I'm super excited because I feel like we've been making our lives intentionally difficult sometimes unintentionally uh But nonetheless based on what we briefly discussed before we went live Uh i suppose that is a good thing and so I prepared a couple of questions that I'd like to Go through with you and kind of better understand Where are you coming from and whats the difference between Making your life Intentionally more difficult Than creating friction versus Just being In a constant Pain theater and suffering Might not Be necessary Right Um maybe lets start At the beginning To set the pace Make sure everyone Is on the same page here You started Soldiers There was Your career Starting soldiers At the Physical Limit Then published a Book Telling Comfortable civilians To make their Lives harder On purpose How did he Get From A to B What's the Connection and

So one of the most important things is to have some degree of exertion.

So the human system was designed to be challenged.

And so if we think about from a physiological perspective, some degree of stress cognitive stress, physical stress emotional stress Were Designed as Humans to deal With that in Nature If you go Back Without all Of the Conveniences housing Shelter Fence We Had to Survive in nature yeah And so the Human System Body is Designed to Deal with these Factors What ive Studied is that Theres Unnecessary Adaptation Must Occur Going back Graduate School I Studied Human adaptation Heat Stress cold stress As Well What we Learned is that Not only when Expose Them to Extreme Heat Stress Say Forty Degrees Humidity Have Both Passive Active Walking Changes Physiologically example Way Sweat Conserve Sodium Become Less prone Dehydration less Prone Heat Exhaustion potentially Stroke interesting Enough crossover Effect Many changes occur related A series of proteins, uh, known as heat shock proteins.

They were labeled heat shock proteins because they were first identified when animal studies exposed animals to stress and they found this elevation in protein and it was termed heat shock protein.

There's also another protein family called Toll-like receptor, and that particular set of family of proteins were identified in response to immune challenges.

But actually when you look, the, the toll-like receptors also play a critical role in adaptation to stress.

Hmm

So can you give a little bit of a brief background story of yourself?

Of course, uh, grew up in St. Louis, um, I got into the shoe business.

The reason I'm in radio and broadcasting now is I was in the shoe business for 35 years.

I was the president of some small companies and executive in some big companies like Cole Haan.

People might know Cole Haan Shoes.

I worked out of Manhattan for their corporate office, Clark's Shoes.

I worked at Clark's Shoes.

you

So without any further ado, I'm gonna turn it over to Dr. Carter, and, uh, just maybe recap what you covered in part one and tell us where you're headed with part two.

Well, thanks, Jay.

Welcome.

Uh, thank you, audience, for sitting through this again.

Uh, but this is gonna be part two of a very, very interesting, uh, discussion.

It's based on my new book, First Adam to Last Adam: Biblical Genealogy in God's Redemptive Plan.

Now, like last time, the, understand I'm not discussing every single name in the Bible.
