”You’re already making decisions based on your genes.”

In this episode of Delay the Decay, Daniel Guzman sits down for a thoughtful, wide-ranging conversation about what it truly means to live a prioritized life. Through honest reflection, Daniel explores how faith, family, health, and purpose must come before achievement and ambition—and why long-term vitality is built through daily disciplines rather than quick fixes. The discussion blends personal stories, spiritual insight, and practical wisdom for anyone trying to grow without burning out.

Listeners will hear a deeply human conversation about pursuing wisdom, navigating discomfort, and stewarding health with intention. From routines like “Bible before breakfast,” to raising children, to navigating leadership and personal growth, this episode invites you into a slower, more grounded approach to performance and longevity. The conversation also touches on how modern tools—like wearables, genetic testing, and recovery practices—can support health only when aligned with what truly matters most.
