 So I'm standing here at New Plymouth Airport as I'm about to embark on another big journey all the way to Finland of all places. I think I've got something like 40 hours of flying including one 18 hour flight but it's not too bad. I managed to get a pretty sweet deal with our business class so it should be a bit more enjoyable. I'm actually going for an event called Slush and someone told me it's a combination of a blend of a Patitex conference and Burning Man. I don't quite understand how that happens given that it's in the middle of winter or snow and ice and all that stuff but it sounds fine and it is all about tech, start-ups, cryptocurrencies which is a bit of a side passion of mine. A little bit of health in there like gadgets, wearables, apps, software etc. Two days of jam-packed speaking talks, networking, venues, partying, lots of jazz and since I'm going to the depth of winter in Finland and I'm going to be on a plane in the air for two days straight I am currently getting as much sun as possible. Alright so I'm sitting here in Auckland Airport in the Contas Business Class lounge. Because as I said earlier I am a flight and staff at business class flight so it's going to be good fun especially given that this flight is 18 hours it's the world's longest flight. Pretty much where I'm going it's the complete opposite time of the day so like it's what two to three o'clock in the afternoon here in New Zealand time and it's two o'clock in the morning how sinky time so JLA is going to be an issue I've got the human charger here and I'll be using the app and following that recommendation taking all my hacks and bio hacks and supplements and blue blockers and all that to help with the jet lag as well I've done a lot of traveling before and some pretty used to the jet lag and how to handle it we've even got a few blogs on this so you can check that out on my site but you know I just had a boarding call so I'm going to wrap up and head off. I'm here in Doha just landed after 18 hours of flying world's longest flight done that's it good to be here now got a little bit of sleep in about five hours six hours sleep plus little nap so beautiful airport though like seriously if you ever get an opportunity to stop in the airport there's a layer of it do it and try and spend a few hours here. There's even like an Al Spa fitness center so I'll hit that up on the way back. It's really cold and that's snow slash ice slash slush and yeah 10 o'clock in the morning and I just had a big coffee thank you that much sleep on the plane but whatever coffee and stuff will help yeah it's actually really cold I think I'm gonna put some gloves on. I bought some gloves in Auckland. Check these out they're like a merino wool and possum wool. How cool are they? They've even got the ferns. 50% merino lambs wool 40% possum fern and 10% silk. How cool is that? So much better. And representing the ferns I should have done that ages ago. Now it's cool actually a lot of people on the business class flight I was in in the cabin they were gonna slush as well so there was a guy from Oman, Oman, Oman, Pakistan, Hong Kong, England yeah they were all going to slush. It's already started so I'm really pumped, really really pumped but I think I'm gonna go back inside because I'm also really really pumped. It's 30 in the afternoon here in Helsinki and I've just been doing a few hours of work catching up on work and check this out. Yes it's quite pretty but it's also very very dark some went down at I don't know three o'clock or something it was quite surprising I was sitting by the window watching it thinking really feels like it's about nine o'clock at night here and yeah so far so good the people are bumped into or very nice and caught up with a few people from LA and surprisingly feeling good despite it being four o'clock in the morning New Zealand time so I'm gonna push through so this evening see how I feel and hopefully I'll adapt to the local time I've been using the human charger following the app recommendations and doing all that sort of fun stuff I'm looking forward to seeing the city more over the next few days. So I just had dinner 7.30 here in Helsinki and there's a lot of side events for the two-day slash men so one of them is a cryptocurrency meet-up tonight cocktails all that fun stuff and given that Bitcoin hit all time high 11,000 dollars today like literally a few hours ago and that I've been in the crypto space for a few years now I thought you know what could be a good time to go out and meet some people and have a bit of fun like something out of a movie amazing all right well that was fun lots of lots of champagne floating around lots of nibbles food and lots of people it was packed in there was crazy but I am cooked I was sitting there at the table and I thought there was an earthquake and then it happened again I'm looking around I was like why's no one moving I realized it's me and I'm always so tight so I'm calling it pulling the night morning world so it is I don't even know what there's Thursday and so pretty good last night 7 hours work at 5 o'clock in the morning Alex my name is Alex I'll get to that so and yeah work at 5 o'clock in the morning wide awake I could have done with more sleep but you know what sitting ours isn't too bad for the first night it is very cold it's like three degrees right now and do one of the side events for the slush weekend was to jump in the sea yesterday I was tagged in a post by one of my members on the hormone reset program his name is Frankie put a really nice message up saying huh you know he's lost 27 pounds and completely changes life and you know feeling better than ever and helping all that sort of stuff but he was also up to the part of my protocol where I do recommend pushing the body and doing some things that are slightly uncomfortable right so I thought fine to be to become comfortable with being uncomfortable and there's a photo of him in the lake it looked pretty cold and I'm sure it was cold so and then I saw this event when I was waiting on the planet looking at the itinerary in the gender and I was like you know what it's crazy as that sound I kind of I should do that I should really do that it's not too bad because then over in the distance there we have some hot pools I love how we like didn't stay in there at long for all is to just become like a bunch of screaming people all right let's you're gonna hit me I kind of miss the middle the camera kind of turned off at a second I don't know how much how much you got there this is the post the post-mortem it's cold you know it's painful but honestly though right now I feel fine after jumping after that it was great my feet are cold that's about it but I was that was different to any water I've been in New Zealand I couldn't talk when I got in just like you know when you feel really cold water and it's painful you don't know whether it's really cold or really hot like that burning sensation that's what happens no but yeah here we go now look at this water gonna jump in there I think I'm deserved all right ended up doing a couple of those back and forth it actually got harder the second time around but that was an experience how do you find it great but cold yeah we're gonna go hit this at the sauna now to a thaw out and then I head to the vent some more thought out now and feeling good as you're feeling quite sleepy what seems to happen after the cold and the saunas which is why I love doing them in the evenings I always seem to get really good sleep so coming up to 10 o'clock now I'm actually running a bit late I'm gonna duck back to the hotel got my stuff pick up a few things and then head into slush so I'm here slush and that's going inside I'm already 10 minutes late for my first interview so I'm gonna go I gotta run so I needed a bit of work and I was looking around for a work station they found this neat little private pod by a framery so um it's like this half a meter by half a meter little soundproof room with charges and a little desk and a stool which is awesome so it's such a cool conference like wow it's so different to their typical conferences where it's all just white and boring and plain that's been a crazy day because the new o-ring just got announced this is it old one new one new o-ring you can pre-order it now I don't mean this to be a sales piece or anything but if you're interested in that ring check out my blog and no doubt by the time this goes out I'll have some great videos and stuff because I'm gonna I'm gonna pick these guys brain brains about this new ring because it's very very cool but yeah that's me from slush I am so tired it's 5 30 in the afternoon I'm sure all my body thinks it's like three o'clock in the morning all right guys so this channel is authentic Alex this is pretty authentic Alex working out with a bleeding nurse and not much sleep two legs bloody brutal usually I cook quite well but this trips really nailed me it's the last day of slush and I've got a lot to do today so I'm just gonna run with it and I brought my qualia so I'm gonna smash this I know you're not really meant to take it you know when you sleep deprived and stuff it's more of a when things are good top-to-out type thing but I'm gonna I'm just gonna hit that because I need anything I can today and then what else we go we got the we got the human charger I found it's actually it is helping it's helping like the stimulus side of things I think I've got a few other supplements lying around so I gonna hit a land and I'll go downstairs and get a little bit coffee into me I've brought some creatine and amino acids creates entirely on helps with sleep deprivation I think there's one study on it and I need a main line that stuff today let's let's see how we go today I'm running around about to hit up a little bit of energy now anyway open the curtains and check this out it's snowing so cool I've seen proper snow on a mountain but I've never had so pumped I have to run outside this is so cool my running around here outside in the snow and he runs looking at me like I'm in that case it's such a really cold and it's so cool and this other guy just came out and he was taking photos as well and I look at the west end first time seeing stories and yeah pretty special moment all right guys so it's Friday night here and how I thank you slush is over and I just had one of the best experiences I've had in very very long time something that I'm not gonna forget um yeah probably the rest of my life to be honest it was it was magical it was it was great and I feel amazing and that's the result of this guy damn it was from author co-author of the biohackers handbook and founder of the biohackers summit here and off and we did the traditional Finnish sauna experience many of you might have heard about the sauna if you ever heard about infrared sauna that's not a sauna it's an infrared heating room according to international sauna federation you can only use the word sauna for the traditional dry sauna which is used in Finland and the one that we had here is something called the smoke sauna and this facility where we are is where the research into the health benefits of sauna really started we did them the traditional real experience and how was that I mean I feel about it yeah I mean it was I feel so good right now like this morning I was a wreck jet lag and everything and right now I'm like this is better than any coffee coffee I can totally testify he's not he's like a new man right now so we also dunk into the Baltic Sea you can almost like see see to Estonia kidding but it's like we're like 15 minutes away from downtown Helsinki but this area looks like you're in the middle of nowhere it's beautiful it's magical so if any one of you is interested in any of this stuff check out by hacking book dot com that's where we are this guy's like the most intelligent fire hacker I know they probably exist I kid you not this whole trip's been a massive experience for me but this is probably the cherry on the top so look at the snow look at the stone background how cool is that
