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

There are a million ways to waste time.
We don't need a million and one ways to be productive.

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What if the person you think you are is an outdated idea?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.

There’s only so much logic you can apply to your problems, at some point you need to work with your biology.
The nervous system it an incredible organ built to help you survive and it can over-ride your conscious processing at will. To stop tripping over our barriers and build true resilience, reduce stress & feel more alive we need there is a way.
Working with your nervous system instead of against it.
On the show we invite Esin Pinarli a licensed therapist and expert in working with our nervous system to give us a masterclass on turning discomfort into growth.
Three Takeaways:
Your nervous system doesn’t want you to succeed—it wants you to survive.
Discomfort is a signal, not a stop sign.
You grow by expanding your window of tolerance, not by breaking through it.
Real personal growth doesn’t come from reading another book or “thinking positive.” It comes from your body. From doing the hard thing, just a little bit at a time. We talk about titration (small steps), edge surfing (riding discomfort), and how your brain actually rewires itself when you face fear—gracefully.
Turns out, the part of your brain responsible for willpower literally grows when you push yourself. This is about learning to stretch without snapping. To build a stronger relationship with yourself—one uncomfortable moment at a time.

The problem with being human is that we believe our version of truth is the truth.
Not because we’re bad—but because we’re wired that way.
This episode is a story of blindness. Not the kind you see—but the kind you don’t even know you have. You’re not as open-minded as you think.
That’s not an insult—it’s just how the brain works. We shortcut. We judge. We protect our ego like it’s a vintage vinyl.
In this episode, I dive into the strange ways our own minds trick us into thinking we're rational, original, and morally superior. I walk through how prejudice isn't just about race—it's about music, anger, taste, careers, and even your opinion of running. You’ll hear about blind spots in your day-to-day that quietly shape your reality, and how to start noticing them before they run the show.
Takeaways:
Why your opinions probably aren’t your own
Why improving your taste is more important than finding your passion
A simple trick to challenge your ego without bruising it
You can’t change the world if you can’t first question the lens you’re using to see it.
This episode won’t change your mind—you will.

Ever notice how you'll curse for days when stuck in traffic but never celebrate hitting all green lights? Your brain's flaw-detection software is working overtime.
In our quest for the ideal—the perfect relationship, the flawless investment, the dream career—we often miss the opportunity to appreciate what's already working. This isn't about lowering standards; it's about recognizing diminishing returns and the opportunity costs of perfectionism.
Gratitude research shows that people who accept small imperfections actually experience more satisfaction and happiness. It's not about settling—it's about optimizing for what truly matters and recognizing the diminishing returns of chasing perfection.
Identify what's truly non-negotiable versus what's just a small cost of admission
See where you get stuck in diminishing returns of perfectionism and break out of the cycle
Reframe "tolerating flaws" as "accepting the whole, complex reality" of what you value
Ready to stop obsessing over small flaws and start enjoying the ride? Your ticket to a more satisfying life is waiting.

The psychology of mental strength and how to achieve your goals.
The path to extraordinary achievement isn't paved with enjoyment. It's built on something far more powerful: alignment with our deepest values.
Sustainable motivation comes not from the pleasure of the journey but from how we connect our actions to what matters most to us. This isn't about willpower or discipline—it's about meaning-making.
When we frame our challenges within the context of our personal values, we transform mundane or difficult tasks into meaningful steps toward who we wish to become. The student studying for exams, the entrepreneur facing rejection, the artist pushing through creative blocks—all can tap into this deeper well of motivation by connecting present struggles to future purpose.
Topics:
The real source of mental strength
4 exercises to build the right type of motivation
How to live closer to your values
What if your next challenge became not a test of endurance but an expression of who you are becoming?

What if the key to unlocking your potential was already within you, nestled within the folds of your own mind?
Today we're diving into the science and psychology of hypnosis. It isn't about stage tricks or loss of control. It's about accessing a state of focused attention where the critical mind steps aside, allowing for profound change.
Not only do we learn about how the subconscious mind can be accessed but the techniques and ways that work, backed by science.
It's the difference between forcing yourself to diet and naturally craving healthier foods. Between lying awake, anxious, and drifting effortlessly into restorative sleep. It's not about what you do, but how you perceive. In this state, pain can become bearable, fears can dissolve, and long-held patterns can shift.
Understanding hypnosis is a reminder that our experience of reality is malleable, shaped by the lens through which we view it.

What if the path to a meaningful life isn't paved with comfort, but with deliberate discomfort?
In this episode, we explore the insidious nature of "flabbiness" - not just of body, but of mind and spirit. We'll uncover how our modern world lulls us into a state of complacent existence, and why the easy path often leads to the hardest life.
Through stories of transformation and philosophical insights, we'll challenge the notion that happiness comes from avoiding difficulty. Instead, we'll discover how embracing challenge and responsibility can lead to a life of purpose and fulfillment.
This isn't just about self-improvement; it's about redefining what it means to truly live in a world that often encourages us to merely exist:
Choose your hard: Decide which difficulties are worth embracing
Create your own resistance: Design challenges that grow you
Reframe comfort: See ease as a tool, not a destination
Are you ready to trade comfort for meaning? The choice is yours.

We're all blind to our own patterns. Even when we think we're self-aware, there's a whole universe of emotional blocks lurking beneath the surface.
Most of us walk around thinking we understand ourselves, but the reality is we're operating on autopilot. This episode features coach Tracy Litt, a performance coach who reveals how seemingly innocent behaviours can actually be fear mechanisms in disguise.
The conversation gets deeply personal as Sam confronts his own emotional avoidance, exploring why he distracts himself during vulnerable moments and can struggle to fully express emotions.
Tracy explains how our brains create clever diversions precisely when we need to feel something deeply, and offers practical ways to break through these invisible barriers.
Take homes:
Start a judgment journal to track how often you critically evaluate yourself and others
Practice intentional emotional release through techniques like guided screaming
Use fear as a GPS—when something scares you, it's probably pointing toward your growth
Ready to uncover what's really holding you back? Listen now and prepare for some uncomfortable but transformative insights.

Bruce Lee wasn't just a martial arts icon. He was a master of mental discipline, using six powerful habits that transformed his approach to life and success.
Bruce's journey reveals how deliberate practice shaped his legendary status. Instead of fearing failure, he embraced it as a teacher, carrying notebooks everywhere to capture insights that became contracts with himself.
His methods were surprisingly practical—reading voraciously across diverse subjects, daily goal recitation, and blending Eastern philosophy with Western training techniques. This episode explores how Lee's training wasn't based on natural talent but rather his "fanatical" dedication, adapting everything from weightlifting to fencing to create something entirely new.
"Absorb what is useful,
Discard what is not,
Add what is uniquely your own" - Bruce Lee
His willingness to challenge traditions while respecting foundations made him revolutionary in multiple domains.
Takeaways:
Start carrying a notebook to capture ideas and insights, reflecting on them regularly
Practice goal recitation daily to encode your ambitions into your subconscious
Read widely outside your expertise to create unique mental connections
Ready to transform your mindset? Press play to unlock Bruce Lee's blueprint for unstoppable growth.

What if the greatest barrier to your success isn't what you don't know, but what you think you know that simply isn't so?
This episode explores the subtle architecture of stupidity – not as a personal failing, but as a series of distinct patterns that emerge in all human thinking.
We'll journey through seven varieties, from the straightforward lack of cognitive ability to the more insidious systemic stupidity that quietly infects organizations and societies.
You'll discover how the most brilliant minds often fall prey to overthinking stupidity, rejecting elegant solutions in favor of complex ones.
We'll examine how groups collectively generate stupidity that no individual would create alone, and how our identities and egos become entangled with ideas, making us defend positions that no longer serve us or reflect reality.
Learnings:
Build decision-making systems that protect against collective cognitive blindspots
Identify which stupidity patterns you are prone to.
Develop your intellectual honesty muscle using "What would convince me I'm wrong?"
Join us in reimagining how we think about thinking – because understanding stupidity might be the most intelligent thing we can do.

What if the path to happiness isn't where all the spotlights are shining? While most seek contentment in the thin slice of "now," true fulfilment lives in a paradox.
We're stuck in what I call "now-ish" thinking—that anxiety-producing zone of yesterday's failures and tomorrow's deadlines. We're taught to live in the moment, yet rarely consider where our moments are leading us.
True happiness requires an honest look at your 30-year trajectory. Are you building skills you want to master for decades? Hanging with friends who'll still challenge you in 2055? The work that drains you today will absolutely crush your soul twenty years from now. But immediate happiness isn't found in some mystical future achievement either.
Small daily habits can make a big difference to the quality of our days from opening up deeper conversations to knocking on the door of our limits.
Practical lessons this episode:
Stop obsessing over now-ish problems and pay attention to what really matters
The way to keep potential alive
Choose one focus each day rather than drowning in endless possibilities

The mind does a lot of things we are never aware of.
You don't think about how you move or digest, your mind just does it in the background, You also can't witness all the self-sabotaging doors your mind keeps you locked up in.
We all have our own battles that limit us. Maybe how we think about money, or relationships or our own value. Maybe we get nervous about situations and it's our nerves that actually cause the problem we are afraid of.
Today guest Jeff Bauhner shares a radical idea for how to communicate with your subconscious processes and get them working in your favour.
How can we talk to our subconscious?
What should we change?
Why do we keep overlooking our real problems?
Jeff has a very relatable story that leads him to his work and shares some fun and potentially radical ideas.
As a scientist myself I was skeptical about some of his proposals. I was equally excited about how he came to some similar conclusions I do recommend myself but with a very different pathway.

We all know smart people make dumb decisions. But why?
Why do gamblers double down when they should walk away?
Why do we check our phones 58 times a day?
Why do people micromanage their partners and get confused when they become distant?
We are all suckers for the illusion of control.
We are convinced that our meddling is needed to achieve our desired outcome. Sadly this misses the important fact that we are causing all our problems.
The episode covers all sorts of personal problems from addictions to relationships, investing to anger and how control is at the heart of our problems.
Whether you are high on neuroticism or curious about how the mind works we have a tonne of good stuff:
Recognize your "control triggers" – situations where your grip tightens and makes things worse
Practice intentional surrendering in low-stakes situations to build your letting-go muscles
Replace control with curiosity by asking "What happens if I don't try to fix this?"
Learn to stop wrestling with life and start dancing with it.

What if misery wasn’t something that happened to you—but something you unknowingly created?
We all have habits that screw us over—whether it’s blaming others, scrolling mindlessly on Instagram, or convincing ourselves that “next week” is when we’ll finally start living.
In this episode, I’m calling out the seven most toxic habits that keep people stuck in their own misery - they're probably (some) things you’re doing right now.
I’ll break down why these habits exist, how society reinforces them, and what you can do to stop being your own worst enemy.
Takeaways:
Why waiting for “perfect” is the ultimate excuse for staying stuck.
How playing the victim robs you of your power (and your future).
The brutal truth about self-care—and why it’s not what you think.
Ready to ditch the habits holding you back? Dig in =)

Ever feel like life’s pulling you in a direction you didn’t choose? Like you’re paddling against a current, but the harder you try, the further you drift?
From social media algorithms to career paths, we’re all caught in currents we barely notice. They can sweep us toward growth or drag us into chaos.
Whether it’s influencers chasing clicks or careers locking us into identities we never wanted, these currents are everywhere. But here’s the good news: just like in the ocean, you can learn to spot them and decide which ones to ride.
By the end of this episode, you’ll have the tools to navigate life’s most powerful force—momentum—and steer toward a future you actually want.
Takeaways:
How small decisions snowball into massive consequences (good or bad).
Why blaming “the system” won’t save you—and what will?
How to identify the “currents” shaping your decisions and behaviours.
Once you see these currents, you’ll never look at your life the same way again.
