Ever wonder why you can recognise your friend's face instantly but struggle to remember where you put your keys? Your brain is running the most sophisticated learning system ever created, and most of us have no clue how it actually works.
Nicholas Shea is an Oxford and King's College Researcher working in philosophy of mind, cognitive neuroscience and artificial intelligence.
He breaks down the fascinating psychology behind how we build concepts in our minds. Think of concepts as mental shortcuts - when you see a dog, you don't analyse four legs, fur, and a tail. Your brain instantly accesses everything you know about dogs.
We dissect these fundamental building blocks of learning into how the brain actually works and learns, and build mastery.
Three key takeaways:
What builds basic concepts into subject mastery?
How do emotions inform decision-making?
The real difference between deliberate practice and passive learning

Let's unpack the heart of attention, addiction, autopilot and self-sabotage.
This episode is a deep dive into the junk food of thought: addictive mental loops that hijack your attention, and keep you stuck repeating the same boring patterns — again and again and again.
We talk about why your thoughts are like badly designed software, why addiction makes your brain less creative, and how to actually take back control. From scrolling email to self-sabotaging loops, it turns out the enemy isn’t the internet… it’s your untrained mind.
Reframe addiction as a self-inflicted cognitive handicap
Break the loop with “internal repulsion” instead of willpower
Interrupt the mental chatter that blocks creativity
You’ll never look at your own thoughts the same way again.

Mental Constraints: How to change your thoughts and break invisible limits you can't see
This episode is a ride through dimensions—space, time, and your own mind. It’s like stepping outside your body mid-coffee to ask, “Wait, what the hell am I doing?”
From Zen bugs to aeroplane windows, Sam breaks down how we’re all stuck in routines that make life two-dimensional. And the worst part? We don’t even notice.
You’ll learn:
Why your habits aren't just habits—they're constraints dressed as convenience
How to inject randomness into your week to break mental inertia
A simple way to use boredom as a creative tool
Don’t let your year pass in fast-forward. Open your thinking to start living in widescreen.

What if everything we believe about finding love is designed to keep us searching instead of finding?
This episode debunks some of the worst common advice and showcases what's genuinely useful.
It might start with you. The people most focused on finding the perfect partner often remain alone, while those focused on becoming the right partner tend to attract extraordinary relationships.
Shift from scarcity-based dating to abundance-based connection:
Understand "optimal search theory"
Focus on shared vision for the future rather than identical current interests
Recognise that generosity and a growth mindset matter more than initial chemistry
If you find someone, will you recognise them when you do?

Ever felt like life just sucker-punched you out of nowhere? That's exactly what Nassim Taleb calls a Black Swan event.
Most people think they can predict the future by looking at patterns. They study charts, analyze trends, and feel safe in their little bubble of certainty.
However, the biggest events that shape our lives—market crashes, pandemics, breakthrough innovations—are the ones nobody sees coming. ..
Beyond that, it's about how your brain tricks you into thinking you understand a world that's fundamentally unpredictable:
Stop trying to predict everything and start building resilience for anything
Rebuild your investment portfolio and life plan to deal with shocks
Prepare for worst-case scenarios instead of hoping for the best

The tools of thinking that fueled the Growth Mindset and fast decisions behind the success of Jeff Bezos.
Bezos frames business as a series of silent promises: to customers, to colleagues, to the future. Each promise is a primitive—simple, sturdy, waiting to be linked. When those links form, independence evolves into interdependence, and a whisper becomes a flywheel.
In this conversation, we explore how “Day One” thinking keeps the path clear, how a “regret-minimization lens” invites bold choices, and why “single-threaded leadership” protects the soul of a project.
Name your primitives—identify the small assets that can connect to others.
Map the flywheel—draw how each promise fuels the next.
Practice long-horizon thinking—act today as if seven years depend on it.

Self-help is sometimes the opposite. It can end up increasing your task list with a bunch of unrealistic expectations you never achieve.
Today’s conversation is about navigation, not directions.
We explore the quiet difference between a compass you trust and a checklist someone sells. Passport stamps matter less than the personality you bring to the journey; so does the company you invite to walk beside you.
We trade a stack of generic self-help books for three simple ideas you can put on a sticky note.
The answer might not even be faster growth but perhaps wiser detours and a network that grows because we grow.
Work out if a new habit is worthwhile or if you should be doing less
Build a personal compass based on your own interests
Show up as the person you are

A sunflower doesn’t hold strategy meetings to decide which way to grow. It simply tilts toward the light.
This conversation with Dr. Harry Cohen invites us to do the same. The heliotropic effect—our quiet, evolutionary pull toward positive energy—may be the simplest, most overlooked lever of leadership and community.
We explore what happens when you become the light source instead of chasing it. Why a six-second smile hacks brain chemistry, how a clean apology resets trust faster than any marketing funnel, and what my own networking face-plant taught me about social tax.
Take homes:
Swap “small talk” for small wins to trigger instant rapport
Schedule a daily 1 % kindness rep and track the ripple
Deploy the two-word apology before your ego drafts excuses

You’re not lazy. You’re overloaded. And no, another productivity hack won’t save you.
In this episode, I talk about how minimalism isn’t about white walls and hidden kitchen bins—it’s about your calendar, your relationships, your identity.
I unpack the joy of missing out using stories from travel, creative burnout, and watching a guy walk around Britain with nothing but a backpack. Turns out, when you’re doing too much, you're not living—you’re buffering.
We explore how having too many goals is like trying to break a window with a handful of dust.
Want more focus? You have to do less.
Three things you’ll learn:
Why doing less actually makes you better at what matters
How owning less clears mental space (not just your room)
A question to instantly identify what’s worth saying “no” to
Want your brain back? Hit play.

Love isn’t just a feeling, it’s a pattern. And patterns, when understood, can be changed.
We are the descendants of beings who bonded, lusted, and survived—not by chance, but by biology.
In this episode, we explore the elegant architecture of love, divided into three distinct experiences: lust, attraction, and attachment.
Each has its own hormonal symphony: testosterone’s drive, dopamine’s thrill, oxytocin’s warmth. But these chemicals, while essential, are not our destiny. We must choose how we respond to them.
The opportunity lies in seeing love not just as passion, but as a practice—a practice of self-awareness, empathy, and intentionality.
Reframe love from chaos to conscious experience.
Observe your emotions without becoming them.
Build connection that outlasts dopamine spikes.
Your biology is the system, but your awareness can evolve it.

A system that grows stronger from chaos? That’s not science fiction. It’s nature’s original design.
Nassim Taleb's Antifragile isn't just a book. It’s a lens—a way to see the world not as a series of risks to be avoided, but as opportunities to evolve.
In this episode, we explore what it means to thrive in disorder. From ancient myths like the Hydra, to modern jobs and biological systems, we trace the pattern: fragility is punished, antifragility is rewarded.
What if you built a life where setbacks made you better, not bitter?
Where unpredictability wasn’t a threat, but a catalyst?
That’s the shift we’re inviting you to make.
Takeaways:
Design your systems to gain from shocks, not just resist them.
Embrace small failures—they prevent catastrophic ones.
Seek environments where your upside grows with uncertainty.

Cognitive bias. False memory. The Dunning-Kruger effect. What do they all have in common?
They show how unreliable our minds can be.
In this episode, we explore the science and philosophy of self-knowledge.
From flawed reasoning and failed planning to empathy gaps and epistemic humility. But explained using normal English...
Along the way, we uncover powerful tools to help you become more reliable, more curious, and a little less wrong.

People avoid you for reasons that have nothing to do with your deodorant.
You can be smart, talented, even funny—but if people feel unseen or misunderstood around you, your life gets smaller.
Dr. Steven Stein has tested emotional intelligence in everyone from Air Force recruiters to reality TV contestants. And the results are weirdly human.
EQ isn’t about being soft. It’s about knowing when to shut up, when to speak up, and when to walk away.
This episode breaks down emotional intelligence like it’s a muscle group: you’ve got to work it, stress it, and recover from it. Steven explains the science, shares unexpected stories (like lighthouse keepers and narcissists), and makes EQ feel practical
We explore:
🔹 Spot the everyday signs you're low on EQ (and how to fix them)
🔹 Build empathy without becoming a pushover
🔹 Train your emotional intelligence like going to the gym
🔹 The biggest traits of success in the FBI, air force, army and navy
🔹 The psychology of reality TV
Come away with the practical side of emotional intelligence in real life - not just in theory

We just need to - Do The Thing
It's easy to overcomplicate productivity:
Over analysing your habits
Over examing your past
Over sharing your strategies.
These are all effective ways to not be productive.
In this episode, we cut through the fluff and focus on the pure, simple truths.

We don’t see the future. We predict it — and sometimes we predict disaster before it’s even possible.
Catastrophizing is a mental reflex. It’s your mind, desperate for control, drawing monsters where none exist yet.
In this episode, we explore the quiet space between stimulus and story — the moment you could choose curiosity over certainty.
Relationships, careers, self-worth: all suffer when we confuse our imagined outcomes with inevitable truths. But if we learn to watch the story unfold without believing it, something remarkable happens. We reclaim possibility.
You’ll leave with:
Understanding of how the brain creates fear to protect itself
Tools for building awareness instead of reaction
A framework for making peace with uncertainty — and using it to grow
The psychology that makes false fears feel real
Stop letting your brain run disaster drills for things that haven’t happened. Tune in.

What if the person you think you are is an outdated idea?
In this episode, we explore how habits form—not from logic, but from history. From childhood rules to adult rituals, your behaviours aren’t just choices. They’re echoes.
We look at behavioural debt: how the past continues to extract payments from your present and what you can do about it.
We look expansively at different ways we pick up all these habits and identities, and then use 5 ideas from psychology and philosophy to fix them.
There’s a monk shedding illusions, a writer who redefined his identity, and a cycling team that changed everything with 1% improvements. These aren’t just stories. They’re invitations—to become intentional, to design rituals that serve who you want to be, not who you used to be.
Takeaways:
Reframe your identity as something you craft, not inherit
Use “identity microshifts” to pay off your behavioural debt
Hack your own Fresh Start Effect—even on a random Tuesday
Learn how to become yourself through subtraction instead of adding more things
If you’ve ever felt like your habits were someone else’s or like your current actions no longer serve who you are, this episode will make a lot of sense to you.
The real work isn’t in learning more—it’s in unlearning what no longer fits.

How often do you say no?
In this episode, I unpack the beautiful mess that is boundary-setting—with stories, psychology, and a touch of Brexit. This episode dives deep into what it really means to assert your needs.
Boundaries aren’t about building walls—they’re more like installing a front door with a lock you actually use. We explore why people-pleasing kills self-respect, how resentment creeps in when you’re too “nice,” and why your future depends on the limits you’re willing to draw today.
What you’ll take away:
10 signs of poor boundaries
How to spot a weak boundary before it drains your energy
Why saying no can be the kindest thing you do
You teach people how to treat you by what you tolerate
How to identify emotional manipulation in everyday relationships
A quadrant model that makes difficult conversations easier
Listen now if you’re ready to stop being agreeable and start being respected.

What separates those who break from those who bend? A shift—not in strength, but in perspective.
In today’s episode, we look at the 4 quadrants of mental resilience: Control, Commitment, Challenge, and Confidence —using a blend of metaphors, Stoic wisdom, and powerful stories from history.
Think of your mind like a car: control is the steering wheel, commitment is the fuel, challenge is the terrain, and confidence? That’s your engine. From Helen Keller to Joan of Arc, you’ll see how legendary mental strength isn’t born—it’s built. Plus, learn why reacting to criticism like a calm kung-fu master might be your new superpower.
Mental toughness isn’t built in heroic moments; it’s forged in the quiet choice to show up again.
Reflect on where you place your power: inside or out?
Anchor your goals in systems, not wishful thinking.
Let difficulty be your teacher, not your warning sign.
If you’re ready to change how you see resilience, this episode will shift everything.
