The Superhuman Podcast

In this episode of the Superhuman Podcast, I sit down with Alexander, the creator of Ulys Quest - a first-of-its-kind "travel-to-earn" platform that combines real-world exploration with geospatial tech, blockchain rewards, and gamification. Alexander spent nearly 30 years in IT and then went all-in building something most people thought was impossible: a living digital treasure hunt where you visit landmarks, confirm your presence, and earn rewards. We talk about the reality of being "too old" for corporate work, what it takes to build a real product (not just an MVP), and why his mission is bigger than crypto - it's about getting people back into the physical world with purpose. In this episode, we cover: The "great flattening" and why many experienced tech workers are getting pushed out How Ulys Quest works: visit → confirm → earn Why building a fully functional product matters The NFT "digital landmark" model and how it creates passive income mechanics Using AI as a real-world tour guide + route generator Why he wants this to become community-owned (DAO) The deeper mission: restoration, education, and real-world impact Links & Resources (mentioned): Ulys Quest: https://ulys.site

Most founders can get to $1M–$5M. Then they hit the ceiling. In this episode, Riley sits down with Jeff Reynolds (CEO, author, Managing Director at Sellside Group, and founder of PSF Accelerator) to unpack what actually separates service businesses that scale, become sellable, and command premium valuations from the ones that plateau. Jeff has helped grow, buy, and sell leading professional services firms - with experience across $1B+ in M&A activity and 17 acquisitions. In this conversation, we cover: The #1 reason service businesses stall after 30–50 employees The "Founder's Dilemma": Do you want to be a king or be rich? What buyers look for when your business goes to market (and what scares them off) Why leadership depth + real sales/marketing systems drive valuation The hidden downside of exiting early: losing mission, environment, and relationships Links / Resources PSF Accelerator: https://psfaccelerator.com Sellside Group (Jeff Reynolds): https://www.sellsidegroup.com Jeff on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jeffreynolds3 Free Superhuman Guide: https://getsuperhuman.io/playbook

Sleep is the biggest performance multiplier most people ignore. In this episode of the Superhuman Podcast, Riley sits down with Dr. Daniel Gartenberg (Dr. Snooze) - founder of SleepSpace, sleep scientist, and author of 20+ peer-reviewed papers - to break down what sleep actually does for your brain and body, why deep sleep matters for memory and long-term brain health, and how technology like sound, light, temperature, and AI will personalize sleep improvement over the next decade. We cover: Why sleep impacts nearly every chronic disease (including brain health and Alzheimer's risk) Deep sleep vs REM: what's happening across 90-minute cycles Why wearables can be useful but imperfect for sleep staging The overlooked role of breathing and when to test for sleep apnea Tools for better sleep: CBT-I, sunlight timing, smart lighting, and sound-based deep sleep stimulation Lucid dreaming and "targeted memory reactivation" (and how to train for it) Links / Resources SleepSpace: https://sleepspace.com Free Superhuman Guide: https://getsuperhuman.io/playbook

Jared Jones is the Co-Founder of Middle Housing Partners and a veteran micro-developer who has spent over a decade working at the front lines of the housing crisis in California. Specializing in SB9, ADUs, and neighborhood-scale infill projects, Jared focuses on mission-driven development that restores affordability, strengthens communities, and brings people back to the neighborhoods they grew up in. He is also an EO (Entrepreneurs' Organization) leader and a respected voice in small-scale development, strategic planning, and innovative build-to-rent models. What We Discuss Why big developers won't fix the housing crisis: Jared explains why national homebuilders alone can't solve the problem and how small, local developers are the real lever for change. Micro-development as a scalable solution: How housing can realistically be rebuilt one lot, one project, one family at a time, and why that approach actually scales. Pushing through pain as a competitive advantage: Why the difficulty of permitting, regulation, and community resistance is a feature, not a flaw, and how persistence compounds over time. A real-world project restoring affordability: Jared walks through a Riverside, CA project that adds multiple units to an existing lot, cutting housing costs dramatically while preserving neighborhood character. The future of middle housing: What the next 5–10 years could look like if cities embrace density, pre-approved plans, and a mindset shift away from NIMBYism toward stronger communities.

Mike Salguero is the Founder & CEO of ButcherBox, the subscription-based meat company that grew from a Kickstarter into a bootstrapped nine-figure brand. In this episode, Mike breaks down what actually happens in the modern meat system (from pasture to feedlots), why antibiotics/hormones + confinement change everything, and how to choose higher-quality meat (even if you don't use a delivery service). What's We Discuss How ButcherBox started: Mike and his wife were doing elimination diets (Whole30/AIP) to manage autoimmune symptoms, and the hunt for truly grass-fed beef became the spark that led to ButcherBox. Grass-fed vs. conventional beef (the real pipeline): Most cattle start on pasture, but ~97% end up in feedlots for "finishing" on grain to maximize fat/marbling and speed of weight gain. Why antibiotics changed the entire meat industry: Antibiotics made animals more "feed efficient," which enabled tighter confinement (CAFOs), and ultimately shifted incentives toward cheap mass production. Nutrient density is the next frontier: Mike predicts the next 5–10 years will focus more on micronutrient density differences based on how the animal was raised, not just "protein and fat." What to look for when buying meat: Prioritize no antibiotics/hormones, pasture-raised, and (when possible) buying directly from a trusted farmer. For seafood: prioritize wild-caught. For pork: look for crate-free standards. Links & Resources ButcherBox: butcherbox.com ButcherBox coupon code: Mike on X (Twitter): @MikeSalguero Free Superhuman Guide: getsuperhuman.io/playbook

How to Achieve Superhuman Sleep (Sleep Nirvana): The Foundation of Peak Performance If you're waking up tired, relying on coffee to function, or feeling stuck at a constant 6 or 7 out of 10 — this episode shows you how to unlock what Riley calls Sleep Nirvana, the ultimate state of deep, restorative, superhuman sleep. Sleep is the foundation of everything: energy, clarity, mood, hormones, productivity, and long-term health. When your "battery" starts the day at zero, you burn through backup systems that were never meant to be used daily — leading to fatigue, brain fog, low performance, and chronic stress. In this episode, you'll learn: • What Sleep Nirvana actually is: fall asleep in 10–15 minutes, stay asleep 7–9 hours, and wake up with all-day energy • Why entrepreneurs and high performers often feel depleted (and how to fix it) • The most common sleep problems and what they reveal about your biology • How stimulants like caffeine and energy drinks mask deeper issues • The exact "bare-bones basics" Riley uses with clients to dramatically improve sleep • Why blue light destroys melatonin — and how to block it effectively • The importance of a pitch-black bedroom (and how to set it up properly) • The role of light exposure on your circadian rhythm — and why morning sunlight is non-negotiable • How to diagnose whether your sleep issues come from environment, habits, or deeper root-cause biological factors If you want to reach 9/10 or 10/10 energy levels — the kind of mental clarity that feels almost "Limitless" — sleep is the foundation everything else is built on. This is your introduction to the Superhuman Sleep system. Mindset, hormones, genetics, and performance nutrition come next — but it all starts here.

The Superhuman Diet: How Food Is Secretly Controlling Your Energy, Focus & Performance Most people think diet is about weight loss — but in reality, the foods you eat directly determine your brain fog, focus, memory, mood, productivity, sleep, and even your income-earning capacity. In this episode, Riley breaks down why your gut is the command center for your entire life — and how certain everyday foods may be inflaming your body, slowing your brain, and capping your performance without you realizing it. You'll discover: • Why gut inflammation instantly translates into brain inflammation • How food sensitivities can mimic anxiety, low mood, fatigue, and slow recovery • The surprising foods that often trigger issues: eggs, gluten, dairy, grains, nightshades, certain nuts, and more • The exact 4–6 week elimination diet Riley uses with clients to reach peak performance • What a "Superhuman Meal Template" looks like: 1 protein, 1 carb, 1 fat, 1 seasoning • The best and worst fats for brain health (and why most cooking oils are a disaster) • How to source high-quality foods without overspending • The connection between diet, immune function, inflammation, and mental clarity • How removing just one problem food can dramatically transform your mood, cognition, and daily energy Whether you're currently operating at a 6 or 7 out of 10 — or you want to push into true Superhuman levels — this episode shows you how to remove the "drag" in your system that's slowing down your brain and body.

Unlocking the Right Lab Tests to Become Superhuman | The Exact Sequence You Should Follow Most people know they should run lab tests… but almost no one knows which tests actually matter or what order to do them in. In this episode, Riley from Superhuman breaks down the exact sequence of lab testing he uses with clients to uncover hidden root-cause issues — long before symptoms or disease ever show up. You'll learn: • Why conventional bloodwork often misses the deeper functional problems • The essential blood markers everyone should start with (vitamin D3, thyroid panel, inflammation, testosterone, zinc, albumin, and more) • The optimal vitamin D3 range for peak mood, focus, bone health, and energy • When to move beyond basic labs into functional medicine testing • How advanced tests can uncover parasites, mold, heavy metals, LPS, leaky gut, hormone imbalances, neurotransmitter issues, and metabolic blockers • Why "guessing" slows progress — and why real data accelerates becoming Superhuman • How at-home lab kits work and how long results take • How wearables like Oura, Whoop, or Apple Watch help you interpret trends in sleep, HRV, stress, recovery, metabolism, and performance If you've ever felt like you're doing everything right but still operating at a 6 or 7 out of 10, this episode will show you how to finally see what's happening under the hood of your biology — and unlock the roadmap to a true 10 out of 10.

Podcast Description – The Superhuman Mindset Recorded on Thompson Road, Maui In today's episode, Riley takes you on a walk through Thompson Road in Maui—one of the most inspiring places on earth—to break down the real foundation of the Superhuman Mindset. Most people try to "think their way" into a better life… But true transformation doesn't start with motivation or affirmations. It starts under the hood—with your biology, your unconscious mind, and the hidden "mind viruses" holding you back. Inside this episode, you'll learn: What the Superhuman Mindset Actually Is Why sovereignty over your health, physiology, and thoughts creates a level of autonomy that becomes magnetic to others. Biology → Mindset: Why It Starts in the Body How optimizing hormones, neurotransmitters, brain waves, sleep, and inflammation eliminates brain fog and creates a powerful default state—without caffeine or stimulants. The 95% You Don't See: The Unconscious Mind Why your unconscious mind runs most of your behaviors, thoughts, cravings, reactions, and self-sabotage… and how unresolved childhood imprints get stuck in your "mental RAM." The New Era of Mindset Work (Bottom-Up, Not Top-Down) Why traditional talk therapy only scratches the surface—while modalities like EMDR, EFT, neuroacoustic sound, and trauma-release tech actually remove the root cause. The Mind Garden: Removing Weeds Before Planting Seeds How to clear hidden emotional blocks, trauma imprints, "issues in the tissues," and mind parasites so your conscious mindset work finally sticks. The 3 Stages to Becoming Superhuman Relief Care: Feel noticeably better now Acute Protocol: Release unconscious blocks + rebuild resilience Automation Mode: Sustain peak performance effortlessly What Happens After You Clear the Root Causes • Your mental bandwidth skyrockets • You think clearly without effort • You become magnetically confident • Work output doubles with half the time • Life gets lighter, easier, and more aligned This is the beginning of an upward spiral where biology, mindset, and consciousness merge into one self-sustaining Superhuman operating system.

Superhuman Supplementation: How to Use Supplements Without Wasting Your Money Most people are collecting a "supplement graveyard" and still not feeling better. In this episode, Riley (shooting from Maui) breaks down the real Superhuman approach to supplementation—so you stop guessing, stop burning cash on hype, and start using the right supplements in the right order to actually change how you feel and perform. You'll learn: Why supplements should never replace sleep, nutrition, and lifestyle The difference between relief care (short-term support) and root-cause care Why you might feel nothing from supplements (and what that really means) How brain fog, low focus, low energy, and anxiety often trace back to deeper issues The three stages of the Superhuman supplementation model: Relief care Acute protocol Automation / maintenance mode Riley also shares some of his go-to "foundational" supplements and how to think about them: Vitamin D3: why most people are deficient and the levels you actually want to see on labs Magnesium (Glycinate, Malate, and Threonate): for relaxation, energy, brain, recovery, and stress Methylated B-complex: for energy, methylation, and nervous system support High-quality fish oil (EPA vs DHA): when to prioritize brain vs systemic inflammation Glycine and collagen: anti-aging, joint support, sleep, and overall recovery You'll also hear: Why generic advice and random stacks usually fail How lab testing can reveal your specific deficiencies, inflammation, gut issues, toxins, and more How to move from "machine-gun" supplementation to a precise, sniper-like protocol What it means to move your "health bank account" from constant deficit to a true surplus This episode is part one, focused on the philosophy and framework of Superhuman supplementation. Part two dives into the specific beginner, intermediate, and advanced stacks.

Superhuman Tech: The Truth About Gadgets, Biohacking Devices & What Really Creates Results Most high performers jump straight to the sexy tech—cold plunges, PEMF mats, red light panels, oxygen therapy, wearables… and while they can help, they often miss the most important piece: If your internal systems are broken, no gadget can save you. In today's episode, Riley from Superhuman breaks down the real hierarchy of performance: Why tech and wearables are powerful only when paired with foundational health The biggest mistake high-level entrepreneurs and athletes make with biohacking devices The exact order you should follow: root cause → supplements → advanced tech Why you may have tried gadgets (PEMF, red light, cold plunge) and felt nothing How fixing your gut, brain, hormones, thyroid, and genetics unlocks exponential results The top devices Riley personally uses—and which ones are actually worth your money Inside the episode, we cover: Wearables Oura Ring vs Whoop — how to use HRV, resting HR, sleep stages, temperature, and daily trends to identify hidden stressors sabotaging your performance. Nervous System Tech Sensate – chest-based acoustic resonance that builds vagal tone Pulsetto – direct vagus nerve stimulation for instant calm, recovery, and clarity Why both work… and when they don't. Brain Optimization Apps How Brain.fm can 2–3x your focus, recovery, or relaxation using targeted sound frequencies. Higher-End Biohacking Tools Red light therapy, PEMF, float tanks, oxygen therapy, hyperbaric therapy, and more. When to use them, when to avoid them, and how they fit into the Superhuman performance pyramid. The Big Takeaway Tech is incredible—but only when your biology is aligned. Fix the root. Then accelerate with gadgets. That's how you get faster results, deeper recovery, higher performance, and exponential gains.
