@LeilaHormozi Its excruciating

Most performance reviews measure output. None of them measure whether the person giving them is okay.

You can’t out-supplement a 60-hour work week.

[Dr Dylan Riggs @DrDylanRiggs]

The healthiest thing most executives could do has nothing to do with diet. It’s learning to say no.

[Dr Dylan Riggs @DrDylanRiggs]

Stress isn’t a personality trait. It’s a symptom of a broken system.

[Dr Dylan Riggs @DrDylanRiggs]

We spend billions optimizing software. We spend almost nothing optimizing the people running it.

The meeting that could’ve been an email is also the reason your best employee is burning out.

[Dr Dylan Riggs @DrDylanRiggs]

Your company’s greatest liability isn’t legal risk. It’s an exhausted workforce.

[Dr Dylan Riggs @DrDylanRiggs]

Sleep deprivation costs the US economy $411 billion a year. No one puts that in the quarterly report.

[Dr Dylan Riggs @DrDylanRiggs]

The biggest risk in your company isn’t injury.

It’s degraded thinking at the top.

You fix it by redesigning how leaders work and protect themselves.

@NTFabiano Your relationships are a detriment or a boost to your health

[Dr Dylan Riggs @DrDylanRiggs]

@SahilBloom You can work as much as you want as long as you love it and you recover as hard as you work. That’s what I’ve observed in my patient population as a chiropractor.

[Dr Dylan Riggs @DrDylanRiggs]

Relationships are the foundation of long term health and also success in business. Make them your #1 priority

[Leila Hormozi @LeilaHormozi]

No relationship is easy.
But the best relationships are hard in ways that make you feel proud, not resentful.

[Dr Dylan Riggs @DrDylanRiggs]

@ItsRyanDevlin Grind culture pays you just enough to convince to trade your happiness and health. Often times the only way out is more instability

[Dr Dylan Riggs @DrDylanRiggs]

Sustained mental effort reduces performance capacity even without physical fatigue. While degrading health.

Grinding longer = worse output.

Fix:
• 90–120 min deep work
• Hard cognitive breaks
• No stacked high-stakes meetings
