Are you trying so hard to sleep better that you're actually making your sleep worse?
We're spending more money than ever on sleep trackers, apps, gadgets, supplements, and nighttime routines, yet so many people are still exhausted. The more pressure you put on getting perfect sleep, the more alert your brain can become, which is why something as simple as "counting sheep" can actually backfire.
Sleep is also affecting way more than your energy. One bad night can throw off your cravings, weaken your willpower, make discipline harder, and push you toward the exact choices you were trying to avoid. And if you're relying on motivation to make good decisions after a terrible night of sleep, good luck. Your brain is already running on fumes.
In this episode of Habits and Hustle, I share why obsessing over sleep may be part of the problem, how sleep quality impacts cravings and discipline, and why exercise, food, and your daytime habits may matter more than another sleep gadget.
What's Discussed:
(00:53) Why sleep has become the top health trend and why people are still sleeping worse.
(01:18) How obsessing over sleep can actually make it harder to fall asleep.
(02:22) Why counting sheep may be one of the worst things to do when you can't sleep.
(03:09) How processed foods can affect sleep quality, even if you sleep the same number of hours.
(04:07) Why sleep trackers, apps, and gadgets may create more stress than better sleep.
(05:50) What to do when you wake up in the middle of the night and can't fall back asleep.
(06:34) How one bad night of sleep can lead to more cravings and poor food choices.
(08:13) Why willpower and discipline get weaker when your brain is exhausted.
(09:41) Why women may need more sleep than men and why that conversation matters.
(13:49) How exercise can dramatically improve sleep quality.Thank You to Our Sponsors!

Are you actually creating opportunity, or are you waiting for someone to hand it to you?
A lot of people talk about being entrepreneurs, but very few are willing to do the unsexy part: get on the plane, sit in the waiting room, build the relationship, ask the better question, and stay in the deal long enough to find the angle everyone else missed. Richard Baker built his career by doing exactly that. He did not rely on perfect timing, endless capital, or permission from people at the top. He used structure, relationships, leverage, and speed to turn overlooked opportunities into billion-dollar deals.
This matters because the future of work is changing fast. AI is reshaping business, companies are cutting jobs, and more people are going to have to learn how to create value on their own. Richard's philosophy is simple: stop chasing safety, start thinking like an owner, and learn how to manufacture your own luck. The people who win are the ones who know where the ball is going before everyone else starts running after it.
Richard Baker is a real estate entrepreneur, dealmaker, founder of Baker House 1921, and longtime educator through Cornell's Baker Program in Real Estate. He has built one of the largest privately owned shopping center portfolios in the country, developed 50 Walmart-anchored shopping centers, bought iconic retail brands including Lord & Taylor, Saks Fifth Avenue, Hudson's Bay, and Neiman Marcus, and structured some of the most fascinating retail and real estate deals of the last two decades. In this episode, he breaks down negotiation, risk, AI, entrepreneurship, decision-making, and why the biggest opportunities often come from seeing what everyone else is too busy to notice.
What's Discussed:
(01:27) How Richard Baker built one of the largest privately owned shopping center portfolios in the country.
(07:37) The family philosophy that taught him how to make money with no money.
(11:13) What intellectual leverage means and why he uses brains, relationships, and structure instead of cash.
(12:15) Why real opportunity comes from getting off your ass and showing up in person.
(19:23) How the power of yes helped him buy Lord & Taylor for $1.2 billion.
(23:34) Why big companies miss details and how that creates openings for entrepreneurs.
(29:21) Why speed, risk tolerance, and fast decision-making matter in business.
(39:17) How he turned the Zellers deal into a bidding war between Walmart and Target.
(52:40) The difference between a zoo bear and a jungle bear in entrepreneurship.
(01:02:39) Why luck is something you manufacture through preparation, strategy, and timing.
(01:07:21) How Richard uses AI every morning to think, plan, and increase productivity.
(01:31:38) Why courage, pulling the trigger, and structuring risk are essential for entrepreneurs.

Are you taking advice from people who only sound like they know what they're talking about?
Social media has made everyone look like an expert, but a confident voice, a polished clip, or a big following does not automatically mean someone is qualified to guide your life, business, health, or decisions. The problem is that bad advice often sounds convincing, especially when it comes from someone who knows how to perform authority online.
Real discernment means asking better questions before you listen. Has this person actually done what they are talking about? Did they do it recently enough for the advice to still apply? Are they giving you perspective from experience, or are they selling you a version of success that looks good on camera?
In this episode of Habits and Hustle, I break down why advice has an expiration date, why followers do not equal credibility, and how to be more careful about who you let influence your decisions.
What's Discussed:
(00:34) Why everyone on social media suddenly sounds like an expert.
(01:09) How the rise of online advice has made discernment more important than ever.
(02:40) Why you should only take advice from people who have actually done what they are talking about.
(03:54) Why advice has an expiration date and can become outdated.
(04:10) How business, career, and life advice changes when the world changes.
(06:33) Why calling yourself an "expert" can become part of the problem.
(08:16) Why even good advice may not be right for your life or your path.
(09:57) How social media makes people sound authoritative, even when they are not.
(12:43) Why followers and visibility do not automatically equal credibility.
(15:16) Why health and mental health advice on social media can become dangerous.

Everyone is trying to optimize their health with trackers, supplements, morning routines, and biohacking tools, but sometimes the basics are still the biggest needle-movers. In this episode, we unpack why sleep, stress, relationships, food quality, and even walking may matter more than the latest wellness trend.
We dive deeper into this in the Habits & Hustle Podcast with Shawn Stevenson. We also chat about melatonin, sleep quality, wearables, fat loss, protein, weighted vests, GLP-1s, and why your relationships may be the most underrated longevity hack.
Shawn Stevenson is the host of The Model Health Show, one of the top-rated health podcasts. He is the author of Sleep Smarter, which became an international bestseller and has been translated into more than 20 languages. He is also the author of Eat Smarter and the Eat Smarter Family Cookbook.
What's Discussed:
(02:11) How Shawn Stevenson wrote one of the first bestselling books on sleep before it became a wellness trend.
(03:08) Why sleep was the missing factor for clients who were doing everything "right" but not seeing results.
(04:20) How morning exercise can help reset your cortisol rhythm and improve sleep quality.
(09:29) What people misunderstand about melatonin and why taking more is not always better.
(22:16) Why waking up in the middle of the night is not always a problem.
(27:28) Are wearables actually improving your health or making you more neurotic?
(37:04) Why your relationships may be the number one factor in longevity.
(48:19) How sleep deprivation can make you lose muscle instead of body fat.
(55:16) Why calories matter, but food quality changes what your body does with them.
(1:18:14) The weighted vest study that explains why gravitational loading may help prevent weight regain.

Are you counting yourself out before you even give yourself a real shot?
A lot of people have big goals, real ambition, and a clear idea of what they want, but they never actually try because deep down, they don't believe they could be the person who pulls it off. They look at other people who have succeeded and assume those people had something they do not, when the real difference is often much simpler: they tried, they kept going, and they believed it was possible before anyone else did.
When you start asking "Why not me?" instead of assuming success is reserved for someone else, everything changes. You stop putting other people on pedestals, you stop disqualifying yourself before the game even starts, and you start building the kind of confidence that only comes from taking action.
In this episode of Habits and Hustle, I share why the "Why not me?" mindset has made me feel unstoppable and how changing the way you see yourself can change the way you show up in every area of your life.
What's Discussed:
(00:34) Why we underestimate ourselves and overestimate the people we put on pedestals.
(01:16) How the "Why not me?" mindset can change the way you approach success.
(01:50) The real difference between the people who succeed and the people who count themselves out.
(02:02) Why self-belief still requires hard work, grit, and repeated attempts.
(02:46) Why advocating for yourself can feel uncomfortable or egotistical.
(04:29) Why people need to stop counting themselves out before they even try.
(05:51) Why some people are not lazy, they simply do not believe they are capable.
(06:10) The myth that you have to be "special" to achieve big things.
(06:50) How believing you are capable can become the thing that makes you capable.
(07:10) Why repeating the "Why not me?" mindset can rewire the way you see yourself.

Most people know exactly what they should be doing to feel better, follow through, and build the life they want, but actually doing it is where everything falls apart. In this episode, we get into why mindfulness has been misunderstood, why your nervous system can block follow-through, and why awareness is the first step to breaking the emotional loops that keep you stuck.
We dive deeper into this in the Habits & Hustle Podcast with Dr. Elisha Goldstein. We also chat about why mindfulness does not mean calm, how to interrupt overwhelm in real time, and why emotional vocabulary can completely change the way you understand your needs.
Dr. Elisha Goldstein is a clinical psychologist, author of six books, and co-founder of The Center for Mindful Living in Los Angeles. He holds a Ph.D. in clinical psychology and has developed programs focused on mindfulness, emotional health, and behavior change. His latest book is Tiny Shifts: How Emotional Health Transforms Stress, Relationships, and Longevity.
What's Discussed:
(02:14) Why mindfulness does not actually mean being calm.
(06:04) The three questions your brain asks before you follow through on a habit.
(07:39) Why people already know what to do but still struggle to execute.
(15:22) What emotional health actually means beyond basic stress management.
(16:44) The "emotional loop" behind overwhelm, anxiety, and resistance.
(26:19) The tiny shift that helped him move from feeling lost to finding purpose.
(29:18) Why motivational quotes do not work when your nervous system is dysregulated.
(32:32) How fitness becomes a training ground for discipline in every area of life.
(52:17) The real reason discipline is so hard to build when you do not feel motivated.
(1:15:34) Why emotional vocabulary matters more than saying "I'm fine."

I have a bone to pick with the word entrepreneur because somewhere along the way, it became less about building something real and more about having a sexy title in your Instagram bio. Everyone wants the label, but not everyone has put in the time, taken the hits, failed, adjusted, and kept going long enough to actually earn it.
In this episode of Habits & Hustle, Shani and I get into the difference between being entrepreneurial and actually being an entrepreneur. We also talk about fake business gurus, online courses, social media self-promotion, and why you need to be way more discerning about who you trust, follow, and pay.
Because here's the truth: selling a course on success does not automatically make you successful. If you want to build something real, you need persistence, proof, and the ability to get back up when the first version does not work.
No sexy bio line.
No fake guru playbook.
Just the actual work.
Let's dive in.
What's Discussed:
(00:59) Why the word "entrepreneur" has become the new sexy Instagram bio label.
(02:15) What actually qualifies someone as an entrepreneur versus someone who just wants the title.
(03:08) The problem with people selling courses on entrepreneurship when they haven't built anything themselves.
(04:04) The real difference between being entrepreneurial and being an entrepreneur.
(05:27) Why selling a course can make someone a good internet marketer, but not necessarily a qualified business expert.
(06:15) How social media creates the illusion that someone is more successful or experienced than they actually are.
(07:35) The fine line between being an entrepreneur and being a snake oil salesman.
(10:24) Why discernment matters when deciding who to trust, follow, listen to, or buy from online.
(12:04) The "do your own research" mindset and why people get burned when they blindly trust influencers.
(12:54) How Shark Tank and social media made everyone believe they could build the next big business.

Modern relationship advice is everywhere, and most of it is making your relationships harder, not better. These are the buzzwords that we see spread all over the internet like the misused attachment labels, the "be more vulnerable" coaching, the body count debate, and the love bombing warnings. Sadia has spent years working with couples one-on-one, and almost none of it holds up in real practice. Sadia Khan is a psychotherapist and the author of The Red Flags:The Truth About Love, Trauma, and the Lies Your Therapist Didn't Warn You About, a book built around the 10 questions every therapist should be asking their clients and every partner should be asking each other. She has worked with hundreds of men and women to fix what conventional therapy keeps missing, and her approach has built her one of the largest relationship audiences online.
In this episode of Habits and Hustle, Sadia breaks down why your therapist's advice may be quietly hurting your relationship, the real reason high body count damages men more than women, why people pleasers suffer more in relationships than narcissists do, and the four green flags that actually predict whether a couple makes it.
This is one of those conversations that will make you rethink every "diagnosis" you have ever given an ex or a friend who's "avoidant".
What's Discussed:
(5:36) Why love languages and attachment theory keep failing real couples.
(6:51) The therapy advice that is quietly making men less attractive to their partners.
(8:38) Why people pleasers suffer more in relationships than narcissists do.
(12:43) How honesty, not niceness, is what builds real intimacy.
(21:14) The narcissist label and what insisting on it actually says about you.
(31:16) The four green flags every healthy relationship is built on.
(1:21:14) Why high body count damages men more than women.
(1:45:50) The pattern most men fall into when they cannot be alone.

The most powerful longevity tool you have is not in a bottle or a needle. It's in the quality of your relationships. There's a body of data that's been saying this for decades. Yet, the wellness industry kept focusing on the other direction of wellness.
Shawn knows this not only because he read it in a study but because he lived the opposite of what healthy relationships look like first and paid for it with his health.
Shawn Stevenson is the host of The Model Health Show, the no.1 nutrition and fitness podcast in the United States, and the bestselling author of Sleep Smarter and Eat Smarter. He grew up in poverty in St. Louis, was told at 20 he had the spine of an 80-year-old, and rebuilt his health from scratch with no money, no access, and no roadmap for any of it.
In this episode of Habits and Hustle, Shawn makes the case that we have been optimizing the wrong thing all along. Your culture, your community, and the quality of your relationships are what the largest longevity studies keep pointing to, and almost nobody in wellness is talking about it. He also gets into why GLP-1s and peptides are a shortcut to the wrong destination, what circadian medicine is about to change, and why the healthiest thing you can do today has nothing to do with your supplement stack. If you have ever felt like your circumstances were too far gone for health to even be possible, this episode was made for you.
What's Discussed:
04:12 The hidden impact of sleep on metabolism and energy
09:35 Common habits that undermine long-term health
15:48 Practical strategies to improve recovery and resilience
20:55 Final thoughts on building sustainable daily habits

Your subconscious mind is running 95% of your decisions. Your conscious mind, the part that's setting goals, making resolutions, and telling itself to do better, is only working with the remaining 5%. That gap is why knowing what you should do is never enough.
Thais Gibson has spent over a decade building a framework that actually closes that gap. She is a counselor, founder of the Gibson Integrated Attachment Theory™, and has worked with over 60,000 people through The Personal Development School. In this episode of Habits and Hustle, she breaks down why self-sabotage is not what we all think it is, how your attachment style is quietly running your relationships, and the exact process to rewire patterns you have been carrying since childhood.
This is one of those conversations that will make you look at your own behavior completely differently.
What's Discussed:
(00:05) The real reason your conscious goals keep losing to your subconscious programming.
(15:30) What your attachment style is actually telling you about your childhood.
(29:00) The attachment combination most likely to end in a vicious cycle.
(45:00) Why dating a secure person does not fix an insecure attachment.
(58:00) That one belief that's quietly destroying your ability to connect.
(1:05:00) What limerence is and why people mistake it for love.
(1:15:00) The five pillars to rewire your attachment style at a subconscious level.
(1:20:00) Why affirmations do not work and what to do instead.

The habits that actually optimize your health are not the hard ones. They are the small, low-effort ones you can do without rearranging your whole life.
We get sold protocols and programs and things that can feel too complicated or demand time you do not have, so the simple hacks get passed over because it feels too obvious to matter.
But the simplest and obvious healthy habits are obvious because they work. When you stack a few of them together, they compound into something that changes your life in the long run.
In this episode of Habits and Hustle, I walk through the easy, low-effort habits I do every day that have optimized my life tenfold, even on the busiest days, from how I start my morning to how I trick myself into staying hydrated.
Let's dive in!
What's Discussed:
(1:56) Why start every morning with 32 ounces of lemon water and how that can set up your whole day.
(3:33) Why three short walks beat one long walk for your body.
(5:19) Why working out first thing makes me sharper and more productive all day.
(5:48) The impact of hot and cold therapy and how to do it without a sauna or cold plunge.
(7:06) Why weight training is non-negotiable, especially after 40.
(8:04) Why having healthy food on hand saves you from your own worst decisions.
(8:42) The healthy habit nobody calls a habit: laughing every day.
(9:51) The elastic band trick that forces you to actually drink enough water.

When you want to understand someone's success, you look at what they built. The company, the exit, the valuation. But James Beshara says you are looking at the wrong thing. You are studying the fruit when the real story is in the roots.
James has built three separate companies to nine-figure valuations before 40, ranks as the top #2 angel investor on AngelList, and has made over 100 startup bets. He is also the founder of Magic Mind and after 14 years of investing and 18 years of building companies, he has learned that the founders who get funded are not the ones with the best pitch deck.
In this episode of Habits and Hustle, James shares why he backs the founder and not the business, what he looks for in the first 7 minutes of meeting someone, and why a product that is merely liked will always lose to one that is loved. He also breaks down the science behind Magic Mind, why your coffee habit may be working against you, and the morning philosophy practice that shapes how he makes every decision. If you have ever wondered what investors are really evaluating when they decide to bet on you, this conversation gives you the answer, and it starts with looking at the roots.
What's Discussed:
(02:53) The roots versus fruits reframe and why copying success usually backfires.
(10:14) The 7-minute window that tells James whether he wants to work with a founder.
(16:41) Why investors back the founder, not the business, and the 40% likability edge.
(25:33) Magic Mind: Why caffeine shuts off your fatigue signal instead of giving you energy.
(45:30) The Bezos rule: innovators must be willing to be misunderstood.
(1:07:51) What selling a company for less than he raised actually taught him.
(1:17:59) Why a product that people buy when it is "ugly" is the only kind worth scaling.
(1:28:55) Why running toward failure is how you avoid the failure that ends you.

There's a cognitive bias that runs more of your decisions than you do. Marketers figured it out a long time ago. The reason it keeps working on you is that nobody's taught you how to use it back.
People have been saying it's a willpower problem for years now. And while willpower is part of it, the real reason you keep falling into the same patterns has less to do with discipline and more to do with how your brain is wired.
In this episode of Habits and Hustle, I unpack what loss aversion actually is, why marketers have been using it on you for decades, and how to flip it so it works for you instead.
Let's dive in!
What's Discussed:
(1:53) Why your brain feels losing is twice as hard as winning and what that actually means for your daily decisions.
(3:13) The exact tweak marketers use to make you act fast without realizing it.
(3:45) Why "you'll feel great if you go to the gym" never works, and what does.
(4:55) The reason subscription models keep growing and why you're paying for things you don't even use.
(6:01) Why FOMO is just loss aversion with a different name.
(8:11) The hidden driver behind why you say yes to plans you didn't want to make.
(9:17) The "girl math" confession that explains why a 10% Rakuten reward turns into hundreds in unnecessary spending.
(12:03) The flip that turns loss aversion from your weakness into your most reliable motivator.

The most interesting people to sit down with aren't always the ones the world agrees about. Some of the most compelling conversations happen with people who hold their ground and refuse to be neatly categorized by the world.
Kevin Trudeau is infamous for a lot of things but what's notable about him is he sold 50 million books, served 8.5 years in federal prison for contempt of court, and walked out at 60 with $10,000 in donations. Kevin has been called a snake oil salesman by some of the biggest names in the media. He's also the man who wrote about ultra-processed food, gut health, and the hypothalamus regulating weight 25 years before any of it became mainstream science.
In this episode, Kevin shares the story behind the controversies that defined him, what 8.5 years in federal prison actually taught him about resistance and acceptance, his philosophies in sales and business and how he came back at 60 to build it all again after being banned from infomercials for life.
If you've ever been curious about a public figure beyond what the headlines tell you, this conversation is the kind that will take you down the rabbit hole.
What's Discussed:
(08:42) The two infomercial offers that came in the same day from two strangers.
(14:00) The rule every other infomercial host followed that Kevin refused to use.
(22:00) The diagnosis at 19 that turned him into a researcher with no medical training.
(33:01) The warden who said he'd never seen an inmate happy to be there in 35 years.
(56:26) The "Natural Cures" claims that aged into mainstream science, and the ones that didn't.
(1:08:36) Why he says the GLP-1 weight loss drugs are built on the same science he wrote about 20 years ago.
(1:46:00) How he started over at 60 with $10,000 in fan donations after being banned from infomercials for life.
(2:11:46) The two words he says have more power to shape your life than any others.

Are you doing all the right things to strengthen your mindset but still feel like something is missing?
The wellness space has been selling mindset as the answer to everything for years now. And while it matters, leading with mindset is actually where most people get the order wrong. Because before your mind can perform at its best, your body has to be conditioned for it.
When you flip that order and put your physical health first, everything else starts to move differently. Your mental toughness builds naturally. Your stress response changes. The way you show up in your relationships, your conversations, and your business all shift without you having to force it.
In this episode of Habits and Hustle, I share why I put physicality at the very top of my pyramid and what actually starts to change when you do the same.
Let's dive in!
What's Discussed:
(3:10) The biggest paradigm shift nobody in the mindset space is talking about.
(3:49) Why physical strength is the actual foundation of mental resilience.
(5:20) How treating your body as your most important tool changes everything else.
(6:04) The way feeling physically strong changes how you show up in every relationship and conversation.
(9:16) Why strength training specifically upgrades your brain chemistry and memory.
(10:25) How Jen uses workouts to work through her biggest life and business decisions.
(12:39) Why saving that hard conversation for after your workout changes how you handle it.
(13:56) The first step to taking real ownership of your health and your life.

The biggest threat to a founder's success isn't failure. It's spending years trying to become someone they were never built to be.
Jamie Siminoff never followed the CEO playbook. He followed the problem. He built Ring in his garage with a soldering iron, got publicly rejected on Shark Tank, never ran a single team meeting, and still built one of the most recognizable home security brands in the world.
In this episode, Jamie shares why the traditional founder playbook is a trap, what actually drives a company to scale, and what AI is about to do to the entrepreneurs who never questioned how they build.
If you have ever felt more pulled toward solving a problem than managing a team, this conversation will completely reframe how you think about building.
What's Discussed:
(02:01) Why "serial entrepreneur" is just a polite word for something else entirely.
(05:13) The garage moment that started everything and why he almost missed it.
(09:47) What pre-selling millions still couldn't save him from.
(13:22) The Shark Tank rejection that became his biggest break.
(21:15) How a lunch conversation changed the entire trajectory of Ring.
(35:40) The Amazon courting story and why it took three years.
(44:35) Why he never had a single team meeting and what he did instead.
(51:20) The reason he walked away from a billion dollar company at its peak.
(57:18) The wildfire that made him come back.
(1:02:10) What AI just unlocked for Ring that wasn't possible before.
(1:08:45) Why grit is about to become your most valuable asset.
(1:19:46) The one thing he'd tell every founder who's still searching.

The same part of your brain behind every bad habit you have ever had is the exact same part that builds your best ones. Which means the traits you have been trying to fix your whole life might be the very thing that builds your biggest success.
That connection is exactly what Liz Tenuto, better known as The Workout Witch, lived. She went from posting somatic exercises from her bed during a divorce to building an eight figure business that has helped millions of people heal, and the only thing that changed was what she pointed her energy at.
In this third Fitness Fridays episode with Liz, she breaks down the brain science behind habit formation, why HIIT might be working against you, and what her origin story reveals about turning your worst traits into your greatest asset.
If you have ever felt like the hardest working version of you is still not getting results, this is the episode that explains exactly why.
What's Discussed:
(0:00) The business model nobody in her industry saw coming.
(1:43) Why she started posting from bed and never expected what happened next.
(3:59) Half a million a month and not a single brand deal. Here is why.
(6:18) The one thing that separates her from every other somatic healer.
(9:50) Why the workout you think is helping you lose weight is doing the opposite.
(10:50) What stress actually does to your weight that has nothing to do with food.
(13:08) The sequence that makes high intensity exercise actually work.
(14:03) Why the easier Pilates class might be giving you the harder workout.
(17:01) The muscle nobody talks about that controls more than you think.
(18:25) The part of your brain behind every bad habit you have ever had.
(19:31) How she turned her worst trait into the thing that built everything.
(21:44) Where to find Liz and try her exercises for free.

The same intensity that can destroy your life is the same intensity that can rebuild it. The difference isn't the person, it's the direction.
Ken Rideout is the world's fastest marathoner over 50, a former prison guard, a former addict, and someone who has never once in his life waited to feel ready before making a move. He spent 10 years taking 50 Percocets a day while making millions on Wall Street and hiding it from everyone around him, including his wife.
Today he runs 10 miles every single day, has won age groups at every world marathon major, and won a 155-mile desert ultra he signed up for with four weeks' notice and zero experience.
In this episode, Ken gets into the real story behind what it took to trade his darkest habits for the discipline that made him a world champion. He also shares the one race he quit that rewired how he approaches everything, what he tells his kids about fear, and why having no process is the reason he keeps winning.
If you have ever felt like your past, your struggles, or your lack of a plan disqualifies you from doing something extraordinary, this conversation will change how you see yourself.
What's Discussed:
(00:00) Who Ken Rideout is and why his story doesn't make sense on paper.
(04:37) Working as a prison guard at 18 while his brother was an inmate.
(07:03) The slap that got him fired and the better job that followed two days later.
(15:24) How a routine prescription started a decade-long secret.
(19:40) The night his wife found him on the floor.
(27:25) Moving his family to LA with no safety net and a newborn.
(28:01) Why running became the replacement, not the cure.
(33:44) What "delusionally optimistic" actually looks like in practice.
(36:05) The most underrated skill in business nobody talks about.
(40:30) What Ken told his scared son at the baseball game.
(41:01) Signing up for a 155-mile desert race with zero experience.
(54:18) The marathon times that made the Wall Street Journal and New York Times take notice.
(1:05:35) The one coaching change that shaved five minutes off his marathon.
(1:10:22) The line about walking on water that stopped me in my tracks.
(1:22:10) The race he quitted that he still carries with him to this day.
(1:31:06) His daily routine and the supplements he swears by.
(1:44:52) The status symbol that's available to anyone and costs nothing.

The field of somatics has one uncomfortable truth most people aren't ready to hear: you cannot think your way out of trauma or chronic stress. If the stress response of the body never gets discharged through physical movement, your body stays on high alert. Some people still write somatics off as "woo-woo". That gap between what the science actually says and what people assume is exactly why I wanted to go deeper with Liz Tenuto, better known as The Workout Witch.
Liz holds a degree in Psychology from UC Santa Barbara, is certified in Pilates and Reiki, and spent six years being mentored in the Feldenkrais Method under Augusta Moore. She got herself off beta blockers for anxiety using the same somatic exercises she now teaches.
In part two of this three-part Fitness Friday series with Liz, she breaks down the actual science, Polyvagal Theory, the psoas muscle, why betrayal trauma has a biological address in your body, and why your nervous system is still running an operating system designed for surviving predators, not inbox anxiety.
If you have ever felt stuck in stress no matter what you try, this is the episode that explains exactly why.
What's Discussed:
(0:00) How Liz grew to 4.8 million followers and who her audience really is.
(1:01) Why somatics bridges the gap where doctors just tell you it's stress.
(1:48) How Liz got off beta blockers for anxiety using somatic exercises.
(3:12) What somatics can actually help with and how it works for sleep.
(9:11) The science behind somatics and how your body stores stress physically
(13:33) How trauma gets stored as subconscious muscle tension and shows up as pain.
(16:52) Liz's personal story: how quitting dance made her chronic pain worse, not better.
(27:05) Sleep positions that reveal your stress state: T-REX ARMS, mountain climber, extreme fetal.
(33:21) The psoas muscle: the muscle of the soul and its role as a first responder in fight or flight.
(35:13) The gentle 18-day protocol Liz uses before ever touching the psoas.

Have you noticed how the more we're connected by the internet and have all these gadgets, the lonelier we get? The things we thought would bring us together are actually making us more isolated than ever.
That is the conversation I had with Dr. Laurie Santos. She is a Yale professor, an expert on happiness, and the woman behind Psychology and the Good Life, the most popular class Yale has ever offered. She also hosts her own hit podcast, The Happiness Lab, focused on the science of feeling good.
In this episode, Dr. Laurie breaks down why English-speaking countries are quietly getting unhappier, why manifesting the reward actually makes you less likely to chase it, and why the expert on gratitude herself doesn't love gratitude journaling. She explains the neuroscience of wanting versus liking, why self-care has quietly become self-indulgence, and the mindset shifts that matter more than any routine, supplement, or practice on the internet.
She also gets into why doomscrolling is stealing more from you than your time, the two parts of happiness you actually need both of, and the simple habits the research supports when every trendy protocol around you does not.
If you have been doing everything you are supposed to do and still feel off, this episode might confirm something you've known about yourself and your happiness for a long time.
What's Discussed:
(01:30) How Dr. Laurie ended up at Yale teaching the most popular class in the school's history.
(04:15) Why happiness is a skill you practice, not a personality trait you are born with.
(07:40) The two kinds of happiness most people confuse and why you need both.
(11:05) Why money past a certain number stops making you any happier.
(14:30) The science behind why paraplegics and lottery winners end up at the same happiness baseline.
(18:20) Why comparison is the single biggest thief of happiness in modern life.
(22:10) Why the silver medalist looks more miserable than the bronze medalist.
(26:45) Why non-English speakers are happier according to studies.
(31:20) The dopamine trap of social media and why you crave what you don't even like.
(35:50) Why your phone is the Nutrasweet of real connection.
(40:15) Why boredom is the skill modern kids are losing and why it matters.
(44:30) The shock study that reveals how uncomfortable we have become with our own thoughts.
(49:10) Why the gratitude expert herself doesn't vibe with gratitude journaling.
(52:40) Dr. Laurie's alternative to gratitude that actually sticks.
(57:05) Why self-compassion beats self-criticism for every single goal you have.
(1:01:30) Why self-care is not a bubble bath and what it actually looks like.
(1:06:15) The research that shows manifestation is making you less likely to get what you want.
(1:10:40) The WOOP framework and why it is the version of manifesting that actually works.
(1:15:20) Why work-life balance is the wrong goal and what to aim for instead.
(1:19:45) What Dr. Laurie tells her students to do in just ten minutes a day to feel happier.
