Ep 103. Neurotransmitters play a crucial role in shaping human actions and behaviors, particularly those we label as successful or skillful. Skill building inherently involves effort, and to sustain this effort, there must be a rewarding payoff that reinforces the behavior. In today’s fast-paced world, we constantly strive to elevate our behaviors to achieve peak performance, enhance outcomes, and elevate our skills from the ordinary to the extraordinary—reaching legendary heights. The concept of performance enhancement is not new; it dates back to our ancient ancestors, who utilized basic tools to improve their survival. This drive for excellence is deeply rooted in our evolutionary history, where competition for gene proliferation was key. In this discussion, we will explore how neurotransmitters influence peak performance, goal achievement, flow states, and the realization of what once seemed impossible in our contemporary landscape. Embrace the journey, dare to explore, and walk your path with purpose.

Boysober

Have you ever wondered what life might be like if you stopped worrying about being wanted, and focused on understanding what you actually want? That was the question Hope Woodard asked herself after a string of situationships inspired her to take a break from sex and dating. She went "boysober," a personal concept that sparked a global movement among women looking to prioritize themselves over men. Now, Hope is looking to expand the ways we explore our relationship to relationships. Taking a bold, unfiltered look into modern love, romance, and self-discovery, Boysober will dive into messy stories about dating, sex, love, friendship, and breaking generational patterns—all with humor, vulnerability, and a fresh perspective.
