    Episode 965: Easing the Pressure

    Today’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.

    Episode 964: Simplifying Life

    Today’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.

    Today’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.

    Episode 962: A Rough Time

    Today’s podcast is a wandering one. It starts out a little gory, with details of an unpleasant recent experience of mine, but it ties into quite a beautiful thing on the other side. I hope you enjoy the reflection and that it brings you come value. Thanks for listening. As always, Much Love ❤️ and please take care.

    Episode 961: A Stopped Watch

    As 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.

    Episode 959: Little Steps

    Today’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.

    Episode 958: A Powerful Combination

    Today’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.
