Welcome to a short-form Special Edition of The Corporate Couch! Today, my co-host is Shawn Kinkade (linkedin.com/in/shawnkinkade). We break down James Clear’s Atomic Habits. Spoiler alert: this book is life-changing—but also responsible for Shawn flossing regularly and me questioning my peanut M&M consumption.
We dive into Clear’s genius strategies, like:
- Turning "just go to the gym" into an actual life hack (but maybe not living there).
- Habit stacking: floss after brushing, not after binging peanut M&Ms.
- Becoming the kind of person who does things—like yoga, writing, or saying no to that second dessert.
- Why "Don’t break the chain" is your new mantra, unless it’s linked to your Netflix binge.
It’s not rocket science, but it might just change your life—or at least your morning routine. We also explore how setting up systems over goals can help you crush them at work and at home.
📚 Bonus: Email me at jeffpelaccio@gmail.com for a free 7-page summary of Atomic Habits!
🎧 Tune in for laughs, insights, and actionable tips—and maybe walk away ready to ditch those M&Ms (or at least hide them better).
