#687: Justin Gary — Taking the Path Less Traveled, The Phenomenon of “Magic: The Gathering,” How Analytical People Can Become “Creative” People, Finding the Third Right Answer, and How to Escape Your Need for Control

This episode is brought to you by Roka, makers of the world's most versatile eyewear. I am incredibly impressed with Roca, actually. The quality is outstanding. And a lot of my friends who are lead athletes also wear them. That's how I was introduced to them. I like to stay active, a lot of long term listeners will know this. And my eyewear has to be up to the task. Brands that make everyday eyewear, sunglasses and glasses, don't generally build them for people who are really on the move a lot. So you have to wear clunky shades on a run. Deal with glasses that slip off your face or buy some kind of sports specific frames. Roka has fixed all of that by packing the same features used in eyewear for Olympic gold medalists and world champions into stylish everyday sunglasses, eyeglasses and reading glasses. So you get more with

Less. It's an elegant solution. With Roka, one pair does it all. You can go from work to a workout, to dinner with friends without ever needing to switch glasses. I never have to interrupt a hike, for instance, to take my sunglasses off and wipe my nose or frames because Rokus no-slip feature keeps my shades right where they started. If you wear prescription glasses, which I will probably end up wearing pretty soon as you get older, you know, these things happen, you can finally ditch the contacts and have no slip fashionable frames that keep up with you and your active lifestyle. Personally, I've been using their Rory blue light glasses after sunset, and I can feel the improvement in my sleep quality. I'm falling asleep faster. During the day, I've been loving the Falcon. This is Roka's ultra lightweight titanium aviators. Been wearing those, say, when I go out on nice sunny days in Austin for long walks. I also enjoy supporting Roka.

Speaking of Austin as home town heroes, is they are based in my backyard right here in Austin, Texas. Roka's ultra lightweight no slip fit and advanced lens coatings, combined with their exceptional style, I actually have many other styles, I just mentioned two, also make these a favorite for a lot of my friends. You may have heard about them from Andrew Huberman and many others. There are a lot of people wearing these things. The quality, as I mentioned before, is really outstanding. They are very, very durable and with more than 19,000 five star reviews. Can't wait until they get to twenty thousand. That'll be a celebration, I bet. But with more than nineteen thousand five star reviews, Roka has created a solution that active people love. Plus they hand build their glasses, sunglasses, and reading glasses all in the USA.
