Need Focus? Brilliant Podcast

This podcast has focused me like nothing else. I’m listening on repeat to wire the ideas. It’s the fast track, the cheat sheet, the steps to free yourself from constraint to live at a higher level. Everyone should be listening.

Learn the steps to improving your life

This is a great podcast that boils down many principles from across the wellness spectrum into digestible principles you can implement in your life. If you like Huberman, Rich Roll, and Chasing Excellence type podcasts, then this is a must listen as well.

One of the best podcasts I’ve listened to!

This podcast is the best - the way they make everything approachable and clear is so helpful and actionable. Their style is engaging and fun to listen to.

Like a cold plunge - in the best way

All the benefits of the cold plunge without the cold or the plunge. Thank you for “the rules.” They hit me between the eyes every time. Keep going!!

This is seriously an Excellent podcast

Even at 53, this podcast has given me a framework to focus on what is important in life. Once one understands what optimal agency is, they will be compelled to pursue it. I wish this was around when I was younger.
