What is biohacking?
Biohacking is not about living forever or chasing trends. It’s about deliberately upgrading how your body and mind perform—right now.

In this episode of the Nick Fong Podcast, Nick sits down with Dale Smith, a lifelong fitness entrepreneur who has spent over 50 years practicing what biohacking looks like in real life: discipline, strength training, breathwork, recovery, cold exposure, infrared therapy, and consistency over decades.

This conversation breaks down biohacking in practical terms—what actually matters, what most people misunderstand, and why age is not the limiting factor people think it is.

Biohacking, as discussed here, is simple but demanding:
train your body, control your breath, recover intelligently, and build discipline that compounds over time.

No shortcuts. No motivation hacks. Just long-term performance.

In this episode of The Nick Fong Podcast, Nick sits down with photographer Ben Horton for a grounded conversation about photography, place, and what still feels real in a rapidly changing world.

Ben has spent decades documenting extreme environments, wildlife, and remote cultures—working on long-term projects around the world and returning again and again to Baja California Sur. In this episode, he reflects on how photography is evolving, why trust in images is shifting, and why certain places continue to resist simplification.

They talk about Baja not as a destination, but as an experience—raw, physical, and human. A place where light, space, and presence still matter. The conversation moves through storytelling, creativity, and why meaningful work today depends less on tools and more on lived experience.

This isn’t a technical episode.
It’s a reflection on craft, truth, and why some places—and some stories—still have weight.

What does luxury truly mean when your business is built on trust, precision, and human connection?

In this episode of The Nick Fong Podcast, Nick Fong sits down with Karla Casillas, founder of Karla Casillas & Co., a leading force in the luxury wedding and events industry in Los Cabos. With more than three decades of experience, Karla shares the real story behind building one of Mexico’s most respected luxury service brands.

This conversation goes beyond destination weddings.

Karla talks openly about entrepreneurship, burnout, leadership, mistakes that shaped her career, and why communication—not trends—is the foundation of true luxury. She explains how luxury clients think, why personalization matters more than aesthetics, and what it takes to scale a high-touch business without losing its soul.
