This week on Morning Brew’s Business Casual podcast, we talk to Mirror CEO Brynn Putnam to understand exactly how tech’s influence on today’s fitness startups is impacting the business world.

Today’s episode marks the 100th episode of STEM-Talk and the return of guest Peter Attia, who Ken and Dawn interviewed for episode one of STEM-Talk back in 2016.

Peter is the founder of Attia Medical, a medical practice with offices in San Diego and New York City that focuses on the applied science of longevity. Peter emphasizes nutritional biochemistry, exercise physiology, sleep physiology, lipidology, pharmacology and four-system endocrinology to help people increase their lifespan and health span.

Peter is the host of the podcast The Drive. He earned his M.D. from Stanford University and holds a B.S. in mechanical engineering and applied mathematics.

We're a month into the new year now. How are you doing on your resolutions? Have you already fallen off the wagon? Maybe the goal you set for yourself was just too big to successfully tackle. You need to think smaller. Tiny, even.

That's the argument my guest makes. His name is Dr. BJ Fogg, and he's the founder and director of Stanford's Behavior Design Lab, as well as the author of the new book Tiny Habits: The Small Changes That Change Everything. Today on the show, BJ walks us through the three components that drive our behavior, including the simple yet overlooked relationship between motivation and ability. He then explains how to build habits that feel easier and require lower levels of motivation by picking behaviors that are good matches for you and breaking them down into smaller parts. We also talk about the need to tie your habits to turnkey prompts, the importance of celebrating your successes, no matter how small, and the way tiny habits can lead to bigger changes. We end our conversation with why you should think about the process of getting rid of your bad habits as untangling them rather than breaking them.

Podcast Notes Key Takeaways

• Constantly run experiments to figure out how you can improve various aspects of your life—keep them short and low-budget
• You can’t think your way to your passion; you have to go out into the world and do things
• Your true calling lies at the intersection of what you’re good at, what you love to do, what you people will pay you for, and what society needs
• You don’t have to be the best in the world at a specific skill—take 2-3 skills your good at and combine them to create something great
• Don’t be afraid to take two steps back to move four steps forward

  • “Once a woman gets aroused, she can feel her desire much more” – Suzanne Iasenza
• The best romantic relationships are ones in which the couple is able to quickly recover from fights
• Your love isn’t obvious; frequently express love and gratitude towards your partner
• “Some people take care of their cars more than their relationships” – Suzanne Iasenze
  • Don’t be one of those people—have date nights, spend time together, and nurture your relationship
