  • The Power of Small Choices: How Inflection Points Shape Your Life

    The Power of Small Choices: How Inflection Points Shape Your Life
    Jul 15 2025

    Have you ever realized that one tiny decision could change the course of your entire day? Crazier still - your entire life? This week, we explore the psychology of inflection points, the seemingly small decisions we make that quietly but powerfully shape our behavior, identity and future. We dig into why our brains often default to “either/or” thinking, how to utilize an archer’s mindset to align with our goals, and what chess can teach us about slowing down. Listen in, and learn how to recognize and respond to these pivotal moments with more intention and less reactivity.

  • The Willpower Fallacy: Why Motivation Fails

    The Willpower Fallacy: Why Motivation Fails
    Jun 10 2025

    We dismantle one of the most persistent myths in self-improvement: that success is all about willpower. Drawing on the work of Roy Baumeister and other behavioral science research, we reveal why willpower is a limited resource rather than a moral failing and why relying on it only sets you up for failure. Instead of hoping we have the strength to continue, we use this episode to offer you smarter strategies - like habit design, environmental tweaks, and friction hacks - to help you achieve your goals without burning out your mental battery.
