Habits and Hustle

We all want healthier relationships, but sometimes our own habits get in the way. We overthink, hold on to things we can't control, and repeat the same patterns. So how do we break those cycles and build deeper connections?
We dive into this in Habits & Hustle with Yung Pueblo, also known as Diego Perez. We talk about why the "protect your peace" mentality might be hurting our relationships, how to stop absorbing other people's emotions, and why you don't need to be fully healed before finding love.
Yung Pueblo is a #1 New York Times bestselling author and co-founder of Wisdom Ventures, with millions of followers across social media. His latest book is Journey: The Year That Changes Everything. He shares what he learned from 60 days of silent meditation, why self-awareness is essential for healthier relationships, and how to let go of the patterns keeping us stuck.

(06:17) How your ego can get in the way of happiness and meaningful relationships.
(11:37) What 60 days of silent meditation can teach you about yourself.
(20:04) How to stop overthinking and let go of things you can't control.

Latest book: Journey: The Year That Changes Everything

Confidence, discipline, and momentum all sound like big goals, but they often come down to something much simpler: whether you actually do what you say you're going to do. Every time you follow through, you build evidence that you can trust yourself. Every time you don't, you chip away at that trust.
I dive deeper into this in today's episode of Habits & Hustle, to talk about why follow-through matters so much, how it builds confidence and credibility, and why execution will always matter more than good intentions.
I also get into why motivation is unreliable, how discipline is actually built, and why starting with one small promise to yourself can create the momentum you need to follow through on much bigger things.
What's Discussed:
(00:15) Why keeping promises to yourself builds self-trust.
(00:31) Why confidence comes from evidence, not affirmations.
(01:07) How follow-through builds credibility with other people.
(01:46) Why simply doing what you say can make you stand out professionally.
(02:48) How follow-through creates momentum and leads to better execution.
(03:25) Why ideas mean very little without execution.
(03:50) How doing what you say strengthens discipline.
(04:13) Why motivation is unreliable and commitment matters more.
(05:01) How small promises to yourself can lead to bigger wins.
(05:38) Why follow-through is the foundation for confidence, discipline, and momentum.

We all have habits we want to break, whether it's overthinking, procrastinating, emotional eating, or constantly stressing about things we can't control. But even when we know exactly what we need to change, our brains can make it incredibly difficult to follow through. So how much control do we actually have over our thoughts and behaviors?
We dive deeper into this in Habits & Hustle with Dr. David Spiegel. We talk about the science of hypnosis, how it can help people break bad habits, manage anxiety, improve sleep, and even change how they experience pain. We also get into why some people are more hypnotizable than others, the connection between overthinking and self-sabotage, and what happened when Dr. Spiegel actually tried to hypnotize me.
Dr. Spiegel is a Stanford psychiatrist, neuroscientist, and one of the world's leading experts on clinical hypnosis. He's published more than 400 scientific papers and spent decades researching how the brain influences our physical and emotional responses. He explains what actually happens in the brain during hypnosis, why our thoughts can keep us stuck in old patterns, and how techniques like self-hypnosis and breathwork can help us better manage stress, focus, and behavior.
What's Discussed:
(08:02) How hypnosis can help people quit smoking and break long-standing habits.
(14:57) How your brain can respond to imaginary meals as though you've actually eaten.
(17:02) Why your brain keeps you stuck in old habits and negative thought patterns.
(20:24) How to overcome procrastination by changing the way you approach your goals.
(22:47) Why high-performing athletes sometimes perform worse under pressure.
(35:46) Why overthinkers and highly analytical people may be harder to hypnotize.
(44:08) How to calm your racing thoughts and fall asleep more easily.
(50:32) How social support and human connection can influence longevity.
(55:33) Why people can become addicted to stress without realizing it.
(58:40) How hypnosis can change the way your brain processes pain and reality.

Wellness has become a massive business, and there's always something new promising to help us live longer, perform better, or finally optimize our health. But with more products, technology, and expensive longevity programs than ever, it's getting harder to separate what actually moves the needle from what's simply being sold to us.
I dive deeper into this in today's episode of Habits & Hustle, to talk about where wellness is headed, what we've overcomplicated, and where we think the biggest opportunities for innovation actually are.
We also get into wearables and wellness data, the rise of social fitness, why people are craving real-world community again, and how AI could make personalized health and longevity more accessible without the massive price tag.
What's Discussed:
 
(07:15) Whether we've optimized wellness to the point of insanity.
(09:48) How too much health data can create more stress than it solves.
(10:13) Why your wearable can change how you feel about your own body.
(16:40) Where wellness and longevity still need more innovation.
(20:03) Why social fitness and wellness communities are becoming more popular.
(23:22) What makes fitness communities turn into cultural movements.
(35:29) Why getting healthy shouldn't require spending thousands of dollars.
(40:00) How AI could make personalized health and longevity more accessible.
