Welcome to my journey of willpower and self-improvement! For 151 days, I took a cold shower every morning for the sole purpose of challenging myself and pushing through discomfort. This wasn’t some fad diet or trendy exercise plan. This was about finding inner strength, developing my discipline, and embracing unbridled determination in order to create positive change both within myself and in the world around me. In this episode, I provide tips on how you can start and sustain a similar routine based on my personal experience.

Ever wondered what it takes to think like an Olympic gold medalist? Heather Moyse knows – a 4-time Olympian and 2-time Olympic Gold Medalist in bobsleigh. She’s also the second Canadian ever, and the first Canadian woman, to be inducted into the World Rugby Hall of Fame. Described as Canada’s best-ever all-around female athlete. Heather combines her athletic achievements with a master’s degree in occupational therapy, making her a best-selling author, personal development coach, and highly respected motivational speaker. In this episode, we discuss why starting high-performance sports at a later age turned out to be an advantage, the power of doubting our doubts and implementing the “how factor”, the mindset and philosophy that kept Heather in the high-performance zone, how our choices reveal our reality, and why mental strength matters.

How To Be Unf*ckwithable

20% of the adult population struggles with indecision. If you think indecisiveness is just a part of who you are, think again. It's not in your genes or your astrological sign; indecision is a learned behavior. Most people believe that simply reading about mental models will help them make better decisions. The harsh truth is that 99% of these mental models are a waste of time because they aren’t actionable. Reading about them can turn into procrastination disguised as productivity. In this episode, I share 8 mental models you can start using today to actually make decisions.

8 Mental Models To Actually Make Decisions

Did you grow up believing everything you were taught about cannabis? I certainly did, especially in my small hometown, where misinformation about cannabis was rampant. Our understanding of cannabis was shaped by programs like D.A.R.E., which painted a very distorted picture. For years, many of us have been fed misinformation about cannabis, leading to widespread myths and misconceptions that persist even today. These falsehoods have deep roots, dating back to early 20th-century anti-cannabis campaigns and the infamous "War on Drugs." In this episode, I discuss why everything you’ve been told about cannabis is a lie and I dismantle seven major misnomers about cannabis, revealing the truth behind the lies and explaining why these myths are not supported by science or data.

Why Everything You’ve Been Told About Cannabis Is A Lie

Is financial freedom just a pipe dream? Living paycheck to paycheck, drowning in debt, and feeling like you'll never get ahead financially? You're not alone. Shockingly, most Americans wouldn’t be able to cover a $500 surprise expense, and the average American debt per U.S. adult is $66,772. Plus, 77% of American households have at least some type of debt. Most people have just accepted this as the status quo. But the good news is, there's a way out. In this episode, I discuss two simple steps to guide you to financial freedom.
