Thinking Fast and Slow: How to make better decisions and avoid hidden mind traps

Life is so busy that we get lost in the mad rush, Sam discusses unconventional ways to both alter our experience of time and get more done. We only have one life and we can't extend the physical amount of seconds we have. Instead, we look at how to increase the volume of experience we have in those seconds and ways in which we can experientially slow down time using completely natural ideas and processes for the body without any weird stuff. No meditation, no drugs, just common sense. As someone with ADHD this process has been one of the most useful ideas for self-control and productivity in a way that is enjoyable and logical. - - - Connect with Sam: Join on Youtube -  Growth Mindset Sam's newsletter on creativity - Explosive Thinking  - - - Chapters 00:00 How to slow down time 01:05 TikTok as an example of bending time 02:09 Stimulated to do new things 03:17 Making new memories 03:56 Do new stuff 05:35 Memory is like a notepad 07:30 Ride that edge like a surfer rides a wave 10:22 Reframing feelings  11:07 Public speaking example of reframing fear 12:04 Vipassana example of reframing feelings 12:55 Fasting to reframe your relationship with food and hunger 14:24 Savor those slow moments 15:28 Nir Eyal quote  16:00 Bob Dylan quote 16:08 Outro Learn more about your ad choices.

We don't stop playing because we grow old, we grow old because we stop playing. The secret to peace is found in examining our troubles. With so much stress and business in our lives, we feel like we are constantly behind. Every year we see our failures and regret our losses and need to swap our negative thoughts for a positive mindset.  Aging should not be a reason to smile less and worry more. Every year is a new adventure to enjoy and savor for what it is.   - - - Connect with Sam: Join the social podcast app - Podvine Sam's newsletter on creativity - Explosive Thinking  - - - Chapters: 00:00 - Introduction 01:10 - Why we are frustrated about aging 02:44 - Not panicking about death 05:20 - Our changing abilities 07:03 - Preventing expectations 09: 10 - Enjoying the moment Learn more about your ad choices.

Jim Mann has broken several Ultramarathon records whilst also scaling his business Undo, with the goal to remove a billion tonnes of CO2 by 2030. He is one of the most ambitious and yet grounded individuals you will ever meet. To call him understated would be understating his understatedness.   As a child, he was a very average runner but his love of challenge and ability to outwork others has led him to break some of the hardest Ultra running records such as the Spine Challenger and the 30 Munros as well as winning the infamous Dragons Back race across Wales.   He studied ecology and after running several businesses set his sights on climate. He started with reforestation building the Future Forest Company. He is replacing himself as CEO there to set his sights on the carbon removal company Undo. - - - Sponsored by LinkedIn Jobs Create a free job posting in months on the world's #1 rated recruitment site for small businesses. https://www.linkedin.com/growth Ad airs - 11:30 - - - Connect with Jim: Carbon removals - Undo Forest regeneration - Future Forest Company Chat business - Jim's Linked In Tweet - Jim's twitter - - - Connect with Sam: Join the social podcast app - Podvine Sam's newsletter on creativity - Explosive Thinking  - - - Chapters: 0:00  Pushing your potential 03:03 Building mindsets through ultramarathons  03:49 Jim's running routine / training regime 04:27 Running as therapy and inspiration for Future Forrest 05:08 Jim's company - Climate 06:33 Jim's entrepreneurial mindset 07:53 Jim's mindset when he started running - Winning was a journey  09:53 Jim's founder journey 10:52 Sam's founder journey 12:57 Example of Jim's experience where he tried pleasing everybody and took their advice  14:12 Hiring mistakes 14:12 Dyslexic and running a business 15:00 Jim's future role in 5 years 16:40 Making the same mistake twice 18:12 Mental health 21:02 Scalability of businesses 23:04 Jim's journey with Future Forest and Undo 24:23 Inspiration for the enhanced weathering idea 26:09 Problem with climate and geopolitics 28:46 The importance of being optimistic 30:36 Any dark moments in ultra marathons 32:38 Scariest thing Jim has done 34:02 Earliest memories - tomatoes  34:40 Kindest thing - little acts of kindness Learn more about your ad choices.
