    Healthy Mind, Healthy Life
    How Discipline Outlasts Motivation: Mindset, Habits, and Real-World Grit with Malik Duckett

    Healthy Mind, Healthy Life

    Play Episode Listen Later Oct 30, 2025 15:39


    On Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, Avik digs into how discipline—not fleeting motivation—builds durable success. Guest Malik Duckett shares lessons from foster care to entrepreneurship: using the gym to train decision-making, reframing setbacks as data, and designing daily structures that keep goals on track long after inspiration fades. This episode is a direct playbook for replacing excuses with execution—covering routines, resilience, and the psychology of sticking with hard things across fitness, career, and life.   About the guest  : Malik Duckett is an author, investor, clothing designer, and serial entrepreneur. He channels early adversity into a framework of discipline, consistent action, and critical thinking to create freedom in health, business, and life.   Key takeaways: Habits beat hype: design a daily structure (reading, training, focused work) so progress continues when motivation dips. Train for life in the gym: voluntary physical stressors build the exact discipline required for real-world tough choices. Identity first, action follows: call yourself disciplined and act in alignment—consistency compounds. Reframe failure as feedback: analyze losses more than wins; extract what to change and iterate fast. Information overload skews expectations: social media hides the work; expect long horizons and steady repetitions. Choose your lens: circumstances matter, but your interpretation—positive, neutral, or lesson—determines your next move. Leave limiting environments: changing geography and circles can remove ceilings on growth. Motivation as a bonus, not fuel: rely on routines you control, not external hype you don't. Health is a performance multiplier: sleep, nutrition, and training create the cognitive bandwidth for good decisions. Self-evidence is the ultimate motivator: let your history of kept promises drive future adherence.   Connect with the guest   Instagram: @IntrovertedMentor Website: https://www.sinislifeofficial.org/ Book/brand: SinIsLifeOfficial.org   Want to be a guest on Healthy Mind, Healthy Life?

    Why Iranian American Immigrants Excel: Grit, Education, and the Fight for a Free Iran

    What explains the outsized success of Iranian Americans—and can that same resolve help tilt the future of Iran? We bring together two sharp voices to unpack a story that spans kitchen-table sacrifice, elite migration, and a culture where A's are expected and grit is non-negotiable. From early professional cohorts in medicine and engineering to founders in Silicon Valley, we trace the “immigrant trifecta” of aspiration, constraint, and discipline that turned upheaval into momentum.The conversation takes a turn as we examine a new surge of identity among Gen Z. Campus Persian classes fill up, clubs form overnight, and students study Iranian rap as political speech—all sparked by the Woman Life Freedom movement. That awakening reframes the assimilation question: instead of fading ties over generations, political courage in Tehran is restoring pride in Boston, Irvine, and beyond.We then wrestle with the hardest part: how change might actually happen. One guest makes the case for a single unifying figure—often pointing to Reza Pahlavi—to synchronize a divided diaspora and guide a path toward the ballot box. The other argues for system-first thinking, a coalition over charisma, and legitimacy grown from within Iran. Both agree on two truths: the regime is weaker than it looks, and enduring transformation must be led by Iranians inside the country. History offers context and hope—more than a century of Iranian constitutionalism and secular aspirations provides a deep native tradition to build upon.You'll leave with a clear map of the forces at play: the economics of a strained state, the psychology of exile politics, the power of youth networks, and the quieter heroism of families who traded comfort for possibility.

    BT and Sal open with an emotional tribute to the late Nick Mangold (41), reflecting on the tragic loss of the beloved Jets legend. They then pivot to the Jets' improbable first win of the season, analyzing how Justin Fields outdueled a poor Bengals team, and why coach Aaron Glenn deserves credit for the team's character. The discussion quickly turns to the Giants' struggles, with the hosts questioning how the 2-6 team is only one game ahead of the Jets, putting Brian Daboll's job squarely on the hot seat. They debate whether having Jaxson Dart at quarterback is enough to save Daboll's job given his history of late-game blunders and the shadow of the Daniel Jones situation. Finally, the segment closes by marveling at the insane buyouts in college football, calling coaches like Brian Kelly's $50 million LSU exit the ultimate "golden ticket" for failure.

    In this episode of the Skin in the Game podcast, Saxon Baum sits down with Eric Bahn, co-founder of Hustle Fund, to explore the art and science of investing in pre-seed startups. Eric shares his personal journey from growing up as the son of Korean immigrants in Detroit, Michigan, to becoming a media founder and early-stage investor in Silicon Valley. His story highlights the value of persistence, humility, and learning from failure, a mindset he believes is critical for both founders and investors.Eric emphasizes that great founders “look like anyone and come from anywhere.” While Silicon Valley has historically dominated the venture ecosystem, he notes that secondary and tertiary markets are now producing founders just as capable, thanks to the democratization of knowledge via the internet. Eric also points out a subtle but important distinction: founders from Silicon Valley often carry a relentless “grow fast, break things” mentality that accelerates execution, yet this mindset is increasingly being adopted across the country.Hustle Fund takes a unique approach to investing, prioritizing hustle and execution over pedigree. Eric shares stories of candidates and founders who defied traditional expectations, one high school dropout who became a 100x operator, and a Princeton-educated engineer who couldn't deliver. For Eric and his team, pre-seed investing is akin to hiring: it's about identifying grit, determination, and the ability to learn quickly. Hustle Fund typically writes initial checks of $150,000 and pairs founders with growth projects and mentors to test their capabilities. About 20% of these teams receive a follow-up investment of $200,000. This model allows Hustle Fund to support hundreds of founders while remaining valuation-conscious.Eric also highlights the influence of founders' backgrounds, particularly in the service industry. Experiences as bartenders, waitstaff, or customer service agents cultivate resilience, emotional intelligence, and sales skills qualities that translate into startup success. For Eric, this aligns perfectly with the fund's philosophy of backing “hustlers,” regardless of formal credentials or pedigree.The conversation also dives into the role of media in venture capital. Eric explains how Hustle Fund leverages newsletters, events, and founder communities to provide value beyond capital, helping founders generate awareness, mentorship, and early revenue. This approach reflects the evolution of venture investing from a purely financial transaction to a hands-on, service-oriented partnership.Finally, Eric shares insights into managing an expansive portfolio of 620 companies across four funds. Hustle Fund uses sophisticated data systems and a network of mentors to track growth, assess progress, and double down on top performers efficiently.Reflecting on the culture of failure in Silicon Valley, Eric notes that “When someone starts a company here and it doesn't work out, the first question isn't, ‘Why did you fail?' but, ‘What did you learn, and when will you try again?'” This mindset, he believes, is essential for innovation and entrepreneurship.This episode offers an invaluable look at what it takes to succeed as a founder and investor in today's pre-seed ecosystem, highlighting hustle, resilience, and the evolving dynamics of venture capital.

    Send in your music story!A name that sounds like a solo act but moves like a band: Lauren Nicole joins us to unpack how a family-first rock project found its voice in 90s alt grit, pop clarity, and the kind of bridges that turn songs into memories. From kicking in the womb to Springsteen's beat to taking the stage at eleven, Lauren's path blends fearless beginnings with a modern, DIY engine—co-producing with her drummer husband, Jim, and partnering with veteran producer Dick Hodgin to drop just the right “specials” where a track needs to snap.We dive into the new EP, Preserve Love Here, and why each of its three songs stands alone while threading a bigger story: unapologetic self-love, intimate partnership, and protecting the spaces that keep you grounded. State of Preservation hits like a jolt of energy; Here With You glows with 90s DNA and a lyrical first line that opens the door to the whole emotional house. Lauren breaks down her process—mood first, chords second, words that arrive fast when the moment is real—and explains why she champions the bridge as the place where a song finally says what it's been trying to say all along.Expect talk of influences that actually shaped the craft: Christina Aguilera's vocal athleticism, Jenna McDougall's lyric reach in Tonight Alive, and a dream of a dark-acoustic collab with Meg Myers. We trade summer anthems, monster-truck bangers, and march-ready rally songs, then circle back to the heart of it all: a band that produces itself, protects its vision, and loves rock enough to keep it honest.
