Yesterday morning, the latest episode of Transformation Talks dropped: How to Make Your Diet WAY More Fun & Flavorful with Ben Johnson He's a longtime friend, fellow coach, and experienced cook, and we talked about: ➡️ Why food is so much more than "fuel"—including some of our favorite travel and social experiences that illustrate this ➡️ How to approach your diet if you're somebody who gets bored eating the same things over and over ➡️ Why learning how to make healthy foods tastier is FAR more effective than just trying to avoid the "bad" ones ➡️ How most people look in the wrong places for more protein... and where to look instead (I loved this part) ➡️ His biggest tips for navigating restaurant meals while you're dieting You'll even hear some bad Spanish and Brazilian Portuguese! Here are the links: If you'd rather watch, it's also on YouTube: Funny enough, I think this episode is for people like Ben, who enjoy cooking and experimenting in the kitchen... and people like me, who can't be bothered, and value speed and convenience the most. He has us both covered. Will you let me know what you think? I'd love your feedback, and any requests or suggestions you have for future episodes. Sam P.S. I've been super bad about promoting them, but I also recently dropped episodes on:

Probably a year ago now, I read In Other Words on the recommendation of a client. It's a book about language learning, and the challenges and lessons that come with it.

An analogy in the book that resonated with me is how learning a language is like being on a beach, and having to swim out to an island to achieve fluency. But most people—myself included—only ever venture a little off shore (think basic...
If you want high quality, affordable supplements... Buenos Aires ain't it. Thanks to a history of limited imports from other countries, options here are sparse, and often egregiously overpriced. Case in point, the vegan protein powder I just bought for 67,000 Argentine pesos. That's about 48 USD. I could get the same amount of vegan protein powder in the U.S. for... 15 bucks! Bananas.
