  • The Psychology of Truth In a World of Lies | Sam Harris

    The Psychology of Truth In a World of Lies | Sam Harris
    Mar 25 2026

    There's a version of honesty most of us have never tried. Not brutal honesty. Not radical honesty. Something quieter and more demanding than either: a genuine commitment to saying what is true and useful, and nothing else.

    That is where this conversation begins.

    Sam Harris, neuroscientist, philosopher, bestselling author, host of the Making Sense podcast, and creator of the Waking Up app, joins Dr. Michael Gervais for a conversation that moves across truth, consciousness, AI, religion, and the inner mechanics of the mind. What starts as a discussion about lying becomes something much larger: an examination of the hidden forces that shape what we believe, who we trust, and how free we actually are.

    Sam and Dr. Mike explore what it costs us to keep two sets of books — one for people we care about, one for everyone else. They dig into why high-performing environments depend on truth-telling, how tribalism and dogmatism reliably pull us away from reality, and what it might mean to find solid ground in an era of increasing chaos.

    And then the conversation turns inward. To thoughts, awareness, and the gap between pain and suffering. To what meditation actually is and what it can do. To the possibility that the freedom most of us are chasing doesn't require changing our circumstances at all.

    If you are trying to get more honest with yourself and the people around you, this conversation will give you a lot to work with.

    In this conversation, you'll learn:

    • Why a commitment to not lying is one of the most clarifying decisions a person can make
    • How tribalism and dogmatism corrupt our access to truth and keep us divided
    • What AI and deep fakes may actually do to our relationship with institutions and shared reality
    • The difference between pain and suffering, and why that gap matters
    • Why you are not your thoughts, and what opens up when you more fully understand that


    We’re excited for you to listen.

  • The Psychology of Limiting Beliefs | Nir Eyal

    The Psychology of Limiting Beliefs | Nir Eyal
    Mar 18 2026

    What if the biggest barrier between you and your potential isn’t talent - but a belief you’ve never questioned?

    Nir Eyal is a behavioral design expert and the bestselling author of Hooked, Indistractable, and his newest book, Beyond Belief. In this conversation with Dr. Michael Gervais, he explores a deceptively powerful idea: that beliefs operate like the hidden software of the mind, shaping what we notice, what we feel, what we attempt, and what we assume is possible.

    At the center of the conversation is a problem most of us know very intimately:

    If we already know what to do, why don’t we do it?

    Nir argues that motivation is not simply about knowing the right behavior or wanting the right outcome. Holding it all together is belief, the often invisible layer that determines whether we think change is possible, whether our effort is worth it, and whether we believe we are capable of following through.

    Nir breaks down the difference between facts, faith, and beliefs, and offers a compelling reframing: beliefs are not truths, they are tools. From there, he explores the difference between limiting beliefs and liberating beliefs, why the mind defaults toward safety and passivity, and how small acts of agency can begin to reshape what we think is available to us.

    Mike and Nir also dig into the relationship between pain and suffering, learned helplessness and hope, and the role interpretation plays in human performance. Along the way, they unpack how beliefs shape our attention, anticipation, and agency, and why changing a belief is often less about finding “the truth” and more about testing perspectives that better serve the life we want to live.

    This is a conversation about motivation, resilience, and the invisible architecture of our inner life. If you’ve ever felt stuck, frustrated that insight alone isn’t producing change, or curious about the mental filters shaping your performance, this one is for you.

  • The Psychology Of YouTube Success | Michelle Khare

    The Psychology Of YouTube Success | Michelle Khare
    Mar 11 2026
    What does it look like to bet on yourself, embrace reinvention, and build a YouTube channel that reaches millions?Michelle Khare is the creator and host of Challenge Accepted, the award-winning YouTube series where sherains with elite performers, athletes, and professionals to take on some of the world’s toughest stunts and professions. But this conversation goes far beyond spectacle. It’s about the psychology underneath the performance: how Michelle prepares for high-pressure environments, how she thinks about failure, and how she’s built a serious creative business without losing the joy at the center of it. In this conversation, Michelle shares how her path began at the intersection of two demanding worlds: working as a video producer by day while competing as a professional cyclist at night. Out of that tension, she created something new — a format that blends physical challenge, storytelling, and deep iteration. She talks about the early trial-and-error phase of building her channel, the importance of owning her own IP, and why many creators don’t realize they’ve already become entrepreneurs. Michelle also opens up about what it means to fail in public. She explains why growth often depends on being willing to look unpolished in front of other people, how she identifies her “strategic advantages” in unfamiliar environments, and why the low points — not just the polished outcomes — are what actually make a story worth telling. Along the way, she offers a compelling look at how she built a YouTube channel with over 5.4 million loyal subscribers. In this conversation, we explore:Why courage becomes more useful when it is systematizedHow Michelle built Challenge Accepted by blending athletics, storytelling, and businessWhy willingness to fail publicly can become a competitive advantageHow to identify your “strategic advantages” in unfamiliar environmentsWhy relationships, feedback, and team culture are essential to longevityHow to elevate the YouTube creator space into a respected part of the entertainment industryThis is a conversation about courage, yes, but also about design. How do you build a life where courage is not occasional, but trainable? How do you stay ambitious without burning out? And how you can keep evolving while staying grounded in the people and principles that matter most.__________________________________Links & ResourcesSubscribe to our Youtube Channel for more conversations at the intersection of high performance, leadership, and wellbeing: https://www.youtube.com/c/FindingMasteryGet exclusive discounts and support our amazing sponsors!

Calmness that Drives Greatness

I listen to this podcast every week. The insight and stories are really helpful and I look forward to every weekly episode. Thst said, I didn't give it five stars across the board Because the advertisements are excessive. Every episode is interrupted three or four times with a couple of minutes of ads and it gets really annoying. I understand that the podcast needs to be monetized, but I just wish the ads were scaled back a little bit.

One of my go-to podcasts
