Sweden Biohacker Summit Hot Seat Podcast

I attended (and spoke at) the Biohacker Summit in Stockholm, Sweden last week.

As we previewed in a recent episode of the OPP, these Biohacker Summits are among the premier events in the world for people passionate about self-improvement and progress.

Another epic conference, means another fan-favorite hot seat podcast. We've done 2 of these "hot seat" shows with amazing feedback - they're some of our most-downloaded episodes as they're packed from start to finish with actionable advice.

Here are links to those previous episodes: Bulletproof Conference Hot Seat Show & the Team Natural Stacks Hot Seat Episode.

If you're new to the Hot Seat format, here's how it works: 5 experts get the same 6 questions. Each expert is on the hot seat for 5-10 minutes. The result is pure gold for you the listener.

This is exactly what we did in previous episodes, but of course, to keep it fresh, I've made a few modifications to the questions.
