The Top 3 Fitness Mistakes and How to 20:80 your Health - w/ Coach Jake Parker, Beyond Fitness
We think fitness is about the body. But in truth, it begins in the story we tell ourselves.
In this conversation with Jake Parker, we explore fitness not as a battle of discipline, but as a shifting of identity.
Humans evolved in a world of scarcity where every calorie mattered. Now, in a world of abundance, that same wiring works against us. The magic, Jake suggests, is in designing new defaults. Defaults where exercise becomes an act of self-kindness, food choices become votes for the person you want to be, and consistency becomes less a grind and more a groove.
Fitness then stops being a task and starts becoming a story of who you are becoming.
Three Takeaways:
The differences between female and male beliefs around exercise
How environments shape habits more than willpower does
The top 3 mistakes people make when getting fit

Where To Spend Your Life Energy: A 3-step framework for brilliance
It's not just what you do, it's how you do it.
We are increasingly bombarded with demands and equally confused by how important everything seems.
Growing up every year the next exam will make or break the rest of your life... The reality is some things don't matter and other things matter much more than you will ever know.
Saying hi to that stranger that becomes your wife, helping a friend start that stupid idea, putting way too much effort into a dinner party.
We only have so much time and energy and many parts of life we can do more than get away with the minimum but actively seek to do as little as possible. In other parts we should raise hell to bring our full brilliance into play.

Defining Your Own Success in a World Full of Self-Appointed Experts - w/ Mike Winnet (Worlds #1 Demotivational Coach)
What if success isn’t about working harder or even more achievement, but about how we feel day to day?
In this episode, Mike Winnet invites us to reconsider the very stories we tell about ambition and achievement.
The culture around entrepreneurship often creates illusions; mirages shimmering in a desert of social media noise.
Mike challenges us to step beyond these distractions and ask: What if the real path is serene, sane, and sustainable? This episode reveals how transforming our metrics for success can free us from the endless hustle, empowering us to craft meaningful, autonomous lives.
Recognize the paradigm shift from chasing fame to finding clarity.
Choose values and success metrics that reflect your true self.
Embrace responsibility as a gateway to freedom, not burden.

The Evolutionary Psychology of Gender Roles, Male Violence & Food - How Fire Transformed Us
Ever felt like you were wrestling with more than just a campfire? Me too. Turns out, controlling fire is a bit like trying to control your own mind; tricky, unpredictable, and full of surprises.
In this episode, we have an episode drop from Sam's new show "How to Change the World; The History and Future of Innovation".
We dive into the wild story of how humanity’s obsession with fire set us on the path to becoming who we are today. We’ll talk about global wildfires and backyard barbecues, and how both are woven into our DNA and even impact things like gender roles and male aggression.
If you’ve ever wondered why you crave campfire chats or why your brain loves new ideas, this one’s for you.
Takeaways:
Fire literally rewired our bodies and minds
Our social lives, from dinner with friends to group self-improvement, started around the fire.
Rethinking what you fear could be the key to your next breakthrough.

Why Taking Life Less Seriously Could Be the Productivity Boost You Need
The art of making work not suck; how playing helps you stress less (and achieve more).
In today’s episode, we challenge the architecture of adulthood, built brick by brick with “shoulds”. Using stories of ancient ancestors and modern cubicles, we’ll ask:
Why do we surrender to seriousness, and at what cost?
You’ll learn how the prison of comparison, the tyranny of the checklist, and our fear of imperfection rob us of the very autonomy we crave:
Build tiny rituals that make work feel less like war, more like wonder.
Experiment boldly and let imperfection be your guide, not your judge.
Infect your workplace with micro-moments of fun (and make it contagious).
It’s your move—why not choose to play?

About Growth Mindset Psychology: The Science of Self-Improvement
There are a lot of opinions on how to master your mind, but then there’s PSYCHOLOGY.
We’re all stuck with the brain we’re born with, but we aren’t stuck with how we use it.
Learn science-backed answers to make the most of your mind and your life.
CURIOUS?
Growth Mindset Psychology is the "self-help sceptic" podcast for the curious.
Whether you want to improve performance, navigate setbacks, or know who you are.
We find answers to the true science of self-improvement.
So put down the astrology chart and start working with your mind, instead of against it.
With over 8 million downloads and 60,000 monthly listeners, you’re invited to join.
PROCESS
Instead of telling you what to think, we discuss how thinking works.
Armed with a stack of science journals, textbooks and a boatload of curiosity, we uncover the mechanics of the mind.
Why? >>> Success is personal!
You might want to make the most of your neurodiverse strengths, start a business, or simply find more reasons to smile.
Hone your ability for independent thinking and growth with mental models to pursue your definition of success.
HOST
I’m Sam Webster Harris, a lifelong learner with ADHD, a raging curiosity, and an obsession with finding answers to hard questions.
After launching several businesses, travelling the world and nearly dying a few times I concluded that science and Psychology are where it’s at.
What actually makes people happy? What’s the best way to treat a brain? How can I get more done?
Studying the answers we find that changing behaviours requires building mindsets, mental models, and a healthy relationship with failure.
I run the show to help listeners enjoy nutritious content that feeds their minds (and I needed a legitimate excuse to cover for my reading addiction).
