What if fear isn’t something you need to overcome?

Alex Honnold is the legendary professional rock climber behind Free Solo, best known for becoming the first person to free solo Yosemite’s 3,000-foot El Capitan without ropes or safety equipment.

In this moment, Alex explains why he still feels fear, and how decades of repeatedly confronting it have changed the way he responds to it. He reveals how to make seemingly impossible challenges feel manageable, and shares a provocative perspective on modern life and what it means to feel free.

Former US Secretary of Transportation Pete Buttigieg says the American experiment is on the brink. He argues that the country is at risk of losing its democracy, the problems Americans feel every day are not accidents, and that fixing it will mean doing the hard things almost no one wants to do.
Pete Buttigieg is the former United States Secretary of Transportation, the former mayor of South Bend, Indiana, a Rhodes Scholar, and a Navy veteran who served in Afghanistan. He ran for president in 2020 and is now widely regarded as one of the frontrunners for the Democratic nomination for President in 2028. Out of office for the first time in years, he speaks with unusual candour about power, war, the economy, and where America goes next.
He explains:
◼ Why he believes American democracy is genuinely on the brink, and what it would actually take to save it
◼ The real story behind the strike on Iran and the "ceasefire" that wasn't
◼ Why a billionaire can pay a lower tax rate than a teacher or a firefighter, and whether a wealth tax is the answer
◼ How AI is about to disrupt not just jobs but people's identities, and who he thinks should share in the gains
◼ What he says the administration really hid about the American troops who died

Nearly 1 in 3 American adults now take vitamin D, but Dr. Stasha Gominak says many of them are taking it wrong, and that done carelessly, supplementing can leave you worse off than before.

Dr. Stasha Gominak practiced neurology for over 20 years. She earned her MD from Baylor College of Medicine and completed her neurology residency at the Harvard-affiliated Massachusetts General Hospital. After working with her own patients, she believes that nearly everyone struggling to sleep shares the same hidden deficiency, a conclusion she published in 2 papers and built into RightSleep, the method she now teaches full time.

She explains:
◼ Why she believes your skin is the best producer of vitamin D, and why she says no amount of pills or salmon can replace it
◼ Why she believes insomnia isn't a behavior problem but a chemical deficiency, and what she thinks changed when we moved indoors
◼ The role she says your gut bacteria play in producing your B vitamins
◼ Why she believes taking vitamin D on its own can burn through your B vitamins, and what she says happened when she tried it herself
◼ Why she connects the rise in conditions like ADHD, depression, fatty liver and diabetes to the same period, and what she thinks links them
◼ Why she considers supplements a form of biohacking, and just as risky as any drug if you get them wrong

The War everyone assumed was over may be about to become something far worse than we could have expected. Professor Robert Pape explains exactly why the deadliest phase of this war is still ahead, and how this could trigger a wave of terror across the world.
Robert Pape is a Professor of Political Science at the University of Chicago and director of the Chicago Project on Security and Threats. A renowned political scientist, he has advised every White House since 9/11 on military strategy and is the author of the upcoming book “Our Own Worst Enemies: America and the Age of Violent Populism”.
He explains:
■ Why the US bombing campaign failed to topple Iran’s regime, even after killing its top leaders
■ How Iran seized control of 20% of the world’s oil supply within days of the war starting
■ Why the failed agreement handed Iran a path to becoming the most powerful country in the region
■ Why both China and Russia gain from America staying stuck in the Middle East
■ Why he thinks US ground troops could be next
■ Why he thinks there will be a clash between Congress and the president over who really controls the power to go to war

Every founder is being told to build an AI company. Alex Hormozi says almost all of them will be gone within months, that the best move is the exact opposite of what the market is saying, and that in a world of AI the only moat left will be reality and your reputation.
Alex Hormozi is a entrepreneur, investor and author. He is the co-founder of Acquisition.com, a portfolio of 16+ companies generating over $250 million a year, and the author of the $100M series: '$100M Offers', '$100M Leads' and '$100M Money Models', whose 2025 launch sold 2.9 million copies in a single day and broke the Guinness World Record for the fastest-selling non-fiction book in history.
He explains:
◼ Why the practical businesses, like plumbing, are the real opportunity, not the ones built on top of AI models
◼ Why delegating your hardest thinking to a machine makes you weak
◼ Why reality and reputation are the only moats AI can't erode
◼ Why revenue retention matters more than marketing or sales
◼ Why marrying his wife Leila was the best financial decision he ever made, and how the right partner changes your odds
◼ He opens up about one of the hardest years of his life, in the same year he made more money than ever

1,700 Americans will die from cancer today. 70 every single hour. Professor Thomas Seyfried says it doesn't have to be this way, and that mainstream oncology has misunderstood cancer for 100 years.

Thomas Seyfried, PhD, is a professor of biology at Boston College and one of the world's leading researchers on the metabolic origins of cancer. He is author of the book 'Cancer as a Metabolic Disease: On the Origin, Management, and Prevention of Cancer' and co-developer of the Glucose Ketone Index (GKI) and the “press-pulse” therapeutic strategy. 

He explains:

◼ Why he believes cancer is a mitochondrial metabolic disease, not a genetic one

◼ Why cancer cells feed on two fuels and the strategy his team uses to starve tumors 

◼ How a ketogenic diet could lower your GKI and make chemo and immunotherapy work better

◼ The environmental drivers quietly damaging your mitochondria

◼ How his team is keeping glioblastoma patients alive for years, and why almost no patient is ever told this option exists

Ex-OpenAI researcher Daniel Kokotajlo walked away from $2 million rather than stay silent, and now reveals why he believes there's a 70% chance AI leads to human extinction, why superintelligence could arrive before the end of the decade, and the one plan he thinks could still save us all!

Daniel Kokotajlo is a former OpenAI researcher and one of the world's leading AI forecasters. He is the founder of the AI Futures Project and the lead author of 'AI 2027', the widely-read scenario mapping the trajectory of artificial intelligence. His follow-up, 'AI 2040: Plan A', sets out how the world could still navigate superintelligence safely.

He explains:
■ What he saw inside OpenAI that made him walk away

■ Why the people building AI privately believe it's coming even sooner than the public is being told
■ What happens if AI becomes powerful enough that humans can no longer control it, and why he puts the odds of catastrophe as high as 70%
■ Why almost every job could be automated, and what that means for the next generation
■ The plan he believes could still lead to abundance and a future worth living in

Dustin Poirier (“The Diamond”) is a retired UFC lightweight fighter with a 30-10 record, best known as the only man to knock out Conor McGregor in MMA. He founded The Good Fight Foundation with his wife, Jolie, in 2018 and now appears periodically as a desk analyst on UFC broadcasts.

◼ How a childhood of poverty, detention and no father figure shaped the man he became
◼ Why elite athletes often fall apart when they retire, and what to do about it
◼ What going to therapy taught him about the pain he didn't know he was carrying
◼ The mental shift that turned losing to Conor McGregor into beating him

Women’s sex lives are being quietly destroyed, and their doctors don’t even know it… Sexual medicine specialist Dr Rachel Rubin reveals the hidden hormone crisis, how prescription drugs can impact sex, and the treatments most doctors aren't prescribing like Hormone Replacement Therapy.
Dr Rachel Rubin is a board-certified urologist and sexual medicine specialist, and one of only 80 doctors in the US trained to treat both male and female sexual health.

She explains:
◼️ Why most doctors fail women on sexual health, and how to build a team that won't
◼️ Why menopause is a whole-body hormone event, and the treatments that actually help
◼️ The physical barrier blocking orgasm in 1 in 4 women, and how to fix it
◼️ How a tight pelvic floor could be ruining your sex life
◼️ Why your sexual pain and low libido are physical problems your doctor keeps missing
