. You can also ask it a bunch of stuff about
project like collaboration i know people that use it for that i think that's probably a really amazing thing to use it for i currently just do a wolf pack of one solo i need to probably start to use it in collaboration with the team it's amazing for that i just haven't taken the leap yet but as a note-taking thing and actually collaboration on a sort of two-person thing which i have it use it for is really really amazing i highly recommend it
