    The Most Important Thing

    The way we really grow and transcend, become better, people, companies, etc. We have to chase that discomfort, that’s how we get to the next level. 

    About Guest

    Eric Pilon-Bignell is a pragmatic futurist and the best-selling author of “Surfing Rogue Waves”, a book that discusses the constant anomaly of change and how humanity is pushed to navigate through this exponential pace of disruption.

    About “Surfing Rogue Waves”

    “Surfing Rogue Waves” presented the idea of Disruption as a means of moving forward in the future rather than being overtaken by the “Waves”. In this book, Eric shares how we could shape our life and the future of humanity with our decisions amidst change.

    Episode Overview

    In this episode, Eric and I discuss the future and the fear it brings for most humans. We touch on certain emerging world conflicts and how we can engage with change at such a massive scale. We exchanged views of the world, happiness, and how we think it will progress after the changes that the pandemic brought.

    My Favorite Quotes:

    “We can't put a pin on any one of these because these waves are coming all over, but that kind of equal excitement and fear. I feel that’s where I’m at, I’m so excited about this, there's gonna be so many incredible things.”

    “My ego was “how do I always do more, how do I increase my peak performance?”

    “I'm getting my ass kicked on small waves. Right. But, but I'm in the zone. Like I'm locked in, I'm paddling, I'm focused, everything changes. I'm like, I'm intense and it's this really cool mix which we have in life.”

    “Happiness is how hard it is for you to achieve what you want to get."

    Episode Breakdown:

    04:03 - Writing the book during Covid-19 Lockdown

    05:37 - Eric looking back through his journey, life aspirations, and changes

    07:35 - Perspective of the future, curiosity and what it could bring

    14:30 - “A lot of our old fears are almost like, I guess the buzz word, like fake fears now.” The definition of fear in a modern age, violence, famine, etc

    20:30 - The inequality of wealth and its history in relation to happiness

    27:40 - South Korea, plastic surgery and the scale of happiness

    32:25 - The Fourth Industrial Revolution and technological transformation, to do or to die

    44:38 - What is happiness to Eric?

  • Part II: Why We Breathe

    Part II: Why We Breathe
    2021/09/14
    Editors note: This is part 2 of our 2 part episode with Professor Jack Feldman, don’t forget to catch our first episode here. The Most Important ThingWe continue our conversation with Professor Jack Feldman on how he revolutionized our understanding of the neural control of breathing. We dived deeper into the topic of breathing and how it has the ability to change our emotional state. I also get to run a few yoga teachings on the breath by Jack to see how they align (or don’t) with his scientific understanding. About the GuestJack Feldman is a distinguished Professor of Neurobiology, he also holds a Ph.D. in Physics and is currently teaching at UCLA. His contributions to understanding the mechanisms of breathing and sighing include the pre-Bötzinger complex and demonstrating the essential role in generating respiratory rhythm in fetal, neonatal, and adult mammals. Jack Feldman’s influence is evident in numerous highly cited reviews, textbooks, and lectures. He was awarded the prestigious Hodgkin, Huxley, Katz Prize of The Physiological Society.Episode OverviewIn part two of this episode, Professor Jack Feldman shared his thoughts on living through the polio epidemic and broke down of the importance of a vaccine. Besides that, he also shared how his study finds that breathing could affect cognitive functions positively.Jack also took a few moments to highlight the differences in breathing between animals and humans in this episode.My Favorite Quotes“I've been wearing a seatbelt for ever since they became available. I've yet to get in a serious car accident. So you could argue why bother wearing a seatbelt? Well, you wear a seatbelt because the consequences of the rare possibility you get in an accident.”“if you weigh that against the possibility that the vaccine does something negative right now, that data is extremely small. I wouldn't say zero. It's extremely small. And certainly if the odds are 99.999999 in favor.”“One of the ways that the brain consolidates it's information is then when things repeat, it strengthens the connections between neurons.”“If you're less anxious, you're likely to have a longer lifespan if you could maintain it.”“When we think about how breath could be influencing higher function, cognition, or emotion, the signals that are related to breathing can arrive in the brain by a variety of pathways. Every time you expand your lungs, there are receptors in your lungs that become activated. They send signals up into the brainstem, through the vagus nerve.”Episode Breakdown (Part 1)05:10 - Jack’s recollection of the Polio endemic 08:30 - Touching on vaccines and Covid-1913:00 - Neuro scientist on brain functions27:30 - Thoughts on elogating breathing extending lifespans 34:38 - How breathing affects our mental states44:30 - Something that Jack still finds surprising from his research48:06 - A research that Jack personally wants to testEpisode LinksProfessor Jack Feldman’s InfoJack Feldman - InstagramJack Feldman - LinkedInJack’s scientific journals - Google Scholar Jack Feldman’s UCLA Profile and PublicationsReferences made in the episodeThe Science of Breath, Swami RamaBox Breathing TechniqueLight on Yoga, BKS IyengarOverview of Nadi ChannelsAlternate Nostril BreathingMarc’s InfoLook Up!

    Part I: Why We Breathe
    2021/09/06
    The Most Important ThingHow can something as simple as breathing impact our health and optimize performance? Famous for his breakthrough contributions within the field of breathing, sighing, and discovering the pre-botzinger complex. Jack Feldman takes us through almost four decades of his career, researching and discovering a process we all take for granted, breathing. About the GuestJack Feldman is a distinguished Professor of Neurobiology, he also holds a Ph.D. in Physics and is currently teaching at UCLA. His contributions to understanding the mechanisms of breathing and sighing include the pre-Bötzinger complex and demonstrating the essential role in generating respiratory rhythm in fetal, neonatal, and adult mammals. Jack Feldman’s influence is evident in numerous highly cited reviews, textbooks, and lectures. He was awarded the prestigious Hodgkin, Huxley, Katz Prize of The Physiological Society.About “what Jack Feldman does”Professor Feldman’s laboratory focuses on the central problem confronting neuroscientists: how molecular, synaptic, and cellular properties of individual neurons in densely interconnected networks result in behaviors ranging from playing the piano to writing a book. Through a unique model system that enables them to perform studies that address this issue, Feldman and his colleagues are able to test their current hypothesis: pacemaker neurons underlie the generation of respiratory rhythmEpisode OverviewIn part one of this episode, we got to speak to Professor Jack Feldman about his research into the field of breathing, sighing, and developing the Pre-Botzinger Complex. Jack broke down his journey of how he got into the research, conducting crazy experiments and took almost a decade trying to convince people of the importance of breaths. Jack also took a few moments to highlight how a study into brain stems kickstarted his interest in the topic of the brain breath connection.My Favorite Quotes“You can't do anything interesting if you're afraid of failing and I'm willing to bet that that's something that people in your realm also follow.”“You make investments, but some of the best investments are the things that might ultimately fail, but they could be spectacular.”“One of the challenges in science is that the technology progresses and sometimes the technology allows you to answer questions that are very important. You can answer before. The problem with that is that we're under a lot of pressure as scientists to keep producing. And when a new technique comes along, you have to learn it sometimes have to spend a lot of money to get the equipment necessary to do that and that the tracks, your productivity.”“Just like your car has one engine. We thought there would be a single-engine for breathing. We discovered about 15 years later that there appears to be a second engine and one engine is devoted to generating the inspiratory rhythm and the other is involved in generating rhythm.”“I realized that the literature was just simply wrong and we embarked upon a series of crazy experiments to try and see if we could localize a site for generating breathing. I wouldn't say much to my surprise that we identified a relatively small spot in the brainstem that seemed to be critical for the generation.”“You have to be resilient and you have to be persistent. At some point, you have to believe that you have an idea that's worth pursuing. ”“You have to be careful where you become too much of a believer in an idea because things often, even good ideas get overturned as science progresses, and you have to be able to recognize it.”Episode Breakdown (Part 1)03:17 - Jack’s most surprising discovery about brain + breath connection08:30 - Closely held belief of how breath was generated16:51 - When and why Jack started researching breathing20:40 - How the study of breathing came about 33:00 - How a scientific peer review could make or break an experiment or theoryCatch the rest of the episode in part 2Episode LinksProfessor Jack Feldman’s InfoJack Feldman - InstagramJack Feldman - LinkedInJack’s scientific journals - Google Scholar Jack Feldman’s UCLA Profile and PublicationsReferences made in the episodeBreathing Matters VideoBreathing Matters ArticleScience.orgNature.comIn Search of Memory, Eric KandelMarc’s InfoLook Up!
