This episode is a MUST listen. 

If you feel stuck right now - whether it’s with your health, your job, your habits, your relationships - this conversation is for you. 

Today, you’re getting a new framework that helps you create an instant shift, and it comes from one of Mel’s favorite thinkers on the planet: Mark Rober. 

Mark is a NASA engineer who turned his love of science and education into the #1 science education platform in the world, with 72 million YouTube subscribers. 

And here’s here to teach you a completely different way to approach goals, confidence, and happiness: 

Treat your entire life like an experiment. 

Mark has spent his life turning failure into data, setbacks into experiments, and high-pressure work into play. 

He has synthesized every single thing he has learned into a few simple tools and strategies that he is teaching you today. 

His personal framework, rooted in engineering, will help you achieve your goals, improve your habits, be happier, make better decisions, have more fun, and become more confident. 

This is about thinking like an engineer, not to build rockets, but to build a better life. 

You’ll learn: 

-How to make your goals more fun so you stick with them 

-What the Super Mario Effect is and how it will change how you think about “failure” forever  

-A stress-free way to choose your next step when the future feels blurry 

You’ll also learn the lessons behind some of his wildest experiments, his simple method for beating overwhelm and uncertainty, and a specific message for teachers. 

If you’re tired of overthinking, afraid to make a move, or bored with your own excuses, this episode is a masterclass in engineering your way forward and turning failure into fuel.
