PICKLEBALL THERAPY  ·  SHOW NOTESEpisode 304 – Tap Your Flow What this episode is aboutFlow is not something you go out and acquire. It is already in you. This week I make the case for that, and then I show you what the work for finding your flow actually is.Do you already have flow? Yes.Picture yourself waiting to return serve. The serve gets hit. What happens next is remarkable, and you do it without thinking about it:•     Your brain tracks a ball spinning through space•     It calculates where that ball will be at a moment in the future•     It moves your body to that place in space•     You hit the ballYou were doing that before your first lesson. Before your first pickleball YouTube video. Nobody taught you. That is your supercomputer running software that came pre-installed.So what is the work?Removing interference. Taking away the noise. Clearing out the distractions and obstacles so that you can stop trying to think your way through the rally and start feeling the rally instead.Playing by feel more than by thought.One example of interference: trying to read paddle anglesPlayers ask about this a lot. How can I learn to read my opponent's paddle at contact so that I know where the ball is going? It's a fair question.To be sure, some coaches teach it. But think about what you are actually asking yourself to do. You are moving. You are tracking the rally. And now you want to also read a paddle face at the moment of contact.There is a better way. When the ball travels to one side of the court, you start to sense where it is likely to go next. Will you get surprised? Sure. Once, maybe twice. Then your brain adjusts. That is flow doing the work instead of your conscious mind.Watch the pros. It looks like they are gliding. They always seem to be where they need to be. They are sensing the rally.Pickleball is musicThere is a rhythm to a rally. Learn to hear it and move with it, and you are in flow. That idea sits at the center of what we are doing in the Flow Project.The Flow ProjectFive weeks. Five bite-sized chunks. Focused on your mechanics.Here is why it works: you have probably already tried the frontal approach to learning pickleball. You want a better third shot drop, so you watch 87 videos and take 32 clinics on the third shot drop. Fine. Let's come at it from a different angle. That's what the flow project is all about.No cost.

A pickleball player who wants to grow in the sport. Period.On the question of whether the pro work I've been doing lately means a pivot away from amateur coaching: no. Commentating Major League Pickleball and the PPA, and coaching pro players, increases my knowledge of the game and keeps me current. I bring that back here. Not a pivot.

Not all work happens in writing. Teams that work with photos, videos, and audio need AI that works for them too. This is why, with Dropbox, you can search within multimedia content for key moments and important information—not just text. In this episode, we talk with Appu Shaji and Hicham Badri, two Dropbox machine learning engineers who are part of the team that makes all of this possible. They explain how multimodal search works—from understanding the context of the initial query, to identifying objects and actions in complex scenes—and how they ensure those models work fast, even at Dropbox-scale. ~ ~ ~  Working Smarter is brought to you by Dropbox.

What does it mean to be so absorbed in the presence of God that everything else fades? In this message, Pastor Casey unpacks "flow state" as a picture of life in the Spirit — tracing three rivers through Scripture, from the quiet, personal place of being planted by the water, to the corporate river that flows out from the church into a dying world, to the eternal river that never runs dry. Come ready to ask: how deep in the river are you?

Check out the full episode: https://greatness.lnk.to/1949DM Colin O'Brady's sled strap snapped before he even took his first step in Antarctica. Minus 25 degrees. Alone. Racing a British special forces vet already disappearing over the horizon. Colin started sweating within the hour. Then crying. The tears froze to his face. He called his wife Jenna from the ice. She didn't tell him to quit. She told him to focus on one thing. Get to the first waypoint. Half a mile away. That night in his tent, a mantra came to him out of nowhere. You are strong. You are capable. He said it out loud every morning for the next 54 days. Day one, he barely made it. Day two, eight miles. Day three, nine miles and his first real minute of flow. Even having multiple world records to his name, Colin still wakes up scared most days. This story is about what he does with that fear, not how he gets rid of it.

You know the feeling. Time bends. The work moves through you rather than from you. Self-consciousness drops away and something quieter, more capable, takes over. Psychologist Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi called it flow. Neuroscientists call it transient hypofrontality. Athletes call it the zone. Whatever name you use, the experience is unmistakable, and the brain state behind it is measurable: elevated alpha and theta waves, a quieting of the prefrontal cortex, and a whole-brain integration that most of us can access only occasionally, and rarely on demand.This Vibe Drop is built to change that.Crystal singing bowls tuned to 432 Hz carry a note progression drawn from the creativity and motivation protocols of precision sound therapy, with intervals selected for their documented effects on the autonomic nervous system, cognitive activation, and the release of nitric oxide and endogenous opiates that accompany deep harmonic resonance. Himalayan singing bowls add warmth and support heart rate variability, creating the physiological calm the body needs to allow focus to deepen rather than strain. Beneath all of it, a continuous 40 Hz gamma isochronic pulse anchors the session neurologically, the same frequency range identified in landmark research at MIT as a driver of neural integration, cognitive resilience, and long-term brain health.This is not background music. It is a precisely composed neuroacoustic environment, designed with the same rigor we bring to everything in the Restorative Audio catalog.Put on headphones. Set an intention.

There's a moment every creator knows: you sit down to work and the air feels thick. The task is right there, but your mind fights, judges, delays, and tightens. We call that “the wall,” and we treat it as what it often is: a nervous system stuck in low-grade threat, where your brain keeps scanning instead of creating. We start with a bigger frame for Chronic Disease Awareness Day and National Wellness Month, linking chronic inflammation, metabolic dysregulation, cognitive erosion, and immune suppression to years of accumulated stress and fragmentation. Then we make the case for coherence: the trainable skill of returning to balance so your attention can drop into deep engagement. Flow state isn't magic or motivation, it's a brain and body that feel safe enough to stop monitoring and start moving. From there, we break down the Flow State sound architecture in detail: 40 Hz gamma for integration and cognitive clarity, layered with 396 Hz, 528 Hz, 741 Hz, and 852 Hz to support liberation, repair, mental sharpness, and expanded perception. We explain why crystal singing bowls, Tibetan singing bowls, and drums are used, how rhythmic entrainment changes state, and why the C E G triad is chosen as a stable, grounding container for action and expression. You'll also get simple listening protocols for creative prep, high-stakes performance, deep work, breaking through a mid-project stall, and end-of-day reflection. If you want your best work to feel less like force and more like flow, press play with us, then share this with someone who's been stuck. Subscribe, leave a review, and tell us when you hit the wall most often and what you're creating next.Send us Fan MailSupport the show

Have you ever found yourself in a steady, productive rhythm of doing something that feels seemingly effortless, yielding effective, consistent results?In this special solo episode, Aubrey talks about a phenomenon most of us know, but few can fully describe: Flow State - that synergy between input, action, and output. Also referred to as being "In the Zone" or "On Auto-Pilot", Aubrey discusses:Where flow state startsTwo important components of flow stateHandling the reality of distractions and mental blocksand How to return to flow state

The band Phish has toured for over 40 years. One of the draws of their legendary live shows—which can go on for 8 hours—is finding moments of “flow,” when the band members lock into an improvised jam, finding new musical ideas in real time. Phish fans live for these transcendent moments, but so do the musicians—to the point that Mike Gordon, the band's bass player, is funding scientific research to better understand flow state. In November 2025, Host Flora Lichtman sat down with Mike and his research collaborator, neuroscientist Greg Appelbaum, to unpack their research so far and how it's helping to inform other neuroscience. Guests: Mike Gordon is bassist and co-founder of the seminal improvisational rock band Phish.  Dr. Greg Appelbaum is a professor in the department of psychiatry at the University of California, San Diego.  A transcript for this episode is available at sciencefriday.com.

There's a reservoir of untapped potential inside you right now. The only question is whether you'll reach it. Colin O'Brady is the first person in history to cross Antarctica solo, completely unsupported and unaided, covering nearly 1,000 miles alone in 54 days while pulling a 375-pound sled through temperatures reaching minus 80 degrees wind chill. He's also a world record holder for the Explorers Grand Slam, having completed all Seven Summits and expeditions to both poles in 139 consecutive days -- a project he called The Impossible First. Before any of that, he was a 22-year-old backpacker in Thailand with 25% of his body severely burned, told by doctors he might never walk normally again. What pulled him through was a single visualization exercise, a mother who refused to let him see his own darkness, and a goal set from a hospital bed he had no business believing in. What you'll hear in this conversation is how he trained his mind more than his body, how flow states carried him through 32 consecutive hours on the final push across Antarctica, and what a four-word mantra repeated every morning for 54 days can actually do to a human being.

The guys do a deep dive

Ever have one of those workouts where everything just clicks? Your technique feels solid, your reps are smooth, and time seems to disappear. That's called a flow state, and it can make your training more effective and a lot more enjoyable.The secret isn't chasing new exercises or constantly changing programs. It's building familiarity with your training while continuing to challenge yourself just enough to grow. When you're comfortable with your routine, you can focus your energy on improving performance instead of figuring out what to do next.Before each workout, ask yourself: “How can I level things up just a little today?” Maybe it's an extra rep, better range of motion, or cleaner technique. Small improvements create the challenge needed for progress while keeping you in the zone.Stop chasing novelty and start building depth. Master the basics, challenge yourself consistently, and you'll unlock more motivation, better workouts, and greater results over time.

Have you ever finished a presentation, race, meeting or performance and someone asked, "How did it go?" only to realise you can barely remember it? Not because you failed but because you were completely immersed.Dr Sue Jackson is one of the world's leading researchers on flow and co-authored the defining book on the subject alongside the man who first named it, Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi.Sue takes you inside one of the most sought-after and least understood states in human performance.Why do some moments feel effortless while others feel like a grind? Why can pressure elevate performance one day and destroy it the next? And why do some of our best performances seem to happen when we stop trying so hard to force them?Using examples ranging from Olympic athletes to Wallabies captain Harry Wilson's match-winning moment against Argentina, Sue explores why some performances feel effortless, why pressure can either sharpen or derail us, and why trying harder isn't always the answer.This is about attention, confidence, pressure, preparation and the hidden conditions behind extraordinary performance.Because flow isn't something you find.

Today we're excited to kick off a brand new series: Building for Good with G$, where we will explore the people, projects, and communities powering the GoodDollar Ecosystem. We're thankful to our friends at GoodDollar for partnering on this series, and in the coming episodes, we're going to take you deep inside one of the most interesting ecosystems in the Web3 for good space, exploring everything from universal basic income to public goods funding, and the builders and communities creating real value on the ground.So let me start with a quick introduction for anyone who's new to GoodDollar. It is a protocol delivering digital universal basic income to people all over the world. Since launching, it's distributed its G$ token to about 1M people across the globe, many of them in underserved and emerging markets, simply for being part of the network. The vision has always been about using crypto to redistribute opportunity and give people access to the financial system.GoodDollar is also in the middle of an evolution. What started purely as a UBI project is growing into something bigger: a full ecosystem where G$ doesn't just get distributed, it circulates. It flows through builders, communities, and public goods, creating value and opportunity along the way. It's a shift from simply giving people a token, to building an entire economy around it.At the heart of that shift is a program called GoodBuilders, which funds the builders expanding the GoodDollar ecosystem. What's particularly interesting is how GoodBuilders is funded. Rather than the traditional grant model, where you apply, wait, and hope for a one-time check, GoodBuilders uses streaming funding through a platform called FlowState, where money flows to builders continuously over time.For Episode 1 in this new series, I'm super excited to be joined by Meri Fernández Sancho and Rael Kilonzo of  GoodDollar, and Graven Prest of FlowState to introduce the partnership, walk through the outcomes of GoodBuilders Season 3, highlight some of the most exciting projects in the ecosystem, and explore why this streaming funding model can be a blueprint that other ecosystems and communities adopt for themselves.In today's discussion you'll discover

When we talk about mythic fiction, it's easy to assume mythic stories are created through familiar ingredients: archetypes, symbolism, old myths, epic structure. But I don't think that's where mythic storytelling begins. In this post/podcast, I explore seven practices and mindsets that help writers reconnect with what the lost art of mythmaking--not just  borrowing of old symbolic forms, but accessing the deeper creative process from which meaningful stories emerge in the first place. We talk about: • Why mythic stories often feel like they come *through* us rather than *from* us • How dreamzoning and flow states support deeper storytelling • Why "shoulds" can block archetypal imagination • How asking questions opens access to mythic resonance • The deeper shape beneath story structure • Why confronting the shadows matters for writers • How mythic storytelling functions as transformation and initiation Mythic fiction isn't just a genre or an aesthetic. At its deepest level, it is a way of relating to story itself. If you've ever wanted to write stories that feel more alive, more resonant, or more meaningful, but weren't sure how to move beyond technique alone, this conversation offers a practical place to begin. 01:50 What Is Mythic Fiction? 02:34 What Mythic Fiction Is Not 04:07 What Mythic Fiction Is 05:12 The Lost Art of Mythmaking 06:31 Practice #1: Entering the Flow State 08:49 Practice #2: Clear the "Shoulds" That Block Archetypal Imagination 09:58 Practice #3: Ask Questions Instead of Arriving With Answers 11:32 Practice #4: Study the Deeper Shape Beneath Story Structure 12:56 Practice #5: Study the Stories That Create Mythic Resonance 15:07 Practice #6: Be Fearless Enough to Enter the Shadows 17:11 Practice #7: Approach Archetypal Storytelling With Humility and Responsibility 18:16 Learning How to Imagine Better 19:22 Writing Masterclass: Alchemizing Plot, Character, and Theme Read the transcript: https://helpingwritersbecomeauthors.com/how-to-write-mythic-fiction-practices LINKS & RESOURCES Want More?

We'll talk about: • Aligning inner and outer arcs  • Creating stories that feel alive from the inside out  • Integrating plot, character, and theme organically  • Writing stories with greater depth and cohesion

Deri Llewellyn-Davies, Strategist & Board Advisor and Founder of Freedom Founders, explains that peak performance is a state problem, not a motivation problem — you shift it by choosing flow, focus, peak, recovery, and connect states through breathwork, phone-free mornings, and purpose. He shares flow research showing 500% productivity gains from two protected morning hours, and why burnout stems from values misalignment rather than workload.

The Flow State and Grit

Most leaders think better performance comes from working harder. Dr. Murray Heber argues that mindset may be a much bigger factor than effort. In this episode of The Executive Commute, Jayson Krause and Dr. Murray Heber explore the science of flow state, why high performers burn out, and how leaders can create the conditions for peak performance without relying on constant pressure. They discuss the difference between playing to win and playing not to lose, why curiosity is one of the most powerful tools available to leaders, and how confusion can sometimes be the pattern interrupt needed to break cycles of stress, anxiety, and overthinking. This conversation explores: what flow state actually is why grinding eventually stops working how leaders unintentionally block performance the relationship between curiosity and creativity why urgency can undermine innovation how to create the conditions for team flow Follow Jayson Krause YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@JaysonKrauseLeadership File lives here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1v0QiTchc7WibsnSKcihDx2cEDBhhku5_/view?usp=drive_link

In the U.S., industries and cities used to pollute rivers so heavily that at least one – in Ohio – caught fire a dozen times. But half a century ago, a series of landmark federal laws started reining in water pollution. As a result, some rivers across the country are bouncing back to life.

In Episode 37 of Flow State Podcast, Harry reflects on his recent appearance on Playing Along With Norah Jones and the musical insights he gained from the experience.

Check out the full episode: https://greatness.lnk.to/1933DM Joel Kinnaman didn't walk into acting with confidence. He applied to theater school four times before getting in. Then the panic attacks started. Before every performance, his mouth would fill with water. A bucket was always nearby. Didn't matter if it was ten people in the audience. The breaking point came in front of the entire school. He froze mid-sentence, repeating "Donna Maria" over and over until the silence swallowed the room. He walked off stage, slammed a door, stood there, then walked back and finished the whole thing like a robot. That's what commitment to a calling actually looks like. Not clean. Not confident. Just refusing to quit.

Elizabeth welcomes Robin Arzon - Peloton instructor, ultra-endurance athlete, bestselling author, entrepreneur, and creator of the Project Swagger podcast. Before becoming one of the most recognizable voices in wellness, Robin spent eight years as a corporate litigator in New York City, questioning whether feeling “just okay” was really the standard she wanted for her life. Robin and Elizabeth dive into the mindset shift that took her from law to fitness, how tuning into flow state helped her redesign her career, and why she chose to feel “proudly tired” instead of simply exhausted. Robin also shares the daily rituals behind her intense training schedule, from sleep optimization and recovery to the plant-based, protein-packed staples and philosophy behind her new cookbook, Eat To Hustle, and explains why movement, sleep, and fuel remain her top three non‑negotiables for thriving.

The culture is obsessed with speed, scale, lean teams, massive output, and automation, but faster output does not automatically mean better direction. In part two of this connected conversation, the focus shifts to the missing human layer underneath AI-powered growth and the belief that more content, more automation, and more velocity always lead to better outcomes. Using S³ Growth Streams™ as the operating lens, you will learn how to strategize before accelerating, synergize before scaling, and systemize before sprinting forever. More importantly, you will see how to separate signal from noise, align tools with real human capacity, and build repeatable rhythms that support growth without requiring constant sacrifice. This episode is not anti-AI, anti-hustle, or anti-ambition. It is anti-default sacrifice, anti-permanent sprint, and anti-output without awareness. It also challenges the obsession with flow state by introducing five operating states that support sustainable growth: capture, clarity, commitment, flow, and reflection. Because flow is not the whole game. Sometimes the most productive thing you can do is capture the signal, get clarity, commit to the right action, recover, reflect, and return to baseline before sprinting again. The goal is not to become more machine-like. The goal is to become more intentionally human while using machines wisely.
