Notes Producer's note: When the show "ends," we are still recording
while we all say goodbye. This time our goodbye turned into a great
conversation with Dave after we finished recording Episode 33
(https://sustain.codefund.fm/33). With Font Awesome 6
(https://fontawesome.com/6) coming out soon, we thought, why not
celebrate by taking that extra tape and make an
extension/bonus/part-2 episode? We hope you enjoy it! Hello and
welcome to Sustain! In this episode, we have Dave Gandy, from Font
Awesome, talking about how he and his wife each lost 50lbs, how
they did it, and about how important self-care is today. He will
also tell you how he fit two donuts a day for a month into his
diet, which he refers to as the “Donut Diet.” Download this episode
now to find out how he did this and listen to the great advice he
shares with us. [00:01:38] Dave talks about how he lost 50 lbs with
working out and how “Stronger U” nutrition came into his life.
[00:03:57] Dave explains his cheat days and he refers to it as “The
Donut Diet,” eating 2 donuts a day for a month, and still kept the
weight off. [00:05:51] Dave tells us about why the Stronger U
membership is so good and worth the price to pay. [00:07:20]
Richard talks about how he is trying to meditate every day and how
you have to put in time to meditate to get better and Dave brings
up prayer which is another form of meditation. [00:09:45] Richard
brings up how all this applies to open source which is all about
putting your money where your mouth is and making commitments.
[00:10:58] Dave talks about the best way to self-care. Great advice
here! [00:12:23] Dave talks about how there’s no such thing as
failure, because you are growing and developing as person. He also
talks about how to not worry about fear. Quotes [00:05:10] “I don’t
think there is evil and good food. There’s not evil foods and
there’s not hero foods, there’s just food and there’s the stuff
that we like.” [00:06:04] “This isn’t a business where free trial
can work. You’re not going to see it, unless YOU DO IT!” [00:06:44]
“It’s not so much about extending the years of your life, it’s
about taking the ones that you have and making them better!”
[00:10:38] “The commitments we make to each other help make things
stronger!” [00:11:16] “The way to the best self-care is other care.
When you worry about others, you think about them and try to do
that first, you end up in a weird way taking care of yourself.”
[00:12:35] “If you’re doing it the way that you think is right to
begin with, there is no such thing as failure.” Links Dave Gandy
