 Hey, everyone.
0
SPEAKER_05
Welcome back to On Purpose, the number one health podcast in the world, thanks to each and every single one of you that turn up every week to listen, learn, and grow.
0
SPEAKER_05
Now, you know that I love introducing you to incredible guests, and today's guest doesn't really need an introduction.
0
SPEAKER_05
I'm sure you're already a fan.
0
SPEAKER_05
This is someone that I've been wanting to interview
0
SPEAKER_05
 for a very long time.
0
SPEAKER_05
We were trying to make sure we do it in person, but hey, this situation and scenario has made us connect right now.
0
SPEAKER_05
And I'm so excited to introduce you to the one and only Wim Hof, aka The Iceman.
0
SPEAKER_05
He's the creator of the Wim Hof Method, a method consisting of cold exposure, breathing techniques, and mindset commitment.
0
SPEAKER_05
 For the first time in history, scientific research has shown that people who practice the Wim Hof Method can influence their autonomic nervous system and immune system.
0
SPEAKER_05
This was thought of as impossible.
0
SPEAKER_05
This is huge.
0
SPEAKER_05
Since this study, the more research has been done on the Wim Hof Method showing what human beings are capable of.
0
SPEAKER_05
 Wim has been an extreme athlete with 21 official world records, climbing the Mount Everest in shorts, sitting in a bucket with ice for almost two hours, running a half marathon above the Arctic Circle on his bare feet and many more amazing feats.
0
SPEAKER_05
He is convinced
0
SPEAKER_05
 listen to this, that everyone can tap into this potential without having to invest the decade's worth of study, travel, and daring as he has.
0
SPEAKER_05
And so he developed the Wim Hof Method, a natural path to an optimal state of body and mind.
0
SPEAKER_05
Wim teaches his method in seminars all over the world, but today we're going to talk about how you can find it all in this book, The Wim Hof Method.
0
SPEAKER_05
Wim, thank you so much for coming on On Purpose.
0
SPEAKER_05
 Thanks, Jay.
0
SPEAKER_05
That was a ray of light.
0
SPEAKER_05
Well, it's all good.
0
SPEAKER_05
It's incredible to see what you've done and see what you've achieved.
0
SPEAKER_05
And I'm so grateful that people like you exist in the world today because I love this juxtaposition of wisdom and science.
0
SPEAKER_05
 And I love this bringing together of these two worlds that people often think don't go together.
0
SPEAKER_05
When we talk about breathwork or meditation or visualization, people often say, oh, that's that soft stuff, you know.
0
SPEAKER_05
You know, it's airy, fairy stuff.
0
SPEAKER_05
And then you see someone like you.
0
SPEAKER_05
 And all of a sudden, I was like, okay, well, Wim is not airy-fairy.
0
SPEAKER_05
Wim is, like, a tough guy, you know?
0
SPEAKER_05
He's done a lot of tough things.
0
SPEAKER_05
And then you've got the science.
0
SPEAKER_05
I think it's incredible what you're doing, Wim, and thank you so much for doing it.
0
SPEAKER_04
 Great, yes.
0
SPEAKER_04
Let's enlighten you from your angle as being the greatest podcast on medical science, health in the world.
0
SPEAKER_04
That is my aim.
0
SPEAKER_04
 That's my aim.
0
SPEAKER_04
It is so much my aim.
0
SPEAKER_04
I have to tell a little story.
0
SPEAKER_04
In the old Upanishads in India, there was a contest between three archers.
0
SPEAKER_04
They came together and they had to aim and see who was the best.
0
SPEAKER_04
 So the first one aimed and he shot into the middle of a target, a fish it was, inside a tree laid there about 150 meters away.
0
SPEAKER_04
That is like 160 yards away.
0
SPEAKER_04
Aiming with an arch and a bow and arrow and boom.
0
SPEAKER_04
 in the middle and then another came and the second one came and he aimed and he got it in the head and then the last one came he aimed and he shot and then they first did not see where the arrow was gone because it was exactly gone in the blackness of the pupil of the eye
0
SPEAKER_04
 And it had become one with it, something like that.
0
SPEAKER_04
And everybody knew at that contest who was the best.
0
SPEAKER_04
It was a man called Arjuna.
0
SPEAKER_04
And then they asked him, how did you do this, Arjuna?
0
SPEAKER_04
 Tell us, explain us, show some light on this.
0
SPEAKER_04
And then he said, yes, first I saw the wood.
0
SPEAKER_04
Then I saw something, something shiny in a tree.
0
SPEAKER_04
And then I saw this shiny thing become bigger.
0
SPEAKER_04
I saw a eye.
0
SPEAKER_04
And the eye, it became so big, I could not miss.
0
SPEAKER_04
That is our mind.
0
SPEAKER_04
 capable of, if we only live to our true purpose, then we cannot miss.
0
SPEAKER_04
If we use 100% our mind, which by the way, we don't own our own mind.
0
SPEAKER_04
 We are schooled in something that is providing production for a system that is sodomizing the planet, that is not into the immune system, the health, nor into the happiness, nor in the strength of people, but into the brutal national product, the economy and money.
0
SPEAKER_04
And the creativity, therefore, is gone.
0
SPEAKER_04
The originality, the identity of a person is gone.
0
SPEAKER_04
 And logically, you become sick, you become depressed, you don't know what is your purpose, then you live outside of your true core, which contains happiness, strength, and health.
0
SPEAKER_04
It is, we are talking health, then I talk soul.
0
SPEAKER_04
And because soul was something, oh, where is it, where is it?
0
SPEAKER_04
Now we got the measurement devices to go into the DNA.
0
SPEAKER_04
 And into the DNA, we are able to get and to show that we are able, I'm doing this study right now with San Francisco top researchers on the DNA, showing that we are able to get into the genome expressions, into the telomeres, the length of the time span of life, and how to influence that.
0
SPEAKER_04
And with that, into the genetical past.
0
SPEAKER_04
 of our ancestors.
0
SPEAKER_04
Our ancestors have given us encrypted codes in the genetics
0
SPEAKER_04
 And we were thinking within science, we cannot influence into that.
0
SPEAKER_04
And I say, yes, we are built to free, to solve the problems of the past, of the ancestors.
0
SPEAKER_04
And with that comes enlightenment.
0
SPEAKER_04
And now it's no longer something abstract.
0
SPEAKER_04
 What is abstract is killing the planet, is shooting people to the moon, is shooting people to Mars, to Venus.
0
SPEAKER_04
I don't know what they do, but that is abstract.
0
SPEAKER_04
It hasn't got anything to do with the guarantee to become happy, strong, and healthy, which I want to give to my children, to my friends, to everybody around me, with all the respect for the inner nature, outer nature coming together.
0
SPEAKER_04
 There is the soul, there is the purpose, there is the health.
0
SPEAKER_04
And now we have the measurement devices.
0
SPEAKER_04
But before, when I was young, I thought, hey man, I'm not going to take this.
0
SPEAKER_04
I don't think war is normal.
0
SPEAKER_04
 Disease is normal.
0
SPEAKER_04
Abuse is normal.
0
SPEAKER_04
Stress is normal.
0
SPEAKER_04
I don't think that is normal.
0
SPEAKER_04
I think happiness, strength and health, that is normal.
0
SPEAKER_04
And to respect wildlife and people in poor countries and help, love, that is my aim.
0
SPEAKER_04
 but how to get around it, how to make it tangible and strong, I did not know, but I followed my gut.
0
SPEAKER_04
I followed my intuition.
0
SPEAKER_04
And those now show to be internal neurological networks called proprioception, interoception, and they were thought of
0
SPEAKER_04
 not to be able to be top-down regulated, like mind over matter was not possible.
0
SPEAKER_04
I showed how to do it.
0
SPEAKER_04
Where did I get the wisdom of?
0
SPEAKER_04
Not out of the books, out of nature.
0
SPEAKER_04
Mother Nature provided me
0
SPEAKER_04
 And now I'm showing all in scientific comparative studies that we are built, innately capacitated to provide health, happiness and strength through a control, absolute, great control over our immune system.
0
SPEAKER_04
 As you said in the beginning, the innate immune system, the damaging factor right now with COVID is the innate immune system, the overactive immune system, the cytokine storm.
0
SPEAKER_04
And we were to believe that it is not able to be suppressed by humans.
0
SPEAKER_04
 And we showed this very clearly in 2014.
0
SPEAKER_04
We can surpass it within a quarter of an hour.
0
SPEAKER_04
Through what?
0
SPEAKER_04
Through the life force itself.
0
SPEAKER_04
What are you talking about life force?
0
SPEAKER_04
Breathing.
0
SPEAKER_04
 just breathing, deep breathing, manipulating it, like consciously stopping the breath after releasing carbon dioxide, we become alkaline inside, then the carbon dioxide trigger is no longer there for breathing, and you are just sitting.
0
SPEAKER_04
And while you sit for one minute, two minutes, three minutes, without air in the lungs,
0
SPEAKER_04
 This is known in the old yogas, the kumbhakas, it's called.
0
SPEAKER_04
But I did not know.
0
SPEAKER_04
It was too abstract.
0
SPEAKER_04
Where was it?
0
SPEAKER_04
I went into the cold water, and what happened?
0
SPEAKER_04
I began to breathe deep.
0
SPEAKER_04
 That is the natural way.
0
SPEAKER_04
And we got alienated from the life force, from bringing oxygen and chemistry, the right chemistry, inside our bodies and inside the depth of our brain.
0
SPEAKER_04
We forgot about it.
0
SPEAKER_04
We alienated, disconnected.
0
SPEAKER_04
 Yoga is about connecting.
0
SPEAKER_04
Yoga, yuj, is a Sanskrit verb for connecting.
0
SPEAKER_04
But then I was reading all the Upanishads, the Mahabharata, the Ki, the Chi, the Greek pneuma, the Christian mysticism and all, and it didn't make sense until I went into the cold water.
0
SPEAKER_04
It's when I woke up to a feeling of this is it.
0
SPEAKER_04
 a feeling and that feeling
0
SPEAKER_04
 is inside, that feeling, now I know how to connect and show to others in one day how to connect to internal neurological networks we have never been schooled in to learn to use.
0
SPEAKER_04
And when we then get depressed, or we get a sack, or we have no money, or we have problems, we got stressed, we cannot tap into these internal mechanisms.
0
SPEAKER_04
 who are very able to deal with any kind of stress.
0
SPEAKER_04
That means mental, physical, emotional, bacterial, viral, doesn't matter.
0
SPEAKER_04
In the end, it is cell biological stress.
0
SPEAKER_04
And we have internal networks, neurological networks, making us able to deal with it, but we have never been schooled therein.
0
SPEAKER_04
And there we come in to show through meditation,
0
SPEAKER_04
 to show through breathing how to tap into these internal neurological networks.
0
SPEAKER_04
That is where I'm at.
0
SPEAKER_04
That's where we come together.
0
SPEAKER_04
This is a sort of introduction, but I dive deep because you know how to go deep yourself.
0
SPEAKER_04
 So we meet somewhere down there and begin to solve the paradigm.
0
SPEAKER_04
Because in the end now, people when they take this on, they see and feel stress going away.
0
SPEAKER_04
 But then, then you get the mindset.
0
SPEAKER_04
And the mindset is not about how to perform even better and all that.
0
SPEAKER_04
No, it's about realigning oneself to the soul.
0
SPEAKER_04
Realigning oneself to the 100% capacity of our mind.
0
SPEAKER_04
The seed of the brain is then well served and the soul is able to emanate.
0
SPEAKER_04
 Very simple and very dare.
0
SPEAKER_09
 When you find that bright spot to help you get through your day, it's powerful.
0
SPEAKER_07
That's where The Bright Side comes in.

0
SPEAKER_10
Cowie, what do you say?
0
SPEAKER_11
It was!
0
SPEAKER_11
And that time when we did the science experiment and Billy made raisins dance!
0
SPEAKER_11
That is so cool, Billy!
0
SPEAKER_10
He did!
0
SPEAKER_10
Not to mention when a certain Elliot took up swimming classes with Lisa.

SPEAKER_03
 Guess what, Bango?
0
SPEAKER_03
What's up, Will?
0
SPEAKER_03
So iHeart is giving us a whole minute to promote our podcast, Part-Time Genius.
0
SPEAKER_02
 I know, that's why I spent my whole week composing a haiku for the occasion.
0
SPEAKER_02
It's about my emotional journey in podcasting over the last seven years, and it's called Earthquake House.
0
SPEAKER_03
Mango, I'm going to cut you off right there.
0
SPEAKER_02
Why don't we just tell people about our show instead?
0
SPEAKER_02
Yeah, that's a better idea.
0
SPEAKER_02
So every week on Part-Time Genius, we feed our curiosity by answering the world's most important questions.
0
SPEAKER_02
Things like, when did America start dialing 911?
0
SPEAKER_02
Is William Shatner's best acting work in Esperanto?
0
SPEAKER_02
Also, what happened to Esperanto?
0
SPEAKER_03
 Plus, we cover questions like how Chinese is your Chinese food?
0
SPEAKER_03
How do dollar stores stay in business?
0
SPEAKER_03
And of course, is there an Illuminati of cheese?
0
SPEAKER_02
There absolutely is.
0
SPEAKER_02
And we are risking our lives by talking about it.
0
SPEAKER_02
But if you love mind-blowing facts, incredible history and really bad jokes, make your brains happy and tune in to Part-Time Genius.
0
SPEAKER_03
Listen to Part-Time Genius on the iHeartRadio app or wherever you get your podcasts.
0
SPEAKER_05
 I'm so glad that you are sharing so many amazing stories from the Mahabharata and the Upanishads.
0
SPEAKER_05
It's books that I've studied and taught for many, many years.
0
SPEAKER_05
And hearing you speak about them in such a relevant way is beautiful.
0
SPEAKER_05
And one of the things you mentioned there, Wim, that I think really stands tall and true above everything else is this understanding around the power of the life force and the breath.
0
SPEAKER_05
 and the ability to realign and connect.
0
SPEAKER_05
And for so many of us, and I felt this way, breathing was something that we never thought we had to learn how to do.
0
SPEAKER_05
We just do it, we do it badly, we don't know if we do it well.
0
SPEAKER_05
What are some of the biggest mistakes that we're making in our breathing every day for years that we're not even aware of?
0
SPEAKER_05
And what should optimal breathing on a daily basis look like?
0
SPEAKER_04
 If we simplified these breathing techniques, I did, you know, numerous world records and numerous even more challenges.
0
SPEAKER_04
I've got the weirdest book about this.
0
SPEAKER_04
Yes, I always use the same thing.
0
SPEAKER_04
That is the deep breath.
0
SPEAKER_04
 Any deep breathing techniques that are able to deal with the stress in your individual, original, your typical specific life is the right one.
0
SPEAKER_04
Right.
0
SPEAKER_04
So pranayama is the control over the life force.
0
SPEAKER_04
And that's pranayama.
0
SPEAKER_04
But I could not understand
0
SPEAKER_04
 that before when I was young, I went into the cold and the cold doesn't show through words, it shows through a power, through aggressive impact, through thousand needles, how to be not a pincushion, but to be in control, to be in control over the depth and to change the chemistry, to change the chemistry with that connect,
0
SPEAKER_04
 With that being able consciously to connect after changing the chemistry, we are able to get in with our will, the neurotransmitters of our will, in connection with the neurological pathways nature has set within us.
0
SPEAKER_04
We got five external and three internal.
0
SPEAKER_04
 So anything that is able to create the right chemistry for you at will to be able to connect with all these neurological pathways and to learn to influence and to control them, that is the right breathing technique.
0
SPEAKER_04
Now, I saw a lot of breathing techniques, but they were not effective.
0
SPEAKER_04
 And then going into the cold water, I stopped thinking about it and adopting through books what it is I was doing it.
0
SPEAKER_04
 And then the right breathing technique came.
0
SPEAKER_04
Because the cold, as I always say, is merciless, but righteous.
0
SPEAKER_04
It is a teacher.
0
SPEAKER_04
And the teacher loves you, so he doesn't mess around with you.
0
SPEAKER_04
He brings the love.
0
SPEAKER_04
And the love is not sentimental.
0
SPEAKER_04
It's powerful.
0
SPEAKER_04
And it's every day so much energy.
0
SPEAKER_04
And a disease suddenly is gone.
0
SPEAKER_04
 and your mood you are able to regulate and you are happy all the time what is this this is what the teacher gives you because he loves you and he comes to you and that can be painful in the beginning but it's nothing but an awakening
0
SPEAKER_04
 And I took this for 25 years on my own, because everybody was saying I was crazy.
0
SPEAKER_04
And I still have to say, I think they are right.
0
SPEAKER_04
I am bloody crazy.
0
SPEAKER_04
I'm crazy about life.
0
SPEAKER_04
I'm crazy about life and I want and I am.
0
SPEAKER_04
 changing fundamentally science, medical science as it is.
0
SPEAKER_04
Because you know, as me, that the autonomic nervous system was considered, after hundreds of years, stated scientific language and facts and building up of what our physiology was capable of and not.
0
SPEAKER_04
 that at will we were not able to tap into the autonomic nervous system, we were not able to get into the immune system, and we were not able to get into the endocrine system.
0
SPEAKER_04
And now it has been shown in 2014, we are able to do it.
0
SPEAKER_04
 We showed that in a competitive study.
0
SPEAKER_04
And you don't need to go like the yogis for 20 years or 30 years into seclusion and then find all kinds of cities and supernatural powers.
0
SPEAKER_04
You are more than normal.
0
SPEAKER_04
Anybody, everybody is born to be more than normal, is born to be super, superb, to be great.
0
SPEAKER_04
 Their mind is great.
0
SPEAKER_04
They talk about the mind and that it is unlimited in its power.
0
SPEAKER_04
But who is doing it now?
0
SPEAKER_04
Because the paradigm now is about producing in the world, production.
0
SPEAKER_04
 and more and more and more.
0
SPEAKER_04
It is not about love.
0
SPEAKER_04
It is not about caring.
0
SPEAKER_04
There is a sort of a moral standard and ethical standard, but it is too much polluting, too much production, too much exploiting going on.
0
SPEAKER_04
 This doesn't serve humanity as it is now.
0
SPEAKER_04
And we have come to the moment now where we have to change.
0
SPEAKER_04
We have to show the people the purpose of everybody's life.
0
SPEAKER_04
But are we capable of entering into that new paradigm?
0
SPEAKER_04
Because that's the question.
0
SPEAKER_04
And I say yes.
0
SPEAKER_04
 For that, I built up through science, because nobody's going to believe a crazy man like me going into a freaking cold water.
0
SPEAKER_04
And man, I'm not going to do that.
0
SPEAKER_04
He's crazy.
0
SPEAKER_04
And he's breathing so strange.
0
SPEAKER_04
Hey, man, that is not good.
0
SPEAKER_04
Don't believe what he says.
0
SPEAKER_04
So I go through science.
0
SPEAKER_04
I went to television first, did all kinds of records, got the attention of the world.
0
SPEAKER_04
 Then I said, hey, scientists, come in, test on me, and I will prove wrong what you have been writing up till now of what we are capable of.
0
SPEAKER_04
You say depression cannot be solved, but by pills and medicaments and all kinds of chronic diseases, that cannot be solved.
0
SPEAKER_04
I will show you that we are able to beat inflammation
0
SPEAKER_04
 and to regulate our mood, which makes depression, bipolar, psychosis, all these things go away, like bad spirits.
0
SPEAKER_04
We are able to control that.
0
SPEAKER_04
And how?
0
SPEAKER_04
This is what I showed in 2014 on inflammation.
0
SPEAKER_04
Within a quarter of an hour, the inflammation went down after instruction in four days of people.
0
SPEAKER_04
 not 20 years, four days.
0
SPEAKER_04
Now I can do it in one day.
0
SPEAKER_04
I bring people to the ability to suppress the inflammation caused by an injection of E. coli.
0
SPEAKER_04
Now, inflammation is also the damaging factor of COVID.
0
SPEAKER_04
We can beat the damaging factor of COVID-19.
0
SPEAKER_04
 But they are not getting to this study which showed how to prevent, how to beat COVID-19, for example, in the beginning, inflammation.
0
SPEAKER_04
I've been looking it up.
0
SPEAKER_04
Those are interleukins.
0
SPEAKER_04
And the interleukin number one, number six, number eight, and number 11 are responsible for the damage in the lungs, creating a sort of oedemia.
0
SPEAKER_04
 because of the wrong lung function, and it acts and it overreacts, and you get this reaction, and suddenly it's stuffed inside, you cannot breathe anymore.

But in the beginning, you can beat the inflammation.
0
SPEAKER_04
And that's why podcasts like this, this is a great channel to get to common sense of people, because we are built with the doctor within us.
0
SPEAKER_04
We have healing power, all of us.
0
SPEAKER_04
 We are born with it.
0
SPEAKER_04
We are never schooled with it.
0
SPEAKER_04
We have learned to follow a paradigm of dependency on doctors, on professors, on science, on pills and medicaments and hospitals, but not the real investigative spirit.
0
SPEAKER_04
 The real investigative spirit is about what is the soul, how to be healthy, happy, strong, how to equally divide the power among people.
0
SPEAKER_04
Because a happy person is not making war, is not going and grieving for money and power.
0
SPEAKER_04
A happy person is unconditionally there.
0
SPEAKER_04
But that paradigm doesn't exist right now.
0
SPEAKER_04
 And for that, I go through science again, because I begin to become too philosophical again.
0
SPEAKER_04
This is where people don't
2
SPEAKER_04
 It's at your feet.
2
SPEAKER_04
You want to be strong?
2
SPEAKER_04
It's at your feet.
2
SPEAKER_04
I feel an immediate difference, personally.
2
SPEAKER_04
Immediate difference.
2
SPEAKER_04
I mean, Wim, that was amazing.
2
SPEAKER_04
Thank you so much.
2
SPEAKER_04
And I completely agree with you that the truth is simple, right?
2
SPEAKER_04
The truth is simple, that enlightenment is simple, that
2
SPEAKER_04
 Health is simple when we choose to not try and be intellectual or try and be complex.
2
SPEAKER_04
Wisdom is simple and that's why no matter what language you speak or where you're from or whether you have a PhD or you don't, the truth is relevant and accessible to each and every person.
2
SPEAKER_04
 And the truth of breath was given to each and every one of us from the beginning of our lives.
2
SPEAKER_04
So it is something that is very much ours.
2
SPEAKER_04
It is our gift.
2
SPEAKER_04
And learning to breathe in this way.
2
SPEAKER_04
The fact that Wim has said this, I recommend to everyone who's listening today, please, just for the next seven days, let's practice what Wim has shared with us.
2
SPEAKER_04
Just every day, let's practice it every day.
2
SPEAKER_04
And just allow yourself to see if you feel a difference.
2
SPEAKER_04
 And I promise you, you will.
2
SPEAKER_04
I promise you, you will.
2
SPEAKER_04
It's guaranteed, not only scientifically, but philosophically and spiritually.
2
SPEAKER_04
It's guaranteed to feel a difference.
2
SPEAKER_04
When you change something, you will feel a difference.
2
SPEAKER_04
And right now, we know that we're not waking up in the best state.
2
SPEAKER_04
We know that we're not feeling our best in the morning.
2
SPEAKER_04
So why not try something that is new, that has been scientifically tested, and that has been practiced in extreme situations as well?
2
SPEAKER_04
 So Wim, I just want to say thank you so much today for the last 60 minutes, which flew by.
2
SPEAKER_04
You've shown us again, even in your speaking and your energy, how time can be shrunk.
2
SPEAKER_04
Now I'm thinking, when you're going through all of that in your mind and you're climbing Everest, you're shrinking time.
2
SPEAKER_04
I want to recommend to everyone, please go out and get The Wim Hof Method, the book,
2
SPEAKER_04
 which will be released in the UK on 24th September 2020, and the US on the 20th of October, the Wim Hof Method.
2
SPEAKER_04
Go and get it.
2
SPEAKER_04
There's a great picture of Wim on the front.
2
SPEAKER_04
It looks like he's just come out of The Revenant or something like that.
2
SPEAKER_04
It looks like a shot from a movie.
2
SPEAKER_04
But please go and get it because it's going to give you the practices to retain your breath.
2
SPEAKER_04
 You know that I speak about it a lot, that for so many of us, we have this breath.
2
SPEAKER_04
We've never been taught how to use it.
2
SPEAKER_04
There is so much more that begins with our breath.
2
SPEAKER_04
And I can't recommend Wim, his teachings, and his books more than ever.
2
SPEAKER_04
I've had some friends who've had incredible experiences with Wim.
2
SPEAKER_04
We've had some of them on the podcast, Yes Theory, and many others who've absolutely loved spending time with Wim.
2
SPEAKER_04
 So please, please go and grab the book.
2
SPEAKER_04
And Wim, we end every interview with a final five.
2
SPEAKER_04
So this is rapid fire, fast five.
2
SPEAKER_04
So I ask you a question and you have to answer in one word or one sentence maximum.
2
SPEAKER_04
It's either your fast five, Wim.
2
SPEAKER_04
The first one is, what's the biggest compliment you've ever received?
2
SPEAKER_04
 I love you, of my wife.
2
SPEAKER_04
Beautiful.
2
SPEAKER_04
Great.
2
SPEAKER_04
Second question.
2
SPEAKER_04
What do you know to be absolutely true, but people disagree with you on?
2
SPEAKER_04
What are you so sure about, but people disagree with you on?
2
SPEAKER_04
That the soul is present right here, right now and accessible for everybody.
2
SPEAKER_04
 Amazing.
2
SPEAKER_04
I love that.
2
SPEAKER_04
And next time we do a podcast, we have to talk about that.
2
SPEAKER_04
That's what I want to do next time.
2
SPEAKER_04
This time I want people to get to know your method.
2
SPEAKER_04
Okay, third question.
2
SPEAKER_04
If you could create a law that everyone in the world had to follow, what would it be?
2
SPEAKER_03
The law is to be obligated to be happy, strong, and healthy.
2
SPEAKER_03
Everybody.
2
SPEAKER_03
Number four, what's your next challenge that you're trying to overcome?
2
SPEAKER_03
 to scientifically show that the soul is no longer something abstract that is pure, pure science.
2
SPEAKER_04
 Amazing.
2
SPEAKER_04
I can't wait for you to do that, Wim.
2
SPEAKER_04
I am going to be, you know, I think, I mean, already just sharing energy with you today, I'm feeling like we have a lot of work to do together.
2
SPEAKER_04
Yes.
2
SPEAKER_04
And I'm really excited about that.
2
SPEAKER_04
I'm really looking forward to when we can bring people on retreats together and take them through experiences, especially with your connection to Patanjali and the Vedas and
2
SPEAKER_04
 You know, I just feel a lot of synergy with you.
2
SPEAKER_04
Okay, fifth and final question.
2
SPEAKER_04
What is the biggest lesson you've learned in the last 12 months?
2
SPEAKER_03
That we are unstoppable.
2
SPEAKER_03
 Amazing.
2
SPEAKER_04
I absolutely love that.
2
SPEAKER_04
Everyone, Wim Hof, please go and follow him on Instagram, Iceman underscore Hof.
2
SPEAKER_04
Go and get The Wim Hof Method, the book releasing in the US on 20th October and the UK on 24th September.
2
SPEAKER_04
Wim, I am so excited to collaborate more with you, to connect more with you, and I am so excited for the day that you scientifically prove
2
SPEAKER_04
 the presence of the soul.
2
SPEAKER_04
It will be an amazing day for humanity.
2
SPEAKER_04
It will be an amazing day for science.
2
SPEAKER_04
And more importantly, when we show them the pathway that people can actually connect with it as well.
2
SPEAKER_04
So I forward Wim to many more beautiful conversations, but also connections, collaborations, and sharing with each other, because I think I can learn a lot more from you.
2
SPEAKER_04
And I'm genuinely not excited.
2
SPEAKER_04
It's an understatement.
2
SPEAKER_04
I'm so grateful for what you're doing in the world.
2
SPEAKER_04
 Genuinely, I'm overwhelmed with gratitude for what you're trying to do in the world.
2
SPEAKER_03
I can tell you, you are embodying a great natural power of love and conviction, determination.
2
SPEAKER_03
Like I said in the beginning, like Arjuna, we will and we cannot miss.
2
SPEAKER_03
If we collaborate, we will be able to achieve so much more.
2
SPEAKER_03
 And it brings so much more light, which is needed and which is going to be a pleasure of ours to provide.

2
SPEAKER_01
I've been trying to write a promo for our podcast, Part-Time Genius, but even though we've done over 250 episodes, we don't really talk about murders or cults.
2
SPEAKER_01
I mean, we did just cover the Illuminati of cheese, so I feel like that makes us pretty edgy.
2
SPEAKER_01
We also solve mysteries like how Chinese is your Chinese food and how do dollar stores make money?
2
SPEAKER_01
And then, of course, can you game a dog show?
2
SPEAKER_01
So what you're saying is everyone should be listening.
