Desire and the Battle of Present vs. Future-self
Who are you VS. Who do you want to be?
It could also be stated - What do you want to do now VS. What do you want to have done?
In both cases, the reality of how we act in the present moment can often be very different than all the desires of who we want to be and what we want to achieve in the future.
In this episode, we break down the Psychology of the Behaviour model that drives our actions. We learn how to close the gap between our desires and our actions to achieve our own version of success and happiness.

Hacking Your Own Mind
I love this podcast. It gives me insight into my own mind and how it works. As a life-long student of the mind/body/spirit connection, I love this secular approach and how it integrates with my more spiritual bent. Well done!
Inspirational, insightful, with universal examples.
Sam does a great job talking about everything related to a growth mindset. Episodes are filled with a flow from start to finish about growth mind set insights from both universal examples and his own personal experiences that help bring our own lives into better perspective.
Amazing introduction into the podcast world
This has been my first time listening to podcasts of any variety, and I literally have been binging episodes every day in the car, at the gym, work, etc. love the content. Very useful tips for someone new to their self discovery journey like myself!
