 In This Interview James and I Discuss…

  • The One You Feed parable.
  • How money can be an addiction that society rewards.
  • How much we over estimate one defining moment versus steady day to day behavior.
  • The aggregation of marginal gains- improve by 1% in everything you do.
  • Small changes can lead to big results.
  • Reduce the Scope, Stick to The Schedule.
  • Not letting your emotions drive your behavior.
  • The difference between professionals and amateurs.
  • It’s not the result that matters but the action and habit.
  • The 2 Minute Rule.
  • How willpower often comes after we start, not before.
  • “Start with something so easy you can’t say no to it”- Leo Babuta
  • You don’t have to be great at the start, you just need to be there.
  • Learning from our failures and seeing it as a data point.
  • Seeing failure as an event, not as part of us.
  • How mentally tough people define themselves by their persistence, not failure.
  • Acquiring more mental toughness or grit.
  • How 21 days to create a habit is a myth.
  • Missing a habit once in awhile is not a big deal.
  • Never missing twice.
  • Fixed Mindset versus Growth Mindset.
  • How your job is to live out your unique path.
  • The difference between competitiveness and comparison.
  • How the performance matters, not the judgement of it.
  • Ambition and contentment are not opposites.
