Jim Curtis spent 25 years building major health media companies like WebMD before realising conscious knowledge only gets you halfway. He breaks down why willpower and motivation are temporary until you reprogram your subconscious beliefs, how your identity determines your reality, and what's actually holding you back from the life you want. We also cover the real difference between actual hypnotherapy and the fake billionaire hypnotists selling quick fixes on social media.

Mercedes Coffman is a marriage and family therapist who's noticed everyone's making the same mistake with dating, confusing intensity with compatibility. She breaks down what chemistry actually tells you (nothing about long-term potential), the nervous system's role in partner selection, and why your past trauma is attracted to familiar dysfunction. Also covers how men and women assess partners differently, and what actually needs to happen before you decide someone is your person. 00:00 Introduction 02:03 Modern dating challenges with instant gratification 06:00 Personal experiences with dating apps and challenges 12:00 Therapy's role in understanding relationship patterns 18:09 Chemistry vs compatibility in relationships 24:41 The importance of patience in dating 30:25 Differences in dating cultures across regions 36:09 Dating app experiences and their varied impacts 42:56 Vulnerability and emotional risks in relationships 50:08 Oversharing vs fostering emotional safety 57:23 The concept of cheating and its nuances 1:04:31 Long-distance relationships: benefits and challenges 1:11:08 The issue with "nice guys" in modern dating 1:17:09 Financial stability's role in pursuing relationships 1:31:55 Can relationships survive infidelity? » Escape the 9-5 & build your dream life - https://www.digitalplaybook.net/ » Transform your physique - https://www.thrstapp.com/ » My clothing brand, THRST - https://thrstofficial.com » Discover Bioniq Lab peptide products- https://bioniqlab.com/mike10 10% off with code MIKE10 » Join our newsletter for actionable insights from every episode: https://thrst-letter.beehiiv.com/ » Join Whoop and get your first month for free - join.whoop.com/FirstThingsThrst » Follow Mercedes Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/mercedescoffmantherapy/?hl=en Website: https://www.mercedescoffmantherapy.com/

Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/hackyoumedia/ Website: https://hackyou.media/ Michael Gervais spent 25 years coaching world-class athletes and discovered that fear of other people's opinions is more powerful than most realise it is. He explains why our brains are still running prehistoric programming and why the best in the world treat psychology like a separate skill to train, not a weakness. The uncomfortable truth about entrepreneurship and growth, it requires tolerating cold air on your skin, and most people retreat the moment it hurts. 00:00 Introduction 04:20 Personal struggles and psychology in sports 09:05 Big wave surfing and lessons on focus 14:37 Experiencing stress in entrepreneurship and optimism 21:55 The essence of adventure in entrepreneurship 29:40 Real-life examples of handling stress and leadership 34:11 Team dynamics versus individual coaching effectiveness 38:51 Mental imagery and powerful future visioning 44:23 Overcoming FOPO and building self-confidence 50:37 Skills and mindset investment for personal growth 56:33 Perspectives on handling high-pressure moments 1:04:11 Balancing personal and professional lives effectively 1:10:43 Building a positive mindset and tackling challenges » Escape the 9-5 & build your dream life - https://www.digitalplaybook.net/ » Transform your physique - https://www.thrstapp.com/ » My clothing brand, THRST - https://thrstofficial.com/ » Discover Bioniq Lab peptide products - https://bioniqlab.com/mike10 10% off with code MIKE10 » Join our newsletter for actionable insights from every episode: https://thrst-letter.beehiiv.com/ » Join Whoop and get your first month for free - join.whoop.com/FirstThingsThrst » Follow Michael Gervais Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/michaelgervais/?hl=en Website: https://www.instagram.com/michaelgervais/?hl=en

Father Moses came from the streets expecting prison or death, found something unexpected in his lowest moment, and now teaches people how to build spiritual lives that actually work.

Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/hackyoumedia/ Website: https://hackyou.media/ How Peter Rahal dominated the protein bar market twice by finding gaps everyone else missed. Peter started RxBar in 2010 when CrossFit was exploding, and the market had zero clean protein options. He made them in his apartment with a KitchenAid mixer and five ingredients, then scaled to 10,000 bars per day. The biggest mistake most entrepreneurs make: they don't understand their market deeply enough before scaling, and the technical details (water activity, shelf life, microbiology) destroy you if you wing it. The formula that works: superior macros, good taste, clean ingredients, fair price. And America is easier to dominate than Europe because there's no tall poppy syndrome, everyone just wants you to win. 00:00 Introduction 02:01 Mike introduces Peter and the RX Bar success 06:12 Transition from kitchen to commercial production 11:21 Overcoming scaling challenges and shelf-life issues 14:28 First breakthrough with Wegmans retail partnership 20:08 Road to a $600M exit and maintaining integrity 25:20 Post-exit identity crisis and brief hedonism 30:36 The itch to build again and non-compete limitations 33:35 Returning to protein bars with a unique approach 37:12 The rise of protein products in everyday foods 45:17 Launching David bars with innovative ingredients 54:15 Incorporating AI and fostering a productive team 1:02:10 Future goals and diversification with new brands » Escape the 9-5 & build your dream life - https://www.digitalplaybook.net/ » Transform your physique - https://www.thrstapp.com/ » My clothing brand - https://thrstofficial.com/ » Discover Bioniq Lab peptide products - https://bioniqlab.com/mike10 10% off with code MIKE10 » Join our newsletter for actionable insights from every episode: https://thrst-letter.beehiiv.com/ » Join Whoop and get your first month for free - join.whoop.com/FirstThingsThrst » Follow Peter Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/peterrahal/?hl=en David Protein: https://davidprotein.com/
