Can you truly break through your own limitations and achieve what seems impossible? Today, I sit down with my friend Nir Eyal, the author of three bestselling books, including his latest, *Beyond Belief*, which just hit the New York Times bestseller list. Nir recently blew my mind when he told me he doesn't "believe in jet lag" after flying from Europe to Asia, and that was just the appetizer for our conversation. In his typical science-backed style, Nir reveals the surprising research behind why some people persist where others quit, and how our beliefs—not always our circumstances—are often the key to unlocking our full potential. He shares practical, data-driven strategies I'm already applying in my own life and creative work, and I think you will too.Timestamps:00:00 Introduction01:26 Belief and Placebos05:25 Why Placebo Effect is Getting Stronger06:59 When Pain is Not Suffering10:10 Hypnosedation and Unlocking Potential15:35 Applying Beliefs to Creative Process19:10 Chasing Happiness vs. Decreasing Suffering21:47 Why Positive Thinking Can Be Harmful26:34 Applying Belief-Shifting to Relationships31:03 Changing Your Mind and Beliefs35:35 Belief Problems, Not People Problems37:25 High Expectations, Low Control Leads to Burnout40:03 Internal vs. External Locus of Control44:27 The Rat Experiment and Persistence47:47 What's Next for Nir EyalIf you enjoyed this episode, please like and subscribe, share it with your friends, and leave a review.

SummaryIn the latest episode of Visionary Leader with Jim Robinson, host Jim Robinson sits down with Josh Foliart, founder of Multiply Global, to discuss the real foundation of leadership and what it takes to be a truly influential leader. From humble beginnings and a desire to be a football coach, Josh shares how mentorship, faith, and pivotal life experiences shaped his journey to launching a global initiative that now supports leaders across eight countries.Josh emphasizes that leadership isn't just about titles or positions, it's about developing trust, having the courage to say yes, and being open to coaching. He notes that many leaders around the world have the drive but lack essential resources and relationships. Multiply Global aims to bridge this gap, journeying long-term with individuals defined by their willingness to be coached and their courage to lead.A key takeaway from the episode is Josh's deep dive into the importance of trust in leadership. He highlights the four Cs—character, chemistry, competency, and credibility—as core ingredients to build meaningful influence. Josh is passionate about communication, advocating for leaders to over-communicate and seek feedback, and challenges the assumption that simply transmitting information means it has been effectively communicated.Whether you're a leader, aspiring to be one, or just passionate about personal development, this episode is packed with practical wisdom on building authentic influence and creating a global impact through service-based leadership!Show Notes(00:00) Introduction(03:59) Turning Received Vision into Conviction(11:43) The Vision Behind Multiply Global(16:28) Maximizing Trust in Leadership(23:29) Boosting Potential with High Expectations(27:15) Celebrate, Clarify, Care, Critique(29:37) Communication vs. TransmissionLinkshttps://www.linkedin.com/in/jim-robinson-18211918/https://www.cgpconstruction.com/https://www.linkedin.com/in/joshfoliart/https://multiplyleadercollective.com/

In this episode of the ADHD Parenting Podcast, hosts Mike and Ryan tackle a provocative but critical topic: why high expectations are the most loving thing you can do for a child with ADHD. They respond to a listener's experience in which an effective classroom point system—backed by decades of research—was canceled after other parents of children with ADHD complained. Mike and Ryan break down the difference between evidence-based structure and popular social media narratives, explaining why removing consequences and lowering the bar can lead to learned helplessness, prompt dependence, and failure to launch. They cite leading ADHD researchers like Dr. Russell Barkley, clarify what the science actually says about connection vs. consequence, and offer practical advice for IEP meetings, home life, and navigating parent group chats. Above all, Mike and Ryan argue that high expectations combined with high empathy aren't the opposite of love—they are love.Find Mike @ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠www.grownowadhd.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ & on ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠IG⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Find Ryan @ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠www.adhddude.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ & on ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Youtube⁠⁠⁠{{chapters}}[00:00:00] Start[00:05:29] Debunking the "connection, not consequence" myth[00:08:14] Dr. Russell Barkley: ADHD as a self-regulation problem[00:10:39] The cost of removing structure: Learned helplessness[00:14:05] "It's not fair": Neurology explains but does not exempt[00:15:30] Setting kids up for failure to launch[00:16:53] Research-backed classroom policies that work[00:21:26] What parents can do at home and in IEP meetings[00:25:05] Confidence is earned by meeting standards[00:25:44] Closing: High expectations + high empathy = loveCitations:Gaastra, G.

Either-or Question 二选一的难题记者的问题相当刁钻（pretty tough）：“你认为自己是获得了两枚银牌（two silvers gained），还是失去了两枚金牌（two goals lost）？”这是一个典型的framing trap（框架陷阱），无论谷爱凌选择哪个选项（which option she picked），实际上都已经接受了“失败（failure）”这个前提，怎么回答都是负面的（negative）。It looks like it's giving you a choice，但实际已经被下定结论了。有些人还会把这种问题叫做trick question（欺骗性问题），也就是那种引导人给出不正确答案的、难回答的问题。��面对这样的either-or question，谷爱凌是怎么回答的呢？I'm the most decorated, female, free skier in history. I think that's an answer in and of itself.“我是有史以来获得荣誉最多、也是最出色的女性自由式滑雪运动员。这本身就已经回答了你这个问题。”她完全跳出了记者的框架（stepped outside the reporter's framework），自信地肯定了自己的成就（confidently affirmed her own achievements）。谷爱凌说出这句话的确是名副其实、实至名归（well-deserved）——她在自由式滑雪项目（freestyle skiing）中获得的奥运奖牌（Olympic medals）比历史上任何其他女性运动员都要多。She wasn't bragging - she was simply stating a fact (不是自夸，只是陈述事实)。这种自信丝毫不让人感到傲慢（didn't feel arrogant at all），因为它建立在扎实的（grounded）成就之上，让人觉得实至名归。02. High Expectations from Everyone 所有人的高期待记者之所以提出这样一个问题，也反映出大家对谷爱凌的高期待。自2022年北京冬奥会赢得两金一银后，她的一举一动都备受关注，也一度成为很多人崇拜的偶像。��面对这种期待，谷爱凌是如何看待的呢？The Olympics is a life-changing experience for every athlete.“奥运会对每一位运动员来说，都是一次改变人生的经历。”紧接着她一句话直接打破了这种“唯金牌论”的看法：every medal is equally hard (赢得每一块奖牌都不容易)。尽管人们对她的期待在不断上升（expectations are rising）。她坦率地指出：The two medal lost situation, to be quite frank with you, I think is kind of a ridiculous perspective to take.“我认为‘失去两枚金牌'这种说法是很荒谬的视角。”尽管是面临这么难回答的问题，爱凌最后也是丝毫没有失掉风度：I'm showcasing my best skiing. I'm doing things that literally have never been done before. And so I think that is more than good enough.“我正在展示自己最好的滑雪水平，我正在做前人从未做过的事情。所以我认为这已经足够好了。”并且在最后还感谢了记者的问题。03. What Can We Learn from It? 我们能从中学到什么？这段采访引发的讨论不仅关乎体育，更关乎心态（mindset）。这段优秀的发言对我们的生活有什么启发呢？基于事实，勇于自我肯定最令主播Selah印象深刻的就是谷爱凌她没有情绪化（emotional），也没有采取防御姿态（defensive）。She simply stated a fact (陈述事实).That shows strong self-identity (自我认同). 她不是在寻求认可（seeking approval），也不是在攻击记者（attacking the reporter），只是平静地陈述自己的成就（accomplishments）。虽然不可能所有人都取得她那样的成就，但只要我们通过努力获得的成果，无论大小，都值得肯定和鼓励。跳出设定的框架在面临一个framing trap（框架陷阱）时，要跳出那个预设的框架，拿出自己的价值标准。因为真正能影响和评判你的，最终只有你自己。That's a powerful skill. 当别人给出一个负面的框架（framework）时，你不必全盘接受。You can change the perspective (改变视角).正确看待期望与压力你成功得越多，人们对你的期望就越高（people expect more from you）。意识到这一点并正确对待他人的期望和随之而来的压力，是非常重要的。谷爱凌之所以能保持如此清醒、内核稳定，是因为她一直遵循着growth mindset（成长心态）。她关注的是突破自我、不断尝试新事物，这些对她而言是比排名（rankings）更重要的东西。It's okay to acknowledge your achievements (肯定自己的成就). 关注自身成长比与他人比较更重要（growth matters more than comparison）。也许这就是我们能从谷爱凌这位优秀的滑雪运动员身上学到的。而且这不仅适用于体育赛事，放在我们的工作、学习、个人成长（personal growth）中也同样适用。

Many managers believe pressure drives performance. Others focus heavily on support. But high-performing teams don't choose one or the other. They operate with both.When expectations are high, but support is low, people become defensive, stressed, and disengaged. When support is high but expectations are low, performance suffers. The real challenge for managers is learning how to balance intensity with kindness so teams feel both challenged and supported.Fortunately, this week's guest shares a practical and grounded approach to building this balance. Evan Marks, a mental performance coach who has worked in high-stakes environments, explains why people don't rise to the occasion but fall to their level of training. He also shares how structure, emotional regulation, and clear communication help teams perform under pressure.In this conversation, we explore how to create psychological safety without lowering standards, how to shift from feedback to “feedforward,” and why leaders must model ownership and emotional control if they want their teams to do the same.Get FREE mini-episode guides with the big idea from the week's episode delivered to your inbox when you subscribe to my weekly email.Join the conversation now!

“[It's about] expecting each other to perform to a certain level, holding each other to a certain level, and just love. High expectations, high love — that's what coach always says. That's something we do a good job with. You can't have one without the other. Our team is definitely built on love and gratitude and we always push ourselves to be our best.” Riley Chamberlain joins us fresh off one of the biggest performances of the NCAA season.Just days ago in Boston, Riley ran 4:20.61 for the mile, breaking the NCAA record in a race that perfectly captured where collegiate women's distance running is right now—stacked fields, fearless pacing, and a generation that keeps pushing the event forward. But talk to Riley, and she'll be the first to tell you she's not interested in chasing times. With championship season around the corner, her focus has already shifted to racing, competing, and figuring out how to win when the pacers step off and it's just athletes battling athletes.In this conversation, we talk about the steady progression that led to this breakthrough, how cross country laid the strength foundation for her range from the 800m all the way to the 5K, and the training dynamic at BYU—where working alongside teammates like Jane Hedengren means getting pushed every single day. She reflects on the program's culture of what they call “high expectations, high love,” the lessons she's carried from past teammates, and the mindset shift from hoping she belonged at the top level to knowing she does.We also dig into the long view—how patience, development, and belief have shaped her career, why she sees championship racing as a completely different sport than time trials, and what she hopes to accomplish before closing out her collegiate chapter.Riley Chamberlain is now an NCAA record holder. But as you'll hear, she believes the most important races are still ahead.____________Host: Chris Chavez | ⁠⁠@chris_j_chavezGuest: Riley Chamberlain | @riley_chamberlain04Produced by: Jasmine Fehr | ⁠⁠⁠@jasminefehr____________SUPPORT OUR SPONSORSUSATF: The USATF Indoor Track and Field Championships presented by Prevagen are back in New York City from February 28th to March 1st at the Ocean Breeze Athletic Complex in Staten Island.
