One of the best decisions in my life was creating on the internet way back in 2020.

In that 3 year span, I've amassed 1.4 million followers across various social media platforms but, most importantly, I've made good friends along the way.

Entrepreneurship can be lonely at times. In the beginning, there are not a lot of people you can relate to who are going through the things you are.

It takes a while to find your tribe and I'm grateful to say that I've found mine. The great thing about it is that everyone I've met is better offline than online.

Just the other day I traveled down to Vancouver to meet Sahil Bloom, who I've been talking to for the past year.

I thought he was great before but I'm glad to say he's smarter and kinder in person than online.

Finally to meet the great @SahilBloom last night in person.

I didn’t think it was possible but he’s even more smart and handsome in person than he is on the internet. pic.twitter.com/rLwiqHv3jU

My hope for you is that you've found your tribe. That you have a community of people that can relate to you.

Building a community is an investment in the betterment of self. Put time into it.

That being said...

Here is your 4 Minute Friday:

1. The Best Sport To Live Longer

When I was a kid my brother used to force me to play sports with him. Volleyball, badminton, ping pong, and tennis...you name it.

I used to think that he was using me as a practice dummy but maybe he was trying to help me live longer.

There was a 25-year-long study called the ​Copenhagen City Heart Study​ that tracked more than 8500 people.

They found that the sports that increased life expectancy the most were:

Tennis: 9.7 years
Badminton: 6.2 years
Soccer: 4.7 years
Cycling: 3.7 years
Swimming: 3.4 years
Jogging: 3.2 years
Calisthenics: 3.1 years

There are a few reasons why racquet sports dominate the top spots:

1. They are community-based. You play these sports with a group of people who eventually become your friends.
2. They are a form of zone 2 cardio, which has been shown to extend lifespan.
3. They relieve stress. You can't think of work or other stresses when playing these sports. You need to be present.

Add in the element of hand-to-eye coordination and you have a recipe for living longer both physically and mentally.

I don't know about you but I'm about to invest in a few pickleball racquets.

2. A Simple Workout Hack To Get Stronger

Something I've realized about getting a great workout is that it's a mental game.

We usually stop ourselves mentally before we've exhausted ourselves physically. I've tried many things in my workouts but one of them has a success rate of 99%.

It's something we use with our ​clients​ and in our ​Lean Body 90 course​ with great success:

When you're lifting, instead of counting up to your desired rep target (ie. 1, 2, 3, 4 etc..) count down from it. (ie. 10, 9, 8, 7, 6 etc..).

Why this works:

Your brain hates an open loop. It desires completion. When you count down from your desired rep target your brain wants to complete the repetitions more than if you counted up.

Try this out in your next workout to see how it works.

3. The 10 Best Foods For Magnesium

I've talked a lot about magnesium and how it's one of the most underrated supplements for your body.

If you want a primer on why magnesium is great for your body go here:

Finding the right supplement can change your life.

There's one in particular that's had a massive impact on mine and it's Magnesium.

Magnesium is needed for your cells to function yet some studies show that up to 90 % of people are magnesium deficient.

While I'm a huge believer in getting magnesium through supplementation there are alternate ways you can up your magnesium intake, specifically through your diet.

Here are the 10 best foods to increase your magnesium intake:

1. Dark chocolate
2. Avocados
3. Brazil nuts
4. Legumes
5. Tofu
6. Seeds
7. Whole grains
8. Fatty fish (salmon, mackerel, halibut)
9. Bananas
10. Leafy greens

If you're not down to take magnesium through supplementation these are great options to increase your intake.
