"This week on the podcast, on the 5th anniversary of Mikkipedia,
Mikki speaks to returning guest AND the very first guest ever on
the podcast, Professor Grant Schofield. They chat about the value
of doing hard things in a time where almost everything is
comfortable and easy. This is on the back of Grant’s soon to be
released book on the topic and this episode is a conversation
between two friends and colleagues about the important pillars of
doing hard things and how they integrate this principle into
their own lives.Grant is a Professor of Public Health at Auckland
University of Technology, former Director of the University’s
Human Potential Centre, former Chief Scientific Adviser to the
Ministry of Education in New Zealand, co-author of four
best-selling books and Chief Science Officer for
PREKURE.Professor Grant’s career has focused on preventing the
diseases of modern times, and seeing what it takes to help people
live a long, healthy and happy life.He lives and breathes the
motto “be the best you can be”, and sees this as a game-changer
for the health system - capable of transforming the current
health (sickness) model, to one in which we aspire to be well. He
is redefining public health as the science of human potential;
the study of what it takes to have a great life.Grant is well
known for thinking outside the box and challenging conventional
wisdom in nutrition and weight loss, as well as physical activity
and exercise.He brings his fluency across several scientific
disciplines - from human physiology, to psychology, to peak
performance – to his role at PREKURE, where he delivers world
class training in lifestyle medicine"
