29 Dec 2025
Chapter 1: What is the main topic discussed in this episode?
This is an iHeart Podcast.
Chapter 2: How can you actually get ahead in life?
Guaranteed human. I'm Eva Longoria. And I'm Maite Gomez-Rejuan. And this week on our podcast, Hungry for History, we talk oysters, plus the miambi chief stops by. If you're not an oyster lover, don't even talk to me.
Ancient Athenians used to scratch names onto oyster shells to vote politicians into exile. So our word ostracize is related to the word oyster. No way. Bring back the ostracon.

Chapter 3: What should you do when you're unhappy at work?
On this week's episode of The Next Chapter, I, GD Jakes, get to sit down with Oprah Winfrey, a media mogul, philanthropist, and global trailblazer.
I could feel inside myself at four or five years old, looking through the screen on the back porch, that this is not gonna be my life.
Listen to the next chapter on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Episodes drop weekly. No one is harmed, no death, no trauma, just a few cells grown in a dish. This is David Eagleman from the Inner Cosmos podcast. And this week, we're tackling a tough question where brain science meets the future.
Lab-grown meat is going to force us to confront the boundaries of our ethics. And what does this have to do with brain plasticity, social belonging, messed up boundaries between mental categories?
Chapter 4: Why do we often talk ourselves out of our passions?
What does this uncover about brain science and our calculations of morality? Listen to Inner Cosmos on the iHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Most people are focused on the result based goal, which is when I lose 40 pounds, then I will have hit my goal. That is a result.
You still set the result based goal, but then what you do is you create something that's called daily action based goals. As long as I get these things done every single day, it is a success. Hey everyone, welcome back to On Purpose, the place you come to become happier, healthier, and more healed.
Today, my guest is a dear friend, Rob Dow, leading mindset coach and the host of the Mindset Mentor podcast.

Chapter 6: How can you build a new skill from scratch?
Hey, I'm so excited to be here, man. I love being here with you. Dude, the last time you were here, our episode just crushed. Like people loved it. The comments were crazy. Views were awesome.
Chapter 7: What strategies help maintain consistency in life changes?
I just love how clear cut you are. Thank you. There's no BS. It's really practical, pragmatic advice. Anyone can do it. You don't have to have a starting point of money or followers or success. And I think that lands really well. The first question I have for you is what can someone today listening do to be ahead of 99% of people?
Chapter 8: How can focusing on one habit for 100 days impact your life?
Hmm. I think the main thing that people can do if they want to be ahead, depending on what ahead means to them, is I think that they can develop their discipline within themselves. I think that one thing that I've become really obsessed with over the past couple of years is thinking about the idea of discipline. Because I think discipline has a very bad connotation.
Like if somebody does something wrong, then they're disciplined. Or a dog's supposed to be doing something wrong, you discipline a child, discipline. But I think that the connotation that we have with discipline is actually incorrect. I think discipline, if used correctly, is possibly the greatest form of self-love.
Because you don't have to have any discipline to do something that's not good for you. So if you want to sleep in every single day of your life, you don't have to have discipline for that. If you don't want to go to the gym, you don't have to have discipline for that. If you want to just eat the crappiest food that's out there, you don't need discipline for it.
But if you want to wake up earlier, you want to make sales calls, grow a business, if you want to get your body in the healthiest shape you possibly can. You need discipline for it. And discipline is always needed for something that is good for you.
And so the thing that I think people need to do is they need to develop a different relationship with discipline so that they don't think I'm doing this because I hate myself because something's wrong or because whatever it might be, it's, I'm going to become a more disciplined person because I love myself so much. And, uh,
For me, I wasn't a disciplined person at all before I got into self-development. Number one, I was a surfer. I was a stoner. I did a bunch of drugs, did a bunch of partying. I slept in, made excuses, never made any money, never really had a whole lot of happiness. And then when I was 19 years old, I got into a sales company.
And I learned, OK, if I'm going to sit down and make phone calls, hundreds of phone calls to people who have no clue that I'm about to call them, Every single day, I need to be disciplined. And it was a thing of, okay, I know what my life could be if I take this action, and my life will be better if I take this action.
I don't want to take this action, but I know that my life will be better if I take this action. So I'm going to take this action because I know future me will thank me for it. And what's really cool about discipline, there's a whole lot of science and neuroscience has been found. There's a part of your brain called the interior mid-cingulate cortex, which is basically
basically where they're thinking that discipline and willpower come from. And so like for people who are athletes, like professional athletes, they have a larger than average interior mid-singular cortex than the average person. Not because they were born that way, but because of the fact that they grew it. It's like a muscle inside of, you know, you want to work your biceps.
