The 1 Thing Most People Learn Too Late In Life
11/12/24 • 18 min
In this episode, I dive deep into the often-overlooked value of time and why being intentional with it is critical. Imagine waking up one day with the realisation that you’ve spent years on things that don’t truly matter to you. Let’s make sure that day never comes.
Here's what I cover:
The Cost of Wasted Time
I share personal stories about time spent on activities that added little to my life, encouraging you to reflect on where you invest your time.
Living on Your Terms
Discover how to prioritize your true passions and start saying "no" to what doesn’t serve you, inspired by the wisdom of those who’ve regretted time wasted on others’ expectations.
Avoiding the Trap of Distractions
In a world full of notifications and endless content, learn how focusing on what truly matters brings exponential returns for your health, mindset, and connections.
Creating Meaningful Moments
I highlight the importance of nurturing relationships and capturing those “magic moments” that bring fulfillment, rather than letting life pass by in the hustle.
Pursuing Passions Today
Why wait for retirement to follow your dreams? I’ll guide you on how to make time for what you love, no matter how small the steps may be.
Throughout this episode, I encourage you to become intentional with your time. Let’s build a life that’s aligned with what truly matters, for today and the years to come.

Why We’re Terrible at Decisions (And How to Fix It)
In this episode, I sit down with Dan Ariely, a renowned behavioural economist, to explore the fascinating world of human irrationality and how understanding it can transform our decision-making, motivation, and overall quality of life.
Dan shares powerful insights into the quirks of the human mind, how our outdated "mental tools" affect modern life, and what it really means to design environments that align with our natural tendencies.
In this episode, we discuss:
The concept of human irrationality and why we often make seemingly illogical choices.
How cognitive biases shape our decisions in areas like risk-taking, motivation, and financial behavior.
Why extrinsic motivators like salary aren’t as impactful as feeling valued and connected.
The surprising effects of workplace culture, bureaucracy, and psychological safety on employee engagement and productivity.
Dan’s personal journey of acceptance and resilience, including his unique experience with a “half-beard” and what it taught him about self-acceptance.
This episode is packed with thought-provoking examples and practical insights on navigating life’s complexities by understanding our own cognitive limitations.
If you're curious about leading your life with purpose by working with your mind rather than against it, this is the episode for you.
