  • Dealing with Feelings w/ Dr. Marc Brackett

    Dealing with Feelings w/ Dr. Marc Brackett
    Aug 28 2025

    This week, Scott sits down with Dr. Marc Brackett, founding director of the Yale Center for Emotional Intelligence and author of Dealing with Feelings: Use Your Emotions to Create the Life You Want. Together, they explore why so many of us struggle to manage our emotions and what we can do about it. Dr. Brackett explains the importance of co-regulation, self-compassion, and learning to work with our feelings rather than against them. As he reminds us, nearly every experience in our lives—good or bad—is shaped by how we respond emotionally. This conversation is full of practical wisdom and science-backed tools to help you better understand your inner world and harness the power of emotions for growth, resilience, and joy.

  • Rethinking Time and the Myth of Urgency w/ Chris Guillebeau

    Rethinking Time and the Myth of Urgency w/ Chris Guillebeau
    Aug 14 2025

    This week Scott speaks with author, entrepreneur, and world traveler Chris Guillebeau, best known for The Art of Non-Conformity and his latest book, Time Anxiety: The Illusion of Urgency and a Better Way to Live.

    Chris unpacks the concept of time anxiety—the persistent feeling that we’re running out of time—and explains why it’s different from FOMO or ADHD. Together, he and Scott explore how cultural pressures toward constant efficiency can leave us feeling perpetually behind, and how to redefine “enough” in our own lives.

    This conversation offers fresh perspectives on slowing down, finding meaning, and reclaiming your relationship with time. Whether you’re chasing big dreams or simply trying to savor the present, this episode will help you rethink how you spend your most precious resource.

Covers wide range of topics within the realm of psychology, everything from mainstream to obscure. I've been following Scott for a while on Spotify, and by now I feel that weird effect where he seems like an old friend, haha! Scott seems to me like an intelligent and compassionate person, and I listen to his podcast when I need a pick-me-up in this bizarre world. The psychological perspective of the podcast is largely humanistic, in the vein of Maslow and Carl Rogers.
Scott is curious, empathetic, and probing as an interviewer/host. Also recommended for anyone with a "divergent" mind of any sort... Scott had to contend with the low expectations and barriers set upon him due to his childhood learning disability. As such, he's a big advocate for (and model of) the potential of neurodivergent minds.

For anyone with an interest in psychology
