• I Quit My Alarm Clock For A Month
    Sep 1 2025

    We all know the drill: the alarm blares, you hit snooze, and somehow the day has already started on the wrong foot. So I decided to see what would happen if I quit my alarm clock for an entire month. In this episode, I share what I learned about waking up naturally, getting better sleep, and how letting go of the beeping tyranny of alarms actually improved my mornings, my productivity, and my sanity.

  • Ranking The Worst Bad Habits
    Aug 25 2025

    We all have habits that shape our lives, some helpful, some… not so much. In this episode, I rank the worst possible habits in a tier list, diving into what makes them truly destructive, why we keep falling for them, and what that says about the way we live. Think of it as a cautionary guide to what not to do if you actually want to get anywhere.

  • This Might Be Why You Feel Lonely
    Aug 21 2025

    We live in the most connected time in human history, video calls across the world, instant messages, and same-day delivery for just about anything we want. And yet we’ve also become the loneliest society ever. How did that happen? In this episode, I explore why modern life has left so many of us feeling isolated, what author Johann Hari discovered while investigating the root causes of depression and anxiety, and how rebuilding real human connection might be the antidote we’ve been missing.

  • The Unplanned Habit That Changed My Health
    Aug 18 2025

    Intermittent fasting isn’t a diet; it’s about when you eat, not what you eat. For the last two years, I’ve been unintentionally doing a 16-hour fast every day. I didn’t plan it, and I definitely didn’t expect it to stick. So I decided to dive into the latest science and expert opinions to see what’s really going on. Is fasting the secret to better health, or just another overhyped trend?

  • How We Actually Keep Our Home Organized
    Aug 14 2025
    I love organization. Maybe it’s the minimalist in me, or the perfectionist, but there’s something deeply satisfying about turning chaos into order. The problem is, most organizing advice online seems designed for people with infinite time, money, and storage space (and no kids). In this episode, I share seven simple, realistic things my wife and I actually do to keep our home clean, tidy, and functional, without it becoming a full-time job.For more go to: www.scottmlynch.comEpisode resources:Reusable cable ties and cable clip cord organizersShoe rackDrawer dividers and silverware organizersGlass food storage containers, stainless steel food containers, and food containers27-gallon storage toteLevel up your life by joining my Patreon where you’ll get exclusive content every week and more badass offerings (rips t-shirt in half, Hulk Hogan style, and runs around the room).

  • Self-Help Has Gotten Out of Control
    Aug 11 2025

    At some point, self-care went from drinking water and getting enough sleep to sticking coffee where the sun doesn’t shine. Literally. The global self-care market ballooned from $10 billion in 2014 to over $450 billion by 2020, and along the way, wellness became a full-time job. From 4:30 a.m. wake-ups to skincare routines that require a chemistry degree, we’ve officially overcomplicated the art of taking care of ourselves. In this episode, I react to some of the most viral “self-improvement” TikToks and reels, unpacking the absurdity, and asking a simple question: when did growth stop being… simple?

  • Can You Really Hack Your Dreams?
    Aug 7 2025

    Dreams: the place where your punches are only half as effective, all your teeth fall out, and you can only run away from bad guys in slow motion. But can you actually hack your dreams and control what happens in there? In this episode, I dive into my experiment with lucid dreaming, the science, the surprises, and the reality of trying to take the reins while you sleep.
