On Day 2, we tackle the internal monologue. True, effortless focus begins with identity. If you constantly tell yourself you're easily distracted, your brain works hard to prove you right. Today, we're using the power of affirmation to embed a new self-image into your subconscious. Get ready to release the belief that focus is hard, and anchor into the truth: 'I am present, focused, and my attention is my superpower,' shifting your internal identity away from effort and toward effortless alignment." This is day 2 of a 7-day meditation series, "Rewiring Your Attention Span for Laser Focus & Deep Work," episodes 3409-3419. YOUR WEEKLY CHALLENGE: The 10-minute Friction Fighter When the craving hits, do not touch the device. Immediately perform The Neural Navigator Breath and assume the Hakini Mudra for 60 seconds. Set a mental or physical timer for 10 minutes. this challenge uses behavioral conditioning to increase your brain's craving tolerance. By intentionally delaying the dopamine hit, you weaken the immediate reward circuit, making high-value, sustained tasks (like Deep Work) feel less effortful and more naturally rewarding over time. THIS WEEK'S MEDITATION JOURNEY  Welcome to Dopamine Detox: Rewiring Your Attention Span for Laser Focus & Deep Work! If you feel like your attention is constantly being held hostage—pulled between notifications, endless tabs, and the relentless urge to scroll—you are not alone. In our hyper-stimulated world, distraction isn't a moral failing; it's a chemical problem. Your brain has been systematically trained by technology to seek out the tiny, instant gratification hits of dopamine that low-value tasks provide. This constant craving leaves you exhausted, scattered, and stuck in the restless loop of the Default Mode Network (DMN), making true, high-quality concentration feel impossible. This week, we are fighting fire with Neuroplasticity. This 7-day series isn't just about trying harder; it's about giving your brain a complete reboot. We will introduce targeted, science-backed meditation tools that strategically decrease your brain's dependence on instant hits and build the myelin sheaths required for Deep Work. By the end of this journey, you will have moved from reacting to distraction to proactively commanding your focus. You will build an unbreakable internal system that allows you to bypass analysis paralysis, overcome the resistance of starting difficult tasks, and enter the elusive Flow State on demand. Get ready to transform your attention span from a liability into your most powerful competitive advantage. Day 1:  Release Fear Visualization Day 2:  Affirmation: "I am present, focused, and my attention is my superpower." Day 3:  Neural Navigator Breath Day 4:  Hakini mudra for focus Day 5:  Third Chakra for Clarity Day 6:  Mental Focus Flow meditation, combining the week's techniques Day 7:  Weekly review meditation and closure SHARE YOUR MEDITATION JOURNEY WITH YOUR FELLOW MEDITATORS Let's connect and inspire each other!

Today, we're diving headfirst into October baseball — starting with the ALDS preview between the Yankees and Blue Jays. One team's got the momentum, the other's got the maple syrup. Meanwhile, back in Queens, the Mets purge under Carlos Mendoza continues. Players are being shipped out faster than the 7 train leaves Times Square, and it's starting to feel less like a rebuild and more like a reality show: Extreme Roster Makeover – Citi Field Edition. On Day 4 of the Government Shutdown, things aren't looking any better. Lawmakers are still pointing fingers, staffers are still furloughed, and the Capitol cafeteria's probably running out of coffee — which explains a lot. And finally, a programming note: we're changing the formula for The Update on off days. Don't worry — it's not a total overhaul. Think of it like a diet soda with a little more flavor, not New Coke, where everyone rioted until they brought the old one back. This one still tastes like The Update… just with fewer calories and more laughs.In the headlines on #TheUpdate this Saturday, Sean “Diddy” Combs was sentenced to four years and two months in prison for transporting people across state lines for sexual encounters, capping a sordid federal case that featured harrowing testimony and ended in a forceful reckoning for one of the most influential figures in hip-hop.Three-time Cy Young Award winner Max Scherzer was left off the Toronto Blue Jays' roster for their AL Division Series against the New York Yankees along with injured shortstop Bo Bichette and right-hander Chris Bassitt.And in Washington, hopes for a quick end to the government shutdown faded as Democrats refused to budge in a Senate vote and President Trump readied plans to unleash layoffs and cuts across the federal government.

Day 31 – Episode 181: Clown in a Cornfield (2025)Happy Halloween!On Day 31 of The Conner & Smith Show's 31 Days of Halloween, Matt and Ryan take over the podcast to discuss Clown in a Cornfield — a movie Matt has never seen! While I was busy entertaining friends, the boys decided to close out our spooky season with chaos, laughter, and some truly wild takes. The results are absolutely hilarious. (P.S. — not that anyone asked me, but I love this movie.)Support The Conner & Smith Show on Patreon here:

Day 30 – Episode 180: Together (2025)On Day 30 of The Conner & Smith Show's 31 Days of Halloween, I'm flying solo to talk about Together (2025) — starring real-life couple Dave Franco and Alison Brie. I really wanted to like this one, especially with its promising setup and the duo's natural chemistry, but what starts as a tense psychological thriller quickly veers into something closer to a satire on codependency. The film toys with horror aesthetics — eerie silences, blurred identities, emotional gaslighting — but ultimately lands more as a dark relationship dramedy than a true horror entry. It's an interesting experiment, but one that left me wishing for a bit more bite beneath the meta commentary.Support The Conner & Smith Show on Patreon here:

Day 29 – Episode 179: Weapons (2025)On Day 29 of The Conner & Smith Show's 31 Days of Halloween, Ryan and I are joined by Matt to discuss Weapons (2025) — and we all absolutely loved it. Zack Cregger delivers a bold, haunting, and masterfully constructed film that blurs the lines between nightmare and social commentary. With layered performances, an intricate structure, and imagery that lingers long after the credits, Weapons cements Cregger as one of the most daring voices in modern horror. We dig into the film's cryptic themes, the meaning of the recurring “1948” motif, and why this movie hit all of us so hard.Support The Conner & Smith Show on Patreon here:

Day 28 – Episode 178: Smile 2 (2024)On Day 28 of The Conner & Smith Show's 31 Days of Halloween, Ryan and I dive into Smile 2 — and we love every second of it. This sequel amps up everything we enjoyed about the first film: the dread, the tension, and the twisted psychological horror. Naomi Scott delivers a powerhouse performance as a pop star haunted by an unstoppable curse, and director Parker Finn once again proves he knows exactly how to weaponize sound, silence, and the uncanny smile. It's creepy, clever, and full of unnerving surprises that kept us grinning (and squirming) the whole time.Support The Conner & Smith Show on Patreon here:

Day 27 – Episode 177: Ju-On: The Grudge (2002)On Day 27 of The Conner & Smith Show's 31 Days of Halloween, I'm flying solo to discuss Ju-On: The Grudge (2002) — Takashi Shimizu's chilling tale of a curse born from rage that infects anyone who enters its haunted Tokyo home. While I respect the film's legacy as one of the defining J-horror classics, I can't help but feel a bit of déjà vu this week — so many titles on my list explore similar territory of ghosts, curses, and eerie VHS-era hauntings. Still, Ju-On remains a masterclass in atmosphere, with its disjointed storytelling, pale-faced specters, and bone-cracking sound design that creeps under your skin long after it's over.Support The Conner & Smith Show on Patreon here:

Day 26 – Episode 176: The Cabin in the Woods (2012)On Day 26 of The Conner & Smith Show's 31 Days of Halloween, Ryan and I dive into The Cabin in the Woods (2012) — Drew Goddard's genre-bending twist on the classic horror setup. We debate whether the film truly qualifies as a horror movie or if it's more of a sharp, self-aware satire of horror tropes. With its blend of meta-humor, monsters, and mayhem, this film deconstructs everything from the “final girl” to the ritual of audience expectation itself. Is it scary, funny, or both? We try to pin down exactly what makes this movie such a unique entry in our 31 Days of Halloween. .Support The Conner & Smith Show on Patreon here:

Day 25 – Episode 175: Insidious (2010)On Day 25 of The Conner & Smith Show's 31 Days of Halloween, I'm flying solo with Insidious (2010) — a film I like and respect well enough, even if I sometimes mix it up with The Conjuring. And honestly, who could blame me? With James Wan directing, Leigh Whannell writing, and Patrick Wilson starring, the overlap is real. Still, Insidious stands on its own as a stylish, eerie descent into the world of astral projection and haunted dreams. The film's use of sound, pacing, and surreal visuals make it a standout in modern horror — even if the infamous red-faced demon will forever remind me a little too much of Darth Maul.Support The Conner & Smith Show on Patreon here:

Day 24 – Episode 174: The Ring (2002)On Day 24 of The Conner & Smith Show's 31 Days of Halloween, Ryan and I revisit Gore Verbinski's The Ring (2002) — the film that defined early 2000s horror and made us all afraid of our TVs. We dive into how influential this American remake of Ringu truly was, from its haunting aesthetic to its eerie use of analog technology. Naomi Watts delivers a powerhouse performance as Rachel Keller, grounding the supernatural mystery in raw emotion and fear. We also try to wrap our heads around how exactly Samara manages to cross over through VHS tapes and landlines — a mystery that still chills us decades later.Support The Conner & Smith Show on Patreon here:

On Day 23 of the federal government shutdown, Senate votes down a bill offered by Republicans to pay the military and federal workers who required to work without pay. Senate Democrats offer an alternative to pay all federal workers, even those on furlough, but that, too, is rejected; President Donald Trump pardons the founder of cryptocurrency exchange Binance, who was convicted of violating federal anti-money-laundering laws; President Trump holds a roundtable discussion at the White House on efforts to stop human trafficking by criminal cartels; San Francisco's mayor says the President has canceled a federal law enforcement & possible National Guard surge into his city; Secretary of State Marco Rubio arrives in Israel as VP JD Vance is leaving.

Day 23 – Episode 173: Mandy (2018)On Day 23 of The Conner & Smith Show's 31 Days of Halloween, Ryan and I dive into Mandy (2018) — a strange and surreal operatic fantasia descending into the madness of revenge. Nicolas Cage delivers one of his most unhinged and haunting performances in this neon-soaked fever dream by director Panos Cosmatos. It's a heavy-metal horror symphony of grief, rage, and hallucinatory visuals — a movie that feels less watched than experienced. Equal parts hypnotic and horrifying, Mandy takes the revenge genre to mythic extremes, forging something uniquely feral and transcendent.Support The Conner & Smith Show on Patreon here:

Day 22 – Episode 172: Grave Encounters (2011)On Day 22 of The Conner & Smith Show's 31 Days of Halloween, I'm flying solo with Grave Encounters (2011) — and honestly, at this point, I think we've officially hit found-footage fatigue. This movie feels like Gonjiam: Haunted Asylum all over again, just with a different group of ghost-hunting YouTubers trapped in an abandoned psychiatric hospital. It's got the same eerie setup, flickering lights, and night-vision screams, but after so many of these, the scares feel a little recycled. Still, credit where it's due — Grave Encounters helped shape the modern haunted-asylum subgenre and delivers a few solid chills along the way.Support The Conner & Smith Show on Patreon here:

Day 21 – Episode 171: Us (2019)On Day 21 of The Conner & Smith Show's 31 Days of Halloween, Ryan and I dive into Jordan Peele's Us (2019) — a chilling and complex exploration of duality, privilege, and identity. This isn't just a home-invasion thriller; it's a layered allegory packed with symbolism, social commentary, and unforgettable performances. From the haunting use of “I Got 5 on It” to the eerie concept of the Tethered, Peele crafts a film that rewards multiple viewings and endless interpretation. It's both terrifying and thought-provoking — the kind of horror that lingers long after the credits roll.Support The Conner & Smith Show on Patreon here:

Welcome to the Like Attracts Like Mindshift Challenge! Over the next 21 days, we are dropping a podcast a day with our most powerful mindset shifts and techniques. Join us as we go on a journey of self discovery and uncover the truth of who we are. On Day 20, we discuss the pursuit of happiness. We often believe if we just get this thing, create this experience, or have this life, we will finally be happy! The truth is, we are not actually chasing happiness-- you are chasing peace. Highs and lows are part of life, so expecting yourself to feel happy all the time is not sustainable. When you access peace, you can be in the middle of the storm, or in the highest of high places, and feel the same in both experiences.  Happiness is an endless chase, peace comes from being happy with yourself and your choices.   Action Step Today:  Are you still chasing happiness? Do you have a belief that if you just "got this thing" that you will finally allow yourself to feel happy? Today, aim for being at peace instead of feeling happy. What can I do to find peace today?   As always, if you want to discuss how any of these topics pertain to a specific area of your life, book a mindset shift session below:   1:1 Mindset & Performance Mentorship Calls: If you would like to book a session to move forward in the area discussed in this show or any other areas of your life, visit link below for further resources or booking schedule  https://hoo.be/patmahan   CONNECT WITH ME ON: Facebook https://www.facebook.com/likeattractslike11 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thelikeattractslikepodcast TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZTRDc1pT4/

Day 20 – Episode 170: Bring Her Back (2025)On Day 20 of The Conner & Smith Show's 31 Days of Halloween, Ryan and I discuss Bring Her Back (2025) — a film that left us both cold. Despite its stylish look and ambitious setup, we found it to be a mean-spirited movie with little emotional payoff. What could have been a dark, thoughtful supernatural thriller instead felt cruel for cruelty's sake. Sometimes horror can be cathartic, but this one just felt punishing — and not in a good way.Support The Conner & Smith Show on Patreon here:

Welcome to the Like Attracts Like Mindshift Challenge! Over the next 21 days, we are dropping a podcast a day with our most powerful mindset shifts and techniques. Join us as we go on a journey of self discovery and uncover the truth of who we are. On Day 19, we are discussing the concept of giving and receiving. The ego wants to receive endlessly, because it believes that it will fill the void of "not enough".  The higher mind gives unconditionally, without expecting anything in return. They receive from the giving, the sharing, and the expressing. This is what actually fills that void.  Action Step Today:  Can you recognize that the act of giving is actually a gift for the giver and the receiver? Think about what you want to give to the world: your talents, gifts, or even a smile to a stranger.  Practice giving today and notice how much better you feel.    As always, if you want to discuss how any of these topics pertain to a specific area of your life, book a mindset shift session below:   1:1 Mindset & Performance Mentorship Calls: If you would like to book a session to move forward in the area discussed in this show or any other areas of your life, visit link below for further resources or booking schedule  https://hoo.be/patmahan   CONNECT WITH ME ON: Facebook https://www.facebook.com/likeattractslike11 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thelikeattractslikepodcast TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZTRDc1pT4/

Day 19 – Episode 169: An American Werewolf in London (1981)On Day 19 of The Conner & Smith Show's 31 Days of Halloween, Ryan and I head across the pond to revisit An American Werewolf in London (1981) — John Landis's genre-blending masterpiece that's equal parts horror, comedy, and tragedy. This film not only redefined transformation effects (earning Rick Baker the very first Academy Award for Best Makeup), but it also became a personal “gay gateway” for me — with its dark humor, male vulnerability, and the unforgettable charm and body of David Naughton. We talk about how Landis's tonal tightrope still works today, why the movie's blend of wit and carnage feels so unique, and how that haunting ending still hits like a punch to the gut.Support The Conner & Smith Show on Patreon here:

Day 18 – Episode 168: 28 Years Later (2025)On Day 18 of The Conner & Smith Show's 31 Days of Halloween, Ryan and I dive into 28 Years Later — the long-awaited and utterly breathtaking continuation of Danny Boyle and Alex Garland's apocalyptic saga. What we expected to be another grim survival horror instead left us both deeply moved, even brought to tears by its haunting beauty, humanity, and poetic sense of closure. The film honors the legacy of 28 Days Later and 28 Weeks Later while evolving into something profoundly emotional — a meditation on time, trauma, and the cost of rebuilding. This isn't just another sequel; it's a requiem for the world we once knew.Support The Conner & Smith Show on Patreon here:

On Day 17, we examine a belief that's often hidden underneath much of the chaos and suffering we create in our lives:  The belief that something is wrong with you.

Day 17 – Episode 167: Paranormal Activity (2007)On Day 17 of The Conner & Smith Show's 31 Days of Halloween, I'm flying solo with Paranormal Activity (2007) — the little indie that launched a massive horror franchise. Maybe we should've started our found-footage week with this one, because after the relentless terror of [REC] and Gonjiam: Haunted Asylum, this one feels like… a bit of a snooze. Still, it's impossible to deny how groundbreaking this film was in 2007 — proving that a few cameras, a creaky floorboard, and a whole lot of suggestion could terrify audiences (and make millions). It's horror by minimalism — even if, by now, we've seen it all before.Support The Conner & Smith Show on Patreon here:

This South Korean nightmare follows a group of online ghost hunters who livestream their exploration of a real abandoned asylum… and quickly discover that some legends are better left alone. The movie's slow build, eerie realism, and escalating terror make it almost too effective — I'll be honest, it scared me very much. Too much.Support The Conner & Smith Show on Patreon here:https://www.patreon.com/ConnerandSmith?utm_campaign=creatorshare_fan

Join us as we go on a journey of self discovery and uncover the truth of who we are. On Day 15, we dive into trusting through fear-- we often have a story that says that we "can't trust life" because of what "life has put us through".

This Spanish horror masterpiece traps viewers inside a quarantined apartment building as a news reporter and her cameraman document a mysterious outbreak that spirals into pure nightmare fuel.

If you're willing to trace it all the way back, you will see that it all started in someone's imagination.  Now, let's tap into your imagination -- what does your dream life look like? Can you see it inside of your mind? Know that this is the first step to seeing it done and created in your experience.   As always, if you want to discuss how any of these topics pertain to a specific area of your life, book a mindset shift session below: 1:1 Mindset & Performance Mentorship Calls: If you would like to book a session to move forward in the area discussed in this show or any other areas of your life, visit link below for further resources or booking schedule  https://hoo.be/patmahan   CONNECT WITH ME ON: Facebook https://www.facebook.com/likeattractslike11 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thelikeattractslikepodcast TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZTRDc1pT4/

Day 13 – Episode 163: Session 9 (2001)On Day 13 of The Conner & Smith Show's 31 Days of Halloween, I'm flying solo with one of the creepiest psychological horror films of the early 2000s - Session 9 (2001). This slow-burn nightmare follows an asbestos cleanup crew working in an abandoned mental hospital, where paranoia and dread begin to consume them all. What makes it even more chilling? It was actually filmed inside the real Danvers State Mental Hospital in Massachusetts - one of the most infamous asylums in American history and the rumored inspiration for H.P. Lovecraft's “Arkham.”I talk about how Session 9 builds its terror through atmosphere, sound, and suggestion - and why its decaying setting might be the scariest character of all.Support The Conner & Smith Show on Patreon here:https://www.patreon.com/ConnerandSmith?utm_campaign=creatorshare_fan

Welcome to the Like Attracts Like Mindshift Challenge! Over the next 21 days, we are dropping a podcast a day with our most powerful mindset shifts and techniques. Join us as we go on a journey of self discovery and uncover the truth of who we are. On Day 12, we discuss the concepts of people pleasing and imposter syndrome. We keep people in our lives that help us reinforce the stories we've been telling. As we shift identities, the people externally will exist to challenge the new beliefs we are creating.  Action Step Today:  Think about the people in your life right now, and ask yourself these questions to examine if either of these two energies are at play: People pleasing: How are people outside of you responding to the changes you're making, and how does that mirror you're level of sureness? Are you dropping back down to your old beliefs to make other people feel comfortable? Imposter Syndrome: Do you feel guilt for wanting a better life?  Are you experiencing feelings of "leaving people behind"? These are all tricks we will use to drop back down to our old story.    As always, if you want to discuss how any of these topics pertain to a specific area of your life, book a mindset shift session below: 1:1 Mindset & Performance Mentorship Calls: If you would like to book a session to move forward in the area discussed in this show or any other areas of your life, visit link below for further resources or booking schedule  https://hoo.be/patmahan   CONNECT WITH ME ON: Facebook https://www.facebook.com/likeattractslike11 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thelikeattractslikepodcast TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZTRDc1pT4/

On Day 12 of The Conner & Smith Show's 31 Days of Halloween, I'm joined by Ryan Dean Halbrook as we dive into Brian De Palma's Carrie (1976). Nearly fifty years later, this chilling adaptation of Stephen King's debut novel still holds up as one of the greatest horror films ever made. From Sissy Spacek's haunting performance to Piper Laurie's unhinged turn as her mother, Carrie remains a masterclass in tension, tragedy, and teenage terror. We talk about why it still works so well today—and how much we absolutely love it.Support The Conner & Smith Show on Patreon here:https://www.patreon.com/ConnerandSmith?utm_campaign=creatorshare_fan

Welcome to the Like Attracts Like Mindshift Challenge! Over the next 21 days, we are dropping a podcast a day with our most powerful mindset shifts and techniques. Join us as we go on a journey of self discovery and uncover the truth of who we are. On Day 11, we discuss mental anchors, and how to interrupt the default stories we've been telling in the moment through our responses and actions. In this episode, we are shifting out of reacting, into responding.  Action Step Today:  As you move about your day today -- Can you become aware in the moment of any external triggers that are pressing on the old story of you? Sit with those triggers in the moment-- don't allow them to gain momentum and turn into a reaction.  Rewrite the story by feeling the emotion fully, and then responding from a new place.   As always, if you want to discuss how any of these topics pertain to a specific area of your life, book a mindset shift session below: 1:1 Mindset & Performance Mentorship Calls: If you would like to book a session to move forward in the area discussed in this show or any other areas of your life, visit link below for further resources or booking schedule  https://hoo.be/patmahan   CONNECT WITH ME ON: Facebook https://www.facebook.com/likeattractslike11 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thelikeattractslikepodcast TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZTRDc1pT4/

On Day 11 of our 31 Days of Halloween, I'm flying solo with Wes Craven's A Nightmare on Elm Street (1984). This is the only one in the whole series that I find even halfway scary—until the infamous ending, when the inflatable mom gets yanked through the front door window and all the terror goes right out with her. Still, there's no denying that Freddy Krueger's debut remains one of horror's most iconic nightmares, blending surreal dream logic with slasher dread to unforgettable effect.Support The Conner & Smith Show on Patreon here:https://www.patreon.com/ConnerandSmith?utm_campaign=creatorshare_fan

Join us as we go on a journey of self discovery and uncover the truth of who we are. On Day 10, we are discussing the concept of worthiness. You've done all of this work to uncover the story you've been telling, and what new story you want to tell... But do you actually feel worthy of having the life you're asking for? Of acheiving that goal?  In this episode, we dive into where unworthiness comes from, and how that can show up in day to day life as denying ourselves good things, rejecting compliments or gifts from others, or not allowing ourselves to take action on our goals. Action Step Today:  Think about the best life you can imagine for yourself-- Do you feel worthy of recieving it?  How do you respond when someone offers you a gift, a compliment, or a favor? Practice being a receiver of good things today, and notice how it feels in your body. If any emotions come up, take the time to sit and give them space.    As always, if you want to discuss how any of these topics pertain to a specific area of your life, book a mindset shift session below: 1:1 Mindset & Performance Mentorship Calls: If you would like to book a session to move forward in the area discussed in this show or any other areas of your life, visit link below for further resources or booking schedule  https://hoo.be/patmahan   CONNECT WITH ME ON: Facebook https://www.facebook.com/likeattractslike11 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thelikeattractslikepodcast TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZTRDc1pT4/

On Day 10 of our 31 Days of Halloween, episode 160, I'm flying solo with Clive Barker's Hellraiser (1987). This one is pure nightmare fuel, yet I can't help but admire the gorgeous grotesque artistry of it all. From the unforgettable Cenobites to the exquisite gore, Barker creates a world that's both bleak and strangely beautiful. This is horror that doesn't just scare—it mesmerizes, leaving you caught between revulsion and awe.Support The Conner & Smith Show on Patreon here:https://www.patreon.com/ConnerandSmith?utm_campaign=creatorshare_fan

Welcome to the Like Attracts Like Mindshift Challenge! Over the next 21 days, we are dropping a podcast a day with our most powerful mindset shifts and techniques. Join us as we go on a journey of self discovery and uncover the truth of who we are. On Day 9, we are discussing the concept of cognitive dissonance, which is the gap that you feel when your words and actions aren't yet lining up to the new story you're telling.  Going forward, the goal is to close that gap little by little each day. As you do this, you rewire a new identity for yourself.  Action Step Today:  Think about the highest, best version of yourself that you can imagine! How does this person think? What beliefs do they have about themselves?  What actions do they take every day? Take one action step in that direction today!   As always, if you want to discuss how any of these topics pertain to a specific area of your life, book a mindset shift session below: 1:1 Mindset & Performance Mentorship Calls: If you would like to book a session to move forward in the area discussed in this show or any other areas of your life, visit link below for further resources or booking schedule  https://hoo.be/patmahan   CONNECT WITH ME ON: Facebook https://www.facebook.com/likeattractslike11 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thelikeattractslikepodcast TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZTRDc1pT4/

On Day 4 of the Kona Daily Pods, we sit down with two of the sport's greatest champions — Daniela Ryf and Mirinda Carfrae — joined by host Jenny Fletcher to talk through the mental side of winning in Kona, how Lucy Charles finally broke through, and who they believe will rise as the next Ironman World Champion.The conversation dives deep into:

On Day 1 of the 2025 SWAT Competition, I sat down with two veteran competitors, Dave and Shaun. In this episode, we discuss the challenges of competing at a high level in our 50s. We also share lessons we've learned and explore how competition impacts and enhances our daily work and SWAT activities. 

On Day 9 of our 31 Days of Halloween, I'm flying solo again with Adam Wingard's Blair Witch (2016). I know it's considered blasphemous in the horror community, but honestly—I kind of like this one. There's something strangely satisfying about finally seeing something in the woods, and seeing it in full color. While it doesn't capture the raw, groundbreaking energy of the 1999 original, it expands the mythos with new technology, eerie set pieces, and a fresh sense of dread that kept me hooked.Support The Conner & Smith Show on Patreon here:https://www.patreon.com/ConnerandSmith?utm_campaign=creatorshare_fan

Join us as we go on a journey of self discovery and uncover the truth of who we are. On Day 8, we are discussing the story of Roger Bannister and the 4 minute mile. This story illustrates the idea that an inner belief and knowing comes FIRST, before you will see proof in the world externally.  This is why we cannot look outside of ourselves for answers if we want to do something that hasn't been done before.  Action Step Today:  What have you been told is "impossible" for you or "can't be done"?  And can you now see that isn't true?

On Day 8 of our 31 Days of Halloween, I go solo again to cover David Robert Mitchell's It Follows (2014). I think this one is brilliant—an eerie, slow-burn horror that redefines the rules of dread with its simple but terrifying premise. I'll explore its haunting atmosphere, striking visual style, and the ways it taps into universal fears about mortality and intimacy. This modern classic proves that sometimes the scariest monster is the one that never stops coming.Support The Conner & Smith Show on Patreon here:https://www.patreon.com/ConnerandSmith?utm_campaign=creatorshare_fan

Join us as we go on a journey of self discovery and uncover the truth of who we are. On Day 7, we are starting to make choices beyond the story of what we've said is possible.  As we do this, the fear voices are going to get louder -- the story you've been telling is going to do everything it can to get your attention, or to stop you from taking action.  The power of the pause is the difference between falling back into your old patterns, and creating a new identity for yourself! Action Step Today:  As you start to make choices, notice the voices that feel the loudest Separate yourself from the words they are saying, and try to see them as scared parts of you Practice "the power of the pause" and give space to these fears Now, take the new action through it   As always, if you want to discuss how any of these topics pertain to a specific area of your life, book a mindset shift session below: 1:1 Mindset & Performance Mentorship Calls: If you would like to book a session to move forward in the area discussed in this show or any other areas of your life, visit link below for further resources or booking schedule  https://hoo.be/patmahan   CONNECT WITH ME ON: Facebook https://www.facebook.com/likeattractslike11 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thelikeattractslikepodcast TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZTRDc1pT4/

Join us as we go on a journey of self discovery and uncover the truth of who we are. On Day 6, we are introducing you to who you really are. If you are not your mind and the stories that it tells, then who are you? You are the space between the thoughts, the observer of them, the infinite being that is connected to and one with life.  Today, we are taking the first step to connect with that truth. Action Step Today:  Sit in silence and quiet your mind. As thoughts come up, don't attach or judge them, just observe them. See if you can connect with the space between the thoughts -- the one who is just allowing them to come and go-- this is who you are.    As always, if you want to discuss how any of these topics pertain to a specific area of your life, book a mindset shift session below: 1:1 Mindset & Performance Mentorship Calls: If you would like to book a session to move forward in the area discussed in this show or any other areas of your life, visit link below for further resources or booking schedule  https://hoo.be/patmahan   CONNECT WITH ME ON: Facebook https://www.facebook.com/likeattractslike11 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thelikeattractslikepodcast TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZTRDc1pT4/

Join us as we go on a journey of self discovery and uncover the truth of who we are. On Day 5, we discuss the gatekeeper that we put in place to prevent ourselves from changing, and how we have to give ourselves permission to move beyond the fear that's designed to keep our former identity in tact.  Action Step Today:  Pause before making any decisions today. Ask yourself what choice the new you would make, and notice any fears that come up when you go to make a choice from the new identity. This is your gatekeeper.
