Optimising the neuroplasticity window: from evidence to early CP intervention

"When we sleep, a spinal fluid washes over our brain and gets rid of a peptide called beta-amyloid which is implicated in the Alzheimer dementia process. So if we're not getting enough sleep on a regular basis, we really do suffer the consequences later on." In this Best of Series episode, we replay a chat I had in 2019 with Executive Sleep Guru, Dr Carmel Harrington, on the myths and factors of sleep that drive optimal health, joy and performance.

Paul joins the podcast to discuss MSP M&A trends and what 2026 may look like after years of consolidation driven by PE-backed platforms, self-funded acquirers, listed buyers, and newer permanent capital vehicles. He explains why the market has been attractive (fragmentation, cloud migration, cyber demand, COVID-driven working changes, inflation-led price increases) but notes the bar is rising for sellers amid economic headwinds, lower price rises, and AI-driven efficiency that may pressure support rates while also creating advisory opportunities and margin protection. Paul breaks down five buyer types, including Evergreen-style permanent capital that buys without heavy integration and offers supplier and group benefits. He advises sellers to plan early, clarify personal and business goals, avoid approaching everyone, optimise operations, and choose experienced M&A advisors and lawyers, with up-to-date financial and tax records.   00:00 Welcome and Setup 00:33 2026 MSP M&A Outlook 02:18 Market Drivers and Headwinds 06:01 Who the Buyers Are 09:26 Choosing the Right Exit Partner 12:42 Why Exit Planning Matters 14:49 Optimising for a Future Sale 18:14 Money Goals and Life Purpose 23:14 Building the Right Team 23:53 Picking Advisors and Process Timeline 28:57 Wrap Up and Contact Details   Connect with Paul Vanstone on LinkedIn by clicking here – https://www.linkedin.com/in/cls946167290/ Connect with Daniel Welling on LinkedIn by clicking here – https://www.linkedin.com/in/danielwelling/ Connect with Adam Morris on LinkedIn by clicking here – https://www.linkedin.com/in/adamcmorris/ Visit The MSP Finance Team website, simply click here –https://www.mspfinanceteam.com/   MSP Glossary: MSP Finance Glossary Explained | MSP Finance Team We look forward to catching up with you on the next one.

Brain fog, anxiety, low mood and memory slips are often brushed off as “stress” or “menopause” until life starts shrinking. We sit down with degree-qualified functional nutritionist Jo Greben to challenge that story and unpack a more useful lens: brain health as a bioenergetic problem where mitochondria, inflammation and fuel supply shape how well we think, feel and sleep.Jo shares what pulled her into dementia prevention and cognitive optimisation, including the impact of family history, brain injury, and seeing reversal-focused research that pushes beyond the outdated “nothing can be done” narrative. We talk about why genetics like ApoE4 raise risk but don't write your future, and why a proper assessment has to look at hormones, toxins, gut-brain signalling, oxidative stress, neuroinflammation and the small details that most rushed consults miss.You'll also hear practical prevention strategies you can start early: better sleep hygiene, smarter exercise with strength training, protein needs in perimenopause and menopause, and how to have a better conversation with your GP about tests that matter such as homocysteine, B vitamins, vitamin D and high-sensitivity CRP. We finish with clinician-loved tools that support calm and cognition, including saffron, L-theanine, creatine and nicotinamide riboside (NR), plus a case study where addressing mould exposure helped reverse a frightening cognitive trajectory.If you care about dementia prevention, mental health, cognitive resilience and healthy ageing, hit play, share this with a friend who's been dismissed, and subscribe so you don't miss what's next.

In the second of three special episodes recorded at Nacha's Smarter Faster Payments in San Diego, produced in partnership with LSEG Risk Intelligence, we explore the industry's most urgent challenges: rising fraud, the evolution of digital identity, real‑time payments, and the future of embedded banking. Host Graham Barrett speaks with six more leaders shaping the next chapter of secure, intelligent, customer‑centric payments. His guests were: 1/ Robert Unger, Managing Director, ACH Network Development, Nacha 2/ Aravind Narayan, Global Head of Proposition, Digital Identity and Fraud, LSEG Risk Intelligence 3/ Andrew Stache, SVP, Global Treasury Management, Wells Fargo 4/ Lisa Shields, Founder & CEO, FISPAN 5/ Jaime Zetterstrom, VP of Product and Innovation, Somos Inc. 6/ Steve Kramer, VP of Product, Paynearme Robert Unger, Managing Director of ACH Network Development at Nacha, sets the scene for this year's event, the largest in its history, and explains why fraud, AI and ecosystem‑wide collaboration dominate the conversation. Robert outlines Nacha's new mandatory rules designed to combat ACH fraud, the need for unified data‑sharing frameworks, and why the industry must move from siloed protection to collective intelligence. Aravind Narayan, Global Head of Proposition for Digital Identity & Fraud at LSEG Risk Intelligence, discusses the explosion of attack vectors, the industrialisation of fraud, and the psychological toll on victims. Aravind explains why identity verification must shift from “verify once” to continuous, multimodal trust, and how deepfakes and AI‑driven scams demand richer risk signals, stronger collaboration and embedded identity layers for future agentic systems. Andrew Stache, SSVP, Global Treasury Management at Wells Fargo, explores why payment choice has become a strategic priority for CFOs, treasurers and product leaders alike. He discusses the rise of instant payments, the growing threat of social‑engineering‑driven push‑payment fraud, and how Wells Fargo is shifting fraud controls “left” using real‑time intelligence, behavioural analytics and bank‑to‑bank collaboration to protect customers. Lisa Shields, Founder & CEO of FISPAN, explains how embedded intelligence is transforming the bank–corporate relationship. She shares how embedding treasury services directly into ERP workflows unlocks richer data, smarter decisioning and more seamless experiences, and why AI has the potential to reshape bank–fintech collaboration once it moves beyond hype to real use cases. Jaime Zetterstrom, VP of Product and Innovation at Somos Inc. brings a practitioner's view on modernising payment operations, improving customer experience, and navigating the shift toward real‑time rails and intelligent automation. Finally Steve Kramer, VP of Product at Paynearme, closes the episode with insights on fraud prevention, operational resilience and the evolving expectations of both consumers and corporates in a faster‑payments world. A wide‑ranging, insight‑rich episode capturing the realities of modern payments, where identity, intelligence, collaboration and customer‑centric design must all work together to keep pace with innovation.

Welcome back to Truth, Lies & Work, the award-winning workplace podcast where behavioural science meets workplace culture. This week, we explore the shifting vocabulary of the modern office, the rise of "Gen Z entrepreneurs," and a sobering look at the prevalence of toxic leadership. Plus, for Mental Health Awareness Month, we dig into the research behind "Bring Your Dog to Work Day" and answer three tough listener questions in a bumper Workplace Surgery.

Are you a CMO or CTO struggling to align your marketing strategy and tech stack with the rapid rise of AI? In this week's episode of Digital Marketing from the Coalface, Dave and Julie unpack three massive shifts disrupting the B2B landscape.   First, let us introduce you to "SaaS-mageddon". We explore why major SaaS company share prices have dropped and how AI agents like Anthropic's Claude are fundamentally changing software licensing. By using Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers to seamlessly pull data across platforms like HubSpot, Xero, and Monday, companies, like yours, may drastically reduce the number of expensive SaaS user seats they need. Letting AI handle the "busy work" might be the future of entreprise tech stacks and that could positively impact your software budget.   Next, we break down the transition from traditional SEO to Answer Engine Optimisation (AEO). If you think blogging is dead, think again: new research reveals that 62% of AI citations actually come from blog posts. The purpose of content has possibly shifted to attract bots and agents rather than just direct human traffic, but we also explore why user-generated platforms like Reddit, YouTube, and LinkedIn have become the "new backlinks" for Large Language Models, too. Optimising for AI discovery is no longer optional.   Finally, we challenge your B2B targeting strategy with this simple question: are you marketing to the buyer or the specifier? Using the construction industry as an analogy, Julie explains why focusing your budget on the transactional buyer (the building contractor) is a waste of money if you aren't influencing the specifier (the architect) who actually dictates which brand must be used...    

In this episode, we explore the critical factors shaping maternal and neonatal outcomes in the pre-hospital environment, bringing together expert insights from Camella Main, Dawn Kerslake, and Stephanie Heys. Camella, a Consultant Midwife with over 12 years' experience across both hospital and pre-hospital settings, shares her perspective from her roles with the London Ambulance Service and East Midlands Ambulance Service, where she leads on improving maternity care through evidence-based practice.The conversation focuses on the realities of managing high-risk pregnancies and neonatal care outside the hospital, particularly in rural and remote settings. We examine current guidelines, emerging trends, and practical strategies to optimise outcomes for both mother and baby. A key theme is the immediate care of the newborn, with a detailed discussion on thermal management, why it matters, common pitfalls, and the techniques and equipment that can make a critical difference in those first minutes after delivery.We also explore the broader system challenges: how paramedics are trained and supported in maternal and neonatal care, the role of clinical governance, and the importance of structured follow-up and ongoing support for patients. The panel addresses a significant gap in pre-hospital maternity research, highlighting both the challenges and the urgent need for further evidence to guide practice.This episode offers a comprehensive and practical look at pre-hospital maternity care, combining frontline experience, clinical expertise, and a forward-looking discussion on how the field must evolve to improve outcomes for mothers and newborns.

Over time I realised that delegating is actually giving people opportunities." In this episode of The Inner Chief podcast, I speak to David Borger, Executive Director for Business Western Sydney and former NSW Politician, on Building alliances with your enemies, finding your executive courage, and championing legacy projects.

This episode AJ Witt, Geoff Worsley (bedigtial) and Leigh Martin (Flexera) explores how AI is transforming SaaS pricing and consumption, shifting from simple per-user models to complex, usage-based metrics. It examines what this means for SaaS management, how ITAM teams can optimise AI-driven costs such as tokens, and how organisations can assess value from their spend. The discussion also highlights the emerging governance and compliance challenges in managing AI-infused SaaS. "We're in a stage where you're paying for consumption on anything. It's no different, we just got to accept that that's the way it's going to be for going forward, but humans adapt. We'll have to adapt. If you don't, the only companies that are going to work out is ones that can work out how to make use of the data that's in front of them faster and more actually than the other person" - Geoff Worsley, bedigital

Steve Chapman, an experienced ex-grower and ICL technical area sales manager, turns his attention to vine weevil — often cited as the number one pest on nurseries in the UK and Ireland. BASIS qualified, Chapman has many years of experience advising growers on how to keep this pest at bay. Vine weevil are highly topical because spring is a key time to target the larval or grub stage before they hatch in to adults. Chapman was previously a production manager on a large Kent nursery. He controlled vine weevil back then with products such as Exemptor that are now off the market. He recommends options such as Lalguard (formerly Met52) now. Lalguard can be mixed into growing media.He says understanding the lifecycle of this pest is important, from egg stage to larvae and pupation into adults, and how important it is to target at the right time.Chapman recommends starting planning when it is quiet, then to apply Seeka beneficial nematodes in March and April. He also recommends using bait plants such as heuchera to attract vine weevil.Beneficial nematodes play a central role in controlling vine weevil. Chapman says timing and monitoring are important. His three top tips are: Know the pest's lifecycle.Plan ahead.Use a wetting agent such as Transporter. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

How to Turn a Tiny Podcast Audience Into Your Biggest Sales Asset | Jason Bradwell, Founder of B2B Better and Host of Pipe Dream Podcast We help B2B brands launch shows that turn their point of view into pipeline. If you're launching a podcast (or have one already) and are not sure how it can hit your bottom line, book a meeting with Jason: https://meetings-eu1.hubspot.com/jason-bradwell/youtube-meeting-link What if a hundred highly targeted listeners outperforms a million passive ones? In this episode, Jason makes the case that the most specialised B2B brands are not too niche for podcasting — they are the ones who need it most. In episode 43 of Pipe Dream, Jason Bradwell goes solo to tackle a question submitted directly by the audience: is podcasting the right channel for every B2B brand, including those selling highly specialised products like ball bearings? It is a question that gets to the heart of owned media strategy, and the answer will likely challenge a few assumptions. Drawing on real examples from B2B Better's own portfolio — including Data and Biotech, a show focused on the intersection of data science and biotechnology — Jason reframes how B2B marketers should think about podcast audiences. Rather than measuring success by raw download numbers, he argues that the right metric is resonance: reaching the precise buyers who are most likely to make a purchasing decision. Jason introduces a familiar business framework, TAM, SAM and SOM (Total Addressable Market, Serviceable Addressable Market and Serviceable Obtainable Market), and applies it directly to podcast strategy. If your target market is finite and highly defined, that is not a weakness. It is a competitive advantage. You can deploy your budget and resources with far greater precision than a podcast chasing mass appeal ever could. The episode closes with a clear verdict: niche B2B companies — the ones selling specialist products and services to tightly defined markets — are actually the brands that stand to gain the most from a well-executed podcast strategy. Key Takeaways ◼️ Why niche B2B brands are actually the best candidates for podcasting — a focused subject matter means every listener is a potential buyer.  ◼️ How to apply TAM, SAM and SOM thinking to your podcast launch — understand your ceiling before you set your goals.  ◼️ Why optimising for resonance beats chasing download numbers — a hundred of the right listeners is worth more than a million passive ones.  ◼️ How to align your podcast strategy with real commercial outcomes — shortening sales cycles, improving reply rates and influencing pipeline.  ◼️ Why a highly targeted audience is a competitive advantage, not a limitation — precision in B2B owned media compounds over time.

A great ROAS can be a watermelon: green on the outside, bleeding on the inside. Antoine Deventer, Senior Integrated Performance Marketing Specialist at Bissell, joins the Shiny New Object Podcast to talk about what happens when you stop optimising to vanity metrics and start focusing on real growth. We cover Amazon's evolution into a full-funnel media powerhouse, why "tool stack navigation" is a modern marketer's superpower, and the daily discipline that turns impressions into intelligence (breakfast: budgets + KPIs; lunch: root-cause analysis with the agency; dinner:  we'll see...)   #marketingpodcast #modernmarketing #toolstackactivation #roas  

There's a version of male ageing that's become so familiar we've stopped questioning it. Energy drops. Interest fades. The man who used to be the life of the party just… stops showing up. His partner wonders where he went. He probably wonders too.Dan Leach hears this story constantly.Dan runs Valens Health, a UK-based hormone optimisation clinic focused on men's health, though as our conversation made clear, hormones are very much a shared concern. His path into this work started personally, noticing his own vitality shifting in his 40s and finding that mainstream medicine didn't have much to offer beyond a shrug. So he built something that did.The core problem, he explained, is that conventional medicine is set up to treat disease. Hormonal decline in men involves gradual drops in testosterone, DHEA, and thyroid from age 40 onward. It often doesn't register as pathology. The numbers land inside the “normal range.” The patient gets sent home. Nothing changes.But the normal range is enormous. And there's a significant difference between landing somewhere in that range and being where you were in your prime.That distinction is what Valens Health is built around. Dan calls it hormone optimisation rather than replacement: finding where each person actually functions best, not just keeping them out of the red zone.The testosterone conversation tends to carry a lot of baggage. People hear the word and think aggression, shortcuts, something vaguely illicit. Dan's reframe is simple: testosterone doesn't make you someone else. It makes you more of who you already are. If your energy has dropped off, your libido has gone quiet, you've lost motivation and muscle mass: it amplifies what's been suppressed. The lights come back on.I've been taking prescription testosterone myself for a few months now, and the difference has been real. Better focus. More physical stamina. More interest in things generally, including sex. I wouldn't have discovered it through a doctor. I found out through a friend. That's a story I hear far too often.One thing I hadn't known about before talking to Dan: DHEA. It's not a hormone most people have heard of, but it plays a critical role in whether your body can actually use the testosterone it has. Some men have reasonable testosterone levels and still feel terrible, because the activation pathway isn't working. DHEA is essentially the key that turns the lock. Adding it, Dan said, tends to produce a fast, noticeable effect.Thyroid rounds out the picture. It sets the pace for your entire metabolism. When it drops, even to a level that still reads as “normal” on a standard test, everything slows: mood, energy, concentration, libido. Optimising all three together is where people start describing themselves as feeling 30 again at 57.There's also a serious health reason not to ignore this. Dan was clear that unreliable erections aren't just a sex problem. They're a cardiovascular signal. Around 80% of men who start experiencing them regularly will go on to have a significant cardiac event within five years. It's worth paying attention to.Valens Health works remotely, which Dan says most patients actually prefer. It starts with a free consultation and comprehensive bloodwork. The premium package, a dedicated doctor and ongoing optimization for a full year, runs £1,800, payable in instalments.Dan put it simply toward the end of our conversation: isn't life about feeling as good as we can? Most men have been told the answer is no, that decline is just the deal. It doesn't have to be.Key Takeaways* Testosterone, DHEA, and thyroid all decline from age 40 onward. “Within normal range” doesn't mean optimal.* DHEA helps the body activate testosterone. Some men have adequate levels but can't use them properly.* Unreliable erections are a cardiovascular signal, not just a sex problem. Around 80% of men who experience them regularly go on to have a significant cardiac event within five years.* Testosterone doesn't cause aggression. It amplifies who you already are.* Valens Health works remotely.

In this episode, I'm joined by Andrew Coates to unpack the current state of the fitness industry and the explosion of health information online. We discuss why even experts don't agree, how social media rewards status games over nuance, and why over-optimising your approach can stall real progress.We also dive into the future of trends like the carnivore diet, the evolution of GLP medications, and why many people wrongly believe they're the exception when it comes to calorie expenditure.

In this episode of What Is a Good Life?, Mark McCartney is joined by Jasper Walshe, coach, facilitator and founder of TRIPS Tank™, for an honest and wide-ranging conversation about identity, self-trust and what it really means to live well. Jasper traces his journey from fixating on high-performance coaching to a deeper, more grounded relationship with himself — touching on psychotherapy breakthroughs, psychedelic experiences, the trap of wrapping identity in achievement, and his present question: how can I live in wonder? This is a genuinely human conversation about accepting the full range of life, not just the optimised parts.Topics covered:- High performance identity & its hidden cost- Psychotherapy & the power of unfiltered honesty- Living in wonder vs chasing optimisation- Self-respect as a core value- Moments of unexpected clarity- What is a good life?This episode is for anyone who's hit the goals and found themselves asking — is this it?For more from Jasper Walshe:Company Website: https://tripstank.com/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jasperwalshe/For more from Mark McCartney:Newsletter: https://www.whatisagood.life/Website: https://www.mmcleadership.com/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/mark-mccartney-14b0161b4/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@whatisagoodlifeInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/markcmccartney0:00 – Jasper's evolving life question02:30 – The high performance Kool-Aid06:00 – Curiosity beyond performance10:33 – Letting go of identity15:04 – "So, who are you?"19:30 – Dropping the filtered answers23:00 – The couch breakthrough moment28:30 – How "wonder" emerged36:30 – Visualising five years ahead45:44 – What self-respect looks like58:55 – What is a good life?

At the very core of wealth building is the dilemma of setting up your super or making sure you own a home; The long-term returns on both investment choices are broadly similar, but the tax system is hugely in favour of the home-owner. So what to do?

What happens when an AI system faithfully follows a flawed goal? In this episode, we explore how even well-designed algorithms can produce dangerous outcomes — from amplifying hate speech to mismanaging infrastructure — simply by optimising a reward function which, like all reward functions, fails to encode all that matters. We discuss the hidden risks of reinforcement learning, why over-optimisation can backfire, and how game theory helps us rethink what it means for AI to act "rationally" in complex, real-world environments.   Jobst Heitzig is a mathematician at the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research and an expert in AI safety and decision design.

In this episode of "Digital Marketing from the Coalface," Dave and Leslie explore the critical shift in how AI models and AI-powered search engines process and index video content. Moving beyond simple metadata, AI models now "tokenise" video, analysing visual frames and audio streams to extract technical data and sentiment.   High-fidelity video production is no longer just an "aesthetic choice" but a data integrity requirement to ensure AI accurately interprets complex products and engineering solutions.  The discussion also focuses on the strategic risk of "Brand Drift" a phenomenon where AI models, lacking sufficient and up-to-date high-quality data, begin to hallucinate technical specifications or fill knowledge gaps with obsolete data or competitor information.   To avoid the pitfall of AI hallucinating facts about your brand, and in order to allow to speak about your business with authority, your business needs to guide and correct the AI narrative about your brand. Relying on video production is a powerful way to feed AI models with plentiful relevant information.  

Most triathletes and runners will suffer from injuries almost every single year (and many will suffer multiple injuries per year). In this episode, world-renowned physical therapist Chris Johnson explains how to break out of this injury cycle, by looking at all of the different variables contributing to injuries. This is an in-depth look at how to balance your running or triathlon training with proper strength training, nutrition, and lifestyle factors, to allow you to train and perform more and better in the long run. HIGHLIGHTS AND KEY TOPICS: Which factors contribute to injuries and injury risk, and how? How to manage small niggles, aches and painsBone stress injuries and soft tissue injuriesReturn to training protocolsA minimal effective dose strength training protocol that can be easily combined with triathlon trainingRecommended strength training exercises, from isometrics and heavy slow resistance training to plyometricsHow heavy should you lift and how hard should you be working in the gym? Is stretching, mobility work, massage and manual therapy recommended for injury prevention? Myths and misconception about injuries and strength training for triathletes and runnersDETAILED EPISODE SHOWNOTES: We have detailed shownotes for all of our episodes.

Straight off the bat (whatever that means), just letting you know that the first 7-10 minutes of this episode is Dr. Denise and I chatting about the program we are running (The Reset Program) on the Sunny Coast this June. So, if you want to miss a blatant promo - done tastefully, of course - feel free to fast forward. Some of you will be interested, some won't. Of course. Other than that, we had a great chat about natural and not-so-natural supplements that people use to improve cognitive performance (focus, mental energy and stamina, critical thinking, problem solving) and strategies to help us maintain our performance level (at work and elsewhere) over the course of an entire day. We also chatted about dodgy supplements from dodgy companies (there's plenty!) selling products that contain little or zero of the advertised ingredients. For eg. a recent study that showed a high percentage of "creatine gummies" contained zero creatine. Shocker (shrugging shoulder emoji - lol). Enjoy.The Reset ProgramSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Send us a textPrimary Expert: Mick Wall (IT Specialist, University of Sheffield & Founder of Energy Stats UK)Host: Nathan Gambling (Beta Talk Podcast and Betateach Newsletter)Core Topics: Heat Loss Accuracy, Weather Compensation vs. Room Influence, Smart Tariffs (Octopus Energy).Executive Summary (TL;DR)Standard MCS heat loss calculations often overestimate ventilation losses in older homes by up to 300%. Expert consumer Mick Wall demonstrates that real-world air changes in a 1930s semi-detached house are closer to 0.5 ACH (Air Changes per Hour) rather than the CIBSE default of 1.5–3.0 ACH. This episode explores how to verify heat loss using Pulse Tests and CO2 Decay to prevent heat pump oversizing.1. Challenging MCS Heat Loss DefaultsStandard industry calculations often rely on static building guides that fail to account for the actual "tightness" of 20th-century builds.The Problem: Default values from CIBSE and MCS result in oversized heat pumps, leading to short-cycling and reduced efficiency. The Evidence: Mick Wall utilises three distinct methodologies to validate air change rates: Pressure Testing: Utilising the Build Test Solutions Pulse kit for rapid air evacuation measurement. CO2 Decay Monitoring: Deploying Purrmetrix sensors to track gas dissipation over 7 days. Reverse Modeling: Matching 4 years of Open Energy Monitor data against Spruce fabric loss models. 2. Comfort Dynamics: Weather Compensation vs. Room InfluenceWhile "pure" weather compensation (adjusting flow temperature based on outdoor air) is better than on/off control, it often lacks the "aggression" needed for rapid recovery.Pure Weather Comp: Best for steady-state efficiency but may fail during sudden internal temperature drops. Room Influence: Wall advocates for this approach and currently uses his Vaillant control with Havenwise which is an optimiser. Key Takeaway: Insulation (e.g., bay window upgrades) provides "unmeasurable comfort" by eliminating drafts, even when the fabric watt-saving is minimal. 3. Optimising the "Elephant in the Room": Smart TariffsA high-quality heat pump installation must perform efficiently regardless of the tariff. However, leveraging the Octopus Energy Kraken platform provides significant cost advantages.Agile vs. Cozy Tariffs: Understanding how to shift loads without sacrificing comfort. The Risk: Relying on cheap overnight electricity to "mask" a poorly designed, low-efficiency system. Support the showLearn more about heat pump heating by followingNathan on Linkedin, Twitter and BlueSky

Most people believe consistent people are simply more motivated or disciplined — but that's not what's actually happening. In this episode, I break down what consistent people really do differently, and why so many fitness plans fall apart even when you care and know what to do.
