#31: Armand Uno – Nootropics, Gong Fu Tea & The Art of Podcasting

This episode is a crossover from Josh's recent appearance on The PlayHard Podcast with Armand Uno.

Armand is an early-stage startup founder and the host of the PlayHard Podcast, where he interviews entrepreneurs weekly about their healthy habits and hobbies to combat stress and burnout and maintain balance.

In this episode, we dive into quite a lot, including:

• The art of podcasting and being a good interviewer.
• The long-term impact of Adderal and caffeine use.
• Battling an autoimmune condition as an entrepreneur.
• The science-practice gap.
• Supplements and nootropics for ADHD.
• The lack of transparency in the supplement industry.
• A deep dive into the traditional Chinese gongfu style of making tea.
• How tea can be a mindfulness practice.
• Some of my favorite recent movies, music, books, and more.
