Editor's introduction: You guys (gals, and transgendered ewok-Americans) know I'm a reluctant yet persistent cheerleader of Modafinil. Reluctant because it doesn't work for everyone, it can have unpleasant side effects, but for those who it does work for, it ROI's and the side effects are pretty benign. Modafinil is a relatively expensive smart drug but its popularity is undeniable and it's because it really ROI's for about two-thirds of the people who try - I think of a friend of mine, a pretty successful entrepreneur, that nonchalantly over a few beers in Medellín, Colombia mentioned that he makes at least an extra $100K a year because of his Modafinil habit. Not many people have told me similar things about other types of smart drugs and Nootropics.
Check out this article by ModafinilXL.com about how different professionals can use Modafinil. Luckily they sell Modafinil from <$1 per pill so you don't need to be as successful as my friend to afford it! - JR

With its ability to boost energy, alertness, and confidence, the smart drug modafinil can help people from all walks of life and in all different types of careers to improve their performance at work.

Here are 27 professionals who all use modafinil to increase their career success.

Yesterday I had the pleasure of being interviewed by Steve Cronin - a popular Youtube Biohacker; We discussed my origin story (it involves a federal courthouse) and my pessimistic predictions about the future of Biohacking...

In the final week of the Caballo crowdfunding campaign we received some quite shocking news, IndieGoGo killed the Caballo crowdfunding campaign as it was nearing its funding goal without warning or explanation.

I'll be honest, I was enraged for about 30 minutes, but I meditated, talked it over with a few friends and confidants (which are good to have!) and ultimately I think it's for the best.
Here's why...

• The crowdfunding platform almost totally failed to bring new members into our Biohacker community. Almost all of the customers who backed the campaign were from my email newsletter, website, Youtube channel, or people who know me personally from the offline world (yes, it's out there...)
• IndieGoGo takes a lot of time to disburse funds. I don't get your money until up too TWO weeks after the campaign ends. This delays your dollar's transformation into blood-brain barrier crossing cognitive enhancers.
• IndieGoGo's split+processing fees ads up to about 5% (that percentage will be important later in this email. Keep watching)

I'll explain shortly my plan to get Caballo to everyone who wants to try it.

In every social interaction, one person is more reactive than the other to the words and actions of the person they are communicating with.

Frame control is a topic that gets discussed Ad nauseam in hypothetical terms, in this article I'll break out of that by providing a mix of examples in pop culture, movies, and television along with personal anecdotes. Frame control is relevant to every human interaction but the most colorful examples of it come from the domains of business and seduction, I could deconstruct boundless case studies of it that are a whole lot more PG-rated, I've chosen examples that are a bit edgier so that you remember and can apply them.

As you will see there is quite a spectrum of Frame Control, and certain frame control methods should not be used in certain situations. This is not quite an area where you should just go with what feels natural. In fact, there are very few Frame Control naturals. You can find a ton of articles and books that discuss it theoretically in depth. However, if you'd like to see an infographic designed that breaks the topic down visually, let me know in the comments at the bottom. Although, honestly you may just find these examples more useful.

Biohacker Review: Siberian Ginseng will bring out the Genghis Khan in you!

This is my review of Eleuthero by Superman Herbs which is now called Lost Empire Herbs, which is actually a rebranding that I dislike - I'll explain why later.

I've been using Eleuthero (often referred to as Siberian Ginseng) which is a performance-enhancing herb for a little over a year now; this 100-gram package has lasted me that long. Which is pretty impressive, that's a lot of herbal performance enhancement millage from a supplement that costs about $40.
