Sometimes at the end of the school year I feel completely drained. Sometimes in a good way, because we've done everything I wanted to get to. But sometimes I'm drained because we were so focused on the work that we didn't fit enough of the rest or play that we needed. And honestly, that's completely normal. You've spent months pouring yourself out for your family, checking all the boxes, managing all the schedules, and carrying all the responsibilities, if rest and fun aren't on your check-list, then of course they won't get done! Unfortunately what can happen is that when summer finally arrives, it can feel tempting to swing from one extreme to the other and you might end up spending the entire summer putting off anything that feels like work, because your brain doesn't want to go back there.

Fancy Scientist: A Material Girl Living in a Sustainable World
Do you want a wildlife, conservation, or environmental sciences career, but feel that it is not physically possible for you? Do you have health challenges or a condition that limits you and are worried that it prevents you from working in a field that is notoriously demanding? Or do you feel discriminated against because of these circumstances? You are not alone! I have heard from aspiring wildlife biologists all over the world that they struggle with conditions like chronic fatigue, anxiety, sight disabilities, strokes, ADHD, and more and are concerned that they can't work in this field, which they love so much. I, myself, struggle with an autoimmune condition that greatly slows down my metabolism, and has made me heavily fatigued at key points in my career. Well, in this week's episode of the Fancy Scientist Podcast, I'm showing you that it's possible for you with an interview with a young conservationist who blew me away with her unstoppable attitude. When I first heard Grace O'Dea speak on a Green Jobs webinar event, I was so inspired by her story that I knew I had to have her on the podcast. Grace has cerebral palsy, and at 17, she was told by someone that her lack of upper-body strength meant that she could never work in an animal career. But that's not where her story ended…In fact, she used that “no,” as ammunition to propel her wildlife career. Today she is a permanent educator at a major aquarium and has previously worked in physically demanding jobs at farms and zoos, proving that naysayer wrong.This week's episode of the Fancy Scientist Podcast is all about NOT accepting no as an answer when it comes to pursuing your dreams or whatever conservation goal you want to accomplish no matter what your circumstances are. If you want to work in the wildlife field, you'll want to listen for sure, but this episode is for everyone. No matter what you were going after in your career or even your life, the lessons that Grace shares will apply to the seemingly impossible situation that you are going through. Through our conversation, you'll learn how Grace navigated her path by refusing to let her disability define her. She didn't let being questioned stop her; instead, she purposely built her physical strength at the gym. She didn't hide her disability either. Rather, she voiced her concerns to employers so that they could find ways to work with her condition rather than around it. Grace shares her experience working with everything from hedgehogs to wild deer, and how she uses positive messaging and hope to impact the public rather than the typical conservation messages of doom and gloom. She explains how she handles the physical aspects of her current and past jobs and why being "ballsy" and confident is your greatest asset, even if you are naturally shy or introverted.And the results of her boldness are incredible! Grace started as a seasonal employee, but she didn't just wait for it to end and look for something else. Instead, she took the initiative to email her bosses and ask if her position could be made permanent. And it worked! She now has a full-time permanent position as a conservation educator delivering daily talks to aquarium guests and teaching the next generation about ocean conservation.Grace also excels at networking. She lets us in on her strategies, which led to her being invited as a guest speaker for her university's graduation and connecting with influencers in the green jobs space. We talk about how she leverages LinkedIn by active and intentional posting, using hashtags strategically, and attracting professionals to her profile through sharing her personal and professional achievements. I also noticed that Grace is a fancy scientist herself. We discuss her fancy side and how she owns her personal style and unique comedic value to be an unconventional, yet highly effective educator. After the interview, I break down key take-home points for you to apply to your own career or situation, including sharing resources helping you adopt Grace's unstoppable mindset, using LinkedIn as a search strategy, and why you should never be afraid to ask for a job extension or a permanent role.If you ever thought you couldn't pursue conservation because of a health condition, your background, or a lack of financial resources, Grace is living proof that it's all possible! After listening to this episode, I know you'll walk away filled with hope, and ready to face the challenge in your career head on.Specifically, we talk about:Grace's career path from graduation to securing a permanent educator role at an aquariumWhat it was like for Grace to work at various kinds of animal organizations and places including farms and zoosMagical wildlife moments from Grace's career such as stampeding deer and circling buzzards, and humbling moments like collecting hedgehog poopWhy you shouldn't "play it safe" if you have a passion for animals and want to pursue this kind of workThe critical importance of a resilient mindset when facing physical or psychological barriers in the fieldHow to navigate a wildlife career while managing a disability or other health condition including when and how to disclose health conditions and get accommodationsHow to ask for what you want in wildlife work The power of LinkedIn for attracting employers and why posting once a week can change your career trajectoryGrace's dissertation research on positive vs. negative messaging in conservation campaignsHow to give the public hope through small, actionable steps like beach clean-up And more!Jump links:03:53 Meet Grace O'Day06:02 Told No at 1707:54 Finding Her Why08:42 Aquarium Career Path11:55 Turning Seasonal Permanent16:14 Impact Through Education19:20 Navigating Cerebral Palsy at Work25:52 Networking With LinkedIn29:50 LinkedIn for Wildlife Careers Masterclass 31:33 Hedgehog Sanctuary Stories34:08 Being A Fancy Scientist35:25 Advice And Future Plans38:00 Key Takeaways And WrapDream of being a wildlife biologist, zoologist, conservation biologist, or ecologist?

Most of us don't think about brain health until something goes wrong. We think it's normal to experience brain fog or we just accept cognitive decline is inevitable as we age. Science shows you can physically change your brain at any age. You can grow new neurons, build stronger connections, and even shrink your risk of Alzheimer's — and it doesn't require anything mysterious or extreme. My guest is Dr. Majid Fotuhi, a renowned neurologist and one of the world's leading experts in brain health. He received his MD from Harvard Medical School and his PhD in Neuroscience from Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, where he now serves as an adjunct professor at the Mind/Brain Institute. He's also the author of the new book The Invincible Brain. Some of the things we discuss are: Why your brain is an organ you can care for like your teeth or your heart — not a mysterious black box you're stuck with The 12-week brain fitness study that showed older adults physically grew their brains by 1–3%, making them up to three years younger on an MRI Why genetics play a surprisingly small role in late-life Alzheimer's — and how exercise can cancel out the effects of the highest-risk gene The exact amount of exercise that strengthens your brain (and why doing more than this won't help) Why sleep is an active brain-cleaning process — and what 20+ years of insomnia does to the memory center of your brain The one rule about food Dr. Fotuhi cares about more than keto vs. Mediterranean vs. vegetarian How chronic stress physically shrinks your brain, plus the perspective shift his daughter learned that keeps her calm under pressure Simple daily ways to challenge your brain — from memorizing names to license plates in traffic The Therapist's Take: My top three strategies for building a physically stronger, younger brain starting today Related Episodes 91 — The Biggest Threats to Your Brain Health and the Lifestyle Changes You Should Make Today to Stay Sharp with Dr. Austin Perlmutter 212 — What Are You Feeding Your Brain?

Fancy Scientist: A Material Girl Living in a Sustainable World
Do you have a lingering desire to start a wildlife career, but feel like it might be too late for you? Or maybe you're working on a wildlife career, but it isn't working for you, and time just keeps passing by? You got the degree, but then life got in the way, and you even had to get a non-wildlife job to pay the bills…Well, I'm here to tell you that whether you're 25, 45, or older, a wildlife career IS still possible for you (and yes, I get by 25-year-olds who think they are too late), and this week's Fancy Scientist podcast episode really proves it! I interviewed Yellowstone Park Ranger Lynda Moore about her journey from radiologist to environmental educator and what it's really like to work in one of the most famous protected areas. Lynda first spent 28 years working in healthcare before deciding to return to school in 2017. She graduated with her degree in wildlife conservation biology in 2021, just two weeks before her 58th birthday! Now, she is working in one of the most coveted locations in the world for wildlife job seekers: Yellowstone National Park.Through our conversation, you'll learn how Linda navigated the challenges of being a non-traditional student and successfully landed a position with the National Park Service. She didn't let age hold her back or fears about ageism in the workplace. In fact, she embraced her past experiences and used them to her advantage, leveraging her work as a radiologist to her new career while focusing on new strategies to land her a park service job. You'll learn that Lynda emphasized networking and learning from others, building relationships with professors and graduate students while getting her degree. She shares how she willingly raised her hand for new opportunities, including counting bee behaviors in a lab and driving across the country for internships.You'll also get an insider's perspective on the fascinating, and sometimes dangerous, reality of working in America's first National Park. Lynda discusses her role as an interpretive ranger, educating the public on everything from the park's unique thermal geology to the "Big Five" wildlife species in the United States. She shares eye-opening stories about "babysitting" a 2,000-pound bison and the constant struggle to keep tourists at a safe distance from unpredictable wild animals.I also asked Lynda about the technical side of landing a federal job. She credits her success to having a mentor help her navigate the notoriously difficult federal resume process. You'll learn about the new federal resume requirements and how she transitioned from the "healthcare brain" to the "biologist brain," and how she carried over the work ethic and supervisory skills from her previous career that made her a standout candidate.After the interview, I break down the take-home points that you can apply to your own journey, regardless of your age. I explain how previous "unrelated" career experience can actually contain a variety of transferable skills for wildlife jobs, how to network with people who are decades younger (or older) than you, and how seeking outside help from professionals can help you navigate something like the frustration of the federal application system.If you've ever told yourself you're "too old," that "it's too late," or that "employers won't hire someone my age," Linda is living proof that the National Park Service, and the wildlife field at large, needs your experience and your passion! And even if you aren't working towards a wildlife career, in this episode, you'll be fascinated by what it's like to work inside one of the world's most iconic parks. Specifically, we talk about:Linda's steps from a 28-year career in radiology to becoming a Park Ranger at YellowstoneWhat it's like to go back to school in your 50s and graduate alongside your own daughterHow starting your career later in life can work to your advantage: using "adult money" and maturity can be a competitive edge in wildlife workBehind-the-scenes of working at Old Faithful and educating the public on thermal safetyWhy "interpreting" wildlife behavior is actually a safety talk in disguiseFascinating animal facts and the emotional impact of seeing a wolf in the wild for the first timeLynda's most impactful animal moment with Lucy the Orangutan at the National ZooPractical tips for federal resumes and navigating the shift from long-form to two-page limitsThe reality of seasonal life in temporary wildlife workThe importance of using informational interviews to learn the "hidden" requirements of jobsWhy you should never underestimate yourself before you even apply for a jobThe mindset shift needed to overcome imposter syndrome as a career switcherHow protecting the natural world starts with educating a single tourist or childJump Links:02:56 Meet Ranger Linda04:13 Career Switch Story05:36 Internships And Mentors07:38 Landing Yellowstone Job08:24 Seasonal Life Logistics10:41 Ranger Duties Explained13:32 Visitor Questions And History15:24 Expectations Versus Reality18:08 Wildlife Safety Lessons19:52 Craziest Tourist Encounters25:04 Bison Babysitting And Bears27:44 Choosing Biology Later32:23 Networking in School34:09 Ageism and Confidence37:06 Federal Resume Tips39:40 Unforgettable Animal Moments43:52 Teaching Predators Balance45:39 How to Get Hired49:32 Key Takeaways Wrap UpDream of being a wildlife biologist, zoologist, conservation biologist, or ecologist?

This year we went out on grass almost six weeks earlier than we ever have, and right after we did, it started freezing hard again. Today I want to talk about what that actually looks like operationally, specifically what happens to electric netting stakes in a hard-freeze climate, why that matters, and what we changed to make it work.

Co-Hosts Tess Bridgeman and Rachel Goldbrenner are joined by Rebecca Ingber and Brian Finucane to examine the escalating U.S. campaign of killings of suspected drug traffickers at sea under “Operation Southern Spear” following the January 2026 capture of Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro. The conversation explores the U.S. military operations in Venezuela and the intensifying campaign of lethal strikes in the Caribbean and eastern Pacific, unpacks the Trump administration's legal justifications, and looks at potential avenues for accountability.

Many of the ways we show up in relationships aren't random…they're roles we learned early in life to navigate our environment and stay connected. In this episode, we take a closer look at the common roles people carry into adulthood and how those patterns quietly influence communication, boundaries, and emotional connection. Through relatable examples, this conversation helps you recognize how these roles may be showing up in your own life—and why they can feel so hard to change. With a grounded, realistic approach, you'll begin to see how awareness of these patterns can open the door to more honest and balanced relationships. You didn't become "the easy one," "the funny one," or "the strong one" for no reason. You became who you needed to be. Check Out this New Resource: Get Started Asking for What You Need!

2026 Colorado landlord laws introduced more housing-related bills than any year in recent memory — and landlords nearly paid a steep price. One proposal would have let tenants halt evictions mid-process with claims as vague as “transportation issues.” Another would have required landlords to attach a full lease to every demand notice. Neither passed — but the margin was closer than most investors realize. Chris Lopez sits down with Brandon Scholten, owner of Keyrenter Denver and a deeply active voice in Colorado landlord advocacy. Brandon manages over 1,100 doors across the metro area and has held a personal rental portfolio since 2012. He’s been tracking Colorado’s housing legislation for years and came to this conversation with his most detailed briefing yet. If you own rentals in Colorado, understanding Colorado landlord laws in 2026 is no longer optional. This episode covers every bill that moved through the session — what passed, what was killed, and what’s quietly still working its way through the process. Brandon breaks down real case studies from his own managed properties, including a mold remediation on Laden Street that triggered the new habitability law’s full alternate housing requirements, and a domestic violence case where both spouses filed simultaneously. In This Episode We Cover: The eviction bill that nearly passed — and the 80 people who showed up to stop it Colorado’s new utility billing clarification: how to allocate shared utilities without sub-metering (which was running $9,000+ per building) What the warranty of habitability expansion actually requires when a tenant reports mold — 72-hour containment, alternate housing, and a daily per diem The 30-day notice rule now baked into Colorado law for federally backed properties How the domestic violence bill plays out when both parties in a lease file simultaneously The fee disclosure law in effect since January 2026 — and why Zillow compliance is still inconsistent New security deposit rules: 10-year useful life on carpet, itemized receipts required, and walkthrough rights The direction of Colorado landlord laws in 2026 is clear — and the investors who stay informed are the ones who stay protected.

Felix Hoffmann is the co-founder of 7Learnings, where he helps companies move from intuition-based pricing to predictive, data-driven pricing systems. He previously led pricing optimization at Zalando, managing pricing across millions of products and markets—giving him a front-row seat to how pricing actually behaves in the real world. In this episode, instead of relying on gut feel or delayed results, Felix introduces predictive pricing—a system that forecasts the impact of price changes before you make them. They break down why most pricing decisions today are still reactive, how companies are leaving profit on the table by not simulating outcomes, and why testing alone isn't enough anymore. If you've ever changed prices and hoped for the best—this episode will challenge that approach. Why You Have to Listen: If you're changing prices without knowing what will happen—this episode shows you a better way. Understand why testing pricing isn't enough—and what comes after testing. Discover how companies are using simulations to make faster, smarter pricing decisions. "You shouldn't decide based on gut feeling—you should decide based on what you predict will happen." — Felix Hoffmann Topics Covered: 01:30 – What Is Predictive Pricing? How to forecast the impact of price changes before making them 04:00 – Why "Should We Change Price?" Is the Wrong Question The real question: what happens if you change it 07:00 – What You Need to Predict (Beyond Sales) Profit, costs, returns, and long-term effects of pricing decisions 13:30 – Why Testing Alone Isn't Enough You can't test everything—so you need simulations 17:00 – Competitor Pricing: Guessing vs Predicting Why most companies match competitors blindly—and how to avoid it 20:30 – The Role of External Signals (Weather, Seasonality, Trends) How real-world factors shape pricing decisions 23:30 – B2B vs B2C Pricing Reality Why predictive pricing is easier in high-volume environments 29:00 – Final Advice: Predict First, Decide Second Why simulation is the missing layer in pricing strategy Key Takeaways: "The question is not: should I change my price? The question is: what happens if I change it?" — Felix Hoffmann "Nobody is doing perfect decisions today… perfect decisions would require mathematical optimization." — Felix Hoffmann Resources Mentioned: 7Learnings – Platform for predictive pricing and revenue optimization Zalando – Example of large-scale pricing optimization Connect with Felix Hoffmann: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/felix-hoffmann-7learnings/ Website: https://7learnings.com/ Connect with Mark Stiving: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/stiving/ Email: mark@impactpricing.com

Hey friends, Chase here Let's talk about something that gets romanticized way too much in the creative world: inspiration. We've been taught to wait for it. To trust it. To believe that the best work comes when lightning strikes, when the muse shows up, when the feeling is right. And while inspiration is real — and beautiful when it arrives — it's also wildly unreliable. That's the trap. If you build your creative life around inspiration, you build it around something you cannot control. And anything you can't control is a dangerous foundation for a meaningful body of work. This episode is about a better way. A steadier way. A more durable way. It's about why creativity doesn't really grow from waiting for a feeling — it grows from compounding action. Small acts. Repeated over time. Daily deposits into the account of your craft. Tiny efforts that don't seem like much in the moment, but eventually become impossible to ignore. Because the truth is simple: you do not need to feel inspired to make something meaningful. You need to begin. And then begin again tomorrow. The Real Problem With Waiting for Inspiration At the start of the episode, I ask a question that's worth sitting with for a minute: When was the last time you made something just for the sake of making it? Not for a client. Not for social media. Not because someone was expecting it. Not because it was due. Just because you felt a pull to create. For a lot of people, that question lands hard. Not because the desire to create is gone — but because somewhere along the way, the conditions got heavy. The pressure increased. The stakes changed. Creation stopped being play and started becoming performance. And once that happens, inspiration starts to feel like a requirement. Like you need the right mood, the right window of time, the right environment, the right burst of confidence before you can begin. But that's backwards. Inspiration is not the engine. It's the byproduct. The people who make meaningful work consistently are rarely sitting around waiting to feel magical. They're working. They're practicing. They're trying things. They're showing up on ordinary days. They're making imperfect things and learning from the process. They understand that action creates momentum — and momentum often creates the feeling we mistakenly thought had to come first. The Core Idea: Creativity Compounds Most people understand compounding in the context of money. You invest a little. That investment earns returns. Then those returns start earning returns of their own. If you stick with it long enough, the early effort starts to multiply in ways that seem almost disproportionate to the original input. That same principle applies to creativity. Every day you make something, you are making a deposit into your creative future. You're not just producing one photo, one page, one sketch, one draft, one conversation, one attempt. You're building skill. You're building confidence. You're building pattern recognition. You're building stamina. You're building trust with yourself. That one photograph teaches you how to see a little better tomorrow. That paragraph in your journal makes the next paragraph easier to write. That rough idea you abandon still shapes the way your brain approaches the next one. None of it is wasted. That's important, because a lot of creative people dismiss the small efforts. They only count the big breakthroughs. They only respect the obvious wins. They think the work "counts" once it becomes polished, public, profitable, or impressive. But real creative growth doesn't work that way. The invisible reps are where the change is happening. Why the Early Returns Feel So Small One reason people stop too soon is because the beginning is incredibly deceptive. You show up. You try. You make the thing. And at first? Not much seems to happen. You don't feel transformed. You don't suddenly become excellent. You don't necessarily get recognition. You may not even like what you made. That's normal. It's a lot like going to the gym. The first handful of workouts don't make you feel powerful. Usually they make you feel sore. Awkward. Behind. You don't see visible results yet, so your brain starts questioning whether the effort is worth it. That's exactly where most people quit. Not because the process isn't working — but because the results are still compounding beneath the surface. The habit is the investment. The work is the interest. And in the background, whether you notice it or not, something is building. What Compounding Looks Like in Real Life If you commit to a creative practice, the shifts usually happen in phases. Day one: you make something and it feels mediocre. Maybe embarrassing, even. You put it out there anyway. Or maybe you keep it private. Either way, you made something. That matters. Day 30: you've stayed with it long enough to feel a difference. You might not be able to articulate exactly how you're better, but something is changing. You're a little less hesitant. A little more practiced. A little more willing to hit publish, or share, or trust your instincts. Day 90: now the changes are harder to deny. You're solving problems faster. You're making decisions with more confidence. The work has a different quality to it — one that may be difficult to name but easy to feel. Day 365: this is where it gets almost shocking. You look back at who you were when you started, and it's hard to believe that version of you made the early work. Your skills have evolved. Your identity has evolved. The way you think has evolved. Not because inspiration struck once in a dramatic breakthrough — but because repeated practice changed you. That's the magic most people miss. The transformation doesn't come from a single moment. It comes from stacking enough ordinary moments that they eventually become extraordinary. Inspiration Follows Habit This may be the most important idea in the entire episode: Inspiration follows the habit. It does not precede it. Read that again. We tend to imagine that creative people feel inspired first, and then they make. But most of the time, the opposite is true. They make first. They enter the work first. They return to the practice first. And somewhere along the way, inspiration catches up to them. The muse is far more likely to visit the person already working than the person waiting for certainty on the couch. This matters because it gives you your power back. If you believe inspiration has to arrive before you begin, you are helpless every time it doesn't show up. If you understand that inspiration often arrives after action begins, then you're no longer blocked by your feelings. You can move anyway. That doesn't make the process robotic. It makes it resilient. Why Daily Practice Changes More Than Skill When people hear "practice," they often think only about technical improvement. Better camera work. Better writing. Better editing. Better design. Better speaking. Better execution. And yes — practice absolutely improves craft. But that's only part of the story. Practice also changes your mindset. It changes your tolerance for uncertainty. It changes your willingness to be seen before you feel ready. It changes your ability to recover from a rough day or a bad draft or a failed attempt. It changes your relationship to discomfort. Over time, you become tougher. Not harsher. Not more closed. Just sturdier. You stop interpreting every hard day as a sign you've lost your way. You start recognizing resistance as part of the process rather than proof that you should stop. That's a deep kind of growth. And it's only available through repetition. What Most People Get Wrong About Creative Success A lot of people think the biggest differentiator is talent. Sometimes they think it's access. Or timing. Or luck. Or confidence. And while all of those things may play a role, one of the most underrated advantages in any creative life is much simpler: The willingness to keep going. Most people quit. They stop when the returns are still invisible. They stop when it gets repetitive. They stop when they feel embarrassed. They stop when the novelty wears off. They stop when they don't get immediate validation. They stop when they confuse discomfort with misalignment. But if you stay in the game — if you continue stacking daily habits, continuing to invest, continuing to return to the work — you start benefiting from a force that only rewards consistency. You begin to outlast the people who were relying only on excitement. You begin to build a body of work that couldn't have been created any other way. You begin to trust yourself not because everything feels easy, but because you've proven that you can continue when it doesn't. What You'll Hear in This Episode This is a short micro show, but it carries a big message. Here's what to listen for: Why making something for play matters — and how easy it is to drift away from that instinct when everything becomes about output, audience, or obligation How the concept of compounding interest applies directly to creativity — and why small repeated actions build more than we realize Why the early phase of practice feels unrewarding — even when it's working exactly as it should What happens at day 1, day 30, day 90, and day 365 when you commit to daily creative action Why inspiration is a result of the habit, not the prerequisite for it How persistence quietly becomes one of the greatest creative advantages you can have Timecodes (So You Can Jump to What You Need) 01:47 – The opening question: when was the last time you made something just for play? 02:32 – Why we shouldn't lean on inspiration — and what to lean on instead 03:01 – The compounding interest metaphor and why it matters for creativity 03:57 – The realization that creativity compounds just like money does 05:07 – Why the early returns are invisible, and why most people quit too soon 06:12 – What compounding creativity looks like at day 1, 30, 90, and 365 08:32 – The key truth: inspiration follows the habit 09:26 – The reminder that most people quit — and why continuing matters 10:50 – Stacking daily habits and applying financial wisdom to creative life Read This If You've Been Waiting to Feel Ready If you've been telling yourself you'll get back to your craft once the spark returns, once life calms down, once you have more clarity, once you feel more confident — let this be your reminder: You do not have to wait to feel ready. You do not need a perfect plan. You do not need ideal conditions. You do not need a surge of confidence. You need one small act of participation. One honest page. One photograph. One sketch. One idea written down. One imperfect attempt. Because that's how momentum begins. Not with certainty. With movement. And often, once you reenter the practice, the feeling you were waiting for starts to reappear — not as a prerequisite, but as a companion. Questions to Ask Yourself If you want to turn this episode into action, spend a few minutes with these: When was the last time I made something purely for the joy of making it? Have I been waiting for inspiration instead of committing to a habit? What tiny daily action would count as a meaningful creative deposit right now? Where am I quitting too early because the results still feel invisible? What would change if I trusted repetition more than emotion? What kind of creator could I become in 30, 90, or 365 days if I simply kept going? A Simple Practice for Rebuilding Momentum If this episode speaks to where you are right now, here's a simple way to put it into practice: Choose one small creative act you can repeat daily for the next seven days Keep the bar low enough to actually do it Do it whether you feel inspired or not Track your consistency, not your brilliance At the end of the week, notice what changed — in your skill, your mood, your confidence, or your willingness to begin The goal here is not to impress yourself. It's not to prove anything. It's not to manufacture a breakthrough. The goal is to remember that creative momentum is built, not found. And once that momentum starts to compound, you'll realize something powerful: You were never actually waiting for inspiration. You were waiting to trust the process enough to begin. Until next time, make something for play, keep stacking the habit, and remember: don't wait for inspiration.

Today I'm joined by Mark Siedler and Lynetta Avery. They work with people who keep finding themselves in the same relationship situations having the same arguments, feeling pulled toward the same kinds of partners, and wondering why nothing they try seems to change it. Their work focuses on what's actually happening in the moment when things go sideways in relationships, and how to interrupt those patterns without blame, fixing, or therapy language. They speak from lived experience and offer practical ways to slow things down, see the pattern clearly, and respond differently when it matters most. This conversation we talked about ways we can begin to identify what patterns we tend to repeat in relationships, and how they almost always stem from childhood experiences. What you didn't receive as a child doesn't just disappear. It becomes what you long for, what you tolerate, and sometimes… what you unknowingly repeat.

Hey friends, Chase here. I want to talk about something that might be uncomfortable — but if you're willing to really look at it, it can change everything. What if you're working incredibly hard… at the wrong thing? This is one of the scariest patterns I've seen — not just in the creators I coach, but in my own life. People are climbing. Grinding. Achieving. But they're climbing a mountain that isn't theirs. What's Really Going On Most people don't realize they're succeeding at the wrong thing. From the outside, it looks like progress: Momentum Validation Money Status But internally? There's a low-grade unease. Something you can't quite name. You tell yourself: "I just need one more win." "One more level." One more external yes." But what if that feeling isn't about not being there yet? What if it's because you're on the wrong mountain entirely? Why This Happens We humans are mimetic creatures. We learn what to want by watching what other people want. In a world optimized for visibility, comparison, and performative success… that instinct goes into overdrive. We chase what's celebrated. We optimize for what's rewarded. We pursue what looks like a "good life" from the outside. And somewhere along the way, we stop asking the most important question: Why am I doing this? Not the polite answer. Not the resume answer. Not the Instagram caption. The honest one. The Core Idea When you're unclear on your why, you default to someone else's. And when that happens, success becomes incredibly easy to misplace. You can chase: 100,000 followers A bigger team More money A certain lifestyle But if you don't know why… You can end up winning a game you never meant to play. What You'll Hear in This Episode Why we unknowingly adopt other people's goals How mimicry shapes our definition of success The danger of chasing external validation without internal clarity Why "one more win" can actually be a trap How to start defining your own version of success Timecodes (So You Can Jump to What You Need) 02:00 – The idea of climbing the wrong mountain 03:02 – The feeling of low-grade unease 03:27 – Mimetic behavior: why we want what others want 04:16 – The most important question: why? 05:21 – Why people succeed at the wrong thing 05:47 – The reframe: you might be pursuing the wrong end 06:13 – That restless feeling is actually alignment 07:06 – Clarity over chaos: small shifts, not big resets 07:33 – Interrupting mimicry 08:06 – Trading achievement for energy 08:29 – Choosing one honest action 09:16 – Stop outsourcing your ambition 09:38 – The danger of succeeding at the wrong thing 09:59 – Finding your mountain If You Feel That Unease, Read This That restless feeling you can't shake? It's not dissatisfaction. It's alignment trying to get your attention. And the fix isn't blowing up your life. It's pausing. Pausing long enough to get honest about what you actually want. Not what looks good. Not what's rewarded. Not what other people expect. What's true for you. Three Ways to Reorient Yourself 1. Interrupt the Mimicry If nobody could see what I'm doing, would I still want this? 2. Trade Achievement for Energy Which of your recent wins actually energized you — not just relieved pressure? 3. Choose One Honest Action Do one small thing aligned with what you actually care about — even if no one sees it. The Truth Most People Learn Too Late The fastest way to feel trapped isn't failure. It's succeeding at something that was never yours. I've lived this. I've climbed the wrong mountains. And when I found the right one? Everything changed. Your Assignment This week, get clear. What would you pursue if no one was watching? What actually energizes you? What's your mountain? You don't need a perfect plan. You just need enough clarity to take one honest step. Until next time: Stop chasing someone else's definition of success. Get clear on your mountain. And start climbing the one that's actually yours.
