Two longtime friends go deep. Joakim Noah—two-time NCAA champion, NBA All-Star, Defensive Player of the Year—joins Gabby to talk identity after sport, learning to give himself grace, fatherhood, and why trust is a coach’s real superpower. He shares the story behind his new travel/interview series Nomad, how losses shaped him more than wins, what Chicago taught him about community, and the mindset shift from “run through a wall” to leading with curiosity. Real talk on injuries, NIL, nature as counterbalance, and building a life that’s strong, calm, and connected.

In this candid, wide-ranging conversation, Gabby sits down with biohacker and author Ben Greenfield to explore what it really takes to live strong, grounded, and connected in today’s comfort-driven world. From building a 100-page family constitution and raising twin sons with purpose to experimenting with stem cells, plasma therapy, and cold exposure, Ben shares the rituals, science, and mindset behind his “warrior to wizard” evolution. They unpack everything from travel-proof fitness and daily mobility to faith, family, and the fine line between optimizing and overdoing it.

It’s a deep dive into high performance, parenting, and human potential—anchored by one simple truth: real resilience starts at home.
