Luke Burgis: Mimetic Desire, Fulfillment, and the Hidden Forces That Shape What We Want

Tue, 03 Mar 2026 13:00:00 GMT

Author and entrepreneur Luke Burgis joins us to explore the invisible architecture of human desire — and how understanding it can radically change our choices, ambitions, and sense of self. Drawing on his book *Wanting* and the mimetic theory of René Girard, Burgis unpacks how most of what we "want" is shaped not by independent reasoning, but by models — people we unconsciously imitate.From adolescent identity formation to startup culture, self-improvement traps, and curated social media personas, Burgis reveals how easily our values can be hijacked. He discusses the destructive loop of rivalrous desire, the myth of the autonomous goal-setter, and how most of us never pause to ask *why* we want what we want. The conversation also dives into the difference between thin vs. thick desires, how to build a life rooted in fulfillment rather than status, and the importance of discovering what only *you* can do. For anyone seeking clarity in a noisy, comparison-driven world, this episode is a wake-up call — and a blueprint for reclaiming your inner compass.

Laura Owens: Surviving Domestic Violence, Reclaiming Self-Worth, and Letting the Past Inform Without Defining

Mon, 02 Mar 2026 13:00:00 GMT

Laura Owens, broadcaster and domestic violence survivor, shares her journey from an abusive relationship to reclaiming her voice and sense of self. Growing up in a family dedicated to broadcasting and storytelling, she learned the power of narrative—but nothing prepared her for how deeply trauma would challenge her ability to trust and be vulnerable. Laura explains why going to the police felt like a betrayal that led nowhere, why victims face a coat of shame they shouldn't have to wear, and how emotional abuse can be more damaging than physical violence. She explores the difference between letting your past inform your future versus letting it define you, why self-worth recovery is a daily struggle, and how gratitude journaling and surrounding yourself with trustworthy people become part of healing. This conversation challenges the victim-blaming question of why didn't she leave and reframes survival as strength, not weakness.

Kate Peterson: Redefining Success and What It Means to Live a Good Life

Thu, 26 Feb 2026 13:00:00 GMT

Kate Peterson, artist and author, shares her journey from chasing Instagram validation to defining success on her own terms. After spending 10 months in Greece, she realized that achievement itself was hollow—what mattered was building a life where small joys like pastries and coffee became the reward, not just checkpoints on a path to something else. Peterson explores how growing up across cultures shaped her identity, why social media creates superficial positive reinforcement loops, and how artists must navigate the spectrum between creating what they want and creating what pays. The conversation challenges Western individualism, explores Greek concepts of joy and togetherness, and questions whether the pursuit of an extraordinary life undermines the value of a perfectly good ordinary one. This is about defining the good life for yourself, not inheriting someone else's blueprint.

Kamal Ravikant: Rewiring Your Mind Through the Practice of Self-Love

Wed, 25 Feb 2026 13:00:00 GMT

Kamal Ravikant, author of "Love Yourself Like Your Life Depends On It," breaks down the neuroscience and daily practice of self-love as a transformative mental discipline. Drawing from his own journey through depression, Kamal explains how thoughts are just old mental loops running on autopilot, how we can consciously rewrite painful memories by changing their emotional charge, and why self-forgiveness is the necessary first step before transformation. He introduces the practice of layering one primal mental loop—I love myself—until it runs automatically and becomes the foundation from which your thoughts, feelings, and life arise. This conversation explores the malleability of memory, why the mind needs constant training like the body, and how seven minutes a day of internal work can compound into lasting change from the inside out.

Justin Connor: The Lungs Hold Grief and Why Workaholism Is Both Saving Grace and Achilles Heel for Filmmakers

Tue, 24 Feb 2026 13:00:00 GMT

Justin Connor, filmmaker and musician behind The Golden Age, shares how his saxophonist father and jazz-loving parents never encouraged music yet inadvertently programmed workaholism into his DNA—a double-edged sword that became both his greatest asset for wearing multiple hats on independent films and his potential downfall requiring hard drive reformatting of his life. Connor reveals how cigarette addiction reflected grief stored in the lungs, how psychedelics and ayahuasca offered exploration without true addiction, and why workaholism proved more dangerous than any substance by fueling perfectionism, obsessive careerism, and control. Drawing from his upbringing witnessing family dynamics, he explains how directing became about trusting himself as an adult after childhood wounds, why he interned for Eric Holder before a double feature of Shawshank Redemption and Pulp Fiction redirected him to Hollywood, and how creating The Golden Age with superhuman strength felt like lancing a boil that needed purging—a film he could never remake even with 10 million dollars.

Jim Kwik: Unlocking Limitless Learning and Why Your Brain is Not Fixed

Fri, 20 Feb 2026 13:00:00 GMT

Jim Kwik, brain performance expert and author of Limitless, reveals how a childhood brain injury transformed him from the kid with the broken brain into one of the world leading authorities on accelerated learning and memory. Drawing from his immigrant parents sacrifices and his own journey through learning disabilities, Jim breaks down the three forces that limit us mindset, motivation, and methods. He explains why risk-taking capacity gets drilled out of us with age, how reframing victimhood into gifts unlocked his superpower, and why comparison through social media creates digital depression. This conversation explores neuroplasticity, energy management, and how to align daily actions with core values to escape the box of limiting beliefs.

Vanessa Van Edwards: From Student Council Nerd to Decoding Human Behavior

Thu, 19 Feb 2026 13:00:00 GMT

Vanessa Van Edwards, behavioral researcher and author, traces her expertise in human behavior back to being a highly neurotic student council nerd with few friends in high school. That discomfort zone became her comfort zone—teaching, conferences, and analyzing how people communicate. Van Edwards breaks down nonverbal communication patterns, micro-expressions, charisma signals, and what research reveals about likability versus respect. She explains how to read rooms, why authenticity beats performance in social settings, and the science behind first impressions. Her work transforms awkward interactions into learnable skills by treating social dynamics as data rather than mystery.

Tiago Forte: Building a Second Brain After Five Schools Taught Him to Be a Chameleon

Wed, 18 Feb 2026 13:00:00 GMT

Tiago Forte, creator of the Second Brain methodology, shares how attending five different schools in five consecutive years obliterated his social circles and forced him to become a chameleon—crossing between student government, cross country, French club, and chess nerds. This adaptability became the foundation for his work on knowledge management and building systems that work across contexts. Forte explains the CODE method for organizing information, why traditional note-taking fails, how to capture and connect ideas across projects, and why your brain is for having ideas, not storing them. His system helps knowledge workers think better by externalizing memory into a trusted digital system.

Susan Magsamen: Your Brain on Art and the Neuroscience of Creativity

Tue, 17 Feb 2026 13:00:00 GMT

Susan Magsamen, author of Your Brain on Art, explores creativity through neuroscience rather than philosophy or technique. Born to working-class parents who never attended college—her father worked his way up from nurseries to insurance executive—Magsamen learned management and relentless work ethic early. She explains how art and creative engagement physically change brain structure, why aesthetic experiences matter for wellbeing beyond productivity, and what neuroscience reveals about how humans process creative work. Her research-backed approach bridges the gap between artistic practice and biological reality, showing that creativity isn't mystical—it's measurable, trainable, and essential for cognitive health.

Robin Dellabough: From Supporting Others' Creativity to Claiming Your Own

Thu, 12 Feb 2026 13:00:00 GMT

Robin Dellabough, writer and editor, shares her unconventional journey from growing up in a bohemian Greenwich Village household to spending decades supporting other people's creativity. Raised by beatnik parents who gave her the confidence to try anything, she hitchhiked Europe at 17, lived in a Hawaiian treehouse, worked as a theater stage manager, and ghostwrote books—all while her own creative voice remained underground. Dellabough explains the pattern of talented people who facilitate others' success while neglecting their own work, how she eventually claimed her creative life through poetry and writing, and why direct feedback without sugarcoating serves creative growth better than false encouragement.

Rob Bloom: How Stuttering Forced Creative Problem-Solving and Authenticity

Wed, 11 Feb 2026 13:00:00 GMT

Rob Bloom, creative director for Universal theme parks, shares his journey living with a stutter that shaped his entire life and career. He reveals how hiding his stutter for 30 years meant ordering food he didn't want, watching movies he didn't choose, and avoiding authentic self-expression. Paradoxically, stuttering forced him to become creative early—making videos for school presentations instead of speaking. Bloom explains the three coping strategies for stutterers (openly stuttering, blocking, or hiding), why hiding leads to inauthenticity, and how he eventually embraced his stutter. His story demonstrates how perceived limitations can become creative advantages and why vulnerability is essential for genuine connection.

Rich Karlgaard: Why Late Bloomers Win in a Culture Obsessed with Early Achievement

Tue, 10 Feb 2026 13:00:00 GMT

Rich Karlgaard, author of Late Bloomers, dismantles the toxic narrative that success must come early. Drawing from his father's reinvention in his 30s and his own struggles after college, he explains why our obsession with early achievement is detrimental to people who develop at different paces. Karlgaard analyzes the college admissions scandal as a symptom of parental pressure, explores how comparison culture on platforms like Medium fuels inadequacy, and offers a research-backed case for why patience and diverse developmental timelines produce more fulfilled, successful individuals. He argues that being fired, struggling, and blooming late often leads to greater work than following the traditional fast-track path.

Mon, 09 Feb 2026 13:00:00 GMT

Rebecca Beltran shares her unconventional journey from polyamory to becoming a courtesan, challenging cultural stigma around sex work and intimacy. She reveals that her work is primarily about connection and being truly seen—not just physical encounters. Rebecca explains how religious Puritanism shapes American attitudes toward sexuality, why younger men in their 20s and 30s are now seeking her services post-Me Too movement, and how open communication about desire can shift sex from something dangerous to something empowering. She also discusses navigating relationships with partners outside her work and why pleasure rooted in fulfillment matters more than hedonistic thrills.

Jenny Blake: Free Time, Time-to-Revenue Ratios, and Rejecting the "Time Is Money" Myth

Fri, 06 Feb 2026 13:00:00 GMT

Jenny Blake, author of "Free Time," reveals how her father—an architect who gives ruthless editorial feedback with his "WKIYB" abbreviation (we know it’s your book)—taught her to eliminate unnecessary qualifiers and strengthen her writing. Drawing from her experience creating a paid family newsletter at age 11 with 50 subscribers, Blake has always been entrepreneurial, guided by her mother’s lesson: "you should always know how to support yourself." As the breadwinner in her marriage who rejects traditional domestic roles, Blake challenges societal pressures on both men and women around earning and gender expectations. She introduces the "time-to-revenue ratio"—a missing P&L metric that measures how much time it takes to generate revenue—arguing that revenue, ease, and joy aren’t mutually exclusive. Blake dismantles Benjamin Franklin’s "time is money" myth, explaining that business owners aren’t rewarded for butt-in-seat time and that working less actually requires more sophistication through systems, automation, and delegation. Her three-part framework—align, design, assign—helps entrepreneurs optimize what’s now, not just navigate what’s next.

Marc Elliott: How Media Narratives Shape Truth and the Untold Side of NXIVM

Thu, 05 Feb 2026 13:00:00 GMT

Marc Elliott shares his controversial perspective on NXIVM, arguing that media narratives have distorted the truth about Keith Raniere and the organization. Living with severe Tourette syndrome for 20 years, Elliott found relief through NXIVM techniques when traditional medical approaches failed. He challenges the dominant narrative by examining inconsistencies in accusers stories, questioning the lack of due process in the trial, and arguing that salacious headlines and the MeToo movement created a climate where critical questioning was discouraged. Elliott explains how easy it is to be a victim in modern culture, the importance of evaluating evidence rather than emotions, and why he believes that prejudicial tactics corrupted the judicial process. This conversation explores media manipulation, the ethics of narrative control, and the uncomfortable space between believing victims and demanding evidence.

Luvvie Ajayi Jones: Professional Troublemaking and the Power of Making Good Trouble

Mon, 02 Feb 2026 13:00:00 GMT

Luvvie Ajayi Jones challenges the cultural expectation that harmony is more important than justice. As a professional troublemaker, she argues that speaking up in rooms where bad ideas or unjust systems persist is not just necessary—it is our responsibility. Drawing from her Nigerian heritage and her grandmother's fearless example, Luvvie explores how we've been conditioned to shrink ourselves, hide our superpowers, and accept being called "too much" instead of claiming our full selves. She breaks down why we fear asking for what we want, why boundaries are gifts rather than selfishness, and how imposter syndrome can actually drive us to do better work. Her framework for professional troublemaking reframes discomfort as worthwhile when it serves a larger cause.

Oliver Burkeman: Why Positive Thinking Fails and the Paradox of Pursuing Happiness

Mon, 05 Jan 2026 13:00:00 GMT

Oliver Burkeman, author of "The Antidote: Happiness for People Who Can't Stand Positive Thinking," dismantles the self-help industry's obsession with optimism and goal-setting. Raised as a Quaker with pro-social parents, Burkeman explores why chasing happiness often makes us miserable, how negative visualization (imagining worst-case scenarios) builds resilience, and why acceptance of uncertainty is more valuable than relentless positivity. He explains that we already know the five or six things required for a meaningful life—good relationships, sleep, nature, exercise—but consuming more books and courses becomes procrastination disguised as progress. The conversation tackles spiritual bypassing, why new information rarely solves our problems, and how shifting perspective at an emotional level matters more than intellectual understanding. This is a contrarian, practical take on self-improvement that challenges the tyranny of positive thinking.

Justin McRoberts: Mortality, Meaning, and Giving Away Everything You've Got

Mon, 22 Dec 2025 13:00:00 GMT

Justin McRoberts, musician, pastor, and author of "It's What You Make of It," shares how confronting death early in life shaped his approach to creativity and faith. Having attended over 20 funerals by age 25, McRoberts explains why understanding mortality is essential to living fully and why the cultural narrative of imperviousness keeps people from taking creative risks. He explores how opportunities—not rigid plans—defined his multi-hyphenate career, why narrative holds human lives together, and how we're taught that art is something you earn after being responsible to the system. McRoberts makes the case for flipping that script: using your gifts now, taking financial and social risks, and approaching life as something to give away rather than protect. This is a conversation about death, creativity, faith without absolutes, and why your life should be a gift.

Jeff Wald: Navigating the Fourth Industrial Revolution and Why Personal Responsibility Defines the Future of Work

Tue, 09 Dec 2025 13:00:00 GMT

Jeff Wald, author of The End of Jobs and CEO of WorkMarket, examines how robots and AI are creating the fourth industrial revolution—a massive power shift from workers to companies that mirrors past technological upheavals. Drawing from labor history, on-demand platforms, and regulatory battles like California Prop 22, Wald reveals why the lifetime employment contract was always a myth with average job tenure at 5 years in 1960 and 4.2 years today. He introduces the hard tech vs. hard human framework: thriving in automation requires either technical skills like software, AI, and data or human skills that machines cannot replicate such as creativity, empathy, and sales. Wald unpacks how income inequality, personal responsibility, and opportunity gaps threaten societal stability, why unions must reinvent themselves through movements like Fight for 15, and how lifelong learning became non-negotiable when skills now decay within 4-6 years instead of lasting a 30-year career.

Jason Naylor: The Psychology of Color and Why Bright Hues Unlock Positivity, Memory, and Human Connection

Fri, 05 Dec 2025 13:00:00 GMT

Jason Naylor, artist and author of Live Life Colorfully, shares how growing up as the second of seven children in a Mormon family in Salt Lake City shaped his caretaker personality and his eventual escape to New York where he discovered creative liberation. Naylor reveals the symbiotic relationship between color and messaging in his work—the more positive and uplifting his messages became, the more color naturally emerged because he couldn't visualize kindness without bright hues. Drawing from color theory and neuroscience, he explains how yellow triggers hunger, why fast food brands use red and yellow strategically, how bright saturated colors ignite short-term memory while muted colors remain in long-term memory, and why a woman in a red dress commands attention not just culturally but neurologically. Naylor explores how color impacts space design, fashion choices, and personal presence, arguing that the right color is not about inherent qualities but about how confidently you wear it and how it makes you feel.

Jacob Sager Weinstein: The Memory Palace Method and Why You Cannot Synthesize What You Do Not Remember

Thu, 04 Dec 2025 13:00:00 GMT

Jacob Sager Weinstein, comedy writer for Dennis Miller and author of How to Remember Everything, shares how growing up in privileged Washington DC where the vice president's daughter was in his debate club gave him confidence to walk into any room but delayed his understanding that not everyone has equal access to opportunity until he reached Princeton. Weinstein reveals how writing for Dennis Miller taught him to find the Venn diagram between his voice and another's—a skill that translated perfectly to children's books where kids have the same BS detector for mechanical writing. He makes the case for memory in an information-saturated world: you cannot synthesize facts Google knows, only facts you know, which is why students must memorize foundational knowledge before creating something new. Weinstein introduces the memory palace method for turning hard-to-remember abstract information into easy-to-remember visual locations and explains the curve of forgetting where 75 percent of information vanishes within 24 hours unless you use spaced repetition to stretch retention from days to weeks to permanent memory.

Hillary Weiss: The Danger of Just Mindset and Why Imitation Is a Trap for Finding Your Golden Thread

Wed, 03 Dec 2025 13:00:00 GMT

Hillary Weiss, brand strategist and positioning coach, reflects on growing up in suburban South Florida where attending the same school for 14 years meant everyone remembered who peed their pants in pre-K yet created lifelong friendships that watched her evolve from emo to punk rock to professional white woman. Weiss challenges the dangerous mindset mantra in entrepreneurship, arguing that privilege and circumstance—like having a home to return to if everything went belly up—allow some people to take risks that others cannot afford. She introduces the elevator framework: going one floor down beneath surface-level statements like I help clients find their voice to uncover the golden thread that makes someone exceptional. Weiss explains why imitation is a reasonable starting point but becomes a trap when entrepreneurs copy successful people's maps without understanding why they do things a certain way, resulting in indistinguishable businesses wearing outfits not made for them. She warns against the Protestant work ethic that led her to six figures by 25 but also total burnout from working seven days a week.

Gautum Mukunda: The Paradox of Leader Selection and Why Unfiltered Presidents Are a Dangerous Gamble

Thu, 27 Nov 2025 13:00:00 GMT

Gautum Mukunda, Harvard professor and author of Indispensable: When Leaders Really Matter, reveals the paradox at the heart of leadership selection: the more effort you put into picking a leader, the less it matters who you pick. Drawing from decades of presidential history, Mukunda introduces the concept of filtered versus unfiltered leaders—George H.W. Bush represents the filtered ideal with 44 years in government before becoming president, while Barack Obama exemplifies the unfiltered wildcard with only three years in the Senate. Filtered leaders are predictably competent; unfiltered leaders are remarkable for better or worse, usually worse, because there are far more ways to fail than succeed. Mukunda argues that America picks unfiltered presidents half the time, more than any other major democracy, which explains both George Washington, Abraham Lincoln, and Franklin Roosevelt at moments of crisis and spectacular failures in between. He warns that winning Russian roulette doesn't mean you should keep playing and explores why Indian American identity, immigrant narratives, and cultural preservation matter in an era when the president said his community's success damages America.

Cal Newport: Why Social Media Is Big Tobacco Not Big Oil and the Steam Whistle Theory of Attention

Tue, 25 Nov 2025 13:00:00 GMT

Cal Newport, computer science professor and author of Digital Minimalism, argues that the better analogy for social media is not big oil that must be broken up because it's vital to society but big tobacco that must be culturally rejected because it's unhealthy and dispensable—people don't care if you tell them to leave Facebook for six months but petroleum deprivation changes lives. Newport reveals Facebook's PR pivot after 2016 when defectors like Sean Parker exposed addiction engineering: Cambridge Analytica let Facebook redirect media attention to fixable privacy and content moderation issues instead of unfixable business-model problems like bleeding users' attention through steam whistle tweets. Drawing from Mark Harmon quitting Twitter and Neil Stephenson's famous essay Why I Am a Bad Correspondent, Newport explains the novelist's dilemma: each tweet is a steam whistle that bleeds energy needed to fuel the boiler for producing lasting work. He dismantles the myth that creators need social media to grow, arguing that people talking about your work on their channels matters infinitely more than you promoting yourself on yours.

Cal Newport: Cognitive Athleticism and Why Elite Performers Protect Their Attention

Mon, 24 Nov 2025 13:00:00 GMT

Computer science professor and bestselling author Cal Newport explains why cognitive fitness matters as much as physical fitness for elite performance. Drawing from his work with NBA teams and hedge fund managers, Newport breaks down the connection between attention control and exceptional achievement. He challenges the myth that social media grows your audience, revealing that craft—not constant self-promotion—drives lasting success. The conversation explores why our social brain can't process text-based connection, the engineering behind platform addiction, and how working backwards from deeply held values creates lasting behavioral change. Newport introduces the concept of "analog social media," explains why privacy debates distract from the real harm of digital overuse, and shares why protecting your cognitive resources from being bled out "one steam whistle tweet at a time" is essential for producing meaningful work.

Brea Starmer: Redefining Work Around Highest and Best Use, Not Hours Logged

Thu, 20 Nov 2025 13:00:00 GMT

Brea Starmer, founder of Lions and Tigers, challenges the outdated workplace model that measures face time over impact. Drawing from her experience as a mother of three running a company during COVID-19, she introduces the concept of "highest and best use"—a real estate framework adapted to human potential that prioritizes outcomes over hours logged. Starmer reveals why 11.5 million workers quit their jobs between April and June 2021 alone, with burnout as the number one driver and women of color disproportionately affected. She unpacks how traditional workplace structures fail parents, especially mothers, who navigate staccato schedules dictated by sick kids, COVID testing, and survival-mode 15-minute work chunks. Through Lions and Tigers' model of flexibility, inclusive culture, and organizational clarity, Starmer demonstrates why companies that center their people's actual needs achieve better collective results—and why the eight-hour workday built for a different era must be dismantled.

Donny Jackson, poet and psychologist, reflects on growing up as a working-class black kid in Pittsburgh where his father was a postal worker for 35 years and his mother was a nurse's aide—parents who instilled work ethic, integrity, and honor while navigating a world not built for young black children. Jackson traces the roots of American racism to the legacy of slavery where black people started as chattel on unequal footing and never shed that history, creating an internalized stain on both sides of the racial fence. He explains how separate but equal was never true, how tribalism prevents empathy development because it is much harder to oppress someone whose feelings you have taken into account, and why redlining and subtle discrimination in apartment rentals remain part of the disease of living a racialized life. Drawing from Isabel Wilkerson's research, Jackson highlights how FDR-era policies designed to improve American life excluded black people, creating structural racism that takes a toll. He warns that 70 million Trump voters represent at least 70 million reasons to remain fearful even after Biden's election.

Bjorn Ryan-Gorman: Coming Out as Gay in the Snowboarding World and Reclaiming Masculinity on Your Own Terms

Fri, 14 Nov 2025 13:00:00 GMT

Bjorn Ryan-Gorman, professional snowskater and LGBTQ+ advocate, shares his journey from hiding his sexuality behind aggressive board sports to building a life of authenticity in Portland. Growing up in Montana as a sponsored snow athlete, Ryan-Gorman used snowboarding and skateboarding as outlets for self-hatred and denial, pushing himself to dangerous extremes before hearing a podcast that changed everything. He reveals the complex reactions from family—his mom's unexpected resistance, his dad's surprising embrace, and grandparents who rejected him entirely. Ryan-Gorman explores masculine drag within the bear community, the importance of diverse LGBTQ+ representation beyond stereotypes, and the persistent question that haunts him in rural spaces: Am I safe here? This conversation challenges assumptions about what gay men look like, explores how coming out should be celebrated but not sensationalized, and offers insight into the ongoing struggle of navigating safety, identity, and belonging in America.

David Epstein: Why Generalists Triumph in a Specialized World

Thu, 13 Nov 2025 13:00:00 GMT

David Epstein, author of Range: Why Generalists Triumph in a Specialized World, dismantles the myth that early specialization is the only path to excellence. Drawing from research on elite athletes, musicians, and scientists, David reveals how individual variability in learning means there is no one-size-fits-all approach to skill development. He reframes the Tiger Woods and Mozart narratives, showing how their success came from internal drive, not just parental pressure. From his own journey—leaving Sports Illustrated to investigate drug cartels—David demonstrates why sampling periods, lateral thinking, and diverse experiences create more adaptable, innovative problem-solvers than narrow expertise alone.

Ayelet Fishbach: The Science of Motivation, Why Fantasies Fail, and Balancing Abstract Goals with Concrete Plans

Wed, 12 Nov 2025 13:00:00 GMT

Ayelet Fishbach, motivation researcher at University of Chicago, dismantles the fantasy-driven approach to New Year's resolutions and goal-setting. Drawing from data spanning multiple years, she reveals that while temporal landmarks like New Year work for initiating goals, only 20% of people still pursue them by November—the difference comes down to whether you're fantasizing or planning. Fishbach explains how fantasies (envisioning yourself already achieving the goal) actually decrease motivation to send job applications or take action, whereas concrete plans ("I will call my connections, work on my resume, here are the steps") drive execution. She introduces the critical balance between "why" questions (abstract purpose that prevents you from giving up) and "how" questions (concrete steps that enable execution), warning that goals become too abstract when they reach "I want to be happy" and too concrete when you lose sight of why you're doing them. The conversation explores Michael Phelps' visualization strategy (preparing for goggles filling with water, not just winning gold) and why optimism without planning is just delusional fantasy masquerading as motivation.

Daniel Stillman: The Architecture of Conversations and Why Every Interface Shapes What We Say

Wed, 12 Nov 2025 13:00:00 GMT

Daniel Stillman, author of Good Talk: How to Design Conversations That Matter, reveals how conversations are designed—whether we realize it or not. Drawing from his background in design thinking and facilitation, Daniel breaks down the components of conversational architecture: openings, turns, power dynamics, and interfaces. He explains why physical and digital spaces fundamentally alter what conversations are possible, how to slow down heated exchanges through pacing and tone, and why the most important conversations we design might be the ones we have with ourselves. From boardrooms to Zoom rooms, Daniel shows how small changes to conversational structure can unlock radically different outcomes.

Dandapani: Mastering Your Mind as an Operating System, Sexual Energy Transmutation, and the Monastic Path to Unwavering Focus

Tue, 11 Nov 2025 13:00:00 GMT

Dandapani, former Hindu monk who lived monastically for 10 years, shares teachings from his guru on treating the mind as an operating system that must be understood before it can be mastered. He explains the critical distinction between a focused life (giving undivided attention to whoever/whatever you're engaged with) and a purpose-focused life (where your life's purpose defines priorities that drive what you focus on). Drawing from Napoleon Hill and his guru's book *Merging with Siva*, Dandapani unpacks sexual energy transmutation—asking: if one sperm created a person who could change the world, what could a million create if that energy were harnessed instead of wasted? He reveals monastic teachings rarely shared: how to sleep, wake, eat, breathe, sit, and shower to put energy back into your body. Dandapani argues that without understanding how your mind works, you can't focus long enough on yourself to achieve self-reflection and discover what you truly want—making intentionality impossible before mastering the fundamental operating system we all carry but were never taught to use.

Cal Newport: Slow Productivity, Escaping Pseudo Productivity, and the Three Principles for Sustainable Knowledge Work

Fri, 07 Nov 2025 20:24:05 GMT

Cal Newport unpacks his framework for Slow Productivity, built on three core principles: doing fewer things, working at a natural pace, and obsessing over quality. He introduces "pseudo productivity"—the toxic heuristic that emerged in mid-20th century knowledge work when visible activity became a proxy for useful effort because traditional productivity metrics (Model Ts per hour, bushels per acre) no longer applied. Newport argues that pseudo productivity was tolerable until the digital office revolution—email, Slack, mobile computing—enabled visible activity to be demonstrated at incredibly high frequency, anywhere, anytime, creating a performance theater that drains actual productive capacity. The conversation explores how to build custom AI systems for daily planning (using GPT models trained on transcripts and book notes), the three levels of working with large language models (training from scratch, fine-tuning, and software intermediaries), and why specialized vertical AI will dominate the next wave of innovation. Newport makes the case for abandoning industrial-era proxies and reclaiming knowledge work as a craft that requires depth, patience, and quality over constant performative busyness.

Alan Stein Jr: The Performance Gap Between Knowing and Doing, and What Elite Athletes Teach Us About Execution

Fri, 07 Nov 2025 20:22:55 GMT

Alan Stein Jr, former basketball performance coach to Kevin Durant, Kobe Bryant, and other NBA superstars, reveals why knowledge without execution is worthless and how the world's highest performers bridge the gap between knowing what to do and actually doing it. Drawing from decades working with elite athletes, Stein explains that performance gaps exist in every area of life—we all know we should eat healthier, sleep more, and exercise consistently, but implementation separates good from great. Through stories of Kevin Durant's transformation from a frail 15-year-old with pristine fundamentals to NBA superstar, Stein unpacks the perfect storm required for elite success: physical predisposition combined with high IQ, work ethic, coachability, resiliency, and love of competition. He introduces self-awareness as the foundational requirement for growth—defining it as alignment between how you see yourself and how the world sees you. From his divorce-driven awakening to parenting twin sons with unconditional love while demanding effort and coachability, Stein demonstrates how principles from basketball translate directly to business, parenting, and personal development through focus on process over outcomes.

Andrew Yang: Universal Basic Income and the Automation Crisis Remaking America

Thu, 06 Nov 2025 13:00:00 GMT

Andrew Yang traces his path from failed entrepreneur to 2020 presidential candidate driven by a single realization: automation has already destroyed millions of American jobs, and the next wave will be exponentially worse. Through his work with Venture for America, he witnessed firsthand the economic devastation in Detroit, Ohio, and the Midwest—where automated manufacturing jobs created the conditions that elected Donald Trump. Yang argues that artificial intelligence will soon eliminate truck driving, retail, call centers, and even white-collar professions like law and accounting. His solution is Universal Basic Income—a $1,000 monthly Freedom Dividend for every American adult, funded by a Value Added Tax on tech companies. He dismantles objections about affordability and work ethic, revealing how the policy would grow GDP by $2.5 trillion, create 4.5 million jobs, and transform America into a human-centered economy before technological displacement pushes society off a cliff.

Christy Tennery-Spalding: Building Political Homes and Redefining Self-Care Beyond Capitalism

Thu, 06 Nov 2025 13:00:00 GMT

Christy Tennery-Spalding, activist and organizer, shares how growing up near Washington D.C. shaped her oppositional stance to power structures and led her to find a “political home” in San Francisco’s activist community. She introduces the concept of informed consent in organizing—ensuring participants feel safe, informed, and empowered rather than treated as bodies in the street. Tennery-Spalding challenges the wellness industrial complex’s version of self-care, revealing how she fell into the trap of “capitalist self-care”—overloading herself with yoga classes, meditation, and clean eating until she burned out from her own self-care routine. Drawing from her experience with severe scoliosis, depression, and PTSD, she advocates for anti-capitalist self-care that questions productivity culture and challenges the belief that our worth is tied to usefulness. She explores how childhood conditioning around pleasing others, performing, and being palatable shapes our relationship with rest, and why sometimes the most radical act of self-care is simply lying down and being intentionally “not useful.”

Wed, 05 Nov 2025 13:00:00 GMT

Former CIA field operative Andrew Bustamante pulls back the curtain on what it really takes to recruit spies, run intelligence operations, and navigate a life built on secrecy, loyalty, and manipulation. In this riveting and wide-ranging conversation, Bustamante shares stories from his military training at the Air Force Academy, his time at “The Farm” — the CIA’s elite training facility — and his years of fieldwork turning foreign agents into assets.He explains how spycraft isn't about glamour or violence — it's about reading people, controlling trust, and gaining influence through empathy and psychological leverage.

Carlos Adell: From Drug Dealer to Industrial Engineer to Finding True Success Through Strategic Environment Design

Tue, 04 Nov 2025 13:00:00 GMT

Carlos Adell shares his unconventional path from growing up in a small Spanish town with limited resources to running a six-figure drug dealing business while simultaneously working as a DJ and industrial engineer. After nearly dying from a heart attack at 29 while working in corporate, Adell discovered that he had been living other people’s dreams—adopting identities shaped by whoever surrounded him. He reveals the powerful principle that drove both his descent and his redemption: you become who you surround yourself with. Whether it was “bad boys” leading him into crime or successful entrepreneurs inspiring his transformation, Adell learned to reverse-engineer his environment deliberately. Moving to Australia without speaking English, he rebuilt himself from scratch, applying lessons from drug dealing (understanding markets and people) and engineering (systems thinking) to create a life designed for fulfillment rather than external validation.

David Brooks: Seeing People Deeply in a World of Shallow Interactions

Tue, 21 Oct 2025 17:13:28 GMT

Damon Centola: Why Change Spreads from the Edges—Not the Influencers

Mon, 20 Oct 2025 13:00:00 GMT

Damon Centola, sociologist and author of *Change: How to Make Big Things Happen*, dismantles the myth of the influencer and introduces a radically different model of how ideas and behaviors actually spread. In this thought-provoking conversation, Centola explains why change doesn’t come from social media stars with massive followings—but from dense clusters in the network periphery. He explores how weak ties, wide bridges, and network dynamics shape everything from viral movements like Black Lives Matter to behavioral shifts like installing solar panels or quitting smoking. Drawing from decades of experimental research, Centola reveals that most people misjudge what causes change—believing it’s money, recognition, or messaging—when it’s actually subtle cues from peers. He shares how “complex contagions” require reinforcement from trusted networks, not mass exposure, and why virality alone fails to produce lasting impact. Whether you're a founder, activist, or creator, this episode will challenge how you think about social influence, innovation, and what truly drives societal tipping points.

Drawing from Niklas Luhmann’s Zettelkasten method, Ahrens explains why insight isn’t something you plan for, but something you engineer into existence by connecting information deliberately over time. The conversation explores permanent notes, structured workflows, the failure of linear planning, and why writing is thinking — not a result of thinking. With over a thousand interviews as source material, Srini reflects on how note-taking became a creativity engine, not a storage problem. Together, they reveal a system where intellectual productivity compounds — and why the ability to retrieve insight is more powerful than hoarding information.

Life of Purpose: Kamal Ravikant | The Profound Power of Personal Commitment

Wed, 10 Jul 2024 07:00:00 GMT

If we make a practice in our lives, like going to the gym or eating healthy, if you want to lose weight and be fit, or you want to be chiseled, you’ve got to make a practice. It’s a daily practice. You can’t go to the gym for a week and eat cake for 30 days nonstop and say “hey what happened? I was getting in shape.”

Whether you’re feeling bad or feeling good, that doesn’t matter. It’s just your practice, like when you wake up and when you go to sleep. There are certain things you do. It’s a fundamental practice. Just like you talk about with writing. It’s a practice. Then you hit the flow state. Same thing in life. You make it a practice. Life hits a flow state.

Things in life happen. People die. Nothing we can do to stop that. People we love die. Things happen. When we hit that flow state we bounce back much faster. The things that used to bring us down don’t bring us down like before. Then it’s only the real tragedies in life that bring us down. When a loved one dies, it’s a real tragedy and that should bring you down. It’s good to have loved someone that way and feel the loss. But the other stuff, the other garbage, the 99 percent of the stuff that brings us down that doesn’t matter lessens and its power over us lessens. So, I would say to someone who is either down or up, what matters is a fundamental daily practice of working on your inner self that keeps you in your personal flow. - Kamal Ravikant

Finally, Bruce shares his thoughts on resilience. He believes that resilience is not about bouncing back to where you were before a transition, but about growing and evolving through the experience.

Fri, 21 Oct 2022 11:20:34 GMT

In this episode, we're thrilled to have Annie Murphy Paul, an acclaimed author and a graduate of Columbia University's School of Journalism. Annie has a keen interest in the science of learning, a topic she has extensively explored in her work.

Annie shares her journey of writing a book about the science of learning. She discusses the challenges she faced in finding a big idea that could pull together all the disparate pieces of research she was uncovering. It wasn't until she landed on the theory of the extended mind, proposed by philosophers Andy Clark and David Chalmers, that she found the organizing principle for her book.

In our conversation, Annie delves into the role of leaders and managers in creating environments for people to thrive. She argues that we need to rethink the role of leaders and managers, not as people managers, but as situation creators. They should focus on creating environments in which people can think well and thrive emotionally.

Annie also touches on the impact of personality tests and the tendency of people to attribute fixed qualities to themselves and others. She finds personality tests fascinating, not only because they're used by organizations to put people into boxes, but also because people often want to be put into boxes. This tendency, she argues, overlooks the role of context in understanding behavior.

Fri, 22 Apr 2022 07:00:00 GMT

One of the things that is key to the success of children and I’d say anyone is to be related to. Part of what makes it possible for children to learn, grow and develop is that they are related to as people who can learn, grown, and develop. If you are not related to as a learner, but instead are related to as a loser, a fuckup, as somebody who is not going got go anywhere because of ABCDEFG, that is so much a part of why it is kids don’t succeed and they can’t learn. – Cathy Salit

The Unmistakable Creativity Hour | Why You Can't Copy and Paste Someone Else's Path to Success

Sun, 03 Apr 2022 17:23:17 GMT

In this episode of the Unmistakable Creativity Hour, we discuss how to implement the advice you get from books, podcasts, courses and coaches. The reason you can't copy and paste someone else's path to success is because in order to do so, you would need to overlook all unique variables and neglect the fact that prescriptive advice is context dependent. Context determines the effectiveness of all advice. For example, if you want to be a successful entrepreneur, you might look to Elon Musk as a role model. He is a great example of someone who has been able to achieve success by taking risks and being innovative. However, you also need to take into account the unique context in which he operates. Before modeling successful people you need to account for the variables that you simply can and can't replicate.

And he’s right. That’s a completely true statement. To build an empire you have to be at rock bottom.

Fri, 23 Jul 2021 07:01:39 GMT

What is it that makes people fall in love? It's one of the greatest mysteries of being human. I walked into the bookstore here in Colorado and stumbled upon Mandy Len Catron's memoir, How to Fall In Love with Anyone by Asking Them 36 Questions, and I couldn't help but wonder if these questions really could make you fall in love with anyone. My roommate, Matt, and his girlfriend at the time, Laura, volunteered to ask each other these questions to find out if this might just lead to a deeper connection and take us closer to solving the mystery of love.

Listener Favorites | Bob Gower: Inside the Psychology of Cults

Fri, 04 Jun 2021 07:00:33 GMT

In classic cult psychology or cult literature, there’s really two characteristics to a cult. First is that it’s ideologically intense and of course that can describe a lot of organizations. Everything from say something like the Landmark forum to the United States of America. We have an ideology that sits behind the organization. In order to be a part of the US government you have to adopt a certain kind of ideology. There’s this idea that we have an ideology. And cults for that reason pray on people like myself who really want to make the world a better place, want to change the world or feel dissatisfied in some way. There can be political cults. There are quite a few of those out there. There can be spiritual cults. There can be even commercial cults. Real estate is apparently a really common place right now where you find people who are learning how to flip houses and do all this stuff. And they began to develop these really intense ideology around how they approach the world and how they see the world. – Bob Gower

Listener Favorites: Tim Collins | Overcoming Anxiety

Fri, 21 May 2021 07:00:01 GMT

Being extremely hard on ourselves is very common in the very high stress and anxiety space because that’s kind of what got us there in the first place. Now, I love using the word curiosity. So when I get into these instances, I go to a curious place and say “Is this necessary? Does it really impact other people? The people that are impacted, do I really care what they think?” So much of our struggle in life is caring massive about what other people think of us. The reality is that there are only handful of people in the world that can affect my emotions in terms of what I think. Catering to everybody else is to my own detriment.

In the midst of overwhelming anxiety, Tim Collins left his 6 figure salary and job as a VP of Sales to lean into his anxiety and, in the process, overcome it.

Listener Favorites: Marina Krakovsky | The Middleman Economy

Fri, 05 Mar 2021 07:26:11 GMT

The way I started thinking about middlemen initially was this very simple definition: the person who connects buyers and sellers in a marketplace. In my reporting I actually came across a more expansive and smarter definition. This came from a VC in the valley named Mike Maples. And he says “a middleman in a network is that node in a network that connects other nodes to increase the value of the network.” That’s looking at it from a more positive view and it’s obviously a network view. It’s really looking at the value of the person who is making those connections because not all middlemen can create value or can increase the value of the network. Even if they do they don’t necessarily help both parties enough to justify their cost. I really like that positive angle. Also, it’s so expansive that it goes beyond buyers and sellers. If I know somebody who I think you should meet, I can make that introduction. I’m a middleman who has improved the value of my network by making both people hopefully better off. – Marina Krakovsky

Mon, 15 Feb 2021 07:00:13 GMT

For decades, we've been taught that if we strive for better or greater, it will bring us happiness and success.

Fri, 29 Jan 2021 07:00:07 GMT

Belief is what drives people’s decisions. This has to do with people’s desires. Their desires drive their beliefs and their beliefs drive their actions, period. It’s as simple as that and it’s as complex as that that because people are unaware of this. We are being pushed and pulled by our environment. We’re just trying to make it through the day: have a decent day, have nothing go wrong, and at the end of the day flip on Netflix. That’s what’s going on in the marketplace. When you get somebody to adopt what you do, you’re getting somebody to switch one belief for another belief and then going back on autopilot. – Tom Asacker

Tom Asacker is the author of The Business of Belief and sought after speaker who has lectured on innovation, strategic communication, the customer experience, and marketplace trends to corporate, association, and university audiences around the world. As an independent business consultant, he’s advised start-up ventures, NPOs, and Fortune 500 companies on innovation, emerging trends and strategic brand development and communication.

Fri, 27 Nov 2020 07:00:52 GMT

"Humans are emotional creatures. We all have the chance right now today to decide, and that word is so important, to decide to live a beautiful life, meaning no matter what’s going on. Don’t take my word for it. Victor Frankl, a holocaust survivor, this is all him, this is literally the message of his book Man’s Search for Meaning. When you decide to find something beautiful right now in the moment and this is somebody saying it from the perspective being in Auschwitz. When you can find purpose in what you’re going through, when you can find purpose in your suffering and you know why you’re doing this, then you really can have a fulfilling life regardless of the circumstances. If we all have to make that choice, we have to decide to live a beautiful life, we’re going do something incredible, then all of a sudden when you know what you’re trying to accomplish, when you have a specific vision for what you’re trying to make of this world, why it’s beautiful to you, and why it’s worth all the fight, all of a sudden you become incredibly resourceful, and that purpose, having a sense of significance and meaning in your life, for whatever reason we’re hardwired to find real fulfillment in that." - Tom Bilyeu

Fri, 18 Sep 2020 07:00:06 GMT

"So even if you say “I’m not trying to do deep work now. I”m in line at the supermarket. I’m bored let me look at something.” That actually affects your deep work the next morning or the next day when you actually want to do it. There’s this whole notion of passive training where you basically are embracing boredom. You give your mind plenty of practice in actually resisting the urge for distraction, being bored, and being present. That actually has the same sort of ramifications on your ability to focus down the line, just like smoking having to do with cardio vascular fitness. If you’re smoking outside of your practice as a professional athlete, when you get to your actual game you’re going to struggle. If your attention is constantly shifting towards things that are novel and interesting, if you can’t tolerate boredom, it’s going to be hard when it becomes time for you to focus to actually do it." - Cal Newport

"When you watch Ahmad Aubrey being shot and you hear that those men have been released and were it not for the video and the outrage, those people would be living their lives, what part of the contract is that in society? When you see George Floyd on the ground, and you see a man losing his life in a way that no person should ever have to lose their life at the hands of someone who is supposed to enforce the law, what part of the contract is that? A lot of people say, well, what good does this do? Yeah, but what good doesn't it do? That's the question people don't ask the other way around. What good does it do to loot Target? How does it help you to loot Target? Yeah but how does it help you to not loot Target? Answer that question." - Trevor Noah

36 Questions and The Mystery of Love

Fri, 31 Jul 2020 07:00:00 GMT

What is it that makes people fall in love? It's one of the greatest mysteries of being human. I walked into the bookstore here in Colorado and stumbled upon Mandy Len Catron's memoir, How to Fall In Love with Anyone by Asking Them 36 Questions, and I couldn't help but wonder if these questions really could make you fall in love with anyone. My roommate, Matt, and his now girlfriend, Laura, volunteered to ask each other these questions to find out if this might just lead to a deeper connection and take us closer to solving the mystery of love.

Listener Favorites | Anders Ericsson: Mastering Your Craft Through Deliberate Practice

Fri, 10 Jul 2020 07:00:29 GMT

In this episode of Unmistakable Creative, we delve into the mind of Anders Ericsson, a globally recognized psychologist and professor at Florida State University. Known for his groundbreaking research on the psychological nature of expertise and human performance, Ericsson introduces us to the concept of 'deliberate practice.' This method, he argues, is the key to achieving superior performance in any field, be it music, chess, medicine, or sports.

Ericsson's work challenges the notion that 'practice makes perfect,' asserting that the quality of the practice is far more important than the quantity. He emphasizes that practice must be deliberate and focused rather than mindless repetition. This episode explores how to apply deliberate practice not only to technical fields and artistic pursuits but also to our everyday work lives.

Listeners will gain insights into how expert performers acquire their superior skills and how they can apply these principles to their own lives. Whether you're an aspiring musician, a budding chess player, or a professional seeking to excel in your field, Ericsson's insights will provide you with the tools to master your craft through deliberate practice.

Fri, 15 May 2020 07:00:00 GMT

Often I will ask people “do you want to live an exceptional life?” And most people will say yes. But an exception by definition is low probability. If you want to live a normative life you’ll be in the middle of the bell curve. But if you want an exceptional life it’s going to be low probability. Anyone who wants an amazing life is probably going to go for a low probability life, which means you have to activate some sense of possibility. You ask yourself what is the possibility of doing something? Rather than saying “how do I recover from this trauma or how do I recover from this grief” you ask yourself “what do people who recover from these situations amazingly do? There what you’re looking for is the exception... The very first principle is think like the exception and not like the rule. - Srini Pillay

Dr. Srini Pillay is Assistant Professor of Psychiatry (Part-Time) at Harvard Medical School. He is known for combining “head and heart” (figuratively and literally) in an approach to personal development and goal mastery that blends science, spirituality, and horns-grabbing joie de vivre to combat the stresses faced by ambitious and high-achieving people in academia, business, and life.

Listener Favorites: Tamsen Webster: Telling Powerful Stories in a Short Amount of Time

Fri, 17 Jan 2020 07:00:00 GMT

I believe there is a universal filter, and a universal story that we’re all seeking to understand. And I call it the red thread. It’s a phrase borrowed from Scandinavian countries where they used to say “What is the thing that ties all this together? What’s the theme? What’s the message? What’s the through line?” And we all want that. What I’ve discovered is that we all have that. Every organization, every person, every idea has this thing that makes it make sense. But how we make it make sense is fascinating. The best way to think about it is as Mad Libs. When we are trying to make sense of a situation or we’re trying to make sense of what someone is asking us to do, or if we’re in the position of “how do I tell this story in such a way that moves people”? The pattern of that story is universal, like a pre-written mad libs story. But where it becomes unique, where the power is, not only for us to understand what our own red thread is, but as we’re trying to explain things to other people…we don’t have to figure out the whole story. All we have to figure is how we fill in the blanks. – Tamsen Webster

Tamsen Webster is an acclaimed keynote speaker, “idea whisperer,” and change strategist. She combined 20 years in marketing with 13 years as a Weight Watchers leader into a simple structure for understanding, talking about, and creating lasting change. She’s the Executive Producer of the oldest and one of the largest locally organized TED talk events in the world, and an in-demand consultant on finding the ideas that move people to action.

Allison Schrager: An Economist’s Guide to The Psychology of Risk

Wed, 30 Oct 2019 07:00:30 GMT

Today, we're thrilled to share our conversation with Alison Schraeger, an esteemed economist, journalist, and author. In this episode, Allison delves into the complex world of risk, decision-making, and the unpredictable nature of human behavior.

Allison Schraeger is a thought leader in the fields of economics and finance. In this episode, she shares her wisdom on the concepts of idiosyncratic and systematic risk. She discusses how these types of risks impact our daily lives, from the decisions we make in our jobs to the investments we make for our future.

Allison's insights extend beyond the realm of economics. She explores the role of emotions in decision-making, challenging the notion that decisions should be devoid of emotions. Instead, she argues, emotions are an integral part of the decision-making process, influencing our perceptions and actions.

One of the key themes of this episode is the importance of learning from our mistakes. Alison shares her own experiences of risk-taking, highlighting the value of repeated experiences in improving our risk-taking abilities. She encourages listeners to embrace their mistakes, learn from them, and use them as stepping stones towards better decision-making.

This episode also delves into the impact of perceived probability on our behavior. Alison discusses how our perceptions of probability can influence our actions, often leading us to take risks that we might otherwise avoid. She provides practical advice on how to navigate these perceptions and make more informed decisions.

Join us in this enlightening conversation with Allison Schraeger and learn how to better understand and manage risk in your own life. You can find the Unmistakable Creative Podcast on all major podcast platforms. Don't forget to subscribe, rate, and review!

Best of: Jia Jiang: Lessons Learned from 100 Days of Rejection

Fri, 20 Sep 2019 07:00:36 GMT

How do you overcome a fear of rejection? By getting rejected over and over again and learning lessons from those experiences. Jia Jiang did just that, and he turned 100 days of rejection into a life-altering experience that culminated in a full blown movement. Hear his story and how rejection completely changed his life.

Jia Jang came to the United States with the dream of being the next Bill Gates. But despite early success in the corporate world, his first attempt to pursue his entrepreneurial dream ended in rejection. Jia was crushed, and spiraled into a period of deep self doubt. But he realized that his fear of rejection was a bigger obstacle than any single rejection would ever be, and he needed to find a way to cope with being told no without letting it destroy him. Thus was born his “100 days of rejection” experiment, during which he willfully sought rejection on a daily basis–from requesting a lesson in sales from a car salesman (no) to asking a flight attendant if he could make an announcement on the loud speaker (yes) to his famous request to get Krispy Kreme doughnuts in the shape of Olympic rings.

Best of: Rules for Focused Success in a Distracted World with Cal Newport

Fri, 19 Jul 2019 07:00:40 GMT

“So even if you say “I’m not trying to do deep work now. I”m in line at the supermarket. I’m bored let me look at something.” That actually affects your deep work the next morning or the next day when you actually want to do it. There’s this whole notion of passive training where you basically are embracing boredom. You give your mind plenty of practice in actually resisting the urge for distraction, being bored, and being present. That actually has the same sort of ramifications on your ability to focus down the line, just like smoking having to do with cardio vascular fitness. If you’re smoking outside of your practice as a professional athlete, when you get to your actual game you’re going to struggle. If your attention is constantly shifting towards things that are novel and interesting, if you can’t tolerate boredom, it’s going to be hard when it becomes time for you to focus to actually do it.” – Cal Newport

Best of: The Inevitable Forces That Will Shape Our Future with Kevin Kelly

Fri, 25 Jan 2019 08:00:07 GMT

I truly do believe that this is both the very best time in the history of the universe, as far as we can tell, to make something because the tools for creation have never been more easily gotten, they’ve never been cheaper. They’ve never been better. They’ve never been as diverse. And they truly make things more accessible. So if you want to make something that has been made already like a book, a movie, a song, the tools do that are just about free, which means almost anybody in the world can get their hands on it. And many of these things in previous generations were prohibitively expensive and relegated to the elites. But now you can make a book that looks as good as a best-selling author can make, and you can distribute it, and it costs very little do…We are at a moment right now in terms of what’s ahead of us, that it’s a very rapidly expanding opening. We’re on the cusp of all these very transformative technologies and trends that will produce more stuff and opportunities in the next 50 years than in the past 50 years as much as that’s hard to believe. – Kevin Kelly

Best of: The Science of Succeeding with People with Vanessa Van Edwards

Fri, 11 Jan 2019 08:00:24 GMT

“We like winners. We like to be around winners. We like to work with winners. We like to be friends with winners. That is because we know unconsciously that could activate our feedback loop to win. University of British Columbia did a research study on athletes. They studied athletes around the world. They also studied athletes who’d been blind since birth. They found that across races and genders athletes have the exact same body language when they win or lose a race. Pride body language very specifically is when people take up as much space as possible. They tilt their head up towards the sky. They open their arms wide. They’ll jump up into the air or firmly plant their feet. It’s as if they’re saying “I feel good in the world so I want to take up more space in it.” Whereas defeated athletes, this is the body language of losing and shame, is when they take up as little space as possible. They roll their shoulders in. They tilt their heads towards their chest. They usually will grip their hands in a fist or clenched fashion. They even will stand or sit in fetal position. This is the universal gesture of shame. What happens is when we first see someone, in that first few seconds, we’re very quickly trying to decided “who do you look more like a winner or a loser?” We can pick up how prideful someone feels based on how much space they’re taking up and how much movement they have”- Vanessa Van Edwards

Best of: Lessons Learned from 100 Days of Rejection with Jia Jiang

Fri, 29 Jun 2018 11:28:06 GMT

Jia Jiang came to the United States with the dream of being the next Bill Gates. But despite early success in the corporate world, his first attempt to pursue his entrepreneurial dream ended in rejection. Jia was crushed, and spiraled into a period of deep self doubt. But he realized that his fear of rejection was a bigger obstacle than any single rejection would ever be, and he needed to find a way to cope with being told no without letting it destroy him. Thus was born his “100 days of rejection” experiment, during which he willfully sought rejection on a daily basis–from requesting a lesson in sales from a car salesman (no) to asking a flight attendant if he could make an announcement on the loud speaker (yes) to his famous request to get Krispy Kreme doughnuts in the shape of Olympic rings.
