Introduction and chapter reading recap (1:00 - 5:03)

Scarcity Brain Introduction - Chapter 2 discussion (5:04 - 53:07)

• What is the most annoying, difficult, or destructive form a “scarcity loop” you or the people you know and love have been or are caught in? (5:04 - 19:09)
• Was anyone previously aware of the “scarcity loop” tendency in human nature? Now that you’re aware, do you think you’re more equipped to not get stuck in as many scarcity loops? (19:10 - 29:36)
• After recapping chapters 1-2, the guys discuss their own scarcity loop experiences around gambling and ways to lean into self-control in all aspects of life (29:37 - 53:07)
