“New Year, New Me” is dead — and in this episode of The All-In Podcast, John Michael, Jose, and Clayton explain why most resolutions collapse before January is even halfway over.

Instead of trying to reinvent yourself overnight, the guys unpack the science (and spirituality) behind small, stackable habits that actually last — and why tiny daily wins beat big flashy goals every time.

They also break down the subtle pressure of social media, the dopamine hit of announcing resolutions too early, and how habit-building becomes easier when it’s tied to routines you already have.

In This Episode You’ll Learn:

🎯 Why New Year’s resolutions fail within the first 10–15 days

📉 How announcing goals publicly hurts motivation

🔄 Why small habits stack better than big reinventions

🙏 How to attach habits to routines you already do (like praying the Rosary on the drive to work)

🌙 The impact of consistent sleep, morning routines, and phone boundaries

💡 How to design a New Year that fits you — not the internet

If you’re tired of burnout, hype culture, and false starts, this episode will help you build a New Year that’s actually sustainable — spiritually, mentally, and practically.

Why does Christmas feel like it ends as soon as it begins? In this episode of the All-In Podcast, John Michael, Jose, and Clayton dive into why Christmas burnout is real — and why embracing a longer season might be exactly what your soul needs.

From the chaos of holiday expectations to the beauty of Advent, the guys explore how modern culture rushes past Christmas while the liturgical calendar calls us to slow down, savor joy, and actually celebrate longer than one frantic morning.

In This Episode You’ll Hear:

🎬 Our Mount Rushmore of Christmas movies (and the Die Hard + Harry Potter debates)

🕯️ How Advent prepares us differently than secular holiday hype

🌞 Why St. John the Baptist’s feast day falls on the summer solstice — and what it reveals

🎉 Why Christmas is an octave (8-day feast!) and why the celebration shouldn’t stop on the 25th

👑 The cultural and spiritual meaning behind Epiphany and Three Kings Day

🌲 Why keeping your decorations up longer is good for your mind, your home, and your faith

If you’ve ever felt overstimulated during the holidays — or wished Christmas didn’t disappear overnight — this conversation will help you rediscover the warmth of the season.
