Fat loss doesn’t have to be mystical, it’s actually a simple formula, with consistent inputs that have consistent outputs (eat veggies and get into a calorie deficit = lose fat) The hard part is what behavioural inputs you need to ACTUALLY do it. Not just go to the gym each week, but HOW to make yourself do it when you just want to lie on the couch and watch Netflix. That’s where habits come in… and using the 4 stages of habit building to make positive behaviours easy and obvious, and negative o...

This concept comes from the great Charlie Munger (this entire episode was inspired by his work) and is all about inverting success. Be warned. This episode is spicy. I go hard on core beliefs that are probably holding you back. There are 3 that most people ho...

We’re going to talk about how to really make change. Most people say they want it, but won’t actually create systems that force a change in behaviour.
