If you've been on your Peloton bike, Tread or App since 2021, you've probably taken a class with Camila Ramón. She was the first Spanish speaking instructor on the bike and since her inaugural ride, she's brought the music, culture and body positivity she wanted to see more of in the world. We spend our time on the episode talking about how she came to fall back in love with movement after years of dance, the importance of music to her, and what it's like to work at Peloton.

As a lifelong learner, I feel pretty fortunate that I get to interview smart people, innovators, and inventors and say, "teach me something." And this week, the big question was about Essential Fatty Acids. What makes a fatty acid essential? Spoiler: you have to ingest it and your body needs it for important functions.

The thing about being human is that we’re born ready to discover the world - the sights, the sounds, what makes us happy, what scares us, and even who we are. Our identity is something that comes to us piece by piece as we mature and explore the world around us. Can you imagine living a life that fully supports you discovering your identity? Today, we’re speaking with Dr. Gwen Bass about her work in creating identity-affirming environments that promote belonging. She also wrote a book Called Im
