    Introducing: The School of Greatness

    Introducing Your Body Language Is Telling You You're Not Safe | Amy Cuddy from The School of Greatness. Follow the show: The School of Greatness Your body is talking to your brain constantly, telling it either 'I'm safe' or 'I'm not safe.' The posture you default to when no one's watching might be the thing keeping you stuck. Amy Cuddy, the social psychologist behind one of the most-watched TED Talks ever, sat down to unpack what actually builds confidence when the world feels unstable. She talks about the difference between faking it and becoming it, why imposter syndrome hits 75-85% of people, and why the bullies who came after her post-TED fame taught her more about personal power than the research ever did. You'll hear about the exact breathing pattern she uses before high-stakes moments, the simple writing exercise that beats any pep talk, and why she thinks reframing anxiety as excitement changes everything. There's also a story about a nurse named Alex Wubbels who got thrown against a wall for doing the right thing, and what that taught Amy about the kind of bravery that has no glory attached to it. This conversation will make you rethink every time you've shrunk yourself to avoid being noticed. Sit up straight, not for anyone else, but because you deserve the respect you keep giving away. Bullied: The Culture of Cruelty and the Surprising Power of Social Bravery Presence: Bringing Your Boldest Self to Your Biggest Challenges Amy’s website Amy on Instagram Amy on LinkedIn Amy’s TED Talk In this episode you will: Reclaim your sense of personal power using postural feedback and 4-7-8 breathing before high-stakes moments Rewrite the self-doubt that keeps you silent by practicing self-affirmation theory rooted in your core values Transform pre-performance anxiety into excitement using Alison Wood Brooks's reframing research Discover why bumblers earn more trust than pointers when things go wrong in public Overcome imposter syndrome by shifting focus from how you're judged to how you can serve others Draw the line between confidence and arrogance so self-belief fuels you instead of blinding you For more information go to https://lewishowes.com/1973 More SOG episodes we think you’ll love!

    Jack Doherty Stepping to Andrei Arlovski Shows How Clout Warps Reality | Episode 467

    On this episode of The Schaub Show, Brendan Schaub breaks down the story of Jack Doherty and three of his friendstrying to step up to Andrei Arlovski — and why that kind of confidence gets people hurt fast. Brendan explains the massive difference between influencer bravado and real fighting experience, why heavyweight legends like Arlovski operate in a completely different reality, and how internet fame can warp people’s sense of danger. The conversation highlights why stepping to a real professional fighter isn’t entertainment, isn’t a joke, and isn’t something numbers or followers prepare you for. The episode also dives into influencer fight culture, ego, clout, and why fans consistently underestimate what elite fighters are capable of, even later in their careers.

The episode also touches on boxing vs MMA, how real fighting works at the elite level, the role of promotion and streaming platforms, and why Jake Paul has been able to exploit a broken system while making more money than most champions ever will.
