Summary In this episode, Andy welcomes Coach Tony Weaver, author of Project Manage Your Life: Your Blueprint for Achieving Any Goal — One Step at a Time. After decades of leading complex IT, marketing, and transformation projects, Tony turned his project management skills inward and used them to lose over 100 pounds. That journey sparked a new mission: helping others apply the same proven methods to their own goals, whether it's health, finances, career, or just finally following through on something important. In this conversation, you'll hear how to turn vague intentions into measurable, motivating goals. Tony shares how to break down big ambitions into doable milestones, track your progress without becoming a slave to the data, and stay consistent with joy instead of burnout. He unpacks what SMART goals actually look like in the real world and explains why the project mindset can transform not just what you achieve, but how you feel while doing it. If you're looking for practical ideas to move forward on goals that matter to you, at work or at home, this episode is for you! Sound Bites “Project management absolutely changed my life.” “Life is agile.” “Every goal is a project. Project management is just applying structure to that goal.” “Your brain doesn't care about your happiness. It cares about keeping you safe. That's why it resists change.” “Once you build confidence in yourself, the goal you set becomes just a jumping-off point.” “Setting a goal is an act of hope. It says that tomorrow can be better than today.” “Track what you can control. Influence is important, but control drives change.” “Focus on the things you control. Keep an eye on the results, but don't obsess about them.” “The safest place to be is in your comfort zone, not trying.” “Some numbers matter. Some are interesting. Some aren't even interesting.” “Letting a goal die of loneliness? That's a recipe for regret.” Chapters 00:00 Introduction 01:36 Start of Interview 02:00 How Project Management Led to a New Mission 06:14 Mentorship, Coaching, and Project Management in Life 07:40 What Project Management Looks Like in Everyday Terms 11:20 Why Good Intentions Don't Lead to Change 13:10 Why Most People Don't Set Goals 15:24 Setting a Goal as an Act of Hope 18:00 Common Goal-Setting Mistakes and How to Fix Them 21:30 Building a Plan that Actually Works for You 23:50 Why You Should Plan Celebration, Not Just Completion 24:38 How to Track Progress Without Obsessing Over Data 29:20 The Danger of Focusing Too Much on Lagging Indicators 30:45 Two Client Success Stories 34:34 Where to Learn More About Coach Tony 35:28 End of Interview 36:03 Andy Comments After the Interview 39:05 Outtakes Learn More You can learn more about Tony and his work at OperationMelt.com.

In this episode of the Flex Diet Podcast, I'm diving headfirst into the science of sleep with two heavy hitters—Dr. J Wiles and Dr. Jeff Dermer from Absolute Rest.We cover it all: why sleep is such a big deal from an evolutionary standpoint, how your modern lifestyle is probably trashing it, and what you can actually do to fix it. We dig into behavioral changes, the role of wearables versus legit lab sleep studies, and practical, no-BS strategies to get better shut-eye.Jay Wiles and Jeremy Durmer break down Absolute Rest's comprehensive approach, examining the psychological, physiological, and environmental factors that influence sleep. Translation: it's not just “buy a new pillow and call it good.”We also get into the fun stuff like caffeine, nicotine, and alcohol—how they mess with your recovery and performance—and why making small behavioral shifts and value-based choices can keep your sleep dialed in for the long haul.If you've ever wondered how to stop treating sleep like an optional side quest and instead make it one of your biggest performance enhancers, this one's for you.Sponsors:LMNT electrolyte drink mix: https://drinklmnt.com/Get my free magnesium guide: https://miket.me/magAvailable now:Grab a copy of the Triphasic Training II book I co-wrote with Cal Deitz here.Episode Chapters:06:13 The Importance of Sleep: Evolutionary and Scientific Perspectives11:40 Sleep Deprivation Studies and Their Implications16:54 Unihemispheric Sleep: Can Humans Do It?25:00 Personalized Sleep Needs and Efficiency36:44 Personalized Sleep Assessment37:28 Subjective Experience in Sleep Quality38:20 Comprehensive Sleep Testing38:58 Autonomic Sleep Testing Explained39:32 Behavioral and Psychological Factors41:29 Polysomnography and Its Evolution47:23 Home Sleep Testing Innovations48:14 Cardiopulmonary Coupling and Sleep Quality56:35 Heart Rate Variability and Sleep01:06:44 Behavior Change and Value Systems01:13:50 Struggles with Sleep and Coaching Solutions01:14:27 Blocking Data to Improve Sleep Coaching01:14:58 Empowering Clients to Interpret Sleep Data01:15:41 The Importance of Sleep Regularity01:17:24 Caffeine and Nicotine's Impact on Sleep01:19:07 Genetics and Supplements in Sleep Health01:21:39 Behavioral Changes for Better Sleep01:27:35 Comprehensive Sleep Program Overview01:41:02 Addressing Sleep Issues in Children01:45:00 Podcast Conclusion and Resources Flex Diet Podcasts You May Enjoy: Episode 310: Unpacking the Science of Sleep with Dr. Allison Brager: https://miketnelson.com/episode-310-unpacking-the-science-of-sleep-with-dr-allison-brager/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fhS0qsF1OHs Episode 283: Unlocking Better Sleep and Stress Reduction with Dr. Dan Cohen of Soltec Health: https://miketnelson.com/episode-283-unlocking-better-sleep-and-stress-reduction-with-dr-dan-cohen-of-soltec-health/YouTube: https://youtu.be/VInoz9ItGfwConnect with Jay and Jeremy:Absolute Rest: https://www.absoluterest.com/Get In Touch with Dr Mike:Instagram: DrmiketnelsonYouTube: @flexdietcertEmail: Miketnelson.com/contact-us
Grace & Grit Podcast: Helping Women Everywhere Live Happier, Healthier and More Fit Lives

In this kickoff episode, I'll pull back the curtain on my five-year journey to create The Consistency Code. You'll discover the real-world observations that sparked this work and the personal consistency struggles that made me the perfect imperfect person to write it. This episode offers a unique glimpse into: The pattern of frustration I noticed across hundreds of midlife women My own embarrassing consistency failures and how they became valuable research The “aha moment” that finally allowed me to complete this work after years of false starts … and so much more! Whether you're curious about the book or already committed to showing up more consistently for yourself, this heartfelt episode connects the dots between my professional observations and personal experience to explain why The Consistency Code is more than just another book—it's a revolution in how midlife women approach behavior change and how they can put their healthiest and happiest years ahead of them, rather than behind them.

In this episode of Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, host Avik speaks with Glen Lubbert, CEO and co-founder of Stamina Lab, about a solution-focused approach that starts with what's already working. Glen breaks down how to reframe burnout as a signpost, swap shame for evidence-based self-efficacy, and design many paths to the same outcome—focus, energy, and resilience—without white-knuckling your habits. Listeners learn practical prompts (“What do I want instead?” and “What difference will that make?”) and 24-hour micro-actions to build momentum that lasts across real-life constraints like travel, family, and shifting schedules. Direct, actionable, and grounded in coaching science—not quick fixes. About the guest : Glen Lubbert is the co-founder & CEO of Stamina Lab, a health innovation studio integrating solution-focused coaching, mindfulness, and science-backed behavior strategies. A former Division I athlete, performance coach, and entrepreneur, he has collaborated with leading institutions and teams to help people create sustainable change. Key takeaways: Start from strengths: ask, “What's already working?” This shifts attention from problems to usable resources you can scale. Use the two core prompts: “What do I want instead?” and “What difference will that make—for me and others?” Translate the vision into one small action in the next 24 hours; repetition builds self-efficacy and identity (“I am the person who…”). Routines are tools, not rules. When life breaks your routine, choose an alternative path (deep breath, mindful walk, stairs at the airport) that still serves the outcome. Reframe burnout as information, not failure; noticing is progress. Then act on a smallest-next-step that restores focus or energy. Swap guilt/shame loops for evidence collection: list what stopped you from going further off-track (e.g., half a pint, not a full pint). Anchor motivation by asking “What difference will that make?” until it connects to meaningful values (presence, creativity, loved ones). Expect many valid paths to the same river—flexibility beats perfectionism for long-term adherence.

Mindfulness and Behavior Change explores how mindfulness-based interventions (MBIs) support sustainable health behavior change. In this episode, Dr. Jud Brewer and colleagues examine the neuroscience behind mindfulness, emphasizing motivation, learning, self-regulation, and habit formation. The study presents an integrative model that links mindfulness with neural mechanisms governing cognitive control, emotion regulation, and self-related processing. By reducing maladaptive behaviors—such as smoking, overeating, and substance use—mindfulness enhances self-awareness and facilitates long-term behavior change. Tune in to discover the science behind mindfulness as a powerful tool for improving mental and physical well-being.Reference:Schuman-Olivier Z, Trombka M, Lovas DA, Brewer JA, Vago DR, Gawande R, Dunne JP, Lazar SW, Loucks EB, Fulwiler C.

In this episode of the Living Well podcast, Liv Hill discusses the inherent problems with diets, emphasizing that they often set individuals up for failure. She explores how diets create unrealistic expectations and invisible contracts that don't align with personal lifestyles. Liv shares key reasons why most diets fail, including their expense, complexity, and lack of sustainability. The conversation shifts towards the importance of adopting a lifestyle change mindset rather than a diet mentality, focusing on practical and sustainable behavior changes for long-term success.
Grace & Grit Podcast: Helping Women Everywhere Live Happier, Healthier and More Fit Lives
In this episode, we explore the five essential pillars that empower women to navigate midlife with renewed purpose and energy.

Key takeaways include… Understanding why dramatic overhauls typically fail midlife women How hormone fluctuations affect energy levels and require new planning approaches Practical techniques for rebuilding self-trust after periods of self-neglect The transformative power of adapting your expectations while maintaining core commitments Have a listen, and if it lands, consider sharing it with the women in your life who could benefit from hearing the message.

This episode delves into a powerful model for encouraging behaviour change, applicable to both managing others and self-improvement, by focusing on three critical factors: Trigger, Incentive, and Ability. It challenges common, ineffective management approaches and provides insights into fostering new habits and desired actions by making the 'right' thing the 'easy' thing.Uncover why naive management approaches, such as mandating rules or blaming individuals, are ineffective at solving underlying behavioural problems or creating new, lasting habits.Learn about the Trigger, Incentive, and Ability model, a set of principles that can be applied to encourage specific actions in others or to facilitate self-betterment and incorporate new behaviours into your own life.Understand that Incentives are the critical factor in deciding what actions to pursue, driven by the question, "what's in it for me?". It's crucial for incentives to be clear and understood; an unclear incentive is effectively no incentive at all. Beneficial incentives tend to be more effective from a scientific standpoint.Discover the importance of a clear Trigger, which is the cross point or moment at which a decision to act is made. Assuming triggers will be self-generated is often a flawed management practice, especially when encouraging new behaviours.Explore how Ability goes beyond just skill, encompassing clarity on how to do something and the reduction of friction and variability in the desired behaviour. The goal is to reduce cognitive overload and make the desired action the easiest option, thereby facilitating habit formation.Realise the interconnection between Ability and Incentive, as a lack of clarity in how to perform a task (Ability) can make the incentive unclear because the reward for completion becomes uncertain.Learn that the investment in encouraging behaviour change should focus on creating a better trigger, a better (and clearer) incentive, and higher ability (lower friction, higher skill) to ensure people engage in the desired behaviour.

Andrew Humberman BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.Andrew Huberman has been everywhere the past few days from his signature podcast, to a brush with controversy on social media, to a notable mention in top health journalism. On August 1, an Instagram reel exploded in engagement after Huberman himself recorded what he described as people lighting fires in downtown Los Angeles, offering his platform to draw attention to public safety concerns. That video was promptly shared by multiple accounts, sparking conversation around civic engagement and the responsibilities of influencers. At nearly the same time, the Instagram business community was abuzz with Huberman's latest neuroscience tidbit he revealed that the classic introvert versus extrovert debate is rooted in differing dopamine receptor patterns, not personality labels per se, leading to fresh debate about work culture and leadership strategies.Huberman's flagship Huberman Lab podcast continues at full throttle. The July 28 episode delved into practical essentials of his research, distilling key takeaways on behavior change and mental health a formula that has kept his listenership in the millions. The series' recent guests included preeminent thinkers from Michael Easter to Dr. Marc Berman, whose discussion about nature's effects on cognition generated both scholarly citations and viral snackable clips. His media exposure also surged, with KFF Health News on August 1 specifically quoting him in discussions about the sweeping staff cuts impacting community health care programs—a rare crossover of a neuroscience educator being pulled into systems-level health policy discourse. Some outlets like KFF went further, naming Huberman as a leading podcaster who brings “real-world” relevance to high-level debates, extending his influence beyond standard academic circles.In terms of public appearances, he is slated as a keynote for several major entrepreneurship events throughout September and October, including the EO Powerhouse gathering in Chicago and EO Nerve in Atlanta, where his blend of cerebral science and business-savvy rhetoric has generated early buzz among founders and VC circles. While he has not confirmed any new business ventures or product launches in the days since August began, speculation persists about an impending collaboration with a large fitness technology brand—chatter unconfirmed by Huberman's team but amplified by fitness insiders.Finally, YouTube and podcast platforms report strong engagement with Huberman's segment on how sprinting can boost both strength and longevity, an episode widely shared by athletes and biohackers alike in the last 72 hours. Through a confluence of science, storytelling, and an uncanny ability to spark conversation, Andrew Huberman continues to shape the neuroscience landscape—and, increasingly, drive mainstream discourse on health and human potential.Get the best deals https://amzn.to/3ODvOta
Send us a text00:00:00 - Surf's Up: Episode 6.9This conversation covers three topics. The first discusses the challenges of behavior change in dietary habits and ways governments can help, the second looks at what one can learn from wearing a CGM for 30 days, and the third celebrates the late Stephen Harrison while looking into the future of clinical trials and medical education. 00:06:12 - Global Think-Tank on SLD Roundtable, Part 3Behavior consultant Dr. Kristina Curtis joins Jörn Schattenberg, Louise Campbell and Roger Green to discuss issues related to patient-centered care. This conversation starts by focusing on the unique challenges that come with changing dietary habits. Changing this behavior is so challenging because the issues are so complex. People lack education about healthy eating habits. Even when they do, the high-pressure world in which we live often makes it easier simply to offer children fast food. Even parents who know better might allow their children (or spouses, or selves) not to eat vegetables after a trying day. The panel proceeds to discuss steps politicians can take to encourage healthier living and lifestyles if they wish, and why some are easier to execute than others. Finally, the group shares why they felt "enlightened" when leaving the SLD, and perhaps a little less alone. 00:21:34 - Newsmaker: Fatty Liver Alliance President Mike BetelThis interview with Fatty Liver Alliance President Mike Betel focuses on Year 3 of his 30-day Glucose Challenge. Mike wears a continuous glucose monitor (CGM) for the entire month of July and provides daily videos on LinkedIn and the Fatty Liver Alliance website discussing what he learned. The first year was dedicated to teaching the impact of eating badly and the second year was similar, but less egregious. This year, Mike, who is pre-diabetic, set the goal of keeping his glucose in a "normal" range of 70-140 mg/dl. He did so successfully 97-98% of the time over the month, and discusses some of the tricks he learned that help keep glucose in range over that time (HINT: walking 10-15 minutes after meals helps a lot!). He also shares hints about how to look at overall weight (it's the fat that matters, not simple weight), why it is not healthy to believe you must finish every bite of food put in front of you, and how all this relates to sleep and overall health. He also provides seeds for thought about ways manufacturers and providers might educate patients effectively on these issues. 00:53:11 - Expert: Summit Clinical Research Chief Academic Officer Naim AlkhouriThis interview occurred in late April during our episode celebrating Stephen Harrison. Naim chose this interview to annouce that he was joining Summit as Chief Academic Officer. The first part of this discussion focuses on Stephen on two levels: the personal history between Naim and Stephen and the nature of the contributions Stephen has made to the science of MASH, and particularly clinical trial design. The second part of the interview discusses Naim's new role, the diffrent kinds of teaching, training and medical education he sees as pivotal to the future of MASLD and MASH therapies, and the other elements of his new role. While discuss the role, he shares several bright, challenging insights about when MASH-ville is heading. 01:15:09 - ConclusionThe business report discusses vacations on the SurfingMASH team, upcoming episodes, and grateful notes from Ukrainian listeners.

Send us a textThis conversation is the second segment of SurfingMASH's coverage of the Global Think Tank on Steatotic Liver Diseases (#SLDThinkTank2025) held in Barcelona in June. It focuses on the kinds of feedback most likely to produce successful behavioral interventions.The conversation begins with Jörn discussing the Liver Screen Study, a "very ambitious effort" that starts with 30,000 members of the general European population, narrows down to a subgroup with liver disease, and then provides these individuals with information about MASLD and how to manage it, ultimately evaluating its impact. Many of these people did not know about liver disease before being informed they had it, and many changed their behavior as a result. Jörn links this to the EASL Amsterdam activity discussed last week in 6.7.1 and 6.7.2. Louise relates a story of speaking with Laurent Sandrin, Chairman of Echosens and inventor of FibroScan, who was "blown away by the reaction" to making FibroScans available and promoting this fact. Louise explained to Laurent that from her vantage point, FibroScan is "more than just the physical diagnostic. It has the power to engage populations," and, for many, provide the information and motivation they need to change behavior. Kristina describes how we can provide "biofeedback" like this, along with other behavioral strategies, to produce sustainable behavior change, which is far harder for an individual than simply reacting to a medical scare. She describes a model she deploys, the "Combi" model, which integrates an array of informational, motivational and behavioral items into an integrated, individualized approach. The conversation shifts to focus on environmental factors that work against long-term change. For someone with alcohol use disorder, this might be a family member who continues to consume large quantities of alcohol frequently. For someone living with obesity, it might be a favorite high-calorie dish...or even simply food advertising.In the final part of this conversation, Jörn states that the Think Tank steering committee invited politicians to help them understand why certain kinds of interventions — such as taxing medically harmful goods or limiting advertising — might be socially valuable, even if unpopular. The group discussed some governmental tactics that are effective and others that are not.

Real connection means understanding your audience, staying true to yourself, and creating space for others.How do you communicate who you are, what you stand for, and leave space for others to do the same? At the Stanford Seed Summit in Cape Town, South Africa, three GSB professors explored why real connection is built through authentic communication.For Jesper Sørensen, authentic organizational communication means talking about a business in ways customers or investors can understand, like using analogies to relate a new business model to one that people already know. For incoming GSB Dean Sarah Soule, authentic communication is about truth, not trends. Her research on "corporate confession" shows that companies build trust when they admit their shortcomings — but only if those admissions connect authentically to their core business. And for Christian Wheeler, authentic communication means suspending judgment of ourselves and others. “We have a tendency to rush to categorization, to assume that we understand things before we really do,” he says. “Get used to postponing judgment.”In this special live episode of Think Fast, Talk Smart, host Matt Abrahams and his panel of guests explore communication challenges for budding entrepreneurs. From the risks of comparing yourself to competitors to how your phone might undermine genuine connection, they reveal how authentic communication — whether organizational or personal — requires understanding your audience, staying true to your values, and creating space for others to be heard.Episode Reference Links:Jesper SørensenChristian WheelerSarah SouleEp.194 Live Lessons in Levity and Leadership: Me2We 2025 Part 1 Connect:Premium Signup >>>> Think Fast Talk Smart PremiumEmail Questions & Feedback >>> hello@fastersmarter.ioEpisode Transcripts >>> Think Fast Talk Smart WebsiteNewsletter Signup + English Language Learning >>> FasterSmarter.ioThink Fast Talk Smart >>> LinkedIn, Instagram, YouTubeMatt Abrahams >>> LinkedInChapters:(00:00) - Introduction (01:04) - Jesper Sørensen on Strategic Analogies (04:06) - Sarah Soule on Corporate Confessions (08:46) - Christian Wheeler on Spontaneity & Presence (12:06) - Panel Discussion: AI's Role in Research, Teaching, & Life (17:52) - Professors Share Current Projects (22:55) - Live Audience Q&A (32:53) - Conclusion *****This Episode is sponsored by Stanford.

What is Applied Behavior Science? Learning Theory? Why bother, if folks have been training dogs for more than 10,000 years? Irith and I get into all that and more in this episode on the science of behavior change!
Understanding your audience's psychology is the key to crafting communication that resonates.Persuading others isn't about magic spells or mind-reading tricks. According to Emily Falk, the real secret is simpler: know what your audience finds relevant, and you'll be able to craft a message that resonates.Falk is a professor of communication, psychology, and marketing at the University of Pennsylvania, Vice Dean of the Annenberg School of Communication, and director of the Communication Neuroscience Lab. In her book What We Value: The Neuroscience of Choice and Change, she reveals that our brains have what she calls a "social relevance system" — our ability to understand what other people are thinking and feeling. "I use social relevance as this kind of catchall for these thoughts about what other people are thinking and feeling, which also helps us predict what they're gonna do and how we might communicate successfully with them," she explains.In this episode of Think Fast, Talk Smart, Falk and host Matt Abrahams explore how to put this insight into practice, from the power of storytelling to leveraging "neural synchrony" to create shared understanding. Whether you're motivating a team or influencing a customer, Falk offers science-backed strategies for tapping into your audience's psychology and communicating with relevance.Episode Reference Links:Emily FalkEmily's Book: What We ValueEp.39 Brains Love Stories: How Leveraging Neuroscience Can Capture People's EmotionsEp.188 Mind Reading 101: To Know What Your Audience Thinks, Just Ask Connect:Premium Signup >>>> Think Fast Talk Smart PremiumEmail Questions & Feedback >>> hello@fastersmarter.ioEpisode Transcripts >>> Think Fast Talk Smart WebsiteNewsletter Signup + English Language Learning >>> FasterSmarter.ioThink Fast Talk Smart >>> LinkedIn, Instagram, YouTubeMatt Abrahams >>> LinkedInChapters:(00:00) - Introduction (02:47) - Neuroscience & Behavior Prediction (04:05) - Brain Systems in Persuasion (05:28) - Tailoring Messages for Impact (08:06) - Psychological Closeness & Relevance (10:34) - Power of Storytelling (13:48) - Neural Synchrony & Shared Meaning (15:33) - Better Conversations Through Sync (20:11) - Rapid-Fire Q&A with Emily Falk (24:23) - Conclusion ********This Episode is brought to you by Strawberry.me.

Great ideas often die, not because they're wrong, but because no one knows how to influence others to act on them. In leading today's complex organizations, it's not enough to be right. The real challenge for leaders is getting people to change behavior, and stay changed. In this episode, we sit down with Joseph Grenny, co-author of Crucial Conversations and one of the world's leading experts on influence and behavior change, to unpack the science and strategy behind lasting behavior change using his powerful Six Sources of Influence framework. We explore the difference between persuasion and true influence, why most change efforts fail, and how even well-intentioned leaders often rely on the wrong tools—like incentives or policies—when they should be focusing on motivation, social systems, and structural design. Joseph shares real-world stories, including how The Other Side Academy transformed the lives of former felons without a single failed drug test in over a decade. We also look at corporate examples, such as how to pitch ideas internally, how to harness peer pressure the right way, diagnose resistance to change, and why influence always begins with empathy, not authority. ________________ Start your day with the world's top leaders by joining thousands of others at Great Leadership on Substack.

In this episode I speak with behavioral economist Dr. Katie Milkman who breaks down the powerful concepts of friction, nudge, and sludge that fundamentally shape how professionals make decisions in healthcare, finance, and education. Milkman, author of "How to Change: The Science of Getting from Where you Are to Where you Want to Be" and co-founder of the Behavior Change for Good Initiative, reveals how choice architecture influences everything from patient compliance to retirement savings, explaining why good intentions often fail and how smart design can bridge the intention-action gap. Katy explains how removing friction and eliminating sludge can dramatically improve outcomes for physicians treating chronic diseases, leaders implementing organizational change, and designers creating user experiences that actually work. This research-backed discussion provides actionable insights for social scientists, healthcare professionals, and decision-makers who want to understand the psychology behind behavior change and apply evidence-based strategies to improve professional and patient outcomes in their respective fields.

Have you ever wanted to just start over, to hit control, alt, delete on your life and start from scratch? A few years ago, my wife Mel and I asked ourselves a terrifying question: What if we let it all go and started over?

But here's the thing: understanding why your brain does this actually makes the whole process less terrifying and more manageable. If you've ever wondered why you keep going back to old habits even when you know better, this episode will help you understand what's really happening inside your head.
