Teej, Shake, and Crisp come from different backgrounds and areas of the US (New York, Los Angeles, and Chicago, respectively) to discuss levers as they pertain to health, psychology, finance, and more. Using a lever, a very small force can create a very large one. We hope to enable our audience to find leverage in life.https://levers.captivate.fmyesepisodic#23 - Real Yield in Crypto#23 - Real Yield in Cryptohttps://twitter.com/LeveredLads?s=20&t=8rUhxcHO0yP3plI4GfeJ5w

An environmental inevitability since human inception and long a spiritual and religious practice, fasting is a powerful form of leverage. Throughout the wandering episode, we hit on fasting modalities, how fasting is unfairly condemned in modern society, the critical signals such a practice sends to the body, and some of the obvious and more subtle beauties of abstinence from food and drink.
