I've spent my entire career focused on helping humans improve both mentally and physically.
To keep that ball rolling... I'm excited to officially share that I’ve partnered with @eternal, and not just as a podcast sponsor on @LongRunLabs and @ForTheLRPod, but as a consultant and sales lead helping shape their sales and go-to-market strategy.
If you work in the outdoor, performance, or endurance space; whether building a brand, a product, or your own engine, you’ve probably had the same thought I’ve had: We spend so much time optimizing the work, but not nearly enough time on ourselves.
That’s exactly why Eternal stood out.
They’re building personalized healthcare for athletes, operators, and high-performers: people who treat health and performance like a long-term investment, not a short-term fix.
Their flagship offering is a two-hour, in-person Performance assessment in NYC or SF, the "yearly physical for athletes" including 70+ biomarker blood tests, metabolic testing, mobility screens, and movement analysis — all interpreted by sport-informed clinicians.
No fluff, no generics, just actionable insight tailored to your lifestyle and goals.
If you want next level support, you can opt for the Pro Plan, which includes year-long access to a Care Team that includes dietitians and physicians.
Looking for a lighter option? Check out Foundations.
This is the kind of data-driven, evidence-backed care that I’m stoked to have now that I’m squarely in my mid 30’s, and I’m fired up to help bring it to more athletes who need it.
🎙️ You’ll hear more about Eternal on Long Run Labs in an upcoming chat with founder and CEO @amather (he founded and sold The Athletic to The New York Times!), and from Kelsey Bailey, lead dietitian on FTLR, in an episode all about performance nutrition for runners. And maybe we can even get Larissa Rivers on to talk about her world marathon majors training and goal!
📊 You can check out their offerings at eternal.co - and leave a reply if you're interested in a sweet deal 😉
💡 If you’re curious about the experience or company, I’m always down to chat
I've been super impressed by the team led by Alex Mather, as he brought many of his colleagues from Strava to The Athletic, and now to Eternal. Says a lot about the leader and overall culture when colleagues stick together for not just two, but three businesses.
And look at that advisory board!
Let’s build better... and stay healthy while we’re at it.

We collaborated with @amather and the team towards the tail end of 2024 to create a beautiful brand that aimed to design an identity bridging sports and medicine without screaming sports and medicine.
Big shoutout to the team for trusting our team and letting us do our thing 😎
Alex Mather retweeted
As a beta tester of the product I can say with certainty that I’m very excited for this launch. Congrats Alex!
It is time to help everyone refocus on sustainable, consistent health and fitness goals.
Alex Mather retweeted
Athletes are stuck navigating their health via reddit, podcasts, labs-by-mail, friends—not their doctor.
Traditional care treats symptoms and baselines, not the whole person or their goals.
Excited to back @amather + team as they build the future of performance healthcare.

🚨 LIVE NOW: How To Save San Francisco w/ SF Mayoral Candidate Mark Farrell
San Francisco should be the greatest city in the world, and that’s the goal — a place where crime is illegal, NGO grifters are removed, public transportation is solvent, and the budget is balanced. Things, in other words, should just be normal.
Pirate Wires recently endorsed Mark Farrell (@MarkFarrellSF) to become the next mayor of San Francisco. Today, Mark joins us for a special pod episode to give his vision for the future of San Francisco and why he will bring the city back to its glory.
With the Election Day only a few days away, the path forward is clear (for people who aren’t insane). Link threaded below ⬇️

Mike Solana’s website, Pirate Wires, has become a must-read among Silicon Valley’s anti-woke crowd.
His rise corresponds with the ascent of a Silicon Valley political ideology that mixes pro-tech, anti-media, and Trump-curious sentiments, @jcbeam writes: theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv…

A few quick thoughts on @ShamsCharania: I was fortunate enough to work very closely with him for 6 years. Could not have asked for more from a teammate. Generous, tenacious, thoughtful. He always shared the spotlight. It was always a partnership. 1/x

Man, Zach Lowe will get lots of offers and probably wind up with more money and more creative freedom elsewhere, but it's really hard to have much confidence in ESPN's strategy of terminating all the talent that positively differentiated it.

do you live in san francisco? are you sane? are you eligible to vote? who am i kidding, it's san francisco, and you're in luck: the season's most hotly anticipated voter guide has arrived. please share this with everyone you know who isn't crazy.
a san francisco voter guide for people who aren’t insane
San Francisco should be the greatest city in the world, and that’s the goal. But before we get to all the fun shit — new tunnels and trains up your ass, rooftop hydroponic gardens of genetically-modified flora, every building in the city zoned to seven stories (provided it is beautiful (we all know what is, and what is not, beautiful)), 24-hour clubbing in the foggy neon “midnight district,” promotions and raises for whoever is managing the city parks (you guys are doing a great job actually, thank you), and a colossal “Justice” statue on Alcatraz Island to match New York City’s Lady Liberty — we need to claw our way back to base-level human civilization.
Namely: crime should be illegal, emergency shelter should be built for the homeless, that emergency shelter should be prioritized over free one-bedroom apartments for drug addicts who just moved to the city, NGOs grifting city dollars in the name of improving a social problem they invariably make worse should be starved of funding, public schools should be safe and clean, public transportation should be solvent, and the budget should be balanced. Things, in other words, should just be normal.
At various points we have termed this philosophy of government “duh,” “yeah no shit,” and “what if things just worked?” Over time, the philosophy has become more popular, and today adherents of this radical perspective on local government functioning in a manner that is not, technically speaking, terroristic in nature… are legion. This is a voter guide for you — people who aren’t insane. Accept no substitutions.
Basic breakdown of the guide looks like this: first, we provide a cheat sheet with every answer, one after the other, for easy cribbing in your polling booth. Then, below, a bit more context if you’re curious about our thinking. This guide was put together by the Pirate Wires editorial team, with special thanks to guest star @sathaxe.
Now, let’s get down to business.

"These are leaders of multi hundred billion multitrillion dollar companies so bound by their business interests that they can't say basic things like “genocide is bad; Concentration camps shouldn't exist” because it would so severely impact their business. What a testament to the failures of US policy on the commerce side, as well as the foreign policy side, that we've created an entire economy where that is the case."
"Israel has my [and our] unqualified support,” said Anduril’s Founder, @PalmerLuckey speaking on stage yesterday at the @WSJLive's Tech Live Conference.
"What's happening in Israel is just another instance of the same type of evil that's been going on for a very long time. And I think it reflects very poorly on our billionaire class that you're not seeing a whole of country effort to become involved and to speak up about these issues, hedging on condemnation of Hamas for fear of saying the wrong thing, either in the court of public opinion or because it hurts their business interests.”

Proud of this one with @TheAthletic. It was really important to me that we use a Japanese artist.
Context from artist Kentaro Yoshida: The Lotus flower is Shohei Ohtani's birthday month flower in Japan, and the text containers represent the Japanese art movement Ukiyo-e.
