Você nos ajuda demais não só quando ouve, mas também quando espalha episódios para familiares, amigos - e, por que não?, inimigos.A segunda mensagem é: existe uma outra forma de apoiar o Naruhodo, a ciência e o pensamento científico - apoiando financeiramente o nosso projeto de podcast semanal independente, que só descansa no recesso do fim de ano.Manter o Naruhodo tem custos e despesas: servidores, domínio, pesquisa, produção, edição, atendimento, tempo... Enfim, muitas coisas para cobrir - e, algumas delas, em dólar.A gente sabe que nem todo mundo pode apoiar financeiramente. E tá tudo bem. Tente mandar um episódio para alguém que você conhece e acha que vai gostar.A gente sabe que alguns podem, mas não mensalmente. E tá tudo bem também. Você pode apoiar quando puder e cancelar quando quiser. O apoio mínimo é de 15 reais e pode ser feito pela plataforma ORELO ou pela plataforma APOIA-SE. Para quem está fora do Brasil, temos até a plataforma PATREON.É isso, gente. Estamos enfrentando um momento importante e você pode ajudar a combater o negacionismo e manter a chama da ciência acesa. Então, fica aqui o nosso convite: apóie o Naruhodo como puder.bit.ly/naruhodo-no-orelo

In this episode of the Mental Healness Podcast, Lee Hammock interviews Dr. Sharon Niv, a cognitive psychologist and co-founder of Joyous PBC, about the transformative potential of low-dose ketamine therapy. They discuss the differences between psycholytic and psychedelic states, the therapeutic benefits of ketamine for anxiety and depression, and the importance of creating a safe space for emotional exploration. Dr. Niv emphasizes the need for accessibility in mental health care and the potential for ketamine to help individuals break through emotional barriers and achieve greater self-awareness and resilience.Sharon Niv, Ph.D. is a cognitive psychologist exploring how contemplative and therapeutic methods can reshape mental wellness. Her work spans mindfulness, cognitive science, and the psychology of consciousness, with a special focus on how altered or expanded states of mind can promote emotional growth and resilience.In 2022, Sharon co-founded Joyous PBC, a public benefit company dedicated to making mental health care more affordable and accessible through low-dose, or psycholytic, approaches to ketamine treatment. At Joyous, she leads clinical research, designs digital therapeutics optimized for the psycholytic state, and developed Joyous for Therapists—a free training and collaboration program helping clinicians integrate these methods safely into their practice.Sharon is passionate about bringing new insight to the conversation on mental health: how lighter-touch, more personalized approaches to psychoactive medicine can unlock self-understanding, compassion, and long-term healing. She hopes to share with your audience how cognitive mechanisms of psycholytic and psychedelic medicine can inform a new era of personalized, evidence-based mental wellness.You Can Find Dr. Niv here:⁠https://joyous.team/therapy ⁠⁠sharonniv.substack.com⁠⁠https://www.linkedin.com/in/sharon-niv/⁠Want to be on the podcast? ⁠⁠https://tinyurl.com/Mental-Healness-Podcast-Form⁠⁠Contact Me - ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://link.me/mentalhealness⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠I'm Lee & I've been diagnosed with narcissistic personality disorder ( NPD ).

They break down the research, explain the leadership needs of ADHD brains, and outline why overtalking, overprocessing, and overnegotiating increase dysregulation rather than calming it.Find Mike @ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠www.grownowadhd.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ & on ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠IG⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Find Ryan @ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠www.adhddude.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ & on ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Youtube⁠⁠⁠{{chapters}}[00:00:00] Start[00:00:46] Rise of emotional-validation parenting[00:01:58] Why emotional processing overwhelms ADHD brains[00:02:48] ADHD kids' need for clear leadership and hierarchy[00:05:20] How “armchair therapy” increases dysregulation[00:07:07] Why too much talking makes tasks feel bigger[00:08:29] Non-hierarchical relationships and rising anxiety[00:10:08] Impact of inconsistent leadership[00:12:26] Comfort-zone parenting and avoidance[00:13:58] The “four D's” and building flexibility[00:15:48] How avoidance worsens anxiety and rigidity[00:17:13] How guidance—not rescue—builds confidence[00:18:16] Three core takeaways for ADHD parentsCitations:Baumrind, D.

When's the last time you took a hard look at your own side? Political columnist and foreign policy expert Shadi Hamid joins Uncomfy to talk about the difficult, often painful process of changing your mind — especially when it means challenging the people on your own side. Hamid, once an outspoken critic of American power and an anti-war activist, now argues the opposite in his new book, “The Case for American Power.” In this episode, he opens up about: - His post-9/11 political awakening - Why he went from protesting U.S. power to believing it's sometimes the only moral option - Cognitive dissonance around U.S. foreign policy - Why progressives shouldn't give up on influencing American power from within - How we can disagree deeply while still living together in a democracy Shadi Hamid's new book, “The Case for American Power” - https://www.simonandschuster.com/books/The-Case-for-American-Power/Shadi-Hamid/9781668031889 Episode transcript - https://uncomfypodcastbyu.blogspot.com/2025/12/from-anti-war-activist-to-defender-of.html CHAPTERS 00:00 Introduction 00:45 Introducing Shadi Hamid 01:34 Shadi Hamid's Formative Years and Political Awakening 04:23 The Evolution of Shadi Hamid's Views on American Power 07:37 The Role of Identity and Experience in Shadi Hamid's Perspective 11:08 A Call to Action for Progressives 15:39 Conclusion

In this episode - which is on a topic very dear to my heart - I chat with Dr Sabina Brennan – health psychologist, neuroscientist, host of the Super Brain podcast, author of Still Me, Beating Brain Fog, and 100 Days to a Younger Brain – about shifting dementia care from a disease-centered approach to a person-centred partnership.   We discuss the idea of a ‘care partner' rather than ‘carer' and practical strategies for maintaining brain health across midlife and into older age. We dive into cognitive reserve, modifiable dementia risk factors, and how to support both the person with dementia and those caring for them, with an emphasis on curiosity, autonomy, and joy.   Key topics      - Sabina's new book Still Me blends professional knowledge with personal experience caring for her own mother with dementia.   - The shift from “carer” to “care partner” to support autonomy and reduce paternalism.   - The importance of allowing people with dementia to participate in decisions that affect their day-to-day life.   - The risk of disempowerment when we do tasks for the person rather than with them.   - Understanding different dementia trajectories and the role of family in decision making.   - Cognitive reserve and how engaging the brain can delay symptom onset (reserves of brain function can delay symptoms even with pathology present).   - The 14 modifiable risk factors (including obesity, smoking, hearing loss, social isolation, depression) and how lifestyle changes help brain health.   - The brain–heart health link: heart health, diet, exercise, and the risk of cognitive decline.   - The value of social engagement and mentally stimulating activities for a healthy brain.   - The problematic role of isolation and the importance of meaningful social connections.   - Don't force diagnoses on someone who isn't ready; plan for the future with nuance and care.   - Encouraging curiosity about the person's experiences and responses.   - Advice for those newly diagnosed, including gradual acceptance, planning, finances, and power of attorney. Plus, the really lovely idea of creating a notebook of preferences to honour the person's likes and dislikes whilst they still have agency.

Jarrod Gies brings more than just sales wisdom to the table; he's also a dedicated fitness coach, kickboxing instructor, and advocate for the powerful connection between physical fitness and professional success. Jarrod shares practical insights on how routines like morning walks, strength training, and mindful meal prepping are not just good for the body but are vital boosters for energy, focus, and resilience in high-pressure sales roles. He explains how discipline in the gym translates directly to discipline in the office, and why making time for recovery and hydration is just as crucial as closing deals. Grab your water bottle and get ready for an episode that could transform both your life and your pipeline. Outline of This Episode [05:05] Why timing your workout benefits your mood. [07:56] The impact of hydration and nutrition on your health. [10:26] Jarrod's tips for an effective recovery routine. [11:07] Why fitness is the foundation for your success. [14:18] A personal story of how taking care of his health improved Jarrod's work performance. [16:45] Fitness isn't just about the gym, it's about maximising every aspect of life. Building the Positive Feedback Loop Jarrod frames the relationship between physical fitness and sales performance as a "positive feedback loop." Energy and productivity drawn from regular exercise boost stamina and reduce fatigue, setting sales professionals up for higher daily outputs. The discipline necessary for a successful sales career supports consistency with fitness routines. Jarrod breaks down how fitness reinforces: Stress management and resilience: Exercise reduces stress hormones and helps salespeople recover more quickly from the daily pressures of quotas, targets, and objections. Cognitive performance: A strong body supports a sharp mind, meaning crisper thinking, better decision-making, and more effective selling. Confidence under pressure: Physical training fosters self-confidence, making it easier to handle difficult negotiations or challenging clients. Discipline and habits: Consistency in fitness translates directly to consistency in following up, prospecting, and closing sales. Jarrod's Winning Wellness Routines for Sales Professionals Rather than adopting extreme programs, Jarrod champions sustainable, high-impact habits: Morning Workouts for Mental Clarity: Starting the day with a strength session sets the tone for focus, goal-setting, and enthusiasm. Exercise triggers endorphin release, providing an energy boost that carries into morning calls and meetings. Prioritizing Hydration and Nutrition: Jarrod emphasizes the importance of starting the day with water and a balanced breakfast that includes protein, complex carbohydrates, and healthy fats. Meal planning and prep prevent reliance on quick (and often unhealthy) fixes that can lead to energy crashes during critical selling hours. Recovery and Sleep: Recovery is as essential as rigorous workouts. Quality rest, stretching, and downtime allow both the mind and body to recharge, reducing the risk of burnout and chronic fatigue. Health Is the Foundation, Not an Extra One of Jarrod's core messages challenges the all-too-common habit of sacrificing health for what feels like higher productivity. Neglecting well-being leads to low energy, poor focus, and higher absenteeism. By making fitness and self-care top priorities, sales professionals not only feel better and live healthier but also gain measurable improvements in daily output and long-term sales performance. Jarrod's own experiences powerfully illustrate the sales-fitness connection. Early in his career, poor eating and lack of exercise led to midday fatigue and fewer client visits. Adopting healthier habits resulted in more calls per day, higher energy, and a measurable spike in sales numbers. Even during career disruptions, returning to a structured fitness routine provided the anchor needed to restore focus and productivity at work. Fitness isn't just about sculpting bodies or hitting PRs; it's about building a foundation for sustained high performance in sales and in life. For anyone looking to excel in sales, making health and fitness a core part of your routine isn't just advisable; it's essential.

Welcome to Chatter with BNC, Business North Carolina's weekly podcast, serving up interviews with some of the Tar Heel State's most interesting people. On today's episode, Ben Kinney speaks with Tim Walsh, Banking, Analytics and Cognitive Principal at Deloitte and Chair of the Dean's Advisory Board at UNC Charlotte. Tim shares his journey from his first university hire in advanced analytics to building Deloitte's data and analytics practice in Charlotte over two decades ago. The conversation explores the dynamic state of banking today, from the surge in M&A activity among regional banks to innovation in products like stablecoins and tokenized deposits following the Genius Act. Tim also discusses Charlotte's remarkable growth as a banking talent hub and UNC Charlotte's forward-thinking approach to computing education, including its standalone College of Computing and Informatics, pioneering undergraduate data science program, and 26-year-old cybersecurity symposium that attracts national and international speakers.

At KubeCon North America 2025, GitLab's Emilio Salvador outlined how developers are shifting from individual coders to leaders of hybrid human–AI teams. He envisions developers evolving into “cognitive architects,” responsible for breaking down large, complex problems and distributing work across both AI agents and humans. Complementing this is the emerging role of the “AI guardian,” reflecting growing skepticism around AI-generated code. Even as AI produces more code, humans remain accountable for reviewing quality, security, and compliance.Salvador also described GitLab's “AI paradox”: developers may code faster with AI, but overall productivity stalls because testing, security, and compliance processes haven't kept pace. To fix this, he argues organizations must apply AI across the entire development lifecycle, not just in coding. GitLab's Duo Agent Platform aims to support that end-to-end transformation.Looking ahead, Salvador predicts the rise of a proactive “meta agent” that functions like a full team member. Still, he warns that enterprise adoption remains slow and advises organizations to start small, build skills, and scale gradually.Learn more from The New Stack about the evolving role of "cognitive architects":The Engineer in the AI Age: The Orchestrator and ArchitectThe New Role of Enterprise Architecture in the AI EraThe Architect's Guide to Understanding Agentic AIJoin our community of newsletter subscribers to stay on top of the news and at the top of your game.  Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Recorded at the BASICS Conference 2025, Iain talks with Haldon “Hutch” Hutchinson-Basley about the idea of a “cognitive HALO” — those rare moments where your mental bandwidth hits maximum power. Hutch describes a traumatic cardiac arrest he encountered alone, with no warning and no crewmate to share the load. He explains how he recognised cognitive overload and used simple strategies — “lighting a flare”, “norming the abnormal”, and dropping tasks he couldn't safely achieve — to regain decision-making space. The discussion links this experience to his work on the ATACC course and the emerging SPEAR programme, exploring how realistic, human-centred simulation prepares clinicians to function when the stakes and stress are highest.

Pressure, perfectionism, and overthinking—three traits that quietly sabotage golfers chasing freedom on the course. In this conversation, Andrew Reynolds, cognitive performance coach and founder of The COG Coach, breaks down what it truly means to play with freedom—and why most golfers never achieve it. He shares how to design practice that mirrors real pressure, add consequence to every rep, and build process-driven routines that hold up when the stakes rise. We explore the hidden cost of mental fatigue, how to protect cognitive energy over 18 holes, and the psychological "skill-development lag" that frustrates so many golfers chasing progress. Andrew also explains the three-step framework to reframe destructive self-talk, find safety in discomfort, and make your best golf automatic under pressure—whether you're grinding for your first club championship or a tour card. In this episode, you'll learn: What "playing with freedom" actually means—and how to create it on demand How to add consequence to practice so it transfers under pressure The accountability hacks that keep you in the hard reps (where skill grows) A simple blueprint for durable pre-shot and pre-round routines How to spot and reframe irrational self-talk in real time Managing cognitive energy and decision fatigue across 18 holes Why process beats results—and how to believe it when scores matter Get your pencils ready and start listening.  P.S.

Add consequence: Games with "must-complete" tasks (e.g., 3 fairways in a row) simulate tournament feels. Quality beats quantity: Short, intense, focused sessions > marathon ball-beating. Protect cognitive energy: Strong routines reduce decision fatigue and steady your state under stress. Reframe the story: Emotions come from interpretation; catch absolutes ("always/never") and replace them with rational truth. Calibrate emotion: Even "negative" emotions can be adaptive when properly dialed. Detach from score: Commit to the shot in front of you; outcome improves as a byproduct. Key Quotes: "Make practice look like the golf course, not the course look like practice." "Consequence is the fastest way to simulate pressure." "The hard, uncomfortable reps are where skill is actually built." "Pick a target, visualize, commit—that's the billboard I'd put on every tee." "It's not the first tee that makes you anxious; it's the story you tell yourself about it." "Process is part of outcome—not something separate from it." "There's a skill-development lag: keep going through it instead of restarting with a new method."

National security and intelligence expert Professor Armin Krishnan returns to the program to break down the rapidly expanding world of directed-energy weapons—systems once written off as science fiction that are now actively shaping modern conflict. He explains how microwave, electromagnetic, and acoustic weapons have moved from experimental prototypes to commercially booming tools of warfare, driven by governments and private defense contractors alike. These technologies are no longer theoretical; they are part of an accelerating global arms race.Krishnan also warns that today's battlefield is no longer limited to militaries. Civilians are increasingly the targets, whether in political hotspots, urban environments, or covert operations where deniability is essential. We explore how this shift in warfare—from fighting soldiers to influencing, disabling, or monitoring populations—signals a profound transformation in national security. This is a conversation for anyone who wants to understand the future of conflict and the technologies quietly reshaping it.See Armin Kirshnan's books including his most recent "Havana Syndrome: A Threat to National Security" at https://www.amazon.com/s?k=armin+kirshnan&i=digital-text&crid=2AM4B6N48QFED&sprefix=armin+kirshnan%2Cdigital-text%2C127&ref=nb_sb_noss_1Links and Offers:See exclusives at https://SarahWestall.Substack.comProtect your assets with a company you can trust - Get the private & better price list - Go to https://SarahWestall.com/MilesFranklinMasterpeace: Protect your body, Remove Heavy Metals including Graphene Oxide and Plastics, and learn more about removing MAC IDs at https://masterpeacebyhcs.com/shop/?ref=11308Copyright Disclaimer Under Section 107 of the Copyright Act 1976, allowance is made for "fair use" for purposes such as criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching, scholarship, and research.

In this powerful continuation from last week's episode, Kevin expands the analogy of life as a game and reveals why psychological warfare isn't just a tactic used by others - it is the structure of the game itself. In a world made of energy, narrative, repetition, and belief, the true battlefield is not physical but cognitive. And the antidote - the only antidote - is cognitive mastery.Kevin begins by reframing the physical world as the byproduct, the “spice,” of a deeper energetic and consciousness-based reality. While life appears to unfold in space and time, the real game is psychological, and the pieces on the board are narratives, information, perception, and belief. From the Age of Aquarius to the accelerated revelation of truth, Kevin explains how modern culture exposes its mechanisms everywhere - from Hollywood films to the news cycle to the design of the systems we live in.He revisits the illusory truth effect, a cognitive phenomenon proven by research showing that anything repeated often enough - true or false - becomes “truer” simply through familiarity. That repeated exposure forms neural pathways which harden into beliefs, even when later evidence contradicts them. And without cognitive mastery, the C-line of your model becomes an open gate, allowing the world to write your T-line for you.To show how deep this goes, Kevin walks through three pillars of the matrix: government, religion, and corporations. Using bold, historically grounded examples, he demonstrates how narratives become mass conditioning. From the Gulf of Tonkin to the JFK assassination, he illustrates how national stories shape perception long after their factual foundations have fallen away. He compares modern political and media structures to The Hunger Games, cautioning listeners not to confuse narrative with lived reality.From there, he shifts to religion - particularly the Abrahamic traditions - discussing how language, translation, withheld information, and ideological frameworks created an unseen but omnipresent narrative structure shaping Western consciousness. He introduces the “Redeemer Complex,” a narrative so ingrained in Western culture that it becomes the invisible water we swim in - impossible to see without stepping outside of it.Kevin then turns to corporations, explaining how marketing and advertising use psychology, repetition, and scarcity narratives to engineer desire, identity, and behavior. He breaks down the “Rule of Seven” and how companies leverage cognitive patterns to make their story feel like your own internal truth.Throughout, Kevin emphasizes that none of this is about vilifying systems or people. The matrix is neutral - even supportive. It exists as a compensatory mechanism for unconsciousness, a form of grace within the human game. The goal is not rebellion but awareness, not resistance but mastery.Your liberation lies in one thing: elevating your alpha, mastering your mind, and choosing your own narrative. No story outside of you is true - unless you accept it. Cognitive mastery is how you become in the world, but not of it.

Ever caught yourself defending a dumb idea just to look smart? That's your ego controlling your brain. Cognitive biases and ego team up to screw your decisions daily. Picture this: confirmation bias has you cherry-picking facts that stroke your self-image, while ego whispers you're too smart for mistakes. Spot the traps like Dunning-Kruger (overestimating skill) or sunk cost fallacy (throwing good money after bad). Takehomes: Point at one bias daily: "Am I ignoring counter-evidence like a muscly Irishman blocking the door?" Test decisions: Can you drop it on your foot? If abstract, make it concrete now. Audit ego weekly: List three "wins" that were actually luck—kill the illusion. Hit play and arm yourself against yourself today. SPONSORS

Computer science professor and bestselling author Cal Newport explains why cognitive fitness matters as much as physical fitness for elite performance. Drawing from his work with NBA teams and hedge fund managers, Newport breaks down the connection between attention control and exceptional achievement. He challenges the myth that social media grows your audience, revealing that craft—not constant self-promotion—drives lasting success. The conversation explores why our social brain can't process text-based connection, the engineering behind platform addiction, and how working backwards from deeply held values creates lasting behavioral change. Newport introduces the concept of "analog social media," explains why privacy debates distract from the real harm of digital overuse, and shares why protecting your cognitive resources from being bled out "one steam whistle tweet at a time" is essential for producing meaningful work.
