This week on the Squiggly Careers podcast, Helen and Sarah borrow brilliance from a sweet source — the marshmallow experiment — to explore how the science of delayed gratification applies to our work and career choices.Inspired by the famous psychology study, they unpack what it means to make one marshmallow versus two marshmallow decisions — the everyday trade-offs between instant satisfaction and long-term success. From replying to emails and saying yes to everything, to applying for jobs and building relationships, Helen and Sarah share real-life examples of how to recognise and reframe your choices for greater impact.You'll learn how to spot your own marshmallow moments, connect them to what motivates you most, and choose progress over quick wins (at least some of the time!).Episode 510

Everyone wants to "scale," but here's the truth, growth isn't free.  More sales, more staff, more moving parts… and if you're not careful, less profit and longer hours. Let's talk about what it really takes to grow your business the smart way. Scaling can be exciting, but it can also drain your time, money, and sanity if you don't have a plan for every dollar you spend. You'll learn how to use your numbers to grow strategically, work on your business instead of in it, and make sure your profits grow right along with your sales. Because what's the point of a bigger business if you're still not getting paid?

In this episode, I sat down with PJ Vescovi — financial advisor, pastor, and author of The Great Money Reform — and this one's going to challenge you in the best way possible. We dove deep into the 5 keys to being a truly good steward, not just in theory, but in daily decisions. PJ's insights are fire — especially his stories around radical generosity, godly work ethic, and the real reason you're not walking in financial freedom.  This isn't your average money conversation. This is faith, finance, and focus colliding in a way that'll leave you rethinking how you spend, give, invest, and even parent.   If you've ever asked: "How do I know if I'm being obedient with my money?" "Am I managing my finances with intentionality, or just winging it?" "Why is God calling me to give something that doesn't make sense financially?" Then this episode is your blueprint.  Resources & Links Mentioned: PJ Vescovi's book: The Great Money Reform — https://amzn.to/4qOTuN0 Necessary Endings by Dr. Henry Cloud — http://amzn.to/3XMPfA0 Atomic Habits by James Clear — https://jamesclear.com/atomic-habits Get our award-winning book Simple Money, Rich Life — http://seedtime.com/free     Let's be a generation that stewards well — not just for ourselves, but for the Kingdom.   BONUS: Ever dreamt of hanging out with us for 6 weeks in your small group or church?

====================================================SUSCRIBETEhttps://www.youtube.com/channel/UCNpffyr-7_zP1x1lS89ByaQ?sub_confirmation=1==================================================== DEVOCIÓN MATUTINA PARA JÓVENES 2025“HOY ES TENDENCIA”Narrado por: Daniel RamosDesde: Connecticut, USAUna cortesía de DR'Ministries y Canaan Seventh-Day Adventist Church===================|| www.drministries.org ||===================09 de NoviembreEl poder del 1%«El Señor [...] nos hace más y más parecidos a él a medida que somos transformados a su gloriosa imagen». 2 Corintios 3: 18, NTVHace poco leí el superventas Hábitos atómicos, de James Clear. En esta obra el autor sugiere que no necesitas realizar un cambio radical de la noche a la mañana para ser una mejor persona, basta con realizar pequeñas mejoras cada día, es decir, proponerse ser un 1% mejor en el objetivo que deseas alcanzar, de ahí lo de «atómico». Aunque al principio no sientas la diferencia, dice Clear, con el tiempo, cada pequeño esfuerzo rinde resultados acumulativos que te llevarán a la meta.Lo anterior implica que si deseas ser mejor atleta, mejor profesional o mejor persona, solo tienes que enfocarte en un aspecto y dentro de ese aspecto tratar de mejorar solo un poco a la vez. ¿Se podrá aplicar el mismo principio con nuestra vida espiritual? Cuando examinamos los relatos bíblicos sobre cómo Dios transformó las vidas de sus personajes, parece que todos experimentaron un cambio repentino: Abraham tuvo que dejar su tierra y su familia de inmediato (Génesis 12: 1), Moisés pasó en un instante de príncipe a pastor y de pastor a líder de Israel (Éxodo 1-3) y el que en la mañana era «Saulo el perseguidor», ya por la tarde era «Pablo el apóstol» (Hechos 9).Ahora bien, si miramos cada una de estas historias detenidamente notaremos que, aunque hubo una conversión repentina, el crecimiento siempre fue gradual, pudiéramos decir que «un 1 % a la vez». Abraham tuvo que pasar por numerosas situaciones antes de convertirse en el padre de la fe. Moisés también tuvo que aprender y desaprender mucho sobre la marcha. Al final de su carrera, Pablo reconoció que Dios había sido paciente con él (1 Timoteo 1: 16). Así que si deseas ser mejor cristiano, el modelo bíblico consiste en aplicar la estrategia de James Clear: procura hoy ser un 1% mejor que ayer. ¿Cómo? En el versículo de hoy, Pablo dice que esa transformación gradual y progresiva la realiza Dios a medida que contemplamos al Señor Jesucristo.Hoy es un buen día para fijar la mirada en Jesús, el autor y consumador de la fe (ver Hebreos 12: 2) y confiar en que Dios, que comenzó la obra de transformación en ti, la irá perfeccionando «hasta el día en que Jesucristo vuelva» (Filipenses 1: 6, TLA).

If you need to hire one person, hire a team of people, or transform your business through Talent or Technical Services, Insight Global's team of 30,000 people around the world has the hustle and grit to deliver. My guest: James Clear is the author of one of the most influential books of our generation, Atomic Habits. He's sold over 25 million copies worldwide and has helped millions of people transform their lives through the power of small changes. We brought the podcast to the campus of Ohio University, where we recorded live in front of 250 of the most impressive college students I've ever met. Notes: I loved the Morgan Housel moment - It was cool to see James' reaction to it (you can watch it on YouTube.com/RyanHawk). Morgan said, "I have absolutely not a single cell of envy for him. Because he is the nicest guy you will ever meet. You will not meet a nicer human than James Clear. You will not meet someone as successful as he is and as humble as he is. He is a saint in my life. And because of that, I adore every bit of this guy, so I cannot envy him. I am just inspired by his success, full stop." We should all strive to be that for the people in our lives. Your WHO - "Every opportunity in life comes through a person. Relationships are usually the most important thing. If you want to achieve more, there is a relationship that can unlock better results. If you want to make a meaningful contribution, helping others is a great way to do it. If you sim Willpower – 'People with tremendous self-control aren't that different from those who struggle. They're simply better at structuring their lives in a way that doesn't require heroic willpower.' It's not about determination, it's about design. That's liberating. Fall in Love with the Process - "When you fall in love with the process rather than the product, you don't have to wait to give yourself permission to be happy. You can be satisfied anytime your system is running. And a system can be successful in many different forms, not just the one you first envision." Make It Obvious, Easy, Attractive, Satisfying - The four laws of behavior change: make good habits obvious and bad habits invisible, make good habits easy and bad habits difficult, make good habits attractive and bad habits unattractive, make good habits satisfying and bad habits unsatisfying. Use the Two-Minute Rule - Scale any habit down to something that takes two minutes or less. Want to read more? Read one page. Want to run a marathon? Put on your running shoes. The goal is to master showing up and make the entry point as easy as possible. Standardize Before You Optimize - You can't improve a habit that doesn't exist. Master the art of showing up before worrying about optimization. Build consistency first, then work on increasing the dose or improving performance. Track Your Habits Visually - I use a paper clip strategy: start each day with 120 paper clips in one jar, move one to another jar each time I complete a writing session. Visual tracking provides clear evidence of progress and makes the habit satisfying. Habits Need to Match Your Personality - There's no one-size-fits-all approach. Morning people and night owls need different strategies. Work with your natural tendencies, not against them. Choose habits and contexts that align with who you already are. Create Commitment Devices - Make bad habits difficult through commitment devices. I had my assistant change my social media passwords every Monday and only give them back on Fridays. This eliminated mindless scrolling during my productive work hours. Focus on Systems, Not Goals - Winners and losers have the same goals. The difference is their systems. Goals are about the results you want to achieve; systems are about the processes that lead to those results. Fall in love with the process, not the outcome. Build Habits That Align With Your Desired Identity - I wanted to be a writer, so I wrote every Monday and Thursday for years. Eventually, I had proof. I couldn't deny I was a writer because of the body of work I'd created. Your habits are how you embody your identity. The Plateau of Latent Potential - We expect progress to be linear, but it's not. Habits often appear to make no difference until you cross a critical threshold. You need to persist long enough to get through the plateau and break through to the other side. Reduce Friction for Good Habits - I want to work out more, so I lay out my workout clothes the night before. When I wake up, they're the first thing I see. The easier you make the habit, the more likely you are to do it. Increase Friction for Bad Habits - Want to watch less TV? Unplug it after each use and put the remote in another room. The added friction makes the bad habit less appealing and gives you a moment to make a better choice. Automate Good Decisions - Technology can lock in good behavior. I set up automatic transfers to my investment account. Once the system is in place, the good behavior happens without requiring willpower or decision-making energy. Student Questions  On Building Habits in College - The mess of college is actually useful because you're forced to figure out who you are. Use this time to experiment with different habits and see what sticks. You have more flexibility now than you will later in life. On Breaking Bad Habits - Trying to eliminate a bad habit without replacing it with something else is really hard. The more sustainable approach is habit substitution. If you want to stop scrolling social media, replace it with reading for five minutes instead. On Staying Consistent - Never miss twice. Missing once is an accident; missing twice is the start of a new habit. Elite performers aren't consistent because they're more disciplined—they have better strategies for getting back on track quickly when life happens. On Finding Your Purpose - I think the idea of finding your purpose is misleading. You don't find your purpose; you build it through the habits you practice daily. Your life is essentially a collection of your habits, so if you want a different life, build different habits. On Overcoming Setbacks - After my accident, I had to redefine what success looked like. Sometimes progress means recovering what you lost rather than reaching new heights. Focus on what you can control today rather than what you wish you could control. On Reading and Learning - I read across many disciplines because insights often come from connecting ideas from different fields. Read widely, take notes, and revisit those notes regularly. The goal isn't to finish books—it's to find ideas that change how you think. On Building a Writing Practice - I published twice per week for years before anything took off. Most people overestimate what they can accomplish in one year and underestimate what they can accomplish in ten years. Show up consistently and let time do the heavy lifting. Reflection Questions Are you focused on achieving goals or building systems? What's one process you could improve this week that would make your desired outcomes more likely? What's one habit you want to build? Can you make it so easy that you can't say no—something that takes two minutes or less? How can you design your environment to make this habit obvious and attractive? Which of your current habits align with the identity you want to build? What small votes can you cast today through your actions to prove to yourself who you want to become?

What If You're Closer Than You Think?

Feeling tired but unable to switch off? We dig into why smart, driven women keep circling burnout even after vacations, stricter routines, and “better boundaries.” The problem isn't your willpower. It's the hidden operating system—your subconscious identity—that keeps pulling you back into overgiving, people-pleasing, and nonstop productivity.We start by naming the six mistakes that quietly drain energy: chasing perfect work-life balance, banking on me time and vacations to fix everything, setting boundaries that still consume mental space, trying to care less, forcing meditation that spikes anxiety, and believing more time will finally make it all click. Each seems sensible. Yet each backfires when your identity still says, “I'm the reliable one,” “I never drop the ball,” or “I'm only valuable when I do more.”From there, we shift to what actually works. Using a brain-based approach, we show how to update the “I am” statements that steer your choices under stress. Drawing on the outcomes–processes–identity model popularized by James Clear, we explain why change rarely sticks when it starts at the surface. You'll learn how to create bridge beliefs your nervous system can accept, pair them with small proofs, and reduce the anxiety that typically follows saying no, resting, or leaving work at work. The result isn't cliche balance—it's sustainable energy, boundaries with mental peace, and care that doesn't cost you your health.If you're done with quick fixes and ready to change the code that runs your day, this conversation will meet you where you are and guide you forward.

From shame-driven routines to the hidden cost of overperformance, we're breaking down what real sustainability looks like when your capacity changes day to day.

What happens when the way you live doesn't match what you value most?In episode 223 of The Alcohol ReThink, join host Patrick Fox as he goes deep into the topic of values, what they are, how they drive your decisions, and how alcohol often conflicts with them.He explores why your brain is wired to choose the path of least resistance, and why drinking can feel easier in the moment, even when it goes against what truly matters to you.Drawing on insights from Tony Robbins and James Clear, Patrick breaks down the link between your beliefs and your values, and why understanding both is key to creating lasting change. You'll learn how to spot the hidden values behind your drinking habits (like relief, control, or comfort), how to start realigning with what you actually care about, and how to make good choices more convenient than bad ones.Some of the awesome takeaways from this episode:- Every decision you make is influenced by your values and beliefs.What you say you value and what you show you value can often be different.When your actions don't match your values, you feel conflicted or out of alignment.The brain is wired to seek pleasure, avoid pain, and conserve energy, which is why alcohol feels like the easier option.Habits are a byproduct of convenience, make good choices easier and bad choices harder (James Clear).When you drink, it's not alcohol you value, it's the feeling or relief you believe it gives you (comfort, control, connection, escape).Beliefs can distort your values, e.g. believing you need alcohol to relax or be confident.Real change happens when you start valuing not drinking more than drinking.Every time you act in line with your true values, you rewire your brain to make better choices more natural.Practising curiosity over judgment helps you understand your behaviour instead of beating yourself up.Ask yourself: What's my brain valuing right now? What do I really need? How can I meet that need differently?Living by your values makes it easier to feel good and harder to feel bad, that's when alcohol truly loses its power.Here are some powerful questions to help you reflect and reconnect with your true values:What's most important to me in life? How is alcohol conflicting with that?What's my brain valuing in the moment when I want to drink?What do I believe alcohol gives me? is it true? how do I know it's true?What belief is connected to the relief or escape I'm seeking?How can I make my true values more convenient to act on?What would it look like to value not drinking more than drinking?Disrupt Your Life Register Interest here: https://www.patrickjfox.com/disrupt-your-lifeWork with Patrick:Discover how coaching can support your goals in rethinking alcohol.

In this Think Thursday episode, Molly explores why sometimes not knowing can actually make you calmer, more focused, and more creative. Continuing the theme of counterintuitive brain science, she builds on previous Think Thursday episodes like The Paradox of Freedom, Novelty for Habit Change, and last week's Defensive Pessimism to show how Selective Ignorance helps protect the brain's limited capacity for attention, energy, and emotion.What You'll LearnWhy so many principles of neuroscience and psychology feel counterintuitive at firstHow your brain filters 11 million bits of information every second through the reticular activating systemWhy constant news, emails, and notifications drain your mental energyHow dopamine drives curiosity and why too much novelty burns it outWhat studies show about the benefits of “information fasting” and reduced mental inputPractical ways to practice Selective Ignorance to improve focus and reduce stressKey Quotes“The people who make meaningful change aren't the ones who know the most—they're the ones who filter the best.” — James Clear, Atomic Habits“Sometimes not knowing helps you know yourself better.” — Molly WattsPractical TakeawaysCurate your inputs. Follow fewer, higher-quality sources.Schedule mental quiet. Set “ignorance hours” for digital silence.Replace input with reflection. Journal, walk, or sit in quiet thought.Remember the enough threshold. Progress comes from applying what you already know, not learning more.Studies and Sources MentionedClear, J. (2018).

This episode is a special one. After a year of interviewing thoughtful, world-class guests, I wanted to share more of my own story. So I asked my dear friend, and episode 01 guest, James Clear, to turn the mic on me. We talk about the formative moments in my life— from childhood patterns and baseball memories to the inner work I've done to stop striving without purpose and start accepting myself more fully. I share why I believe that most successful people already know what to do—they just need help getting past their individual emotional blockers. We explore the coaching frameworks I use, the lessons I'm still learning, and why I no longer believe I have to suffer to do good in the world. This is the most personal conversation I've ever had on the show, and I'm incredibly grateful to James for holding it with so much care. Let's get to it!

Introducing Flying Solo with Katie Kangas, a podcast where professionals share how they have pursued their dreams of architectural practice and design. Listen to the full season 1In this episode of Flying Solo, host Katie Kangas explores what it really means to fly. She begins with perspective—examining why choosing to step into the unknown and aiming for “blue oceans” can open up new horizons for both personal life and professional practice. Drawing inspiration from Blue Ocean Strategy by Renée Mauborgne and W. Chan Kim, Katie reflects on how architects and solopreneurs can create fresh opportunities rather than competing in overcrowded markets. Flying becomes a metaphor for dreaming big and daring to venture into new territories.Katie then shifts to how Solopreneurs must pivot in professional practice. Just as birds adjust midflight, entrepreneurs must cultivate adaptability and nimbleness. She highlights the precision of a hawk shifting direction in the air—its sharp instincts serving as a powerful model for business strategy when plans inevitably change. Like the hawk or even the falcon in flight, success often comes from being able to adjust quickly without losing momentum.The conversation continues with possibility—the endless opportunities that flight symbolizes. Different models of business growth can be paralleled to birds such as the hummingbird, albatross, and swift, each with unique flight patterns. From rapid bursts of creative energy to long-distance endurance, these birds illustrate the many ways Solopreneurs can flourish. With the right mindset, the potential for growth, impact, and earning is limitless.The episode concludes by recapping the three themes: Perspective, Pivot, and Possibility. Together, they form a guide to embracing the entrepreneurial journey. Referencing Atomic Habits by James Clear, Katie underscores how small, consistent steps can lead to extraordinary results.

“Goals are for people who care about winning once. Systems are for people who care about winning repeatedly.” - James Clear In this episode of Take the Stage, Brad Bialy sits down with Keely Flood to uncover how staffing leaders can replace random acts of selling with systems that drive predictable, repeatable growth.

The Habits That Shape Your Destiny What if the life you're living right now is nothing more than a reflection of your habits—both the ones serving you and the ones sabotaging you? In this powerful mashup, I sit down with three of the sharpest minds in the world—Charles Duhigg, Coach Mike Bayer, and James Clear—to uncover the truth about habits, identity, and the small, daily choices that create extraordinary outcomes. Charles Duhigg, the Pulitzer Prize–winning author of The Power of Habit, breaks down how every habit runs on a simple loop—cue, routine, reward—and how you can rewire even your most stubborn patterns. He shares the golden rule of habit change and why being in control doesn't mean eliminating a behavior, but transforming it into something that serves you. Coach Mike Bayer takes us deep into his concept of living as your “Best Self.” In this conversation, I share my own best self exercise—Superman—and my anti-self—Richard Cabeza. We talk about how naming these identities can give you clarity, courage, and even humor in the middle of stress. This isn't just theory; it's a practical, life-changing tool you can use today with your family, your work, and yourself. Then James Clear, the author of Atomic Habits, drives it home with his groundbreaking philosophy: success isn't about massive leaps, it's about getting just 1% better every day. He explains the compounding effect of small improvements, why identity-based habits are the most powerful, and how the two-minute rule can help you master the art of showing up. Every one of these conversations points back to one undeniable truth: you don't rise to the level of your goals, you fall to the level of your habits. But the great news is—you can change them, starting today. Key Takeaways: How to use the “cue-routine-reward” loop to rewire habits that no longer serve you (Charles Duhigg) Why naming your Best Self and your Anti-Self can instantly shift your mindset (Coach Mike Bayer) The compounding power of small improvements: why 1% better every day is life-changing (James Clear) Why habits aren't just actions—they're votes for your identity and future self The danger of stopping the very habits that created your success—and how to upgrade them instead Your destiny isn't shaped by what you do once—it's forged in what you do daily. The smallest change can set you on the path to the biggest transformation of your life.

“The more time you spend complaining about what you deserve, the less time you have to focus on what you can create. Focus on what you can control.” ― James Clear Check Out These Highlights:   I actually interviewed James Clear when his book, Atomic Habits, was first released. His approach to making micro steps and building on those every day creates the life you've imagined and can actually achieve.  It's all about creating habits and implementing systems to help us thrive at work and at home. So, how do we apply the concept of micro habits to shift our mindset and habits around money? About Laura Rotter: Laura is a CFA, MBA, CFP®, and the founder of True Abundance Advisors.

Most small business owners are running their business on gut instinct instead of using the best tool in their toolbelt - the Profit & Loss report. Your P&L isn't just a piece of paper; it's the roadmap to growing your sales and profits. It shows you where your money is really going, reveals trends that help you predict the future, and gives you the insight to make smarter decisions. Ignoring it is like trying to hammer a nail with a wrench or bake a cake without using the oven. You're making things harder than they need to be. Today, we'll break down why your P&L is the ultimate tool to grow your business and how to start using it today. -----------------------------   CONTACT ME:

Go to www.LearningLeader.com for full show notes The Learning Leader Show with Ryan Hawk Morgan Housel is the New York Times Bestselling author of The Psychology of Money, Same As Ever, and The Art of Spending Money. His books have sold over 10million copies and have been translated into more than 60 languages. This is brought to you by Insight Global. If you need to hire 1 person, hire a team of people, or transform your business through Talent or Technical Services, Insight Global's team of 30,000 people around the world have the hustle and grit to deliver. Notes: Morgan dedicated The Art of Spending Money to "Kellie the Unicorn" (his sister Kellie) after she was diagnosed with colon cancer and asked him to fulfill her long-running joke request. Sometimes book dedications "mean nothing to the reader, but they can mean everything to the author." People Who Bet on You - Brian Richards (Motley Fool boss) bet on Morgan when he didn't have to, providing unconditional support for a mediocre college writer. Craig Shapiro (Collaborative Fund) pursued Morgan for months to join his tiny VC firm as a full-time blogger when it wasn't a business necessity. What money can't buy - Morgan once heard a story from a priest that he'll never forget… It's from a priest who delivers the last rites in hospitals. He described the difference between what kids say to their parents when they're about to die. The priest tells them to tell their parents what they're most grateful for… In families with lots of problems, the kids usually talk about something that costs money. In the best families, the ones with solid relationships, the kids say the same thing every time. “Thank you for believing in me.” Making vs. Spending Money - "There are literally tens of thousands of books written on how to make money... There are virtually no books written about how to spend money." Most people assume spending needs no guidance, but wealthy people often demonstrate this isn't true. The Internal vs. External Scoreboard - Donald Crowhurst (fake sailor who killed himself seeking external validation) vs. Bernard Moitessier (expert sailor who quit before winning to avoid attention and live authentically). Modern society pushes us toward Crowhurst's external validation while we actually want Moitessier's internal satisfaction. The simplest formula for a pretty nice life: independence plus purpose. The independence to do what you want, and the wisdom to want to do meaningful things. Chuck Feeney's Wealth Example - The duty-free store billionaire first lived the stereotypical rich lifestyle, realized he didn't like it, then chose to live modestly and give away $10 billion. "I was happy when I was giving money away, and I was not happy when I wasn't giving money away." Every Dollar of Debt - "Every dollar of debt that you have is a piece of your future that someone else owns." Debt narrows the range of outcomes you can endure in an unknowable future. Money and Happiness Research - Recent studies show that earning more money only helps if you're already happy, joyful, and content. For depressed, anxious people, more money doesn't improve well-being. "It leverages whoever you are in either direction." What Money Can't Buy - The book is "40% about how to spend money to make yourself happier and 60% about realizing what money cannot do for you." Relationships, health, and personal fulfillment must come first. “Comedians are the best thought leaders because they understand how the world works, but they want to make you laugh rather than making themselves feel smart.” "Nobody gives a shit about anything other than how you make them feel." Vacation - Morgan realized while building sandcastles with his kids on the beach in Maui (10/10 experience) that building Legos at home with them was almost as good (9/10). The real value was "uninterrupted time with my family," which required travel to avoid daily distractions but pointed to what actually mattered. Ambition - Morgan's career drive crystallized while kayaking past $25 million mansions on Lake Washington in 2010: "I need to work harder. I want one of those one day." This wasn't envy but ambition - though he notes the line between inspiration and envy is thin, especially once you know the person. A high savings rate is not "saving" but is "purchasing independence." Each saved dollar buys freedom to handle life's unknowable future without someone else's schedule dictating his choices. Why Spending Is Complicated People try to fill emotional holes with material purchases Society tells us what we should like, which may not align with our actual preferences We chase peer comparison rather than personal satisfaction We overestimate the social rewards of nice possessions The Independence Framework Save money not for retirement but for freedom to handle uncertainty Debt narrows your options when life throws curveballs Independence means being able to do what you want, with whom you want, for as long as you want The Internal Scorecard "No one's watching. No one's thinking about you." When people notice your possessions, they're either imagining themselves having them or envying you for them Neither response gives you the social validation you're seeking Use money to buy independence rather than others' admiration Relationship Investments Focus on what creates "uninterrupted time with people you love" Consider how purchases enable deeper connections (bigger kitchen for family dinners) vs. impressing others Remember that belief and support matter more than material provision Purpose Morgan's purpose became clear the moment he became a father: "There. That's it... I don't matter anymore. That's the only thing that matters right there." Purpose can be parenthood, work, religion, or community, but it needs to be bigger than yourself. "Comedians are the best thought leaders because they understand how the world works, but they want to make you laugh rather than making themselves feel smart." They deliver profound psychological and social insights while focusing on how they make you feel, not their own status. Regret -- Gerontologist Carl Pillemer interviewed 1,000 Americans aged 90-100. Not a single one said, "I wish I earned more money" or "I wish I worked harder." Nearly all said "I wish I spent more time with my kids" and "I wish I were nicer to my spouse." Inspiration vs. Envy -- Morgan credits James Clear as inspiration for "The Psychology of Money" and describes him as incredibly successful yet humble and kind. This creates pure inspiration without envy, unlike other successful writers whose personalities trigger competitive feelings.

The only way you go from who you are today to who you want to be is through evidence.Most of us want to skip ahead. We think we can just decide to be someone new, leap across the ravine, and instantly become the person with the outcome we want. But the truth? No one leaps. They build a bridge — one tiny, consistent plank at a time.This episode dives into why identity isn't about “faking it till you make it,” and why it's completely normal — even warranted — to feel like you don't deserve the outcome yet. If you already fully owned the identity, you'd already have the result. Change isn't about forcing belief; it's about taking the steps that slowly prove to yourself who you are becoming.We'll unpack:Why your brain resists change and labels new identities as “lies”How to use James Clear's framework (make habits Obvious, Attractive, Easy, Rewarding) to build consistencyWhy integrity shows up most powerfully in failure, not successWhat radical personal responsibility looks like when the shame hits and you want to hideYour thoughts aren't facts. Feeling like a failure doesn't disqualify you — it's simply part of the process. You don't need to know exactly who you want to be yet; it's enough to know you don't want to stay stuck.Because becoming the person you want to be isn't about leaping. It's about building the bridge.If you're ready to do whatever is required to succeed for your health goals, then book a free consult with our team to talk about making that a reality.https://fitwithplants.com/schedule-your-call-6
