What if your body was designed to thrive — and longevity was less about genetics and more about your daily habits?

In this episode of The Inner Entrepreneur Bite-Size, Dr. Otto Janke shares simple foundations of long-term health — and why most people only focus on them when it’s almost too late.

We explore:

• The daily rituals that unlock your body’s natural health blueprint
• How great sleep, clean food, and consistent movement outperform medication
• Why American health culture is failing — and what we can learn from other countries
• The myth of “I’ll sleep when I’m dead” — and why it’s slowly killing us
• What every entrepreneur should prioritize (but rarely does)

This isn’t a fitness episode. It’s a longevity roadmap — simple, sustainable, powerful.

Gaia breaks down her Total Intelligence Method — integrating body, mind, heart, and purpose — and explains why entrepreneurs must stop chasing more and start living aligned.

• The simple practice to reconnect with yourself in under 5 minutes

• How to stop chasing significance and start living with meaning

Show Notes:

In this Bite-Size episode, Steven Twohig and I unpack one of the most difficult parts of transformation: why most people never change, even after powerful breakthrough experiences.

We discuss:

• The illusion of instant transformation.
• Why breakthrough events (like UPW) often aren’t enough.
• The brutal 2-year period I personally went through after my own wake-up moment.
• The fear that keeps most people from facing the work.
• Why real change requires going into the messiness — not avoiding it.
• How identity plays a crucial role in whether we follow through.

This is the honest, unfiltered truth about the price of real change — and why so few ever pay it.

Summary:

In this soul-baring episode, Paul sits down with author and creative voice P. Lister to explore what it really means to grow through emotional pain.

Topics Covered:

• Why emotional pain often signals transformation
• The surprising lessons of 10-day silent meditation
• How vulnerability fuels creativity
• What it means to write the truth — and stand for it
• How to stop seeing yourself as broken and start owning your journey

Power Quotes:

“You’re not broken — you’re just growing.” “I thought I was falling apart. I was really just unfolding.” “My mind created more suffering than the pain.” “The stories I feared most… became the doorway to healing.”
