Shownotes

Juan is one of my pals from Taiwan, and I knew of him before I met him because I had been using his website for months beforehand! He's the founder of taiwannutrition.com, and in more recent years, the founder of trueterral.com with his wife Sylvia. He’s been in Taiwan since his university days and speaks fluent Mandarin Chinese.

Like most of my pals, his work is certainly the least interesting part of him. How about his two year forbidden and secret relationship with his wife when they first met? Or the poster he saw when he was 8 that influenced his entire relationship schema for life? Or how he plans to give his daughter a cultural attachment to Panama and Spanish?

This is my favorite type of conversation because it is inspiring… in the sense that i am inspired to action in a few ways. Journaling, better gut health, new longevity thoughts… it’s like a mini Andrew Huberman episode here. And I guess that’s because above all things, Juan is a tinkerer, and never really settles. He is the growth mindset in hombre form.

In this episode, we talk about how to instill curiosity and increase input in a person, the defensive nature of Panamanian society, the upcoming role of pickleball in his marriage, and he puts me in my place about gut health and sleep habits.
