Some moments don't fade. They wait.In this episode of The Game Inside the Games, Dr. Michael Gervais reconnects with Ricardo Lockette as returning to the Super Bowl setting brings old emotions back to the surface. The conversation moves beyond the game itself into grief, loss, and the weight of moments that never fully resolve.Lockette speaks candidly about the Super Bowl heartbreak, the injury that ended his career, and why public grieving can be harder than physical pain. Drawing on their close relationship, Gervais helps him unpack what those experiences still mean—and how resilience is built in the aftermath, not the moment.This is a raw, human conversation about survival, leadership, and learning how to live with moments that don't come with clean endings._____

The huddle is one of the quietest moments in football—and one of the most revealing. Before the play is called, before anyone moves, a team comes together in a space where trust, tone, and connection matter more than words on a whiteboard.In this episode of The Game Inside the Games, Dr. Michael Gervais and All-Pro wide receiver Brandon Marshall go inside the huddle to explore what really happens in the moments before action. Rather than breaking down strategy or schemes, the conversation focuses on culture—how relationships show up under pressure and how teams signal belief, accountability, and presence when it counts.Drawing on lived experience, Gervais and Marshall examine how the huddle becomes a mirror for a team's inner life. Who speaks. Who listens. How people respond when the moment feels heavy. These subtle dynamics often shape what happens next, long before the ball is snapped.This is a grounded, human conversation about connection, leadership, and shared responsibility. And while the stories come from the highest level of football, the insight applies far beyond the field—to meetings, decisions, and the moments we all face just before we act.Follow Finding Mastery all week as The Game Inside the Games continues to unpack the inner game at global sporting events,, available on YouTube, Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you listen._____________This episode is brought to you by CDW and Microsoft.

The noise at the Super Bowl can be overwhelming—tens of thousands of voices colliding into a single roar. But the loudest voice a player hears isn't coming from the stands. It's the one inside their own head.In this episode of The Game Inside the Games, Dr. Michael Gervais and All-Pro wide receiver Brandon Marshall sit down with former NFL MVP Cam Newton to explore one of the most overlooked forces in elite performance: self-talk.Rather than revisiting highlights or headlines, the conversation focuses on the internal dialogue that shapes performance in football's biggest moments. From the intensity of the Super Bowl stage to the quieter moments when doubt creeps in, Cam and Brandon share how the words athletes say to themselves can either steady them—or pull them out of the moment entirely.This is a candid, human conversation about confidence, pressure, imagination, and the unseen work required to stay grounded when everything is on the line. And while the stories come from the highest level of sport, the lessons reach far beyond the field—offering insight into how anyone can use self-talk to access their best when it matters most.Follow Finding Mastery all week as The Game Inside the Games continues to unpack the inner game at global sporting events,, available on YouTube, Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you listen._____________This episode is brought to you by CDW and Microsoft.

Sixteen bullets. Two victims. Two children left crying in a house with their dead parents. The autopsy reports for Spencer and Monique Tepe are now public — and they paint a brutal picture of what happened inside that Weinland Park bedroom on December 30th. Every wound was to the upper body. Both victims had defensive injuries. The trajectories show they moved, turned, tried to escape. The shooting continued anyway.This episode breaks down the forensic signature of the crime and what it tells us about the psychology of the person accused of committing it. Michael McKee — Monique's ex-husband — allegedly waited eight and a half years after their divorce before allegedly executing her and her new husband. Court documents describe years of alleged threats, stalking behavior, and an obsession that never faded. He allegedly told her she would "always be his wife" and that he could "kill her at any time."Forensic psychologists call this pattern a "grievance collector" — someone who catalogs wounds to their ego and nurtures them for years until the grievance becomes justification. McKee's alleged behavior fits this profile precisely. The surveillance weeks before the murders. The stolen license plates. The phone going dark the night of the killings. The sticker scraped off his vehicle afterward.What makes this case uniquely disturbing is the combination of explosive violence and meticulous control. A full magazine emptied, but confined to the bedroom. Children left unharmed but orphaned. And a suspect who allegedly drove home and went back to work. That's not rage. That's architecture.#MichaelMcKee #SpencerTepe #MoniqueTepe #TepeCase #HiddenKillers #TrueCrimePodcast #ForensicPsychology #GrievanceCollector #ColumbusHomicide #DomesticViolenceMurderJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

They didn't leave. They just… disappeared. No goodbye. No explanation. Just silence. If you've ever been ghosted by a close friend or someone you loved, your brain probably didn't register a breakup. It got stuck. Stuck in a loop of ambiguous loss, searching for closure that never came. Today, we're breaking down the Psychology of Ghosting, why it hurts more than a normal breakup, why friendship breakups can cut even deeper, and why their silence is not a verdict on your worth. By the end of this episode, I want you to see something clearly: Their disappearance is not rejection. It's incapacity. Make Sense?

Knowing someone loves you is one thing. Actually feeling that love in your body and daily life is another—and that's where many relationships get stuck. In this episode, we move from problem to solution, exploring five research-backed mindsets that help love land and deepen real connection. I am joined once again by Dr. Sonja Lyubomirsky, a Distinguished Professor of Psychology at the University of California, Riverside and author of the best-selling books The How of Happiness and The Myths of Happiness. Her latest book, co-authored with Dr. Harry Reis, is titled How To Feel Loved: The Five Mindsets That Get You More Of What Matters Most. Some of the specific topics we explore in this episode include: How does the “Relationship Sea-Saw” explain the give-and-take of feeling loved? What does healthy self-disclosure actually look like in a relationship? How can couples sustain curiosity in long-term partnerships? How can we approach our relationships with more compassion and less scorekeeping? How can we learn to become better listeners and stop having repetitive conflicts?

In this episode, Michaela introduces a NEW aura color named “You Should Too Blue.” This energy shows up when someone believes their suffering should be a blueprint for how others live, heal, and grow.Michaela explores how this mindset is rooted in unhealed trauma, reinforced by 3D societal programming, and often disguised as toughness, wisdom, or “that's just how life is.” Michaela breaks down how You Should Too Blue energy manifests, why it's so common, and how it quietly perpetuates cycles of pain instead of growth.With a blend of spiritual insight, grounded psychology, and playful honesty, this episode invites you to recognize where this energy might be showing up in your life or where you may have internalized it without realizing.

Ben Felix and Braden Warwick are joined by Dr. Charles Chaffin, a leading voice in financial psychology, to explore why investors so often act against their own best interests—and how better tools and frameworks can help bridge the gap between rational plans and real human behavior. The conversation blends behavioral finance, goal setting, and risk profiling, while also introducing a new evidence-based risk tolerance questionnaire now being made publicly available to listeners. The episode digs into why humans are wired for short-term survival rather than long-term optimization, how biases and environment shape financial decisions, and why coaching—not transactions—is becoming the advisor's most important role. Charles explains concepts like money scripts, financial flashpoints, identity-based goals, and financial self-efficacy, tying them directly to investing behavior and client outcomes. The discussion also goes deep on financial risk tolerance: what it really is, why people consistently misjudge it, and why psychometric tools outperform traditional questionnaires.

Michael McKee faces two counts of aggravated murder for the shooting deaths of Spencer and Monique Tepe. The evidence against him — according to court filings and police statements — includes surveillance footage, ballistics evidence, a cell phone that went dark during the murder window, and years of documented threats against his ex-wife Monique.He pleaded not guilty.This episode explores a psychological pattern that emerges in cases where evidence is overwhelming but defendants refuse to fold. Forensic psychologists call it narcissistic grandiosity with antisocial features. We call it the game player. These are defendants who view prosecution not as consequence but as competition — the final arena to prove they're the smartest person in the room.We examine the parallels to Scott Peterson's detached courtroom demeanor, Chris Watts treating investigators like marks he could con, and Ted Bundy transforming his trial into performance art. The common thread: a fundamental inability to view other people as fully real. Victims become obstacles. Murder becomes a move. Trial becomes the championship round.According to the unsealed affidavit, McKee allegedly told Monique he could "kill her at any time," that he would "find her and buy the house next to her," and that she would "always be his wife." If prosecutors' allegations are accurate, the game started long before December 30th, 2025.The same psychology that allows someone to treat their murder trial as a puzzle may be the same psychology that allowed them to allegedly commit the crime.McKee is presumed innocent until proven guilty.

Michael McKee didn't negotiate. He didn't collapse. With surveillance footage, a ballistics match, and years of documented threats on the table, he pleaded not guilty and waived his bail hearing while reserving the right to revisit it. That's a chess move from a defendant who apparently thinks he can win.Psychotherapist Shavaun Scott — author of "The Minds of Mass Killers" — has spent three decades studying violent offenders. She explains the psychology of defendants who refuse to fold. Ted Bundy represented himself. Scott Peterson watched his trial like it was happening to someone else. Chris Watts tried to manipulate homicide detectives while his family's bodies were still being recovered. These aren't isolated behaviors — they're patterns.What is narcissistic grandiosity and where does it come from? Is it developed or innate? McKee completed over a decade of elite medical training as a surgeon. Scott analyzes whether that professional background — the ability to compartmentalize, to view complex situations as problems to be solved, to operate with precision under extreme pressure — potentially feeds into the kind of detachment we see in certain courtroom defendants. For someone like this, what does "winning" even mean if conviction is likely? And as this case moves toward trial, what courtroom behaviors would confirm we're dealing with this psychological profile?#MichaelMcKee #TrueCrimeToday #ShavaunScott #NotGuiltyPlea #TedBundy #ScottPeterson #ChrisWatts #NarcissisticGrandiosity #TepeMurders #ForensicPsychologyJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Surveillance footage placing him at the scene. A NIBIN ballistics match. A cell phone that went dark during the murder window. Years of documented threats against his ex-wife. Michael McKee looked at the state's case and pleaded not guilty anyway. He waived his bail hearing but reserved the right to revisit it later — a calculated procedural move, not a white flag.Psychotherapist Shavaun Scott wrote "The Minds of Mass Killers" and has spent thirty years evaluating violent offenders in forensic settings. She explains why certain defendants refuse to fold even when the evidence looks insurmountable. There's a profile. Ted Bundy represented himself and cross-examined witnesses about his own alleged murders. Scott Peterson watched his trial like it was happening to someone else. Chris Watts tried to manipulate homicide detectives while his family's bodies were still being recovered. The courtroom detachment isn't random — it's diagnostic.McKee is a vascular surgeon. Over a decade of elite medical training. He's operated on human bodies under extreme pressure, making life-and-death decisions with precision. Scott analyzes whether that professional identity feeds into the compartmentalization required to sit calmly while facing aggravated murder charges. What is narcissistic grandiosity and where does it come from? For someone like this, what does "winning" even mean? And the theory that won't go away: the detachment that allows someone to appear unaffected at trial may be the same mechanism that allegedly let them pull the trigger.#MichaelMcKee #MoniqueTepe #SpencerTepe #HiddenKillersLive #ShavaunScott #NotGuiltyPlea #TedBundy #ChrisWatts #NarcissisticGrandiosity #TepeMurdersJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

In this episode of Doorknob Comments, Grant and Fara chat with Dr. Tom Pollak about the complex relationship between the immune system, the brain, and mental illness. Dr. Pollak is a NIHR Clinical Lecturer at the Institute of Psychiatry, Psychology and Neuroscience at King's College London and a specialty trainee general adult psychiatrist at South London and Maudsley NHS Foundation Trust with a specialist interest in neuropsychiatry. Listeners will learn how doctors distinguish true autoimmune brain disorders from primary psychiatric conditions, why tests like spinal fluid analysis are complicated but sometimes crucial, and how both “it's all psychological” and “it's all biological” explanations can miss the bigger picture. Their conversation offers a nuanced look at how mind, brain, body, and environment interact, and why good psychiatric care requires holding all of those pieces together.We hope you enjoy.

In this wide-ranging conversation, Sarah Jeanneault shares her unconventional journey from struggling with math in school to becoming a respected leader in fintech, trading education, and enterprise knowledge management. She and Dwayne Kerrigan explore the deep gaps in financial literacy, why traditional education often fails to prepare people for real-world decision-making, and how learning truly begins after formal schooling ends.Sarah explains how she applied adult learning theory to teach herself trading, why psychology matters more than numbers in the markets, and how curiosity, pattern recognition, and humility shaped her success. The discussion expands into the future of education, AI's role in learning, entrepreneurship, identity shifts after business exits, and the emotional reality of leadership transitions. This episode is a thoughtful examination of growth, risk, and why continuous learning is the most valuable skill anyone can develop.Episode Highlights:00:00 – Sarah opens by naming the gap in real-world financial literacy.02:00 – Dwayne introduces Sarah and frames the episode around learning and reinvention.05:00 – Sarah shares struggling with math and early assumptions about intelligence.09:00 – Losing her best friend and questioning the direction of her life.14:00 – Discovering trading and applying adult learning theory to self-education.18:00 – Why financial literacy is rarely taught despite its life-long impact.23:00 – Breaking down trading basics and removing unnecessary complexity.28:00 – Psychology, emotion, and why ego derails good financial decisions.33:00 – Risk, uncertainty, and learning to sit with discomfort.38:00 – Podcasts, curiosity, and self-directed learning as modern education.44:00 – Continuous learning as the foundation of entrepreneurship and leadership.49:00 – Gamifying learning to build confidence and consistency over time.54:00 – Building community through transparency and shared learning.59:00 – Scaling education-driven businesses and teaching at scale.64:00 – Identity shifts after acquisitions and redefining success.69:00 – Leadership, disagreement, and creating psychologically safe teams.74:00 – AI, critical thinking, and the future of learning.79:00 – Personal growth, reinvention, and staying curious long-term.84:00 – Reflections on learning, humility, and what truly creates confidence.88:00 – Closing thoughts, gratitude, and setting up Part 2.Key Takeaways:Financial literacy is rarely taught, yet deeply shapes life decisions.Learning accelerates when curiosity replaces fear of being “bad at math.”Real education often begins after formal schooling ends.Trading and business are driven as much by psychology as by data.Growth comes from pattern recognition, experimentation, and reflection.Entrepreneurship requires comfort with uncertainty and identity shifts.AI will amplify learning — but only if critical thinking is prioritized.Strong leaders create environments where disagreement is encouraged.Sustainable success comes from continuous learning and reinvention.Resources...

Alt-R&B artist rum.gold joins host Matt Whyte with Dr. Nim Tottenham, Chair of Psychology at Columbia University, for a live taping centered on his song and video “Is It Something I Said.” What begins as a conversation about a music video portraying a mother and son living with anxiety, grief, and hoarding becomes a striking window into Dr. Tottenham's research on how early caregiving and stress shape the developing brain — and how those early emotional environments can echo into adulthood as anxiety, attachment struggles, and dysregulation. Taped live at Ludlow House in NYC on January 27, 2026 as part of the On Air presents series.

You can be deeply loved—and still not feel it. In this episode, we’re exploring the gap between being loved and feeling loved, the myths that keep love from landing, and how modern life can amplify disconnection. If you've ever felt unseen, insecure, or lonely inside an otherwise good relationship, this conversation will help you understand why, and what you can do about it. My guest is Dr. Sonja Lyubomirsky, a Distinguished Professor of Psychology at the University of California, Riverside and author of the best-selling books The How of Happiness and The Myths of Happiness. Her latest book, co-authored with Dr. Harry Reis, is titled How To Feel Loved: The Five Mindsets That Get You More Of What Matters Most. Some of the specific topics we explore in this episode include: Why do so many people struggle to feel loved, even when they clearly are? How can admiration and praise actually leave us feeling lonelier? Why does believing you have to “earn” love block you from experiencing it? What happens to our mental health, relationships, and desire when we don't feel loved? How is modern technology undermining our sense of connection?

Terri brings over 20 years of experience in medical devices, aesthetics, sales psychology, and healthcare consulting. She's worked across oncology, cardiology, endocrinology, dermatology, plastic surgery, med spas, and integrative wellness — and now helps cash-based practices dramatically improve revenue, efficiency, and client results.

The affidavit is unsealed and the details are damning. Michael McKee allegedly told Monique Tepe he could kill her "at any time," that he would find her and "buy the house right next to her," and that "she will always be his wife." This was eight years after their divorce. Robin Dreeke, former head of the FBI's Counterintelligence Behavioral Analysis Program, breaks down the psychology of possessive violence — what these specific statements reveal about McKee's mindset, why the eight-year timeline is behaviorally significant, and what the December 6th reconnaissance trip to their property tells us about premeditation versus impulse. Documents allege McKee was spotted on surveillance entering the Tepe home while Spencer and Monique were at the Big Ten Championship game in Indianapolis — and he stayed for several hours. Monique left that game at halftime, upset about something involving her ex-husband. She sensed it. Robin explains how victims develop that gut-level awareness before they can point to concrete evidence — and why the standard safety playbook sometimes isn't enough when dealing with someone who refuses to accept that a relationship is over.#MichaelMcKee #MoniqueTepe #SpencerTepe #TepeMurders #RobinDreeke #FBIAgent #TrueCrime #ColumbusOhio #HiddenKillersLive #DomesticViolenceJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

In this episode, we sit down with three disinformation researchers whose new paper found something surprising about both our resistance and our susceptibility to both true news we wish was fake and fake news we wish was true.Our guests are three of the scientists exploring a newly named cognitive distortion, one that every human being is prone to exhibiting, one that is so common and so easily provoked that nefarious actors depend on it when distributing disinformation and propaganda.Samuel Woolley, Katie Joseff, and Michael Schwalbe will share their methods, findings, and takeaways. They will also explain the troublesome nature of something they are calling concordance over truth bias – a distortion that most often appears in those who have the most (undeserved) confidence in their own (not-so-objective) objectivity. - How Minds Change- Show Notes- Newsletter- David McRaney's BlueSky- David McRaney's Twitter- YANSS Twitter- Why Do We Share Our Feelings With Others?- Concordance Over Truth Bias- Samuel Wooley- Katie Joseff- Michael Schwalbe- Geoffrey Cohen Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Is the real crisis today economic — or architectural? In this episode, we challenge the idea that loneliness and despair come from a broken ladder of upward mobility. What if the problem isn't that we can't climb… but that we were taught to measure our worth by climbing in the first place? Drawing from Middlemarch, modern work culture, and personal experience, this conversation explores why craftsmanship, authorship, and daily building may be the antidote to vertical despair.In this episode:Why the “career ladder” mindset fuels anxiety and comparisonThe difference between climbing and buildingHow craftsmanship creates internal pride (and hunger)What Lydgate's crisis in Middlemarch teaches us about collapsed ambitionWhy being seen — not promoted — can save a lifeThe power of asking: “Am I actually in danger right now?”Moving from passive consumption to generative actionHow to build meaning even when the system feels unstable

With over 45,000 individual coaching sessions and two decades of empowering entrepreneurs and executives, Trevor shares how he turned personal devastation into a multi-million-dollar mission of helping others achieve freedom and fulfillment. From Failure to Freedom Trevor's journey began with losing everything—his savings, a six-figure family loan, and nearly his marriage—after a failed real estate investment. From that rock bottom, he rebuilt his life and business, developing the resilience that would become the foundation of his coaching philosophy. Personally selected by Tony Robbins as one of his top business coaches, Trevor spent five years mastering the art of transformation, earning what he calls his “Black Belt in Coaching.” The Psychology of Quantum Leaps Now leading Trevor McGregor International, he helps already-successful entrepreneurs, investors, and Fortune 500 executives break through their current ceilings by aligning mindset, identity, and strategy. Trevor explains how identity transformation drives exponential results (10X or even 100X) and how combining psychology with strategy can create the “freedom lifestyle” he enjoys between Canada and Australia—his personal “endless summer.” Key Insights & Takeaways Why losing everything became the catalyst for Trevor's greatest growth How identity work creates quantum breakthroughs faster than strategy alone The psychology behind building wealth and generational freedom How to design a business that supports your ideal lifestyle Lessons learned from coaching clients managing over $2.7 billion in assets Topics of Expertise Discussed From Rock Bottom to Empire: Rebuilding after loss The Joe Fairless Masterclass: Coaching one of the top real estate minds Psychology Meets Strategy: Avoiding burnout through alignment The Freedom Code: Building legacy wealth and time freedom The Quantum Leap Framework: Transforming identity for faster results About Trevor McGregor Trevor McGregor is a high-performance master coach and international speaker who has helped clients generate billions in revenue and assets under management.

Why do you keep comparing yourself to everyone else, even people you love? Why does competition creep into friendships, relationships, work, and social media… even when you know it's making you feel worse? In this episode, I break down the psychology of comparison and competition. Why your brain gets stuck in it, why some situations trigger you more than others, and how to end the comparison cycle permanently, not just “manage” it. We talk about: Why comparison isn't the problem, loss of self-trust is How triggers reveal where you've outsourced your worth The difference between healthy ambition and toxic competition Why comparing yourself to friends and siblings hurts the most How social media intensifies insecurity without you realising The psychology behind competing for validation, attention, and approval How to stop competing in friendships, dating, and everyday life The mindset shift that makes comparison lose its power for good This episode is for anyone who feels behind, constantly measures themselves against others, or is exhausted by the quiet mental competition they can't seem to turn off. If comparison is draining your confidence, affecting your relationships, or keeping you stuck, this episode will help you understand why it happens and exactly how to step out of it for good.
