Scott Lynch
Hey, my name is Scott, host of The Motivated Mind, a Spotify Top 100 Health & Fitness podcast with over 7 million downloads. I walked away from $1.7M in equity to chase my entrepreneurial dreams. Bold or stupid? Still TBD. Each week, I share practical ways to master your mindset, build better habits, and actually enjoy the process. No fluff, no guru nonsense, just philosophy, psychology, and a few jokes about dodging existential dread.

Do you ever feel like your thoughts can spiral out of control? If so, know that you are not alone. Anxious thoughts often trick us into believing a narrative of lies — ones that can keep us from living our lives to the fullest. We become so convinced by these distorted messages, even though we know deep down they're not true. Here's the truth: we all carry uncertainty on some level and it is absolutely possible to manage anxious feelings. In this episode, I discuss 5 lies anxiety tells you and how to combat them.

6 Behaviors That You Need To Forget
Many of us are the source of our own hindrance, it's just that we don't realize it yet. We all have patterns of thinking and behaviors that don’t serve us well.

But to make real changes, we need to let go of the old habits and traits that are no longer working for us and actively choose better pathways instead. In this episode, I discuss 6 behaviors that you need to forget.

The Science of Self-Awareness
Metacognition, or ‘thinking about thinking’, is the most important tool we have for understanding our own mind. It is what enables self-awareness as well as what lets us think about the minds of others. It is the ultimate human trait, and in its most rarefied forms is a power that neither other animals nor our current artificial intelligences have. Metacognition teaches us the limits of our own knowledge. Once we understand what it is and how it works, we can improve our performance and make better decisions. In this episode, I discuss my notes on ideas and concepts I found interesting from Know Thyself: The Science of Self-Awareness by neuroscientist Stephen Fleming.

Life Advice Most Fail To Take Seriously
Every life experience is unique and comes with its own set of challenges that offer us insights on how to navigate our lives a bit better each day. We don't always take advantage of this; instead, we keep on following practices that might be doing more harm than good in the long run. Even though these aren’t radical revelations – more like tasty reminders of how we should live our lives – sometimes even common knowledge needs to be reiterated in order for us to actually put it into practice. In this episode, I discuss life advice that most fail to take seriously.

Captain Sandy, a renowned superyacht captain who is best known as the star of the hit reality series Below Deck Mediterranean, has broken through the proverbial glass ceiling in order to achieve the highest status in a male-dominated industry.
