The Permanent Standard Time Health Benefits you’re not hearing enough about go far beyond convenience or seasonal preference. In this conversation, Jay Pea, founder and president of Save Standard Time, breaks down why ending clock changes matters for our sleep, safety, health, and society at large.

We explore the hidden biological, cultural, and economic consequences of shifting the clock twice a year and why permanent Standard Time is the most science-backed, health-protective solution.

From the history of how DST began, to its surprising lobbying origins, to the modern legislative tug-of-war, this episode demystifies one of the most misunderstood public health issues in America.

If you care about better sleep, better decision-making, safer mornings for kids, or being aligned with nature’s rhythms, this is a must-listen.

How do you lead at the highest level when everyone assumes you already have all the answers? In this episode, Anthony Moss joins Julian Hayes II to discuss the importance of a CEO advisory board and unpack the “commercially lonely” reality of being a CEO, along with why the smartest leaders are the ones willing to be vulnerable and surround themselves with the right thinking partners.

Anthony draws on decades of experience as a CEO, advisor, and author to explain how properly structured advisory boards can transform both decision-making and personal capacity. You’ll hear the difference between a board of directors and an advisory board, why so many founders wake up years later wondering, “How did I end up running this business?”, and how leaders can engineer support systems that sharpen strategy, protect their energy, and ultimately multiply value across the organization.

High-level leaders often ask how to deal with stress, but most never consider the cost of visibility. In this episode, Julian Hayes II breaks down the hidden physiological and psychological load carried by CEOs, founders, and A-level operators whose presence is constantly being interpreted, analyzed, and amplified.

Drawing on executive physiology, leadership psychology, and his work within Executive Health, Julian reveals why modern visibility subtly reshapes the nervous system and why traditional stress advice often fails at the highest levels. He introduces four essential playbooks that create stability, sharpen performance, and prevent leaders from burning out while remaining at their peak.

You’ll learn why composure is a form of currency, why internal structure matters more than external pressure, and how biological alignment gives elite performers an unfair advantage in high-stakes environments.

This is a masterclass for any leader operating under constant observation—online or offline.

“Composure is a form of currency. In high-visibility roles, it’s the rarest one.”
