I don't have any specific mental preparation techniques, but after exercise I take some time to relax and meditate, allowing my body to return to resting levels and appreciate the training day.
 
Transcript: "I don't have any specific mental preparation techniques. Usually, as I warm up prior to a training session, I'm thinking about what I have to do, what the train will include. But no, nothing specific, no mental preparation techniques. After exercise, during a cool down, I may take some extra time to sit and relax, and possibly meditate to get my body back to resting levels, and just appreciate the training day and the exercise, and allowing my body just to return to rest and recover, and appreciate the moment."

I don't vary my arm and leg swings too much, usually just sticking to the basics. If you find a variation that works better for you, give it a try!
 
Transcript: "The only thing that I might change up a little bit if I'm doing arm swings, sometimes I'll do a smaller rotation versus a larger rotation. Sometimes I'll have my palms facing up rather than facing down. Leg swings, I don't vary too, too much. I'll just forward, back, side to side leg swings. I don't, again, there's not a whole lot of variation that I'll do with those. And again with the arm swings, I don't mix those up too, too much. I keep them pretty simple. And again, those are warm-up drills I've been doing for a couple of years. And they're adequate for me. They've always been sufficient. If there is a variation that you find that you like, give it a try. See how well it works for you."

Any exercises that involve the back, such as squats, deadlifts, RDLs, good mornings, and overhead presses should be done with a stable back to avoid injury. Additionally, on a bench press, bouncing the weight off your chest and using an open grip can lead to serious consequences.
 
Transcript: "Pretty much any exercise that involves the back, because if the back is not in a solid, stable position, then that's the risk of injury. Exercises along the lines of squats, deadlifts, RDLs, good mornings, overhead presses, anything again that really involves the back. The other exercise, a bench press, individuals that bounce the weight off their chest, suggest they're not controlling the load, so they're going to run the risk of losing control of the weight. Also, while on the bench press is all using an open grip rather than a closed grip, they run the risk of the bar rolling out of their hands and it's going to land right on their chest and or neck. Very serious consequences with those. So again, any exercise where individuals, where it's the back that involves hip flexion and then the back doesn't maintain stability. That's where the biggest risk of injury is likely to occur."

The best approach to entrepreneurial success is to have a great team of people with a great idea. All successful efforts require collaboration and often involve making difficult decisions such as firing CEOs and changing business models. In the end, teams are more likely to accomplish great things than individuals.
 
Transcript: "There's not a controversy, but there are two schools of thought. One is, idea is what matters, the other is the people, that's what's most important. And I guess I would say that I'd really like great people with a great idea. Seems like combining the two is a better way to approach the world. The fact is, all successful entrepreneurial efforts are team efforts. They're messy. Often team members don't work out. At a company like PayPal, they went through four different business models. They fired CEOs, they did all sorts of things. And eventually, they get to the point where they have a high performance team. So the hiring part is working. The finance part is working. The product marketing part is working. Communications is working. And teams accomplish enormously important things, and individuals, not so much."

Uranium is mined from a few locations around the world, such as in provinces in Canada, and it is used in fusion power plants. Plutonium is not mined, but rather only made inside fission power plants from uranium.
 
Transcript: "Mmm, right so. So for Uranium, yes, so, uranium is mined as an or like any other Wars. And, in fact, they're found in concentrations that very around. There's a few locations. In fact, it might need of provinces in Saskatchewan in Canada and Northern Saskatchewan. There's a very large concentration of uranium and there are other places around the world that actually have these. So, These locations are important because the uranium is mined and then process to be able to use in fusion. Power plants, plutonium is not because plutonium does not occur. A naturally plutonium is only made inside a fission power plants. In fact, so yes, so you don't mind plutonium. You actually make it from the that actually occurs from the fission of uranium"

Neither a Tokamak nor a stellarator have yet produced enough energy to be used in a power supply. To achieve fusion, three types of break even need to be achieved: physics break even, engineering break even and economic break even. Recent progress in renewable energy sources has cast doubt on whether these approaches will ever be economically viable.
 
Transcript: "The question is what is superior for achieving Fusion a Tokamak or a stellarator. So infusion Light Elements typically hydrogen or its Isotopes are smashed together with very high energy and the nuclei fuse and can release a tremendous amount of energy. And for decades, people have thought this would be a great way to produce a source of energy, without any Green House, Green House gases, and with readily available. Fuels the challenge is how to contain the gases which have to be extremely high temperatures during a fusion process. And people have proposed that by using magnetic fields, you can try to build basically, a magnetic bottle, which can hold the gas is away from the walls of the reactor and a Tokamak and stellarator have slightly different geometries for these magnetic bottles in a Tokamak there in a donut. And in a stellarator, it's more like twisted. Donut and to date neither of these techniques has produced enough energy to be usable in a power supply. And so I want to talk a little bit about. What does it mean to achieve Fusion because there's actually three different definitions of success that people use? And it matters which one you're talking about. There's a physics definition which is have you gotten more energy out of the plasma, then you Into the plasma and that's a bare minimum. A more stringent definition is an engineering definition which is if you think about the entire plasma, the entire Fusion, plant can you get more energy out than you put in including all of the in efficiencies in the plant and so to achieve engineering Break, Even you need about tenfold higher output than for physics break even and then the third definition is economic Break. Even what can you actually make more money selling the electricity? Then you spend financing the construction of this plant and that is I think, in many cases, the highest bar and with recent progress in renewable, solar and wind. It's not even clear whether of these approaches will ever be economically viable."
