Success and wellbeing are not mutually exclusive! To live the best version of your life, you need to start by changing your mindset so that you can break the habits that are no longer serving you. Our guest this week, Claudia Garbutt, has felt the most extreme negative consequences of putting health and wellbeing on the backburner. In this episode, she shares the story of how she transformed her life by actively formulating success habits.
Meet Claudia Garbutt:
Claudia Garbutt is a molecular biologist turned mindset and high-performance coach who teaches ambitious, mission-driven entrepreneurs the fundamental mechanisms at the intersection of physiology and psychology that drive human behaviour, achievement and wellbeing. She’s also the host of the Wired For Success podcast where she talks about all things science, self-development & entrepreneurship that help entrepreneurs build million-dollar businesses without sacrificing their health, relationships, or happiness.
Episode Highlights:
You can be hugely successful without sacrificing your health and happiness. To do this requires understanding what systems and habits are helping you and which ones are hurting you (and eliminating the latter from your life!). [01:48]
“Don’t believe everything you think.” Your mindset is the most important element to nurture when it comes to changing your habits (and improving your life as a result). [14:30]
Figure out what your golden habit is. For Claudia, it’s running. Engaging regularly in an activity that calms down your system and clears your head will allow you to do your best work. [19:21]
To introduce a new habit into your routine, engage in habit stacking. For example, Claudia uses her last sip of her morning coffee as a cue to getting ready to go for a run. [27:11]

We overthink productivity skills. You might think you need different skills to lead at work than you do to stay consistent at the gym. But really, being more productive is just practicing the same skills in many different contexts. You cannot compartmentalize yourself. The way you build your habits needs to align and fit with all the worlds you play in.
Successful people have unexpected skills, not because they’re doing anything ridiculously creative - but because they’re sticking to the basics.
What are these skills, and how can they be applied in your own life or business?
Meet Mauro Porcini:
Mauro is the first-ever Chief Design Officer at PepsiCo and was formerly the first ever Chief Design Officer at 3M. He believes in human centricity in business and talks about how personal and professional habits and traits should mirror one another. His book, The Human Side of Innovation, reveals 24 overlooked skills that innovators strive towards. He discusses his experiences at two of the world's largest corporations and how he introduced new methodologies to drive business growth and innovation.
What We Discussed:
(00:25) Who is Mauro Porcini?
(04:56) What makes great people, great?
(13:12) Least expected traits of successful people
(17:09) Kindness fuels productivity
(23:26) The habit overlap
(30:00) Chasing false happiness
(34:12) The Schwarzenegger ethic
(39:31) Making your philosophies contagious

“If you see your life as a game, then everything feels different.” Today, Yu-kai Chou (Author & Founder of The Octalysis Group & Metablox) joins us to talk about why fun is an important part of gaining motivation, creating long-lasting habits, and achieving greater happiness. He breaks down the 8 core drivers of motivation, which you can use to maintain momentum and stay engaged with your healthy habits (for the long run). Sorry, but hope and willpower have no place here. Tune in to learn how gamification can help you move the needle!
Meet Yu-kai Chou:
Yu-kai Chou is an Author and International Keynote Speaker on Gamification and Behavioral Design. He is the Author of Actionable Gamification and the Founder of The Octalysis Group as well as Metablox. His design work has empowered over 1 Billion users’ experiences and was rated #1 among the “Top 100 Gamification Gurus” in the world. Yu-kai was also Chief Experience Officer in Decentral, working with Ethereum Cofounder Anthony Di Iorio, as well as Head of Creative Labs/Digital Commerce for HTC, pioneering VIVE VR and the Metaverse.
Episode Highlights:
Yu-kai’s game objective is creating the most impact possible while having fun. If you’re not having fun, why are you doing it? (04:40)
You will become truly successful when you’re doing what you love on a regular basis. (10:03)
The 8 core drivers of motivation in Yu-kai’s Octalysis Framework: Epic Meaning & Calling, Development & Accomplishment, Empowerment of Creativity & Feedback, Ownership & Possession, Social Influence & Relatedness, Scarcity & Impatience, Unpredictability & Curiosity, and Loss & Avoidance (12:38)
As long as you feel like you’re progressing, you’ll stay motivated. Once you lose a sense of progression, your motivation can decrease. (17:21)
One of the most effective ways to maintain momentum (or a habit) is keeping a streak. Creating a streak is not about how well you do at your habit, it’s about how consistent you are. Streaks train your brain to check in every day, otherwise you lose the momentum. To avoid burnout/frustration from losing a streak, build a vacation/rest day into it! (31:52)
Happiness is growth, but it’s also balance. Happiness is not all about money and career, it requires a holistic approach where you work on your physical health, mindset, emotional health, relationships, and more. What current habits do you have in each of these that aren’t helping you? How can you replace them with different habits and gamify them to achieve greater happiness in life? (41:10)

“The prelude to a habit is clarity.” In this episode, Chris Pallatroni (Founder of The Standard) joins us to talk about the keys to building sustainable, transformative success habits. From spending time getting clear on what you really want to not overthinking your commitments to prioritizing self-care to becoming your biggest advocate, the wealth of knowledge that Chris shares (and the passion with which he shares it) will leave you feeling ready to get out into the world and create the life you deserve to be living!
Meet Chris Pallatroni:
Chris is a remarkable individual known for his simplicity and unwavering focus. He understands the importance of self-care, recognizing that by taking care of himself, he can better serve others. With a loving wife by his side and two wonderful boys, Chris cherishes his role as a dedicated family man. In addition to his family commitments, Chris is a driven entrepreneur. His sights are set on creating the next big thing, The Standard, where he aims to make positive transformation in mental health and wellness as easy as possible for people.
Episode Highlights:
Rather than focusing solely on your end goals, enjoy the journey of building and growing your business! You will be a more energized and focused entrepreneur if you prioritize your mental health by getting enough sleep, exercising often, eating well, and spend time with your loved ones. [07:00]
When building habits, don’t overthink them! There will be countless times when you don’t want to to something you should be doing, but once you’ve made a commitment, don’t entertain any thoughts about breaking it; just do it! [13:13]
Don’t let other people’s dreams influence your decisions. The key to building habits is to be clear about what YOU want. To do this, Chris recommends spending time by yourself and reflecting regularly on your actions to ensure you are doing the things that are leading you in the direction you want to be going. [21:01]
The way you talk to yourself matters! We have so many thoughts running through our minds everyday and most of them are slightly biased towards negativity and disproportionately focused on ourselves. One of the biggest gifts you can give yourself is to reframe those thoughts, understand that most of them aren’t true, and start talking to yourself with love and compassion. [33:43]
Don’t underestimate the importance of your external environment. The places where you spend your time and the people who you surround yourself with will be instrumental in helping you reach your full potential. [39:31]

Gamify your fear, simplify your life, and improve your health! We can’t do anything about our past, but we do have the power to design a better future for ourselves. Ed Latimore was raised by a single mother in a poverty-stricken, violence-filled neighborhood, but he didn’t let this dictate the course of his life. Ed is proof that through hard work, determination, good decision making (and a little bit of luck), we are all capable of achieving greatness.
Meet Ed Latimore:
Ed Latimore is a former professional heavyweight boxer, a competitive chess player, and a bestselling author. Ed’s writing focuses on self-development, realizing your potential, and sobriety - all of which he approaches from his personal experience of overcoming poverty and addiction.
Episode Highlights:
Holding onto resentment won’t improve your life. If you were raised in a broken home, don’t blame anyone for that because you can’t change it. Instead, focus on what you can change: your attitude, your environment, the people you spend your time with, and the way you treat others. [14:42]
Age is just a number! If you look after your body and your mind, you can extend your mental and physical “prime” by many, many years. [33:13]
The more organized you are, the more you can get done in less time. Stop wasting time because you don’t have the organizational systems in place! [39:28]
Before making decisions, consider the worst possible outcome and whether or not you are willing to suffer through it if it happens. [40:09]
Simplify your life as much as possible. Don’t be afraid to cut out the things (and the people) that are costing you your happiness. [40:09]

Because our lives are so comfortable and insulated, it’s not often that modern day humans are forced to deal with real adversity. But when we take ourselves out of our comfort zones, that’s where the self-betterment magic happens! Tune in today to hear how Aaron Baker turned what could have been the worst thing to ever happen to him into an adventure he is immensely grateful for.
Meet Aaron Baker:
Aaron is a husband, father, athlete, author, keynote speaker, and ambassador for spinal cord injury. He has spent over two decades rebuilding his body and redefining his life from complete paralysis. Through my adversity, he discovered a profound purpose and a deep passion for empowering others to live the highest version of themselves.
Episode Highlights:
Every challenge can be turned into something positive. When Aaron Baker broke his neck, he was given a very grim prognosis, but he showed the world how powerful human beings can be when we give something our best effort! [03:40]
Adversity pushes us to become the highest versions of ourselves. Our modern lives are too comfortable; we need to seek out challenges in order to really reach our full potential. [06:25]
To determine what really matters to you, think about what you want people to say about you at your funeral. Then do the work to ensure that people do one day say those things about you. [12:28]
Make your health a priority! Aaron has made his body his business, but even if you don’t want to do that, your body still deserves to be looked after to the best of your abilities. [20:00]
Practice gratitude everyday. There is always going to be something more to want but one of the biggest gifts you can give yourself is to appreciate what you already have. [23:51]
Aaron’s BASICS methodology: breath, attention, surrender, inspiration, choice, share. Use these as the foundational principles for creating the life of your dreams. [27:31]

Education and awareness aren’t enough to change the world; we need action. It’s highly likely that you care about protecting the environment. But what are you doing about it? Katie Patrick is here today to explain the science behind human behavior and share how you can gamify your actions so they have a positive impact on the planet.
Katie is an environmental engineer and designer with a passion for behavioral science. She is on a mission to make it easier for people to make positive environmental changes. She is the creator of various gamification tools (e.g. Block Club, Zerowastify, and Energy Lollipop) that help people measure their impact, reduce their waste, and cut their emissions.
Episode Highlights:
Behavioral science is the science of how humans do things (e.g. if you see other people littering, you are more likely to litter yourself). Gamification, on the other hand, involves coming up with simple ways to track progress between where you are now and where you want to be (e.g. decreasing the size of your carbon footprint) and using rewards to keep yourself motivated. [11:37]
Education isn’t enough to change behaviors. Most people care about the environment already, but we need to use tools, dashboards, and reward systems to make it easier to actually do the actions that have a positive impact. [19:47]
An example of gamifying your environmental impact: to reduce the amount of waste you are producing, measure it (e.g. the number of trash bags coming out of your house per week), make it visible (e.g. write the number somewhere you can see it), create a goal (e.g. to reduce the number of trash bags by half), look at your behaviors and develop actions that will reduce the amount of waste (e.g. stop buying disposable nappies and plastic water bottles), keep measuring, give yourself rewards when your weekly trash is reducing (e.g. a smiley face on your calendar). [23:00]
Find people to join you on your environmental gamification mission. It’s much easier to stick to something when you have a community holding you accountable, and people are much more likely to change their behavior when they there are people around them who they can emulate. [26:08]
You don’t need any complicated applications to create a community. WhatsApp and other social media channels are very effective methods for connecting with people who can become your accountability partners. [32:04]
Get out of your bubble! Sharing your beliefs with people who think differently from you may cause a lot of frustration, but it's the only way to create social diffusion. [51:35]
