Man, this week was a whirlwind. Greg and I kicked things off running on 3.5 hours of sleep , fresh off the trip to Hack Your Health in Tampa. Between the travel, the steakhouse meat sweats, and a heavy training day, everything felt a little heavier than normal — but we still got after it. The event itself was awesome. I sat on the food addiction panel , which was packed again this year — standing room only. The panel lineup was solid, and we all wished we had more than 40 minutes because that topic deserves way more depth. Robin even mentioned maybe bumping us to a bigger stage next year. We recapped the whole Tampa weekend — Whole Foods runs, hanging with Bill and Christina, early-morning workouts with Danny Vega, Mike Mutzel, Jonathan Shane, and others. I left midday Saturday to swing by Dom D’Agostino’s place , tour his property, chainsaw fallen trees, and hit an outdoor lift before meeting back up with the guys for Brazilian BBQ. Back home, we’re gearing up for Thanksgiving week — a short but heavy workload. We’ve got team training on the new software and a big wave of packaging to prep for. The big announcement: We’re launching the Tallow Nootropic Brick with Keto Brainz — dropping this Sunday at noon Central . Full serving of nootropics, whey-based, no nut butter, and honestly… The tallow version blew the original cacao version out of the water. On the homestead front, I might finally get my truck back after replacing basically the whole front end — and yes, I went ahead and upgraded to a lift and bigger tires because, why not? We’re also adding pigs to the farm this week, so I’ve been building shelters and prepping electric fencing. Super excited for Rigel to have real daily responsibilities; chores build discipline, character, and work ethic. And then… the spicy teaser: We’ve got nine pallets of extremely high-end gear in transit from Canada — the best bags and accessories I’ve ever used. The import duties were insane , like “could’ve bought a car” insane, but we’re committed to offering the best when we relaunch apparel in early 2026. It’s going to be a full lifestyle line, not just T-shirts. We wrapped up talking travel, camaraderie, and why it’s great to be surrounded by people who just get the lifestyle — early gyms, Whole Foods runs, cooking at the Airbnb, no explanations needed. Another solid week, another packed episode. Onward.
