Gyms are coming to airports…

I had the privilege of spending time with @SecKennedy and @SecDuffy as the DOT announced a new initiative to bring gyms into U.S. airports.

This is a $1B grant program that airports across the country can apply for to build real spaces for people to move while they travel.

The problem is that airports, and travel in general, are one of the most sedentary experiences in American life.

Think about it: the traffic getting there, the waiting, the long flights… hours and hours without movement.

And we know that being sedentary is not good for us.

Even 1 hour of inactivity can lead to vascular dysfunction at the level of the endothelium (PMID: 25137367, 27443851).

And studies have shown that 2-3 hours of inactivity leads to a rise in inflammatory markers (PMID: 31562947, 22176839, 28323950).

Imagine having a place to actually move your body before a flight or during a layover.

This is the kind of change that can meaningfully improve health for millions of travellers.

And the craziest part?

This entire opportunity began from one story I posted in an airport. You never know who’s watching or where a simple idea can lead.

Moments like this make me incredibly grateful, and remind me why this work matters.

Every time you share a video or spread the message, it opens doors for conversations and initiatives like this - so thank you for your help.

If you want a mini-gym in your airport, tag your local airport, tag Secretary Duffy (@SecDuffy) on X, and share this with your friends and family.

Please help us make mini-gyms in airports a reality in hundreds thousands of airports across the country!

This is pretty wild.

I just like palindromes

Just saw this at my grandmas. I literally just watched Idiocracy last night 😂

Trump is going to start sending out “free” money and bitcoin is going to melt everyone’s face off.

Thank you for your attention to this matter.

A little rainy but that’s okay

Had an incredible dinner last night with John Perkins: Author of Confessions of an Economic Hitman. Well on his way to deeply understanding #bitcoin and freedom tech.

Government officials often use “security” as an excuse to take your rights. They’ll increasingly say they need to surveil and control your communications and payments to keep people secure.

How about starting with the streets and trains and such? If they were actually serious about security more-so than control, they’d make sure that basic stuff is sorted out first.

It's why all the phone manufacturers removed headphone jacks

It’s a beautiful day to be alive.

Start your day with sunshine.

"I did so much dumb shit... fuckin' amazing that I survived... but here we are... parents." I love this quote... then for those that can relate, the question becomes "should you share your pre-adult stories with your kids"? My rule of thumb is no... they will find their own trouble to get into. Instead, spend the time praying that they come out unscathed, don't end up in jail, and learn from their "dumb shit. "
