We've normalized debt, student loans, car payments, credit cards, and convinced ourselves it's just the cost of adulthood. But what if it's actually the biggest barrier to the life you want? In this episode, I break down why most of us are drowning in consumer debt, how we got here, and what it really takes to climb out.For more go to: www.scottmlynch.comEpisode resources:100 books that have shaped my thinking the mostLevel up your life by joining my Patreon where you'll get exclusive content every week and more badass offerings (rips t-shirt in half, Hulk Hogan style, and runs around the room).

There are moments when sitting down to do something meaningful feels physically uncomfortable, like your brain is actively protesting. You open your laptop with the best intentions, and five minutes later, you're in a black hole of browser tabs, group chats, and a suspicious number of snack breaks. Why is it so hard to focus, especially on the stuff that actually matters? In this episode, I unpack the science behind that resistance, why our brains crave distraction, how dopamine has hijacked our motivation system, and why chasing pleasure might be the exact thing pulling us away from purpose.For more go to: www.scottmlynch.comLevel up your life by joining my Patreon where you'll get exclusive content every week and more badass offerings (rips t-shirt in half, Hulk Hogan style, and runs around the room).

Most self-help advice makes me cringe. Vision boards, “manifesting,” and the whole daily affirmation thing? Yeah, I've always put that in the woo-woo category. But lately, I've been stuck in my head, wrestling with self-doubt, perfectionism, and the classic case of overthinking everything. So I decided to try something that made me deeply uncomfortable: staring at myself in the mirror and saying things like “I am enough.” And no, I didn't spontaneously combust from secondhand embarrassment. In this episode, I test daily affirmations for a week, even the corny ones, and rope my wife into writing a few that are, well, questionable at best.For more go to: www.scottmlynch.comLevel up your life by joining my Patreon where you'll get exclusive content every week and more badass offerings (rips t-shirt in half, Hulk Hogan style, and runs around the room).

Ever stared at your to-do list and felt like it was staring back, daring you to make the first move? You're not lazy. Your brain's just doing what it was built to do: avoid discomfort, conserve energy, and protect you from anything that feels even slightly threatening, like starting that massive project you've been putting off for months. In this episode, I break down one of the simplest yet most effective ways to bypass your brain's panic button and finally get started: The 5 Minute Rule.For more go to: www.scottmlynch.comLevel up your life by joining my Patreon where you'll get exclusive content every week and more badass offerings (rips t-shirt in half, Hulk Hogan style, and runs around the room).

When I launched this podcast six years ago, I imagined big things: millions of downloads, awards, and overnight success. But that's not what happened. Instead, I got eight downloads. And no, that's not a metaphor. In this episode, I share what actually kept me going when no one was listening. It wasn't hustle. It wasn't motivation. It was something much simpler, and much harder to stick with.For more go to: www.scottmlynch.comLevel up your life by joining my Patreon where you'll get exclusive content every week and more badass offerings (rips t-shirt in half, Hulk Hogan style, and runs around the room).

I love to travel. And I also kind of hate it. On one hand, you're soaking in new cultures, trying unfamiliar foods, and pushing your comfort zone in all the right ways. On the other hand, your routine gets kicked in the face, your healthy habits vanish, and you leave feeling like you need a vacation from your vacation. After years of getting it wrong, I finally figured out how to travel without torching my well-being, and it all came down to one surprisingly simple shift. In this episode, I share the one thing that's helped me stay grounded, energized, and healthy on the road.For more go to: www.scottmlynch.comThis episode is brought to you by:TonalLevel up your life by joining my Patreon where you'll get exclusive content every week and more badass offerings (rips t-shirt in half, Hulk Hogan style, and runs around the room).

Imagine gaining back 2.5 months of your life, every single year. That's how much time the average person spends on their phone. And if you're like most of us, that screen time is spent scrolling, tapping, and chasing tiny red dots.

We're constantly told that to build a successful business, we need to scale. More revenue, more employees, more followers—more everything. But what if more isn't the goal?

I used to be the guy who wore a “HUSTLE” shirt unironically and believed burnout was just part of the process. Fourteen-hour days? Normal. Skipping meals? Efficient. Chasing the next milestone without stopping to ask why? Standard practice. But at some point, the question hit me: What is it all for?

There's a special kind of cringe that comes from looking at photos of yourself at twenty. The weird haircut. The questionable fashion choices. The unshakable belief that you've got life all figured out. In this episode, I unpack the most transformative decade of my life, my twenties.

Technology has done a lot of good. It's connected us, empowered creators, and even helped us dodge awkward high school reunions. But somewhere along the way, our devices became more of a distraction than a tool.

But I stumbled across one small change that helped me actually get ahead and enjoy the work I was doing again. In this episode, I unpack the underrated time strategy that's helped me simplify my schedule, protect my focus, and get more done with less stress. No hacks. No hustle culture.

In a world obsessed with upgrades, it's easy to convince yourself that you need the latest phone, laptop, or wireless noise-canceling, soul-soothing, AI-optimized headphones. But let's be honest, you probably don't need that.

You don't need to scale a mountain or surf a 100-foot wave to hit your peak. In fact, unlocking your full potential might be a lot simpler, and a lot more boring, than you think. In this episode, I unpack the science behind “flow,” that elusive state where time vanishes, focus sharpens, and we perform at our absolute best. Inspired by the work of author and journalist Steven Kotler, I dive into how elite athletes, creatives, and everyday people are using flow to redefine what's possible.For more go to: www.scottmlynch.comLevel up your life by joining my Patreon where you'll get exclusive content every week and more badass offerings (rips t-shirt in half, Hulk Hogan style, and runs around the room).

Uncertainty is that invisible weight we all carry, quietly dictating our decisions, our stress levels, and, occasionally, how many iPhones we think we need to survive a trade war. In this episode, I break down how to stop letting uncertainty run the show, how to identify your response style, why panic rarely helps, and how overpreparing can be just as useless as not preparing at all.For more go to: www.scottmlynch.comLevel up your life by joining my Patreon where you'll get exclusive content every week and more badass offerings (rips t-shirt in half, Hulk Hogan style, and runs around the room).

We all want to be more productive, right? But what does true productivity look like today? In this episode, I dive into how the definition of productivity has evolved—from the Industrial Revolution's quest to do more with less, to today's goal of creating space for what actually matters.

Have you ever wondered how the physical act of speaking can improve your communication? Kevin sits down with Michael Chad Hoeppner to discuss the physical nature of communication and exercises we can do to get better. Michael challenges our common assumptions about speaking, such as believing it's purely a mental activity. Instead, he introduces the concept of embodied cognition, explaining how communication is a physical activity involving over 100 muscles and should be approached like athletic training. Michael shares the science behind thought suppression and why focusing on "not saying um" is counterproductive. He also talks about the Five Ps of vocal variety (Pace, Pitch, Pause, Power, Placement) and how they impact your message.

Disability rights activist Tim Shriver, Chairman of Special Olympics, editor of The Call to Unite and author of Fully Alive, delves into the profound impact of unity and dignity in education and beyond. Shriver eloquently discusses the transformative power of inclusion, recounting personal anecdotes and professional experiences that highlight how bringing people together fosters empathy, resilience, and a sense of belonging. He emphasizes the critical role of educators in nurturing these values, advocating for the integration of programs like unified sports and Best Buddies in schools to bridge divides and promote mutual respect.
