ข้อความโพสต์จาก Mark Manson ได้เขียนข้อความไว้ว่า "คุณจะหยุดกลัวคำวิพากย์วิจารณ์ก็ต่อเมื่อ คุณรู้ว่ามันคือของขวัญที่ทำให้คุณดีขึ้นจริง" - สิ่งที่สำคัญที่สุดก็คือ มุมมอง แล้วมันเป็นทั้งหมดของชีวิตเลย - ความโชคดีของคน ๆ หนึ่งมากที่สุดไม่ใช่มีเงินทอง หรือสิ่งของนอกกายมากมาย แต่เป็นสติปัญญา - เมื่อคนที่มีสติปัญญาเป็นของตน เราจะรู้ว่าใครควรจะอยู่ หรือว่าใครควรจะไป ชีวิตเป็นสิ่งที่จะล้อไปกับตัวตนของเราเอง - สถานการณ์ที่ดีหรือแย่มันอยู่ที่เราเลือก และถ้าเราเลือกให้ดีที่สุด เราจะรู้ว่าเราควรทำตัวอย่างไรต่อไป - ลองดูให้ดี ๆ ว่าชีวิตเป็นสิ่งที่เราต้องเรียนรู้อะไรบ้าง ของขวัญที่ดีที่สุดหรือของขวัญที่แย่ที่สุด มันอยู่ที่เราเลือกมอง
Life Advice That Doesn't Suck aka "The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck" flips the self-help script. Instead of telling you to think positive and chase happiness, Mark Manson argues that life is full of problems and always will be. The goal isn't to avoid struggle. It's to pick the struggles worth having. What you choose to care about defines who you are.Manson builds his case around a simple idea: you have a limited amount of attention, and most of us waste it on things that don't matter. Social approval, comfort, status. He pushes you to get honest about your values, because bad values produce bad problems. Choose better values, and your problems become more meaningful. It's not a feel-good read. It's a reality check.Support the show

"Therapy is a participatory activity. In fact, I would argue that if therapy is going well, it's because you are doing 80% of the work." "Therapy should feel a little uncomfortable.

ข้อความโพสต์จาก Mark Manson ได้เขียนข้อความไว้ว่า "จงเคลือบแคลงตัวเอง จิตใจของมนุษย์มักจะคาดการณ์และแน่วแน่ในเรื่องใดเรื่องหนึ่งพลาดเสมอ เรามักจะหลงลืมไปว่า เรารู้สึกอย่างไรที่ผ่านมา เราเลยไม่ได้เรื่องกับการทำนายอนาคตของชีวิตตัวเอง ว่าอะไรนั้นจะทำให้เรามีความสุขในอนาคต เพียงว่าเราประสบปัญหาใหญ่ในการอยู่กับปัจจุบันนั่นเอง" - อย่าเพิ่งไว้ใจความคิดตัวเองเลยในทันทีทันใด จงสอบทานความคิดทุกกระบวนท่า - คนที่เชื่อตัวเองตั้งแต่ทีแรก หรือชุดความคิดแรก แสดงว่าเขาเหล่านั้นไม่ได้คิดถึงอนาคตเลย - สังเกตตัวเองให้ได้ว่า การที่เราเชื่อมั่นกับหลงตัวเองนั้นแตกต่างกันตรงจุดไหนบ้าง - ไม่มีอะไรจะขวางกั้นความคิดของเราได้ เราเป็นเจ้าของความคิด แต่บางทีที่มาของความคิดก็มาจากความไม่รู้ - ไม่รู้ไม่ว่า แต่อย่าเอาความไม่รู้ไปบอกกล่าวคนอื่นว่า ชีวิตต้องเป็นไปอย่างไร ทำชีวิตตัวเองให้ดีก่อน ก่อนที่จะสอนคนอื่นเสมอ
What if the most important skill of our moment isn't knowing more, but knowing what's actually worth caring about?Mark Manson is the bestselling author of The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck and Everything Is F*cked, with three #1 New York Times bestsellers and tens of millions of readers around the world. The last time Mark joined Finding Mastery was in 2020, mid-COVID, when uncertainty was loud and the world felt strange. Five years on, the world is no less strange... it's just strange differently. The information ecosystem has fractured. Trust is harder to find. And the same noise we worried about five years ago has become the air we all breathe.In this conversation with Dr. Michael Gervais, Mark walks through the three principles he's organized his life and work around: radical ownership, radical honesty, and radical acceptance. He explains why ownership is the foundation under everything, because nothing else really works until you take it. He explains why his bar for honesty is anything "relevant or pertinent to somebody's wellbeing." And he talks about why radical acceptance, the Buddhist part of him, is what allows agency without collapse.The conversation moves into territory both timely and timeless. Mark and Mike dig into why the decline of religion has helped the self-help industry explode, why a spiritual framework remains one of the strongest known protective factors for mental health, and how the comparison machinery in our brains, designed for a tribe of thirty, now buckles under the weight of three hundred million people on Instagram.Mark also opens up about Purpose, the AI app he's built, and what he learned designing it to be intentionally disagreeable. He explains why a yes-man entourage, whether it's people around a star athlete or an AI that agrees with everything you say, quietly untethers people from reality. And he shares the stoic-style practice he uses to stay honest with himself: imagining what would be true if he were the problem, then holding that thought lightly enough to set it back down.By the end, Mark and Mike land on what feels like the heart of the episode... You can be perfect as you are, and you can always be better. Both can be true.In this conversation, we explore:Why sincerity has become the most valuable signal in a fractured information landscapeThe three principles Mark uses to navigate uncertainty: radical ownership, radical honesty, and radical acceptanceHow our ancient comparison brain breaks under the weight of social media at scaleWhy a spiritual framework remains one of the strongest known protective factors for mental healthThe premortem practice that helps Mark stay honest with himself, and why most of us avoid itWhy an AI (or a person) that agrees with everything you say is a slow-motion mental health riskHow to use AI as a thought partner without letting it do your thinking for youThe question that keeps Mark up at night, and might be worth asking yourselfIf you've ever felt like the noise is winning, or like you've lost the thread on what's worth caring about, this conversation offers a sturdier place to stand.Links & ResourcesThis episode is brought to you in part by our partner, Sunlighten, the company that has pioneered infrared sauna technology.

Travis and his producer Eric break down the idea of a personal “Mount Rushmore” of high‑value influences and why picking the right people to follow can make you more successful and less susceptible to the spammy, scammy side of self‑help and business content. They use a viral clip about “the most attractive man in America” as a humorous jumping‑off point to talk about substance over style in the online influencer world. On this episode we talk about: Why the phrase “high value man” has become a cringe trigger and what people really mean when they say it. Using a funny viral clip to pivot into a serious conversation about who actually influences your thinking and behavior. Travis's Mount Rushmore of mentors: Naval Ravikant, Adam Grant, Mark Manson, and Gary Vaynerchuk, and why each one made the cut. How Adam Grant's “Give and Take” reshaped Travis's philosophy on relationships, giving, and long‑term success. Naval's concept of unique value and building a skill stack that creates a “market of one,” plus how that ties wealth creation to genuine happiness. Top 3 Takeaways Curate your influences with intention: the people you follow most closely should be data‑driven, non‑reactionary, and focused on truth over polarization or cheap virality. The most successful people tend to be strategic givers, not takers or strict matchers, and adopting a give‑first mindset can fundamentally change your relationships and opportunities. Long‑term leverage comes from stacking skills into a unique value proposition so you become a “market of one,” doing work that feels like play to you but looks like work to everyone else. Notable Quotes “You're basically just calling him hot, but you want to say it in a masculine way, so you're like, ‘he's just so high value.' You wanted to say sexy.” “Give and Take fundamentally shifted the way that I view relationships and the value that's given in relationships because of the givers, takers, matchers thing.” “It's not just about creating one skill set that's marketable… it's about the ultimate skill stack you create over a long enough period of time so you can create a market of one.” Connect with Travis: Instagram: https://instagram.com/travischappell Other: https://travischappell.com A Word from Our Sponsors: - Are you ready to start your own creatorjourney and make it big?

On today's episode, I'm joined by Mark Manson, New York Time's bestselling author and creator, to talk about how to stop caring what other people think and start building a life rooted in purpose. We dive into the psychology behind why we're so preoccupied with others' opinions, including the “spotlight effect,” and how that fear keeps so many people stuck. Mark shares why the goal isn't to stop caring entirely, but to care more about what truly matters, and how to figure out what you're actually willing to be disliked for. We also discuss how to build self-belief through small wins, why purpose doesn't have to come from your career, and how to create a more balanced, meaningful life without tying your identity to one thing. If you have ever felt held back by fear of judgment or unsure of your direction, this episode is for you.

ข้อความโพสต์จาก Mark Manson ได้เขียนข้อความไว้ว่า "หนทางง่าย ๆ ที่เราจะเริ่มทำในสิ่งเล็ก ๆ นั่นก็คือ การวิ่งร้อยเมตร นั่งสมาธิในหนึ่งนาที เขียนบทความหนึ่งตอน เลิกกินขนมหวานไปหนึ่งมื้อ และอ่านหนังสือเพียงหนึ่งหน้า แล้วค่อย ๆ ท้าทายตัวเองด้วยการทำเพิ่มขึ้น หลังจากนั้นคุณจะพบว่าเพียงแค่เริ่มต้นเล็ก ๆ น้อย ๆ ย่อมทำให้ทุกอย่างดำเนินไปได้ด้วยดีต่อไป" - คนส่วนใหญ่ชอบดูแคลนคำว่าสิ่งเล็ก ๆ น้อย ๆ และเพิกเฉยมันไป - หากเรามองข้ามบ่อย ๆ มันจะทำให้เราไม่มีความสุขในชีวิตกับความภูมิใจในชีวิตเลย - สังเกตให้ได้ว่าโลกเราใบนี้ให้ผลยุติธรรมเสมอ ไม่ว่าเราเลือกที่จะทำพฤติกรรมใดก็ตาม - แม้ว่าเราจะเลือกวิถีทางอื่นนอกจากข้อความข้างต้น มันก็เป็นสิ่งที่เน้นย้ำว่าทุกอย่างไม่มีคำว่าแค่นี้ - ทั้งนี้ แค่นี้เอง เท่านั้นเอง เล็กน้อยเอง แบบนี้เราจะประมาทในคำว่าดอกเบี้ยทบต้น การกระทำก็มีดอกเบี้ยทบต้นเช่นกัน
There's an assumption buried inside almost every productivity system, self-help framework, and optimization routine: that you're not enough yet. That the gap between who you are and who you should be is the central problem to solve. I've spent fifteen years in this space, and I've watched that assumption quietly do a lot of damage. My guest today has spent roughly the same amount of time making the case that sometimes the belief that you need to improve is a bigger problem than whatever you're trying to fix.Mark Manson is the author of The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck and Everything Is F*cked: A Book About Hope, two of the most widely read books in the personal development space over the last decade. He's the host of the Solved podcast, where he and his research team do exhaustive, long-form deep dives on the ideas most podcasters treat like talking points. And he recently co-founded Purpose, an AI-powered platform designed to make personal growth coaching accessible at scale. Mark and I have a lot of shared territory in this conversation—and a few places where we push each other in productive directions.Six Discussion PointsThe backwards law in action: why every message of "you need to improve" carries an implicit second message—that you're not enough as you are right nowWhy optimal is suboptimal—and how relentless optimization can make the quality of your actual life measurably worse, not betterThe two dimensions of productivity most advice ignores: hours worked is not the same as leverage, and until you separate them, no system will help youWhy effort is a double-edged sword—it only creates meaningful output when it's aligned with something that actually matters to you, and it actively works against you when it isn'tHow language shapes whether an idea lands—why the same truth needs to be said differently at different moments in a person's life, and why that's not semantics, it's everythingThe question Mark poses before chasing any goal: do you actually want the costs? Not the highlights—the daily friction, the ongoing compromise, the downside of the dreamThree Connection PointsMark Manson's website and free twice-weekly newsletterThe Solved podcast: Mark's long-form, research-heavy series on the ideas people say they've heard before but haven't actually examinedLearn about Purpose, Mark's AI coaching and personal growth platformMark's most useful provocation in this conversation isn't the one with the sharpest edge. It's the quieter one: before you add another goal, another system, another layer of self-improvement, ask yourself whether you actually want to live with what it costs. Not the version of it that works. The version on the hard days. The answer to that question tells you more about whether you're chasing the right thing than any productivity metric ever will.
We've turned busy into a badge of honor. The fuller the calendar, the longer the to-do list, the more people seem to think we're crushing it. But after more than a thousand conversations about productivity across multiple shows and well over a decade of this work, I've come to believe that the number one thing people get wrong isn't their system, their tools, or even their habits. It's this: they've confused motion with meaning.In this episode, I'm thinking out loud with you about what I call intentional productivity — not productivity as a set of tips or tricks, but as a philosophy, a way of living. If you've been following my work for a while, you know where this leads. If you're new here, this is as good a place as any to start. It's also my way of setting the table for next week's conversation with Mark Manson, whose work on values and what actually matters in life is more aligned with this than you might expect.Six Discussion PointsBusy has always meant anxious or occupied with worry — we've just rebranded it as a virtue, and that rebranding has real costs to the quality of our output and our lives.Applying machine-era metrics to human beings is where productivity thinking goes most wrong: machines don't need rest, and they don't need meaning — you do.Attention without intention is aimless, and intention without attention is powerless; real productivity is the active link between the two.Most systems miss the most important variable: doing the right things at the right time, in the right way, for the right reasons — that last piece is where meaning lives.Time crafting, as distinct from time management, implies ongoing creative direction rather than control — you don't stop crafting until your relationship with time is over.Three questions that cut through the noise every day: What is the most important thing I could do today? What would make today feel complete — not full, but complete? And what am I doing out of obligation versus intention?Three Connection Points"Why Doing Nothing Might Be the Most Productive Thing You Can Do" (APC652): If rest still feels like a reward you have to earn rather than a part of the system, this episode is the companion piece.Stop Managing Time. Start Crafting It: The Medium post that started many readers on the TimeCrafting path — a clear, practical case for why managing time sets you up to fail, and what to do instead.The Productivity Diet: The book where I go deeper into horizontal theming, daily themes, and why a framework beats a schedule every time.Intentional productivity doesn't look impressive from the outside. It's quiet. It compounds. It doesn't post about itself. The person doing deep, meaningful work often looks like they're doing less than the person who's always visibly occupied — and that's precisely the point. The real question isn't how much you got done today. It's whether what you did moved you closer to who you want to be and the life you want to live. That question is uncomfortable. It requires you to actually know what you value. But that's the work — not the app, not the system, not the morning routine. Start there.
Most people have tried the strategies. The therapy. The self-help books. The mindset shifts. And for a lot of people — it helps. To a point. But what happens when you've done all of that and something still feels broken underneath? In this episode, Jeff Brodie, Vijay Krishnan, and Dom Ruso have an honest conversation about why simple answers don't fix complex brokenness, why the comparison trap runs deeper than just social media, and what it actually looks like to accept reality without giving up on healing. This is the kind of conversation that's easy to share with a friend who might not be ready for a sermon — but is ready for something real.

Freedom is when you learn how to truly NOT care what other say/think about you We've been conditioned since childhood to care“What will people think?”“Don't embarrass yourself.”“Be likable.”“Be normal.”Translation?Stay controllable.Because the easier you are to shame…the easier you are to control.And this isn't some fringe idea anymore.There's a reason a book like The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck by Mark Manson sold over 10 million copies and racked up massive reviews.It tapped into something people were starving for:Permission to stop performing.And right now? It's even available free on Kindle, which tells you how widespread this mindset has become.Because deep down… people are exhausted from caring so much.So—thank you, Mark.You helped normalize something a lot of people were afraid to admit:That constantly caring what others think is not virtue.It's a cageMarks free book here: https://www.amazon.com/Subtle-Art-Not-Giving-Counterintuitive-ebook/dp/B019MMUA8S/ref=sr_1_1CURATOR HOSTPink CEO is the disruptive force behind #PinkCloud9Media curating the intersection where raw humanity meets successful business go-gettersI started noticing something after 500+ interviews with entrepreneurs — the business stuff is interesting of course, but the human stuff is what connects w salesSo I've built a space around thatBe on he show:https://calendly.com/pinkcloud9podcast/actual-recording-here-be-readywhere founders get real about how they actually think, what broke them, and what drove them forward anywayI ask the questions most hosts skip.

This was a wild surprise of a podcast. I knew I'd learn more about AI, but I was not prepared for the additional life lessons. This is one of those podcasts where I just sat in as a student instead of an interviewer, and I was not disappointed. About Daniel… He chose a computer over a car as a teenager. He broke his first computer twice and fixed it Thomas Edison style by figuring it out on his own. Noem AI builds concierge AI agents for any type of industry and any size. You gotta listen to the podcast to hear some of the amazing examples. Some highlights… Tell your AI (ChatGPT, Claude, whatever), not to be your friend. It's not helping you by blowing smoke up your arse about how great you are. If you're stuck in life, what's the lesson you're refusing to learn? Problems aren't a bug or a glitch. They're a feature to be worked on. AI is unlocking barriers in your life to do better things. Quit playing in the shallows. Engage in more deep thought. AI prompts are just exposing existing bad communication skills. Do you talk to your employees this way and expect them to know what you want? If you don't get what you want from AI, ask it “What wasn't clear?” Find Daniel Hindi and Noem AI at: https://noem.ai/ https://www.linkedin.com/in/danielhindi/ Things mentioned in the show: The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck by Mark Manson- https://amzn.to/4tdd99Y Never Split the Difference by Chris Voss https://amzn.to/48foZbt Obviously Awesome by April Dunford https://amzn.to/4dk8mit --- Click here to change your life- http://eepurl.com/gy5T3T Hit me up for a one-on-one brainstorming session- https://militaryimagesproject.com/products/brainstorming-session-1-hour Check out my Linktree for different ways to rock your world! https://linktr.ee/ruggeddad Check out the sweet Hyper X mic I'm using. https://amzn.to/41AF4px Check out my best-selling books: Rapid Skill Development 101- https://amzn.to/3J0oDJ0 Streams of Income with Ryan Reger- https://amzn.to/3SDhDHg Strangest Secret Challenge- https://amzn.to/3xiJmVO This page contains affiliate links.

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: Nir Eyal is a Stanford lecturer, behavioral designer, and bestselling author who has spent his career at the intersection of psychology, technology, and human behavior. He's one of the most rigorous thinkers alive on why people do what they do, and what it actually takes to change. Notes Julie introduced Nir to the Turnaround technique. Nir and Julie met the first week of college in 1997 and have been married since 2001. A big part of the genesis of Beyond Belief came from Julie introducing Nir to this technique called The Turnaround, which comes out of the work from Byron Katie, that she used with her mother to repair the relationship she had with her mom. A limiting belief is a belief that saps motivation and increases suffering. It does that by creating short-term relief from discomfort. "I hate public speaking, I'm no good at public speaking, so I'm going to avoid public speaking." You reduce your motivation to go on stage, providing yourself temporary relief, but long-term suffering. The Turnaround helps you collect a portfolio of perspectives. The problem is that our minds hate changing beliefs. We use these beliefs to justify passivity. A turnaround helps you identify many different kinds of beliefs, and then you can choose the ones that serve you versus the ones that hurt you. Your conscious mind can only process 50 bits of information per second. Your brain is processing 11 million bits of information (the sound of a voice, light hitting your retinas, the ambient temperature of the room). Your conscious mind is not aware of all this. Your brain has to filter out and leaves you with 0.00045% of the information that's coming in. The brain sees reality through a tiny pinhole of attention. It's the difference between reading a simple sentence or War and Peace twice every second. In order to make sense of all this data coming in, the brain has to see reality through a tiny pinhole of attention, just a tiny fraction of reality you're actually consciously aware of. The brain makes predictions based on our beliefs. How does the brain make sense of all this information? It has to make predictions, and those predictions are based on our beliefs. We call this predictive processing. Everything you experience, everything you see, everything you feel, and everything you're inspired to do is determined by the three powers of belief. The three powers of belief: The power of attention changes what you see The power of anticipation changes how you feel The power of agency changes what you do Limiting beliefs hide themselves. A limiting belief, by definition, is hidden because we think that what we see is accurate. We all think that what we experience is a fact. "I saw it for myself. I'm stating my truth. This is the way things are." But that's not true at all. The way the brain processes information is woefully inadequate to put that burden of truth on it. The Turnaround uses four questions to challenge limiting beliefs. Is it true? Is it 100% absolutely true? Who am I when I hold onto this belief? Who would I be without this belief? Nir's story: "My mother is too judgmental and hard to please." Nir sent his mom flowers for her 74th birthday. She said, "Thank you very much. But just so you know, the flowers were half dead. Don't order from that florist again." Nir instantly became his 13-year-old self and blurted out, "Well, that's the last time I order you flowers again." Venting is terrible. It does nothing but reinforce your beliefs about people because not only do we not see reality clearly, we certainly don't see other people clearly. We see our beliefs about people. We don't see reality as it is. We see reality as we are. The Turnaround opened up new possibilities for Nir. In 30 seconds, he determined: (1) that belief may not be true, (2) it doesn't really serve him, and (3) there might be a better way to be. He could actually be happier without that belief. The brain hates changing its mind. The turnaround asks you to look at the diametric opposite of your belief. We have a psychological immune system. Just like if you get a splinter in your finger, your body will mount an immune defense. The same happens in our minds. The more you feel "that's crazy, I don't wanna think that way, that can't be true," the more you need to explore it. Nir found four beliefs instead of one: My mother is too judgmental and hard to please My mother is NOT too judgmental and hard to please (maybe she was just conveying information) I am too judgmental and hard to please (I had rehearsed a script of effusive praise I wanted) I am too judgmental and hard to please towards myself (I felt incompetent that the flowers didn't work out) "Beliefs are tools, not truths." This is the most important thing Nir can convey. Which one of those four beliefs is true? All of them. None of them. Who cares? Beliefs are tools, not truths. Facts, faith, and beliefs are three different things. A fact is an objective truth about reality. It is so whether you believe it or not. The world is more like a sphere than it is flat. That is an objective fact. Faith is a conviction that does not require evidence. A belief is a conviction that is open to revision based on new evidence. Most problems come from thinking faith is a fact. Too many people think that their faith is a fact, and the things they think are facts are nothing more than beliefs, which are changeable. That's where most of our problems come from: interpersonal problems, personal problems, geopolitical problems. The original belief left Nir powerless. "My mom is too judgmental and hard to please" only has one way out: she has to change so I could be happy. Good luck. The other three beliefs, Nir could do something about. They were in his control. That enabled him. It freed him. It was liberating. Misattribution of emotion: hurt people hurt people. When we feel bad inside, if you've ever been bullied or been a bully yourself, this is always what happens. When you feel crappy on the inside, the first person you can find, you're going to punch him in the face, either physically or verbally, because you feel crappy. That's what Nir did to his mom because he felt bad. So now she should feel bad. How to handle narcissists: acknowledge they're operating with the best tools they have. That person is a narcissist? Awesome, because you don't have to be around them. But narcissists are operating from the best tools they have. It doesn't mean you have to include them in your life, but how do you stop suffering because of them? Acknowledge they are, and reduce your suffering around them. Nir called his mom and apologized. He said, "I'm so sorry for my behavior. I realize that you were trying to help me. You were conveying information about the flowers, so I wouldn't order from that florist. Thank you for that." That call completely changed their relationship. We expect people to change, but we can't even change ourselves. We can't do the simplest habits like eating better, exercising more, and managing our time. Why are we expecting other people to change? "Love is measured by the benefit of the doubt." When Nir's daughter was born, and he held her for the first time, he felt overwhelming adoration. Five minutes ago, she didn't exist, and now he loved her more than anything. He gave her complete, total benefit of the doubt. Why? She didn't do anything. She never sent him flowers. Babies poop, they need food all the time, they cry. But he never said, "she's crying to annoy me." We give babies the ultimate benefit of the doubt. Why don't we give adults the benefit of the doubt? When those babies grow up and become adults, we don't give them the benefit of the doubt. The narcissist in your life, the person who offends you, the person that hurts you, those are the best tools they have. It doesn't mean you have to be with them or include them in your life. The requirement is: how do you figure out how to stop suffering, to be at peace? We're constantly judging everything. Somebody cuts you off in traffic. Jerk. There's a line at the burrito place. The business thing didn't work out. The stock market goes down. Judging, judging, judging all day long. Good, bad, good, bad, good, bad. Expecting things to be different than they are. These are all limiting beliefs, and all they do is make us suffer. "We don't have relationship problems. We have belief problems." The problem is your belief that something should be different from what it is. It's like asking Nir's daughter to speak Russian. She can't speak Russian. What am I expecting? She doesn't have that ability. Why should I have expectations that people should meet my expectations? Nir and Julie now collaborate instead of argue. Since they started using the Turnaround technique, they used to have disagreements. Now they collaborate. If there's a very smart person, much smarter than Nir, who has an opinion, who he respects deeply and loves and admires, why would he fight with that person? He would collaborate with that person. Different perspectives are an asset to collect. If Nir sees things one way and Julie sees them differently, that's amazing. A new perspective. It's like collecting Pokémon cards. You've gotta get 'em all. Now with more perspectives, he can pick the best one. Writing sessions with Tim Urban, Shane Snow, and Mark Manson. Nir would work on his own and get distracted. But when he had other authors around him, they would sit down, write for 45 minutes, take a 15-minute break, write for 45 minutes, take a 15-minute break. They'd do that for three hours every morning. Not only is it inspiring, it keeps you on track. Find a focus friend. Somebody you can go to a coffee shop with and say, "I really need to focus. Let's keep each other accountable. Let's just work next to each other." Just like working side by side and seeing that other person also working on the stuff they should be working on keeps you accountable. Comparison is the thief of joy. Sometimes it can be tricky to be in a room with people who are super successful. Nir was the least successful author there at the time. You have to put it in perspective and know it's not about the outcome, it's about the journey. The best thing you can do is do the work. Time boxing is better than to-do lists. To-do lists are one of the worst things you can do for personal productivity because there's no constraint. You can always add more things to a to-do list. You come home from work every day and say, "I still have all these things I haven't done on my to-do list." A time box calendar is the most well-researched time management technique. What's much more effective than a to-do list is planning out what you're going to do and when you're going to do it. This is called an implementation intention. The goal now becomes not to finish anything. The goal is to work on that task for as long as you said you would without distraction. Make time to do the work, to turn your values into time. That's the secret to avoiding comparison. You put in the time to do the work. When you have it on your calendar, the goal is doing the work, not finishing the work. Lucky people literally see reality differently. They did a study where they asked people who were self-described lucky or unlucky to count the number of photographs in a newspaper. The unlucky people took on average two and a half minutes. The lucky people took 11 seconds. Why? On page two, one of the images said in big, bold text, "There are 43 images in this paper. Collect your prize." The unlucky people never saw it. Their brains took in the information, but it never became part of their conscious awareness. Entrepreneurs see $100 bills on the ground when everybody's walking over them. That is driven by beliefs. You believe you can will things to change. Walter Isaacson, in his biography of Steve Jobs, talked about his reality distortion field. That's exactly what this is. Entrepreneurs tend to be way more optimistic. They believe that lucky things happen to them, and so they see opportunities. "With our luck, it's going to be a bright, beautiful, sunny day." So many people say "with my luck" and follow it with something bad or negative. This belief and mindset of saying "with our luck" followed by something extremely positive is contagious and enjoyable. "Everything good happens to us." Nir's family says this whenever something good happens. There's no line at the TSA. "Everything good happens to us." The food was good. "Everything good happens to us." Little things, big things. Do more good things happen to them than bad things? Maybe, maybe not. Who cares? Beliefs are tools, not truths. When you believe those things, you notice them more. Your life actually does seem magical, blessed, like you're always lucky. 60% of opportunities are provoked luck. They studied super successful entrepreneurs and VCs and found that 60% of their opportunities provoked luck. They provoked the lucky thing that happened. How? Something as simple as sending a note of gratitude. Never hold back on a compliment. They're free. You get so much back from them. Thank you notes create provoked luck. Tina Seelig writes thank you notes compulsively. She wrote a thank you note to somebody. The thank-you note landed on someone's desk. You're sitting at your desk with things to do, and here's a thank you note, and to the right is your laptop with an email about a new opportunity. Who is going to get the call about that opportunity? You're top of mind. "Ryan's such a nice guy. He sent me that note. I'm going to call Ryan about that opportunity." Changing Nir's relationship with his mom changed his relationship with his daughter. Love is measured by the benefit of the doubt. When Nir started giving his daughter the benefit of the doubt, it pushed him to figure it out with his mom because he needed to give her the benefit of the doubt as he would want his daughter to give him the same. He's doing his best. He's not perfect. He makes mistakes. Those are the tools he's got. You go from loving your kid to liking them. Nir and his daughter went skiing together for his birthday. The entire three hour car ride up, the entire three-hour car ride back, they were chatting. They wrote an article together in the car. You always love your kid. As soon as your kid's born, you love them. But if you do your job right and things fall into place and you're very lucky, you like them. And that's a game changer. Reflection Questions What limiting belief are you holding onto where someone else has to change? What are three other ways to look at that same situation that would put the control back in your hands? Are you treating your beliefs like facts or like tools? Which beliefs are you holding because they're true, and which ones are you holding because they serve you? Who in your life are you not giving the benefit of the doubt? What would change if you gave them some grace?

In this episode, Travis sits down with producer Eric for a candid, thought-provoking conversation on productivity, time management, and filtering advice in a world full of strong opinions. Drawing inspiration from voices like Alex Hormozi, Gary Vaynerchuk, and Mark Manson, they break down what actually works when it comes to building wealth and managing your time effectively. This episode blends philosophy with practical strategy, highlighting how to think critically, avoid “guru traps,” and structure your day for maximum output without burnout. On this episode we talk about: Why you shouldn't blindly follow any “expert” and how to think critically about advice The importance of taking ownership of your time outside a traditional 9–5 The 4-4-4 framework: splitting your day into promotion, delivery, and building How minimizing distractions—not adding more tasks—creates true focus Why “building time” (thinking, networking, planning) is the most overlooked growth lever Top 3 Takeaways Your 9–5 isn't the problem—how you use your mornings and evenings determines your progress. Focus is achieved through subtraction. Eliminating distractions is more powerful than adding productivity hacks. Long-term success comes from balancing immediate output (promotion & delivery) with future-oriented work (building relationships and strategy). Notable Quotes "Your nine-to-five job is not killing your dreams—you're wasting the hours outside of it." "Focus is achieved not through addition, but subtraction." "Most people take eight hours to do what could be done in two."

Despite being deeply in love, he struggled with doubt, timing, and the pressure to feel completely certain. The turning point came during a conversation with his stepmother, who told him she had been married for over thirty years and still couldn’t say with absolute certainty that she “knew” he was the one. That advice freed him from the illusion that certainty is required before commitment.We also unpack my own proposal story with Jared, including the untold truth about the pressure I put on him to propose and what was actually happening behind the scenes. The story I shared online isn’t the full story, and in this episode, we fill in the missing pieces.Lauren Morrison, my sister and the author of Be in the Room, joins as guest host. As a longtime fan of Mark Manson, she helps us dig into the myth of the two-year rule, the idea that if a man hasn’t proposed by a certain timeline, you must not be “the one,” and the false belief that real love comes with instant certainty.This conversation challenges the cultural narrative that a proposal delay reflects doubt about your worth.

Mark Manson is the bestselling author of The Subtle Art of Not Giving a Fck* and Everything Is Fcked*, and host of The Mark Manson Podcast. He joins me for a powerful conversation that completely reframes confidence, purpose, and people pleasing.We unpack why modern confidence is so misunderstood, and how many of us are accidentally undermining it by chasing validation, praise and external accolades. Mark breaks down his actual formula for confidence: what truly builds it, what quietly erodes it and why you can't “affirmation” your way into feeling secure.We talk about the psychology at the core of people pleasing, why fear of rejection runs so deep and how to set personal rules that create strong boundaries without constant anxiety about disappointing others. We also get into how to properly audit your life, the problem with self-diagnosing in the age of TikTok therapy and why self awareness alone isn't enough.Finally, we dismantle the myths around purpose--why most people are searching for it in the wrong way--and the three components that actually create a meaningful life.If you've ever struggled with people pleasing, outsourced your worth, or felt pressure to “find your purpose,” this episode will give you a much more grounded, practical framework for becoming genuinely confident.This episode is brought to you by:Save 15% off my favorite Red Light Mask from BON CHARGE by using code BLONDE at www.boncharge.com.If you want clearer insight into your health, go to ForHers.com and schedule your labs today.Use code WELL and save 20% on your first order at https://justthrivehealth.com/WELL.Go to ro.co/blonde to see if you're eligible for the new GLP-1 pill on ro.Head to paleovalley.com/well or use code well at checkout for 15% off your first purchase.

QUOTES FOR REFLECTION “Before you call the snail a weakling, tie your house to your back and carry it around for a week.”~Ayọ̀bámi Adébáyọ̀, Nigerian novelist “Before pointing fingers make sure your hands are clean.”~Bob Marley (1945-1981), Jamaican singer and songwriter “People get addicted to feeling offended all the time because it gives them a high; being self-righteous and morally superior feels good.”~Mark Manson, author and blogger “We judge people in areas where we're vulnerable to shame, especially picking folks who are doing worse than we're doing. If I feel good about my parenting, I have no interest in judging other people's choices. If I feel good about my body, I don't go around making fun of other people's weight or appearance. We're hard on each other because we're using each other as a launching pad out of our own perceived deficiency.”~Brené Brown, academic, podcaster, and writer “We judge ourselves by our intentions. And others by their actions.”~Stephen Covey (1932-2012), educator, author, businessman “There are only two kinds of men: the righteous who think they are sinners and the sinners who think they are righteous.”~Blaise Pascal (1623-1662), French mathematician and philosopher, in his Pensées (534) “Nothing can damn a man but his own righteousness; nothing can save him but the righteousness of Christ.” “The greatest enemy to human souls is the self-righteous spirit which makes men look to themselves for salvation.”~Charles Spurgeon (1834-1892), famed London preacher “Self-justification and judging others go together, as justification by grace and serving others go together.”~Dietrich Bonhoeffer (1906-1945), pastor-theologian executed for his opposition to the NazisSERMON PASSAGERomans 2:1-16 (ESV)Romans 1 16 For I am not ashamed of the gospel, for it is the power of God for salvation to everyone who believes, to the Jew first and also to the Greek. 17 For in it the righteousness of God is revealed from faith for faith, as it is written, “The righteous shall live by faith.” 18 For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who by their unrighteousness suppress the truth. 19 For what can be known about God is plain to them, because God has shown it to them. 20 For his invisible attributes, namely, his eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly perceived, ever since the creation of the world, in the things that have been made. So they are without excuse…. 28 And since they did not see fit to acknowledge God, God gave them up to a debased mind to do what ought not to be done. 29 They were filled with all manner of unrighteousness, evil, covetousness, malice. They are full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, maliciousness. They are gossips, 30 slanderers, haters of God, insolent, haughty, boastful, inventors of evil, disobedient to parents, 31 foolish, faithless, heartless, ruthless. 32 Though they know God's righteous decree that those who practice such things deserve to die, they not only do them but give approval to those who practice them.Romans 2 1 Therefore you have no excuse, O man, every one of you who judges. For in passing judgment on another you condemn yourself, because you, the judge, practice the very same things. 2 We know that the judgment of God rightly falls on those who practice such things. 3 Do you suppose, O man—you who judge those who practice such things and yet do them yourself—that you will escape the judgment of God? 4 Or do you presume on the riches of his kindness and forbearance and patience, not knowing that God's kindness is meant to lead you to repentance? 5 But because of your hard and impenitent heart you are storing up wrath for yourself on the day of wrath when God's righteous judgment will be revealed. 6 He will render to each one according to his works: 7 to those who by patience in well-doing seek for glory and honor and immortality, he will give eternal life; 8 but for those who are self-seeking and do not obey the truth, but obey unrighteousness, there will be wrath and fury. 9 There will be tribulation and distress for every human being who does evil, the Jew first and also the Greek, 10 but glory and honor and peace for everyone who does good, the Jew first and also the Greek. 11 For God shows no partiality.12 For all who have sinned without the law will also perish without the law, and all who have sinned under the law will be judged by the law. 13 For it is not the hearers of the law who are righteous before God, but the doers of the law who will be justified. 14 For when Gentiles, who do not have the law, by nature do what the law requires, they are a law to themselves, even though they do not have the law. 15 They show that the work of the law is written on their hearts, while their conscience also bears witness, and their conflicting thoughts accuse or even excuse them 16 on that day when, according to my gospel, God judges the secrets of men by Christ Jesus.
Description: Jen revisits this fan favorite episode with Mel Robbins. Buckle up, listeners. It was only a matter of time before our paths crossed with Mel Robbins, one of the most respected experts on change and motivation in the zeitgeist, and today is that day. Known for being the host of the #1 ranking education podcast in the world, bringing deeply relatable topics, tactical advice, tools, and compelling conversations to her audiences, Jen and Amy spend today's hour diving into Mel's “Let Them” theory, which is taking the world by storm, already delivering instant peace and freedom in the lives and relationships of people putting it into practice. Together, they discuss: The difference between “Let Them” and “Let Me” Learning to release the white-knuckle grip we hold over other people's behavior (and other things beyond our control) Reframing disappointment to view it as a gift (yes, it's possible!) Repositioning self-worth inward, rather than leaving it dependent on others' opinions. Thought-provoking Quotes: “For a lot of women, we spend so much time upstairs in our heads as people-pleasers and over-analyzers, over-thinking and ruminating, trying to get things perfect. That's the last place I should be, personally. I need to drop into my body and get out of my head.” – Mel Robbins “People reveal who they are and what they care about through their behavior. Ignore their words. Watch their behavior. Let people be who they are. Let them do what they're going to do. Focusing on them is not where your power is.” – Mel Robbins “The difference between ‘not my business' and ‘let them' is worlds apart. When you say, ‘not my business', you're scolding yourself. With, ‘let them', you're in the power position because you see what's happening and are choosing to allow it without allowing it. You're rising above it.” – Mel Robbins Resources Mentioned in This Episode: Demotivators - https://despair.com/collections/ Effin Birds on Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/effinbirds/ Van Morrison - https://www.vanmorrison.com/ No Hard Feelings by the Avett Brothers - https://open.spotify.com/track/0bgQ1hQrpP6ScdBZlDfLE2 Foo Fighters - https://foofighters.com/ DePeche Mode - https://www.depechemode.com/ The Cure - https://www.thecure.com/ Taylor Swift - https://www.taylorswift.com/ The 5 Second Rule: Transform Your Life, Work, and Confidence with Everyday Courage by Mel Robbins - https://amzn.to/427OHwu The Let Them Theory: A Life-Changing Tool That Millions of People Can't Stop Talking About by Mel Robbins - https://amzn.to/4hc53bE The Mel Robbins Podcast - https://www.melrobbins.com/podcast The Four Questions: For Henny Penny and Anybody with Stressful Thoughts by Byron Katie - https://amzn.to/3C7tKXT My Legacy Podcast - https://www.iheart.com/podcast/1119-my-legacy-podcast-255793246/ Man's Search for Meaning by Viktor Frankl - https://amzn.to/4ajbyaz Dr. Stuart Ablon - https://www.stuartablon.com/ The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck: A Counterintuitive Approach to Living a Good Life by Mark Manson - https://amzn.to/3PCqxmi Guest's Links: Website - https://www.melrobbins.com/ Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/melrobbins/ Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/melrobbins Twitter - https://x.com/melrobbins Youtube - https://www.youtube.com/melrobbins TikTok - https://www.tiktok.com/@melrobbins Podcast - https://www.melrobbins.com/podcast/ Connect with Jen!Jen's Website - https://jenhatmaker.com/ Jen's Instagram - https://instagram.com/jenhatmakerJen's Twitter - https://twitter.com/jenHatmaker/ Jen's Facebook - https://facebook.com/jenhatmakerJen's YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/user/JenHatmaker The For the Love Podcast is presented by Audacy.
