Habits and Hustle

What happens when a Black NFL analyst and an Israeli activist sit down to have uncomfortable conversations about Judaism and antisemitism? Check out this episode of Habits and Hustle to find out. I am joined by Emmanuel Acho and Noah Tishby to discuss their New York Times bestselling book "Uncomfortable Conversations with a Jew." 

We delve into challenging topics like the perception of Jewish people in America, the rise of antisemitism, and the complexities of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. We also discuss that having open, honest dialogue - even when uncomfortable - is crucial for building understanding between different communities. 

Emmanuel Acho is the #1 New York Times bestselling author of Uncomfortable Conversations with a Black Boy and the New York Times bestseller Uncomfortable Conversations with a Black Man. He is the host/producer of the Emmy Award–winning YouTube series of the same name, and whose mission is to promote dialogue around racial insensitivity and ignorance.

An award-winning producer, Tishby made history with the sale of In Treatment to HBO, the first Israeli television show to become an American series.

Have you ever found yourself waiting for the perfect burst of motivation to start your fitness journey? You're not alone. In this Fitness Friday episode, Andrew Coates and I tackle the age-old question: motivation vs. discipline.

We discuss the common pitfall of procrastination and the importance of starting small, such as simply showing up at the gym. We also discuss the idea of "casting votes for your future self," as James Clear says in his book "Atomic Habits," and how consistency in action, even when you don't feel like it, fosters discipline and confidence.
