    How to Help People Feel Comfortable | Episode 179

    A friend asked me what I thought my superpower was. I think mine is the ability to make people feel comfortable. A big part of our podcast is having open and vulnerable conversations with some of the best athletes in the world. We try really hard to make them feel comfortable, seen, and valued and that allows for a beautiful, open, and sometimes really vulnerable conversation. In this one, I break down the six things I've learned about making people feel comfortable: Slow down when you first meet someone Remembering someone's name is the best compliment you can give them Become genuinely interested in other people Give specific compliments Physical touch Smile Follow us on Instagram:@keeganandcompanypodcast See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

  2. Not Every Mountain Is Worth the View, Fulfilment Over Achievement | #178 Chris Griffin

    Not Every Mountain Is Worth the View, Fulfilment Over Achievement | #178 Chris Griffin

    Chris and I went deep on some of the things I think a lot of people struggle to talk about, internal fulfilment, purpose, peace, and what happens when we don't have any of it. We talked about the difference between being alone and being lonely. Two very different things. And how sitting with ourselves, actually sitting with ourselves, might be one of the best ways to figure out who we are and what we actually want to do with our lives. We also explored this idea that if the price outweighs the prize, it's not worth entering the race or doing the race more sustainable. Climbing an extremely hard mountain when the view at the top isn't even good. Putting yourself through pain that doesn't have a good outcome. Sometimes the bravest thing you can do is walk away from the thing that's breaking you.

    #177 The Psychology of Habit Stacking | The Easiest Way to Build New Habits

    Want to build a new habit but can't seem to make it stick? This episode will show you why starting from scratch is so hard, and how stacking new habits onto ones you already do makes change so much easier. Recorded from a hotel bed in Boston a few days out from the Boston Marathon, this solo episode breaks down what habit stacking is, why it works, and how to use the simple "after I do X, I will do Y" formula to slide positive habits into your day. Plus the work of James Clear (Atomic Habits) and Dr BJ Fogg (Tiny Habits) that underpins it all. If you've been trying to start a new habit and it's just not landing, this one's for you. Your homework: Pick one habit you already do without thinking. Stack one new positive behaviour on top of it. Let us know how you go. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

    #176 Jacqui Bell: Youngest Person to Run an Ultra on Every Continent

    Jacqui Bell is one of Australia's most impressive ultra runners. She's the youngest person to complete a multi-stage ultra marathon on every continent, has run over 100 ultras, 14 multi-day races, and now works as a journalist at Channel Nine. Ten years ago she was 22, watching someone else run an ultra on YouTube. That same day she Googled how to train for one. Within 24 hours she'd signed up to four desert races on four continents in eight months, with $500 to her name. We discuss the day she nearly broke in Namibia, the stranger in Mongolia who handed her $20,000, and why she thinks balance is harder than suffering. We get into the science of mental resilience, why showing up matters more than feeling ready, the difference between male and female confidence in ultra-endurance sport, what running 19 hours alone through a desert teaches you about negative self-talk, and the addictive personality that drives people like Jacqui to chase bigger and bigger goals. A really honest one. Big thanks to Jacqui for her time.Follow Jacqui: https://www.instagram.com/jacquiabell/ See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

    #175 The Psychology of "Lucky Girl Syndrome"

    Lucky girl syndrome went viral on TikTok, but the psychology behind it is decades old. In this episode, Keegan unpacks confirmation bias, locus of control, and why the stories we tell ourselves shape what we notice in the world. Drawing on conversations with Dr. Megan Lee and his own experience of being medically retired from the NRL at 24, Keegan breaks down how belief systems form, why gratitude rewires the brain toward optimism, and how to catch the negative inner voice before it takes hold.

He shares the line he lives by and why staying true to your own strengths, and your own feelings, matters more than meeting anyone else's expectations.

    #173 The Psychology Of Toxic Productivity: Why Loving Your Work Burns You Out Faster

    In this episode, Keegan breaks down toxic productivity - the compulsive need to always be doing, achieving, or optimising until it stops serving your life and starts consuming it. Drawing on recent conversations with Grace Grove, Jackie Bell, and Dr. Megan Lee, plus a personal realisation that hit close to home, Keegan explores why people who work on things they love experience burnout more than anyone else, and what it actually costs when the people you care about get the leftover version of you.
