    In this episode of Mind Matters, Ben, Kabir, and Ethan expose the pervasive issues in the media ecosystem that lead to polarization. They also discuss aspects deep rooted in our psychology that make us vulnerable to political division. This episode does not take any political or ideological stance but simply analyzes political isolation in our society and its effect on individual mental health.

    #26 - Procrastination

    In this episode of Mind Matters, Kabir, Ben, and Ethan take a look at one of the most pervasive and misunderstood mental roadblocks of the modern era: procrastination. Far more than a lapse in time management or a marker of laziness, procrastination is a misalignment of identity: a hasty preference for the “present” self over the “future” self, rooted in anxiety about expectations and, frequently, concerns about self-worth. Join us for a revealing conversation steeped in our own experiences and enriched with a great selection of practical, productivity-enhancing tips.

    #25 - How to Set Goals for the New Year (Without Quitting by February)

    In this episode of Mind Matters, Ethan, Kabir, and Ben sit down to reflect on a timely and much-needed topic for the new year: goals. Evaluating the best ways to create, persist through, and find purpose in goals, they draw from both established literature (like James Clear’s Atomic Habits) and their personal paths to better goal-setting, while also offering tips for setbacks (which inevitably accompany any worthwhile goal). Join us for this personal—yet deeply practical—conversation, and start your year off with a fresh dose of mindfulness. Mind Matters website: https://www.mindmatterspodcast.net/
