Years ago my wife and I went to see a therapist.

She asked me and my wife the one question neither of us wanted to answer.

“You guys want to do the work together, or Mike, do you want to do it with another partner? Lisa, do you want to do it with another partner?”

The heaviest question isn’t “what’s wrong with us.”

It’s whether you’re still willing to choose each other, and hearing “I don’t want to do this shit with anyone else” is what gave them a chance.

The miracle question.

If a miracle happened tonight and everything you’re hoping for would be different in the morning, what is the miracle?

What would the beautiful life be tomorrow morning when you woke up?

This is a grounded question in a well-researched psychological intervention.

What’s your miracle? 👇🏼

What if the calmest person in the room isn’t avoiding pressure, but experiencing it differently?

Gurudev and Mike get into why he defines success as exhibiting your limitation, why he thinks failure is worth being proud of, and why authority over your own mind is the only authority there really is. Mike asks him when his body last went into fight or flight. He says it never has.

This one is for people who are working hard and running warm. What Gurudev points back to is small and repeatable, breathing and meditation, and he says the first sitting is enough to feel the difference.

Your dream spouse is the person you’re going to fight with. 

Your dream home is the home you’re going to spend all your money repairing. 

Your dream job is the job you’re going to lay awake stressing over.

It’s not to say none of these things are worth having. 

It just means that this is part of wanting it. You’re also wanting the cost.

You can’t just want the benefit of something. You have to want the cost of something. 

That’s the drum that Mark tends to bang on in everything I do.

If your body already has powerful systems designed to repair and protect you, are your daily habits helping switch them on... or working against them?

Comment “CANCER” and we’ll send you the full episode of Finding Mastery with Dr. Valter Longo, professor and director of the Longevity Institute at USC and one of the world’s leading researchers on aging, nutrition, and lifespan. 

In this episode, you’ll learn:

•Why aging and cancer are deeply connected
•The trade-off between growth and protection that shapes how we age
•Why Longo believes the high-protein narrative is dangerous for most people
•What a safer, mostly plant-based protein balance looks like
•Why fasting on its own is a meaningless word
•How fasting-mimicking cycles may trigger the body’s repair and regeneration
•What the science does and doesn’t yet show about food and cancer
•What it takes to unlearn a belief when the evidence stops holding up

Longo’s work is an invitation to look again at the small daily choices we rarely question, and this conversation is a great place to begin.

If you don’t go deep and wrestle with the dragon that scares you.

If you don’t go and dig into the corners you’re trying to keep the light out of.

If you don’t go and examine some of the hurts you’re carrying forward, then you’re always gonna be protecting those hurts.

That is the golden shackle that we can all feel.

What dragon are you avoiding? 👇🏼

There’s only three things as humans we can train. 

We can train our craft, we can train our body, our physical carriage, and we can train our mind.

The best of the best are not leaving the training of the mind up to chance. 

Training of the mind is not being intellectually stimulated. 

Training of the mind is like the tools to be focused, the tools that you practice to be confident.

Confidence is a skill. Being calm is a skill. 

It would be a mistake to think that if you don’t prepare yourself with the training of those skills that you would just magically happen.

What has been the cost to women of relying on research that was never designed around female physiology?

Comment “EXERCISE” and we’ll send you the latest of Finding Mastery wth Dr. Stacy Sims, exercise physiologist, nutrition scientist, and bestselling author of ROAR and Next Level.

In this episode, you’ll learn:
- Why so much health research was never actually done on women
- What “women are not small men” means for how you train and eat
- Why the research gap is widest between ages thirty and fifty
- How hormone-driven anxiety gets misread as stress
- Why “eat less, train more” often backfires through midlife
- Why fasting through the morning can dysregulate hormones
- Why men belong in this conversation, and how to show up for the women in their lives
- Why most AI health tools still run on outdated male data

Whether this conversation is about your body or the body of someone you love, it offers a great place to start making sense of it all.

Men don’t get a “menopause.” But they do hit a cliff, it just shows up later and looks different.

“Around 40 to 60 we see a discernible effect of aging in both sexes, but it’s more pronounced in women because of significant ovarian shutdown.” says Dr.Stacy Sims.

For men it’s quieter: functionality starts slipping around 50-55, then testosterone drops and speeds the decline. 

Same decade, same body under pressure — just a different mechanism doing the damage.

Train your mind like you train your body.

There are only three things people can train: 

-Craft
-Body
-Mind 

When I ask audiences how many have formally trained their mind, very few raise their hands, but ask about craft or body and everyone knows what that means.

We don’t we invest in psychology because our parents’ generation told us psychology was for the weak.

World-class performers don’t buy that and they know when you train your body and craft, there’s pressure involved. 

You need to operate in calm, mildly stressed, and high-stress environments. That’s why they train their mind.

You can’t be great under pressure if you haven’t trained for it.

There are three basic buckets for a psychological framework.

I don’t know any world-class performers that don’t believe the future is going to work out well.

But optimism is learned—anything learned can be adjusted.

1. Optimism - Not soft. It’s at the center of mental toughness. The mental discipline to stay the course when shit is not going right.

2. Locus of control - Are you controlling what’s 100% in your control? Working towards that or caught up in the noise of things you can’t control?

3. Grit - Passion and perseverance for long-term goals.

Get those three cobbled together on a consistent basis—that’s durability on the long play in life.
