    Dark Moments, Fast Decisions: The Mindset That Keeps Elite Athletes Moving

    In this episode of Decisions That Count, Dr. Shawn Watson (neuroscientist) and Michelle O’Brien (Biotech CMO, mum, marathon runner) go inside the world of HYROX Pro Doubles with Máire Mc Ginley and Rachel O’Connor—two elite athletes proving that performance isn’t just about fitness… it’s about decision-making under fatigue. If you’ve ever felt your brain go foggy mid-pressure (in sport, business, parenting, or life), this conversation is your playbook. Máire and Rachel break down how they pre-make micro-decisions, use data to stay calm, and run a “two brains, one race” protocol that keeps emotion from hijacking execution—especially when the wheels start to wobble late in the race. What you’ll learn in this episode The Doubles Decision Protocol: how two athletes operate like one high-performance systemWhy pre-made decisions protect energy (and reduce mistakes) when cognitive load spikesHow “wasted time” (transitions, hesitation, confusion) becomes the hidden performance killerThe moment decision fatigue hits: confidence drops, cohesion slips, physical output declinesMantras that keep you present when doubt creeps in (“Right here, right now”)Why a coach or program can be a decision-fatigue tool: less choosing, more executingThe neuroscience edge: how cognitive load can literally reduce physical performance, and what helpsWhy this matters Science: Decision fatigue is real, physiological, and costly - especially when you’re making thousands of micro-decisions in a high-stress environment. Soul: Better decisions create ripple effects - confidence, calm, clarity, and leadership that lasts (in sport, work, and at home). If you’re building a team, leading a business, training for an event, or just trying to stay steady through life’s mental load—this episode will change how you think about performance.

    45. 65% of People Don’t Know They’re at Risk of Addiction

    The Invisible Decisions Behind Addiction: How Trauma, Genetics & Environment Shape Our Choices. What if addiction isn’t about “bad choices” - but about constrained decision-making capacity? In this powerful episode of Decisions That Count, neuroscientist Dr. Shawn Watson and Biotech CMO Michelle O’Brien sit down with entrepreneur and digital health leader James J. Piacentino, Co-Founder & CEO of Thrive Genetics, to unpack the invisible decisions behind addiction - and what they reveal about decision fatigue, trauma, genetics, environment, and human resilience. James brings a rare perspective: a digital mind with an analog soul. Drawing from two decades in enterprise technology and a deeply personal story shaped by the loss of his father to addiction, he reframes addiction not as moral failure — but as a biological and environmental constraint on choice. 🧠 In This Episode, We Explore: Why addiction is often the result of limited cognitive bandwidth, not weak willpowerHow genetics, trauma, head injuries, and environment shape decision-making capacityThe science behind decision fatigue - and why depleted brains default to habits, avoidance, or risky choicesHow predictive health data can reduce cognitive overload in high-stakes medical decisionsThe role of pain management, caregiving stress, and emotional decision-makingHow one defining decision can transform loss into legacyPractical ways to protect your decision energy and reclaim clarity in everyday life 🔑 Key Takeaways: ✔️ Decision fatigue is physiological, not personal failure ✔️ Trauma and environment quietly narrow our choices - often without us realising ✔️ Better data enables better decisions, confidence, and compassion ✔️ Awareness of patterns and habits reduces cognitive strain ✔️ Intentional decisions create ripple effects - for ourselves and the people we impact 👤 Connect with James J.

    44. The Hidden Machinery Behind Every Decision You Make

    How Your Brain Really Decides (and Why That’s Good News) | Dr. Paul Glimcher on Neuroeconomics + Decision FatigueWelcome back to Decisions That Count - where Dr. Shawn Watson (neuroscientist) and Michelle O’Brien (Biotech CMO, mum, marathon runner) unpack the science + soul of decision-making, so you can reduce cognitive overload, protect your mental clarity, and make choices you’re proud of.In this episode, we’re joined by Dr. Paul Glimcher - Julius Silver Professor of Neural Science, Economics, and Psychology at NYU and a foundational figure in neuroeconomics. Paul has spent decades mapping how the brain assigns value, compares options, and turns competing signals into the decisions that shape our lives.What You’ll Learn in This Episode🧠 1) Your brain often decides before “you” know itPaul reframes the classic question — “Did my brain decide before I did?” — by challenging what “you” actually means. The part of you that talks is just the tip of the iceberg. The rest is still you… it’s just not verbal.⚡ 2) Decision-making is distributed - not one “decision center”We explore how multiple brain systems value different things (habits, long-term goals, impulse cues) and how they “compete” before converging on the circuits that drive behavior.🧩 3) Neuroeconomics: the bridge between neuroscience + psychology + economicsMost fields studied decisions separately for centuries. Neuroeconomics connects them — giving us a more unified understanding of value, choice, and behavior in the real world.😵‍💫 4) Decision fatigue is real… but neuroscience still has gapsPaul gets refreshingly honest: we don’t yet have a clean, proven “neuron gets tired” explanation for why decisions feel harder over time. But we do know what helps — and we discuss practical ways to design your day around decision load.😴 5) Sleep matters (more than you think)Sleep reduces “noise” in the brain and improves decision-making accuracy. If you’re chasing peak performance, sleep isn’t optional — it’s foundational.🌍 6) Your environment is shaping your brain (right now)From literacy to smartphones, the brain adapts to modern life. Paul explains why “nature vs nurture” is the wrong debate — your biology is designed to be shaped by your environment.💛 7) The truth that makes decisions feel lighterPaul’s closing message is one we all need: you’re not broken — you’re an extraordinary, efficient machine operating on limited energy in an overwhelming world.Chapters00:00 Introduction 03:14 The Brain’s Role in Decision-Making05:46 Understanding Decision Fatigue08:53 Neuroeconomics: Bridging Disciplines11:59 The Complexity of Decision-Making14:53 Impulse Control and Personality Traits18:01 Rewiring the Brain for Better Decisions21:09 The Impact of Sleep on Decision-Making24:02 Decision Fatigue: The Modern Epidemic26:57 The Role of Wisdom in Decision-Making30:08 The Influence of Environment on Brain Function32:56 The Future of Decision-Making in a Changing World35:53 Final Thoughts on Decision-Making and OptimismIf this episode hit home…✅ Subscribe for weekly conversations on decision-making, neuroscience, and peak performance💬 Drop a comment: What’s one decision you wish felt lighter right now?⭐ Leave a review on Apple Podcasts — it helps more people find the show📲 Share this with a friend who’s overwhelmed, overthinking, or running on emptyOur mission is to reignite a generation’s belief in the power of their decisions.As always: make every decision count.Keywordsdecision fatigue, decision-making, neuroscience, neuroeconomics, cognitive overload, brain function, impulse control, mental clarity, focus, productivity, sleep and cognition, stress management, habit formation, cognitive function, brain optimization, peak performance, psychology, wisdom, environment design

    43. He Got Fired - Then Built a 40,000-Person Running Community

    From Loneliness to a Global Running Movement | Decision Fatigue, Consistency & Connection (ft. Tyler Swartz, Endorphins Running) What happens when you align your energy with your heart—and make one clear decision? In this episode of Decisions That Count, we sit down in New York with Tyler Swartz, Founder of Endorphins Running, to unpack the moment a simple post (“Hey, does anyone want to run with me?”) turned loneliness into leadership—and sparked a global movement. Tyler shares how Endorphins grew from one person showing up to a community of 40,000+ runners, hosting 2,000 events a year—and what endurance sports can teach all of us about decision fatigue, cognitive overload, resilience, identity, and habits that actually stick. Because running isn’t just physical. It’s a real-time lab for decision-making: pacing, fueling, discomfort, self-talk, environment, and the constant micro-choice to keep going. And the best part? The same tools that help you run can help you lead, learn, parent, and perform under pressure. 🔥 In This Episode, You’ll Learn: Why decision fatigue shows up in training, work, and life—and how to reduce it How simplifying your systems builds consistency (even when motivation disappears) Why community is one of the most underrated performance tools for focus and follow-through How identity shifts (“I’m not a runner” → “I run”) change what you believe is possible The neuroscience behind why running supports brain health, memory, and mental clarity Why nature, sunlight, and routine can upgrade your cognitive function and stress management The power of “energy transfer”—and how your encouragement can change someone’s trajectory 🧠 Quotes That Hit “The best things in life happen when you align your energy with your heart.” “Running saved my life.” “This has nothing to do with running. It’s about making friends.” ⏱️ Chapters 00:00 Introduction 02:57 The Journey of Tyler Schwartz 05:52 Building a Community Through Running 08:58 The Power of Energy Transfer 11:52 Running as a Metaphor for Life 14:50 Cognitive Decision Making in Endurance Sports 18:05 Translating Running Skills to Life 21:06 Overcoming Identity Barriers in Running 23:53 The Neuroscience of Running 26:59 The Benefits of Morning Runs 29:49 Final Thoughts and Takeaways 🎧 Listen + Follow Decisions That Count YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@DecisionsThatCount Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/decisions-that-count/id1796794128 Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/0ORNyRJW3k2RNSp41sNUD0 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/DecisionsThatCount TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@decisionsthatcount LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/decisions-that-count-podcast/ 🏃 Connect with Tyler + Endorphins Running Tyler Swartz: https://www.linkedin.com/in/tylermswartz Endorphins Running (IG): https://www.instagram.com/endorphinsrunning/ Make every decision count.

    42. Why Calories Have Nothing to Do With Nutrition

    Food, Freedom & the Fatigue of Choice (with Jon Engelson) How do you make better food decisions when you’re already mentally exhausted? In this episode, Dr. Shawn Watson (neuroscientist) and Michelle O’Brien (Biotech CMO, mum, marathon runner) sit down with Jon Engelson—veteran entrepreneur, business consultant, holistic health coach, and Chief Strategic Officer of Joburg Meats—to unpack the hidden link between decision fatigue and what ends up on your plate. From the grocery aisle to the dinner table, Jon shares why modern food choices feel so overwhelming, how marketing and misinformation shape our habits, and why returning to whole foods (and simpler defaults) can restore mental clarity, focus, and energy. If you’ve ever found yourself ordering the easiest option at the end of a long day… this conversation is for you. In this episode, you’ll learn: Why “a calorie isn’t just a calorie”—and what actually matters for health and cognition How decision fatigue drives food choices (and why it’s physiological, not “lack of willpower”) The simplest way to reduce overwhelm in the grocery store (hint: shop the outer aisles) Why cooking can be meditative—and a powerful antidote to cognitive overload How social eating supports digestion, mood, and overall well-being A practical rule that works fast: “Don’t remove—add.” (Start with vegetables.) Jon’s most important message: take charge of your health—and verify the information you trust Sound bites you’ll hear “Food is medicine… but it shouldn’t be.” “Add vegetables to every meal.” “Take the decision to put your health into your hands.” Chapters 00:00 Introduction to Food Decisions 02:59 Personal Journey and Health Awakening 05:46 Debunking Food Myths 09:07 The Importance of Whole Foods 12:05 Cooking as a Family Activity 14:55 The Social Aspect of Eating 17:47 Navigating Misinformation in Nutrition 20:53 The Role of Marketing in Food Choices 24:06 Decision Fatigue and Eating Habits 27:04 Practical Tips for Healthier Eating 29:47 Empowering Personal Health Decisions Connect with Jon Engelson: 🔗 Jon Engelson on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/chiefstratigicofficer 🥩 Joburg Meats: https://joburgmeats.com/ If this episode sparks something for you, hit subscribe, leave a review, and share it with someone who’s standing at a major crossroads.

    41. Why High Performers Make Their Worst Decisions Under Pressure

    Tennis might look like a physical game — but what if the real battle is in your brain? 🎾🧠 In this episode of Decisions That Count, Dr. Shawn Watson (neuroscientist & decision fatigue expert) and Michelle O’Brien (Biotech CMO, mum & marathon runner) sit down with Josh Hublitz — former Division I tennis captain, ex–investment banker, and now full-time digital creator — to unpack what really happens to our decisions under pressure. From five-set matches and 16-hour banking days to the uncertainty of creator life, Josh has lived through some of the most intense decision environments you can imagine. He shares how decision fatigue, chronic stress and poor sleep nearly broke him — and how strategic risk, authenticity, and a simple framework for “calculated leaps” reshaped his life and career. If you’ve ever stayed in the “safe” job too long, felt your brain shut down under pressure, or wondered whether you’re one brave decision away from a different life… this one’s for you. In this episode, we explore: 🎾 The strategic mind of a tennis player How hundreds of split-second decisions per match build cognitive resilience — and what “controlling what you can control” really looks like under pressure.🧠 Decision fatigue in sport, banking & everyday life Why, when we’re exhausted, we don’t always default to the safe choice — we often become more impulsive, with real consequences for performance and outcomes.💤 Sleep, chronic stress & cognitive performance The neuroscience behind why poor sleep and high stress put you “behind” before the day even starts — and how better sleep changed the quality of Josh’s decisions.💼 Leaving a six-figure job (and your old identity) The ego hit of walking away from investment banking, and how Josh built a calculated-risk framework for career transitions instead of leaping blindly.🎥 Content creation, authenticity & pressure Why authenticity isn’t a nice-to-have, it’s the only sustainable strategy as a creator — and how Josh uses systems, structure and his athlete mindset to perform creatively.🔁 Building a decision framework you can trust How to balance safety, ego and clarity when you’re at a crossroads, and the power of calculated risks over “safe” choices that slowly cost you your health, freedom and potential.Find Josh here: 🇮🇳 Instagram: @joshhublitz 🌐 Website: joshhublitz.com 🔗 LinkedIn: Josh Hublitz Episode Chapters 00:00 – Introduction 03:10 – Understanding Decision Fatigue 05:49 – The Impact of Physical Conditioning 08:59 – Cognitive Motor Dual Tasking 11:48 – Transitioning from Tennis to Investment Banking 14:48 – Decision Fatigue in High-Stakes Environments 17:59 – The Importance of Sleep 21:00 – Leaving Investment Banking for Freedom 23:54 – Building a Decision Framework 27:03 – The Role of Authenticity in Content Creation 30:00 – Finding Clarity in Career Choices 32:58 – The Journey of a Content Creator 36:06 – Advice for Aspiring Creators 38:53 – The Safe Decision Not Taken If this episode sparks something for you, hit subscribe, leave a review, and share it with someone who’s standing at a major crossroads.
