What are the key announcements for the one-year anniversary?
Hey guys, Mark here. So have you ever had a real breakthrough, like actually understand something about yourself and then two weeks later you're doing the exact same shit again? That's the problem with online courses and content in general. They can give you the plan, but they can't coach you through the moment when life gets in the way.
How can I effectively overcome addiction and prevent relapse?
And then there's another problem with AI tools. They don't actually know you. They just give you generic advice that sounds smart, but doesn't translate into your actual life when it really matters. So I tried to solve both of these problems separately.
What strategies can help with procrastination, especially for those with ADHD?
I built nine courses on the stuff that people actually struggle with, boundaries, procrastination, emotions. And then I co-created Purpose, an AI coach that actually learns who you are and challenges you when you need it. Now they're together for the first time.
What is the science behind manifestation and how does it really work?
You do the exercise from the courses, you talk to the coach about what came up, and then the coach already knows your patterns, your blind spots, what you've been working on, and all of the other exercises that you've done. That's how this stuff can actually stick. So for a limited time, I am selling both of my flagship products, the Solve membership courses and the Purpose AI app together once and for all. So check it out. Go to purpose.app slash solve.
How can I manage panic attacks and move on from a 'perfect' ex?
Link is in the show notes below. Welcome back, everybody, to The Solved Podcast, the last podcast you will ever need. I'm your host, Marc Manson, and we have a very special episode for you today. Yes, it is our one-year anniversary of The Solved Podcast.
What is the uncomfortable truth about self-love and gratitude?
It's been an incredible year. We published 20 episodes, had over 20 million downloads, changed countless lives, and made lots of really bad poop jokes. On top of that, we just reached 3 million subscribers on YouTube, so it's even more of a time to celebrate. And to do that, I'm going to do a Q&A episode with our community. You guys sent in over 200 questions, and we're going to cover a lot of ground today, including advice on overcoming addiction, how to defeat procrastination, even if you have ADHD, getting over a quote-unquote perfect ex, practical tips around gratitude and the limits of self-acceptance, and of course, once again, as always, We will talk about finding your purpose. That seems to be a popular question with you all.
How do I balance purpose and financial success in my life?
But before we get to that, I want to take care of a little bit of housekeeping and make some practical announcements about the show, where things are going and what our plans are for the rest of 2026 and beyond. So for those of you who listen regularly, you have probably noticed that over the past three or four months, we have experimented with doing shorter episodes, more frequent episodes, different sorts of formats, highlight clips, short 20, 30-minute solo episodes of just me. And a lot of this experimentation, to give you a little bit of visibility behind the scenes, Basically, what it comes down to is what we were running into last year is that when you're only doing one massive five-hour episode every single month, that puts a lot of pressure and expectation on that single episode.
And so what myself and Drew and the team were experiencing is just that like... We're throwing hundreds and hundreds of hours each month into this one episode. And if it doesn't perform, it kind of felt like the sky was falling. And so we started thinking of like, OK, well, maybe we can kind of branch out and do some shorter shows and, you know, have some spinoffs and have highlights that we can revisit and add to the feed. And.
What insights can be gained from living a nomadic lifestyle and pursuing FIRE?
While that was a useful experiment, the team and I have decided that we are actually going to double down on the super long episodes. Starting in June, we are going back to the single solved episode each month. And that episode is going to be as comprehensive as possible. It will follow the show's promise of attempting to be the last episode you will ever need to listen to on that topic. And we just decided that we would rather go big or go home. In the meantime, we have a couple more episodes lined up for May.
