If you’re looking to completely transform your life, you don’t need to overhaul everything overnight. In fact, the most meaningful changes often come from the smallest shifts, the kind that take 10 seconds or less but pay dividends over time. In this episode, I break down the small habits I’ve added over the years that have led to major shifts in my health, mindset, and productivity.

We’ve normalized debt, student loans, car payments, credit cards, and convinced ourselves it’s just the cost of adulthood. But what if it’s actually the biggest barrier to the life you want? In this episode, I break down why most of us are drowning in consumer debt, how we got here, and what it really takes to climb out.

There are moments when sitting down to do something meaningful feels physically uncomfortable, like your brain is actively protesting. You open your laptop with the best intentions, and five minutes later, you’re in a black hole of browser tabs, group chats, and a suspicious number of snack breaks. Why is it so hard to focus, especially on the stuff that actually matters? In this episode, I unpack the science behind that resistance, why our brains crave distraction, how dopamine has hijacked our motivation system, and why chasing pleasure might be the exact thing pulling us away from purpose.

Most self-help advice makes me cringe. Vision boards, “manifesting,” and the whole daily affirmation thing? Yeah, I’ve always put that in the woo-woo category. But lately, I’ve been stuck in my head, wrestling with self-doubt, perfectionism, and the classic case of overthinking everything. So I decided to try something that made me deeply uncomfortable: staring at myself in the mirror and saying things like “I am enough.” And no, I didn’t spontaneously combust from secondhand embarrassment. In this episode, I test daily affirmations for a week, even the corny ones, and rope my wife into writing a few that are, well, questionable at best.

Ever stared at your to-do list and felt like it was staring back, daring you to make the first move? You’re not lazy. Your brain’s just doing what it was built to do: avoid discomfort, conserve energy, and protect you from anything that feels even slightly threatening, like starting that massive project you’ve been putting off for months. In this episode, I break down one of the simplest yet most effective ways to bypass your brain’s panic button and finally get started: The 5 Minute Rule.

When I launched this podcast six years ago, I imagined big things: millions of downloads, awards, and overnight success. But that’s not what happened. Instead, I got eight downloads. And no, that’s not a metaphor. In this episode, I share what actually kept me going when no one was listening. It wasn’t hustle. It wasn’t motivation. It was something much simpler, and much harder to stick with.

I love to travel. And I also kind of hate it. On one hand, you’re soaking in new cultures, trying unfamiliar foods, and pushing your comfort zone in all the right ways. On the other hand, your routine gets kicked in the face, your healthy habits vanish, and you leave feeling like you need a vacation from your vacation. After years of getting it wrong, I finally figured out how to travel without torching my well-being, and it all came down to one surprisingly simple shift. In this episode, I share the one thing that’s helped me stay grounded, energized, and healthy on the road.

Imagine gaining back 2.5 months of your life, every single year. That’s how much time the average person spends on their phone. And if you're like most of us, that screen time is spent scrolling, tapping, and chasing tiny red dots. In this episode, I break down why social media is the addiction no one wants to admit they have, and challenge you to do something radical: a 30-day social media detox.
