March 07, 2026Episode 966: My Thoughts on Attacking IranToday’s podcast is an extensive one, but it needs to be. I’ve taken my time to think about where we are with our attack on Iran, and I lay that thinking out here. I organize it into two sides, but each side introduces several variables in their own right. I hope it helps you to understand the situation more clearly and that it can help you to make a more informed assessment of where we are and what you think is right. Perhaps you’ll align with me. Perhaps not. What’s most important is that you actually think for yourself. Thanks for listening. As always, Much Love ❤️ and please take care....more22minPlay
March 01, 2026Episode 965: Easing the PressureToday’s run reminded me of a very useful lesson about performance. For those who are like me, the pressure we impose on ourselves can often make our performance worse, even if it feels like it’s supposed to improve it. Easing off and focusing on my breathing, staying steady, and being in the moment led me to a much faster pace than I expected, in addition to a more positive experience of the run itself. I hope it’s a reflection that brings you some value as well. Thanks for listening. As always, Much Love ❤️ and please take care....more11minPlay
February 26, 2026Episode 964: Simplifying LifeToday’s podcast puts a microscope on what a typical day looks like for me during the week. This professional phase has demanded a lot from me, and my approach to meet those demands has been one of simplicity. As I’ve said many times before, simple doesn’t mean easy. Executing on simple over these last several weeks has made a big difference for me, so I wanted to share a bit about that here. I hope it brings you some value and inspires you to think more simply as well. Thanks for listening. As always, Much Love ❤️ and please take care....more8minPlay
February 22, 2026Episode 963: Quarter Four 2025Today’s podcast is a recording of my latest Substack post, where I compiled my key learnings from the final quarter of 2025: www.mbest.substack.com/p/quarter-four-2025 . There’s a lot here, so I’m sure some of the points will be insightful or at least get you thinking. Thanks for listening. As always, Much Love ❤️ and please take care....more13minPlay
February 18, 2026Episode 962: A Rough TimeToday’s podcast is a wandering one.

I hope you enjoy the reflection and that it brings you come value. Thanks for listening. As always, Much Love ❤️ and please take care....more12minPlay
February 12, 2026Episode 961: A Stopped WatchAs I ran yesterday, my watch missed a mile and a half due to a technical glitch. In the moment, I was immediately a little upset because it didn’t record that stretch of the run and I might not be able to fix it on the back end. Shortly after that initial thought, I realized something much more important, which I take some time to share here. I hope it brings you some inspiration and quality reflection. Thanks for listening. As always, Much Love ❤️ and please take care....more7minPlay

February 07, 2026Episode 959: Little StepsToday’s podcast starts with a reflection on a small change I have recently made in my life. Despite how small it seems, I have felt its effects more broadly in my life in an outsized way compared to how small of a change it appears to be. I reflect on this process, along with its many impacts of which we benefit a great deal from remaining aware. Thanks for listening. As always, Much Love ❤️ and please take care....more10minPlay
February 04, 2026Episode 958: A Powerful CombinationToday’s podcast is a reflection on some challenges I’ve been working through over the past week. There are a couple of key pieces that have helped me deal with them in a productive way. They may seem obvious, but I know that the obvious is often hard to put into practice, so I wanted to take some time to talk them through as an incentive for you to put it into practice, too. Thanks for listening. As always, Much Love ❤️ and please take care....more8minPlay
February 01, 2026Episode 957: A Friendly ReminderToday’s podcast is meant to pull us out of the craziness that the world can throw at us, with the intention of turning us back in toward what is within our reach. When it feels like so much is going on, it is most important to not forget the essentials of our individual existences. To leap out into the world, we need a solid foundation, and in this episode I share a bit about what comprises that foundation and how I approach it. I hope it brings you some insight and inspiration. Thanks for listening. As always, Much Love ❤️ and please take care. ...more10minPlay
