(2:00) Vinnie shares his longtime interest in kids' health issues. Mark states his concerns are also in emotional health, resilience, and learning to think rationally, not just emotionally. (6:00) He calls it the "anti-life" movement and explains why. This leads to a discussion of media and other interests misrepresenting information or outright lying, from pandemic issues to vegan activists, and other health issues. (12:00) Mark states how there cannot be reasonable discussion without the foundation of provable truth. (20:30) They chat about the inconsistencies in rules during the pandemic. They share thoughts about sports as a meritocracy and how life lessons are being overlooked by softening rules. (46:00) They talk about how things like disappointment, and how losing can be a launchpad for learning life lessons. Vinnie mentions his philosophy of "Failure Quotient", and what it means to get back up after a failure. Vinnie shares how his building a kayak has been a life experience he appreciates--and it's way more than simply being an owner of a kayak.
