Mark Zhang Returns: New 20% Tiger Father, Obsessed with "Primal Man", Failed Nomad, Unleashed via Mindset Coaching

My pal Mark returns, this time with a baby in tow!

It’s pretty great to be able to have a snapshot in time of someone’s life, before and after having a baby. You're welcome, Mark.

I’m realizing that is part of the appeal for recording these conversations for myself as well. They are moments and places in time that represent different phases in life, and the same exact type of intersections and relationships will never occur again. Damn, time is tough.

Let's consider this the fatherhood episode for the time being. As a reminder, Mark is the CEO of Manta Sleep, which produces the world’s greatest eye mask.

Among other things, we talk about: witnessing a childbirth, the life changing magic of the scheduled c-section, how to encourage out of the box thinking in kids, the fear-based nature of Asian families, his strange obsession with primal man and living like a caveman, being well rested because of his wife’s sacrifice, and the most religious moment of his life.

Thanks, Mark!
