In today's episode, Darien & Hayden discuss the acronym K.I.S.S. and why it's important for you to not make things more difficult than they need to be. Before they dive into that, the episode begins with the two of them talking about their own thoughts about kissing on the first date (2:15). Hayden then talks about why he decided to switch the script from "Keep It Simple Stupid" to "Keep It Stupid Simple" (13:00). Darien then gets into the topic of research studies (such as diet soda and artificial sweeteners pertaining to weight-loss) and why the average person should not rely on a single study as sufficient information to base their life around (18:00). Hayden reflects on his Instagram post and talks more about why starting is the hardest part and sometimes you just have to do the damn thing (32:20). Building a skill takes time and focusing on one aspect at a time is going to be the easiest way to get there, Darien reflects on counting calories and learning how to squat (37:40). People focus too much on the end result rather than enjoying the process of obtaining that result and Hayden once again brings up his journey to building his legs (49:10). They circle-back to bring up the phrase "studies show" and reference Layne Norton, a man big into the fitness industry that is also trying to end the stigma around confusing weight-loss (63:40). They end the episode by discussing consultations and why it's beneficial to have a coach or a trainer help guide you along the way to help simplify the process for you (70:00).
