The Lies That Mislead and Derail Us
Are you lying to yourself? There are lies we tell ourselves all the time that trip us up. They’re little things we whisper in our own ear that we think will help us be productive, build good habits, or grow our business, but they don’t. In this episode, we’re going to go over the most common lies that mislead and derail us.
The list includes things like “Oh I’ll just multitask and get these things done quicker” or “I’ll just rely on willpower in the moment.” Those are statements that only lead to struggles and failure later. Don’t use them to plan your day, much less your life.
We talk frankly about prioritization, focus, discipline, willpower, and work-life balance. We give you the truth to counteract those little lies. Tune in and learn what to tell yourself next time you’re tempted to mislead yourself.

Creating a Culture of Growth
You’ve probably heard of the fixed vs. growth mindset. But did you know it applies to whole organizations, not just individual people? And, just like with individuals, there are certain things you can do to change, improve, and support an organization’s mindset. Today, Dr. Mary C. Murphy, a protege of Carol Dweck and an esteemed psychology researcher in her own right, takes us through her newest book, “Cultures of Growth.”
Business organizations are full of mindset triggers– situations that shift individuals’ mindset to be more fixed-oriented than growth-oriented. Evaluations, high effort assignments, and feedback can easily create fixed mindset thoughts of “I’m terrible” or “I’m great” instead of “What can I continue to get better.” Dr. Murphy discusses how leaders, and even non-leaders, can purposefully frame these situations to prevent a slide into a fixed-mindset and create an overall culture that supports growth mindsets.
This episode is jam-packed with neuroscience research, actionable tips, and “aha” moments. Dr. Murphy really puts on a masterclass for us. We hope you get as much out of it as we did.
Check out Dr. Mary C. Murphy’s book, "Cultures of Growth," today. In a world where success seems reserved for a chosen few, Cultures of Growth unveils a radically different approach to creating organizations that inspire learning, growth, and success at all levels.

The Phenomenon of Fluke - Chance, Chaos, and Why Everything We Do Matters
Brian Klaas, a distinguished political scientist and author, brings to light the profound impact of chance and unpredictability in our lives. With a rich background that spans academia to journalism, Klaas's insights into the dynamics of chaos and order challenge our perceptions of control and destiny. His latest work, "Fluke: Chance, Chaos, and Why Everything We Do Matters," delves deep into the essence of unpredictability, offering a fresh perspective on the forces shaping our world.
Klaas's personal journey, marked by a blend of calculated decisions and unforeseen events, serves as a testament to the power of embracing uncertainty. His narratives, rich with historical anecdotes and personal experiences, reveal the hidden threads of chance that weave through the fabric of our existence. These stories not only entertain but also enlighten, urging us to reconsider the role of randomness in our daily lives.
Drawing from Klaas's wisdom, one actionable piece of advice emerges: the importance of adaptability. In a world where the only constant is change, cultivating an ability to navigate the unknown becomes our greatest asset. Klaas encourages us to experiment, adapt, and remain open to the myriad possibilities that chance encounters may bring. By doing so, we not only enhance our resilience but also open doors to new opportunities and experiences that can lead to unexpected joy and fulfillment.
