  • Soothing and Inspiring

    I’ve been listening to this podcast for at least a year now and I’ve really been enjoying it. Sam’s voice is not only soothing, but the information that he shares is so relatable and it feels like talking to a very knowledgeable friend. I love his fascination with MrBeast and just how much of a real human he seems to be. Thank you, Sam for your time and knowledge!

  • A Big Help

    I’m almost 69 years old and have come to the conclusion that I need to work harder at having a growth mindset, especially since I recently retired, but I’m not ready to retire from life. I came across this podcast and I love it. Diverse topics. Simple applications. Appreciate the “5 seconds” at each episode end. Highly recommend.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Designing Your Ambition Around A Life You Enjoy - w/ David Meltzer
Q: How do you think you could have taught that to yourself when you still didn't have any money and you were kind of feeling scarce, if that makes sense?
Meltzer says learning that money does not buy happiness usually requires either a highly effective mentor who helps someone experience the lesson or direct personal experience. Mentors and parents can share lessons and accelerate learning, but he believes the insight must reach the level of feeling to take hold.
Designing Your Ambition Around A Life You Enjoy - w/ David Meltzer
Q: Your life mission is to empower over 1 billion people to be happy, which is an amazing mission. But I just want to know why? Why did you choose that mission?
Meltzer says his mission grew from researching unhappiness after his 12-year-old daughter's friend died by suicide. He found gratitude was common among happy people and wanted to help others create abundance, help people and have fun.
AMA: Accountability and Procrastination, Lasting Enthusiasm and Auditory Processing Issues
Q: What are practical steps to overcome procrastination when you have ADHD?
Break tasks into tiny steps, create external accountability, use visual planning tools, and implement routines like regular walks to reset creativity and momentum.
AMA: Accountability and Procrastination, Lasting Enthusiasm and Auditory Processing Issues
Q: What is the difference between enthusiasm and a negativity bias, and how can you address each?
Enthusiasm is positive energy toward tasks, while negativity bias focuses on negative experiences; addressing both involves reframing, building supportive routines, and adopting strategies that highlight progress and strengths.
AMA: Accountability and Procrastination, Lasting Enthusiasm and Auditory Processing Issues
Q: How does auditory processing difficulty affect willingness to learn in children?
It makes language-heavy tasks more challenging, reduces confidence, and increases anxiety, but with supportive environments, visual aids, and targeted teaching strategies, willingness to learn can be maintained or recovered.
