The 29 tools that run my field lab in Bali — sleep, cell chemistry, training, AI and the plumbing of a life abroad. Where a brand gave me a code, it’s on the card, and the button copies it for you on the way out.
Green dot = live partner deal (15 of 29): a code, or a discount applied through the link.
Heat, light and noise decide how deep you sleep before you do. These remove all three — then the cold handles the morning.
$200–$350 off
Falling asleep rides on a drop in core body temperature, and a humid Bali night fights that drop. The Pod water-cools or warms each side of the bed through the night, so the temperature curve deep sleep needs actually happens. The single biggest sleep upgrade in the lab.
100% mulberry silk
Light through closed eyelids still reaches your body clock. In a 2022 Northwestern study, one night of sleep with a dim overhead light on raised insulin resistance the next morning. A wide mulberry-silk mask is the cheapest fix for that problem on this page.
Acoustic zero
Noise you sleep through still fragments sleep: sound spikes trigger micro-arousals and heart-rate jumps you never remember. In Bali that means scooters and 4 a.m. roosters. Soft silicone I can wear all night — and for 30-minute deep-work sprints by day.

Cold water is a catecholamine lever: in a classic study, an hour at 14 °C raised noradrenaline about 5× and dopamine about 2.5×. The Plunge holds its own temperature, so the dose is repeatable. My rule: mornings, never straight after lifting — immediate cold blunts the muscle-building signal.
MAKSYM42921Three molecules, each with a defined job in the energy chain. Nothing here I can’t explain at the level of the cell.
NSF Certified for Sport
Creatine tops up phosphocreatine, the reserve that rebuilds ATP in the first seconds of a hard set — exactly the energy system a dense 9:30 session runs on. 5 g a day, no loading phase. Thorne’s batches are NSF Certified for Sport, tested for banned substances.
NAD+ precursor
NAD+ runs mitochondrial energy production and declines with age; NMN is a direct precursor, and human trials show it reliably raises blood NAD+. Whether that buys extra healthy years is still an open question, so I treat it as a side bet, not a cornerstone.
7-form matrix
The ATP your cells actually spend is bound to magnesium, and low magnesium status tracks with weaker insulin sensitivity in population studies — yet most diets run short. Seven forms in one capsule spread absorption across different routes instead of betting on a single salt.
Load is the signal; the room is irrelevant. Everything the 9:30 protocol needs, in a villa or a hotel room.
5-piece suite
GLUT4 moves to the muscle-cell surface under dense mechanical tension: load is the signal, the room is irrelevant. These five pieces give progressive load in a villa — grip rings, a hex dumbbell, ankle weights, a rebounder and bands. One square metre, zero commute.
5-piece suite
In Bali, heat is the real training variable. Dri-FIT moves sweat off the skin so it can evaporate and cool you, Pegasus cushioning handles road tempo, and a handled band covers shoulder work anywhere. The kit I actually train in outdoors.
Seamless compression
Seamless knit means nothing to chafe through full range of motion in tropical humidity. A close fit also does a quiet job: you see your positions — and your progress — in the mirror and on camera.
The exocortex: software and cameras that turn one person into a studio, a sales team and a research desk.
30-day free pass
One login replaces the CRM, funnel builder, calendars, email and SMS, and the AI chat agents I used to pay for separately. My partner link stretches the standard 14-day trial to 30 days and adds a live onboarding bootcamp.
The booking layer behind every briefing I run: one link, live availability across calendars, automatic video rooms and prefilled lead data. Open source, so the scheduling stack stays mine. My partner link takes 20% off any paid plan for the first 12 months.
Lead filters on the largest professional graph: role, seniority, company growth, recent job changes. Saved searches with alerts catch decision-makers right after they move. My referral coupon unlocks two months free instead of the usual one.
Sub-249 g · 4K HDR
Under 249 g — the lightest regulatory class in many countries — with a 1/1.3-inch sensor, 4K/60 HDR and a gimbal that rotates for true vertical 9:16. Omnidirectional obstacle sensing makes solo flights over reefs and rice terraces sane. Check local drone rules before you fly.
4-piece suite
A one-person film crew: Luna Ultra, a Leica co-engineered 1-inch 8K gimbal camera, for walk-and-talk; X4 for 360° third-person shots; GO 3S as a thumb-sized magnetic POV cam; Flow Pro to track faces natively in the iPhone camera via Apple DockKit.
Partner code
Cinematic AI video that speaks camera language — dolly, crane, crash zoom — plus image-to-video and consistent characters. I storyboard Reels and ad concepts here before a single real shoot.
MAXIM22Word-by-word auto captions, beat sync, loudness normalisation and 9:16 templates — the finishing line for every Reel I post. The VIP pass unlocks Pro features free for a limited period.
0o5Qch68865880Animate interfaces, logos and social posts in the browser, then export to MP4, GIF or Lottie. For product motion it replaces After Effects at a fraction of the learning curve.
Speaking is about three times faster than typing. Flow turns speech into clean, formatted text in any app — briefs, emails, code comments — and strips the filler words. One month of Pro free with my code.
MAXIM88020One API call turns any website into clean Markdown or structured JSON that LLMs and agents can read — crawl, scrape, extract. It’s the data intake for the lab’s research agents.
AI photo studio
Sky replacement, relighting, portrait retouching and noise cleanup, all AI-driven — a full grading pass on a travel photo in under a minute.
14-day free trial
A link-in-bio storefront with one-tap Apple Pay checkout for courses, ebooks and bookings. Every tap between a Reel and a payment costs you buyers; Stan removes most of them.
A home base for independent work — portfolio, contracts, invoices, payments — that charges freelancers no commission. You keep what clients pay, in fiat or USDC.
Isolated cloud execution environments for asynchronous repository refactoring without local machine overhead.
Borders, banks and networks — the plumbing of a life lived across time zones.
Airlines and immigration desks often refuse one-way travellers without proof of onward travel. Onward Ticket issues a real, checkable reservation in the airline booking system for a small fee — no buying a refundable fare and chasing the refund.
Up to 74% off
Encrypts traffic on villa and café Wi-Fi, and lets you appear from home when a banking app flags a foreign IP. On by default on every device I travel with.
PARADISE
Up to €90 bonus
One account for EUR, USD, GBP and IDR: exchange at the interbank rate within your plan’s allowance, spin up disposable virtual cards, pay with Apple Pay anywhere. The welcome bonus varies by country.
MAXIM0YOA self-custody crypto wallet with a spend card — the keys stay with you. Once you’re in, your own invites earn 0.5% in USDC on friends’ card spend. My on-chain lane next to Revolut.
63C950One object, worn every day.
18K gold & 925 silver
Solid 925 sterling silver and 18K gold vermeil, made to survive sweat, salt water and showers. The sun medallion is the one object I wear every day, on camera and off.
Everything above amplifies one routine: nine and a half minutes of dense, sub-maximal muscle work. Mechanical tension moves GLUT4 transporters to the muscle-cell surface without waiting for insulin, so muscle pulls glucose out of the blood on its own. No gym, no cardio, at home.
