EP. 32 | Harvard neuroscientist on loneliness, connection & friendship Mighty Pursuit 2025-01-02 | Dr. Matthew Lieberman is a neuroscientist who originally trained (and taught) at Harvard. He is recognized as one of the foremost authorities in the world when it comes to social connection. He later went on to publish the bestselling book Social, which revealed that our need to connect with other people is more fundamental than even shelter or food.Currently, Lieberman runs a lab at UCLA that tackles the loneliness epidemic by running experiments that aim to turn acquaintances into friendships. The importance of this episode cannot be understated, as it’s estimated that at least 50% of the population experiences loneliness and many people don’t feel they have even one other person they can confide in. It’s been famously documented that the negative effects from loneliness are like smoking 15 cigarettes a day. So in this episode, we explore the cause of the loneliness epidemic and what we can do about it. We explore some of the fascinating discoveries in the fields of neuroscience and social psychology, and the practical outcomes for what they mean for your social life. But most of all, we get to the root of how we can develop rich and meaningful friendships.Chapters:0:00 - Intro1:20 - Loneliness is worse than smoking?7:28 - Introverts vs. extroverts14:01 - Do men need to talk about feelings?21:04 - The importance of attachment in connection28:12 - Science has revealed THIS about the brain?42:23 - Humans value complements over money?47:50 - How has the modern world affected connection?54:22 - The three buckets of friendships59:37 - Humans weren’t meant to have endless choices1:03:02 - Getting “in-sync” with another person1:13:13 - What activities promote connection with others?1:19:14 - The problem of differing belief systems1:26:56 - Why do two humans see the same thing differently?1:36:15 - What’s the maximum amount of connections we can have?1:38:41 - How to develop new connections & friends1:43:17 - Handling rejection1:46:02 - Helping & connecting with others gives us meaningFollow Matthew on social:Twitter / X: https://x.com/social_brainsBuy Social: https://shorturl.at/C01A5Mighty Pursuit Links:Website: mightypursuit.comInstagram: instagram.com/mightypursuitTikTok: tiktok.com/@mightypursuitX: https://x.com/MightyPursuitFor business inquiries: hello@mightypursuit.com

EP. 31 | UFC star Miesha Tate on success, winning & happiness Mighty Pursuit 2024-12-19 | Miesha is one of the most accomplished fighters in UFC history, and a pioneer in the women’s division. The height of her success came in 2016, when she won the Bantamweight Championship, which is the most prestigious women's MMA title in the world.But just four months later, she lost the title. And within that calendar year, she abruptly retired due to the mental exhaustion of winning and losing. Miesha’s story is a cautionary tale, because no matter what career or endeavor we’re pursuing, many of us see success as the key to our happiness. We do this without realizing that success acts like a double-edged sword. When we have an unhealthy fixation on success, it can actually lead to an emotional downfall.In this episode, we explore the tension between pursuing a goal, and then caving to the temptation to put your self-worth in your accomplishments. We unpack the unbelievable feeling that comes with winning, and the despair that comes with losing.We’ll get a behind-the-scenes look into Miesha’s highly publicized rivalry with Ronda Rousey, and how comparison and competition can often fuel an unhealthy obsession with success. Finally, we’ll explore what Miesha learned in recent years that helped her break free from this cycle. We’ll learn how to define success, and how there are actually many components that make up a truly happy and successful life.Chapters:0:00 - Intro & Trailer2:55 - Winning the championship after 10 years12:55 - The despair of losing the championship18:41 - Ronda Rousey’s su*cidal comments28:30 - What it’s like to have 15,000 people chanting your name33:32 - The suffocating pressure to succeed39:19 - Why do we put so much value in achievement?47:14 - The illusion that “more” will fix everything53:42 - Should we care about succeeding at all?1:04:27 - Dealing with competition & comparison1:10:37 - What do we give up in our pursuit of success?1:17:30 - Miesha’s spiritual experiences1:26:55 - Miesha started fighting because of trauma?1:35:58 - The abstract nature of spirituality1:50:14 - How Miesha has redefined the meaning of life2:05:03 - Miesha’s return to MMA in 20212:16:34 - Does success lead to happiness?Follow Miesha on social media:Instagram: instagram.com/mieshatateYouTube: @MieshaTateUFC Twitter / X: https://x.com/MieshaTateFair Use Disclaimer:The trailer contains limited footage of our interviewee Miesha Tate, provided for purposes of commentary, teaching, and education under the principles of fair use (Section 107 of the Copyright Act).

Deers prove God doesnt exist? - Alex OConnor Mighty Pursuit 2024-12-13 | Watch the full episode here: youtu.be/fXBGvNc2mvUThis clip is from a recent debate between Alex O'Connor and Dr. Francis Collins on God's existence. Alex O’Connor is an Oxford philosopher and self-proclaimed atheist, who has described himself as 'violently agnostic' about the existence of God. He’s gained substantial recognition in the academic world and beyond, recently crossing a million YouTube subscribers. On the other side, we have Dr. Francis Collins—one of the most decorated scientists of our time. From 1993 to 2003, he led the Human Genome Project, the monumental effort to map all human genes.Dr. Collins is perhaps the most notable scientist to transition from atheism to belief in God, famously chronicling his journey in the New York Times bestseller, The Language of God. In it, he presents compelling arguments for the existence of a higher power.In this episode, we explore the various lines of evidence for and against the existence of God. We begin by defining the concept of 'evidence' itself before delving into topics such as the fine-tuning of the universe, the moral argument, the resurrection of Jesus and the world's holy texts.“Does God Exist?” is perhaps the most important question to human existence because of its far reaching implications. What you believe about the existence of God—and by extension, who or what God might be—has the power to profoundly influence your values, and the course of your life.We found this to be a deeply stimulating discussion, and we believe it will be for you as well.

EP. 29 | Dr. Francis Collins debunks atheism Mighty Pursuit 2024-12-05 | Dr. Francis Collins is one of the most decorated scientists of all-time, and one of the smartest people around the globe. His accolades speak for themselves. From 1993 to 2003, he oversaw the Human Genome Project, an international research effort to map and understand all the genes of the human species, collectively known as the genome.Completed in 2003, this project provided a blueprint for human biology, helping scientists understand how genes influence health and disease. Many view it one of the most important scientific achievements in all of history.But Francis is not just a decorated scientist, he is also famously known for his journey from atheism to becoming a believer in God. In 2006, he released the international New York Times bestseller, The Language of God, in which he put forth all the different lines of evidence for God's existence. So in this episode, we attempt to answer some very big questions. We examine if science and religion are really at odds, why it seems like some scientists are resistant to believing in God, and if science is the only way to know if something is factually true. We take a deeper look into the concept of truth itself, and the difference between objective truth and subjective truth.Ultimately, we think that this episode will help you make sense of some really big questions, and develop a stronger foundation for your own belief system.Chapters0:00 - Intro2:30 - The Human Genome Project6:49 - Are most scientists atheists?10:38 - Why is science a great predictor of fact?15:09 - Objective truth vs. subjective truth22:28 - Developing a theory of everything25:44 - Is science the only way to find truth?30:10 - How do we know who to trust?36:23 - Science vs. scientism37:56 - Why is contemplating God important?39:48 - What convinced Francis that God exists45:39 - The harmony of science & spirituality1:00:42 - Why Francis chose Christianity over other religionsBuy The Road to Wisdom:https://shorturl.at/lFLO0Related Episodes:youtu.be/m-9o5aFAqrI?si=UDXWcue3Qcx751hEMighty Pursuit Links:Website: mightypursuit.comInstagram: instagram.com/mightypursuitTikTok: tiktok.com/@mightypursuitX: https://x.com/MightyPursuitFor business inquiries: hello@mightypursuit.com

EP. 26 | Three gay men debate sexuality Mighty Pursuit 2024-10-31 | Few things have marked our culture in recent years as much as the dialogue around sexuality. It’s clear that a percentage of the population has certainly found liberation in the gay movement. This movement was originally born out of deep pain, a reaction to the way that the gay community had been treated historically. At one time, it was dangerous to be out and gay in the United States. So there is no doubt that we’ve created a safer world for gay people to exist, at least in the West. But despite the progress that has been made, really big questions remain. Many LGBTQ+ individuals struggle to reconcile their sexuality with their spirituality due to the historical religious stigma surrounding this subject. Unfortunately, this conflict persists today, as some religious teachings have conditioned people to believe that being gay is incompatible with faith.Beyond that, there are big questions around the LGBTQ movement itself and what it truly stands for. Many people have questions about gay representation in the media, gay rights and even what it means to be gay.So the conversation you’re about to hear is informed entirely by social listening. We’ve taken all the biggest talking points from the left, the right, and the middle – everywhere across the political, religious and ideological spectrum – and fused them into one episode.Intentionally, all three panelists come from three wildly different backgrounds. Each guest has a different flavor of what they believe about sexuality, and also spirituality. Tony Morrison is one of the executives at GLAAD, the largest gay and lesbian organization in the world. Previously, he was a producer at Good Morning America, and Disney, becoming a 3x Emmy award winner. He identifies as non-religious and he also announced he has HIV a few years ago.Jonathan Merritt has been one of the most prolific writers at the Atlantic over the last 10 years, and has also written multiple books, including one earlier this year called My Guncle and Me. He identifies as a Christian, and is looking to get married.Lastly, Dr. David Bennett is a theologian (and former atheist) who spent the better part of the last five years getting his doctorate in biblical studies. He is a Christian, he identifies as gay, and has chosen to be celibate based on his biblical convictions.In this episode, we dive into their personal stories, and also ask some very hard hitting questions. On the spiritual front, we discuss why religious folks have told gay people that God hates them, and examine some of the most confusing passages in books like the Bible.On the cultural front, we discuss gay rights, the claim that gay is becoming trendy, and what it even means to be gay. We also discuss the controversy over gay representation in the media and if the wealth of content and behavior we see on social media is representative of every gay person.Finally, we unpack what it means to love through difference. We define what inclusivity means, and also the word affirming. As you’ll learn, words have tremendous power, and it’s important that we clarify terms when discussing this subject, as well as avoid triggering language.Chapters:0:00 - Trailer1:58 - Intro7:17 - Tony’s story11:13 - David’s story24:46 - Jonathan’s story33:03 - Why Tony rejected the church41:54 - Why have gay people historically been mistreated?49:33 - Is the Bible a problem for gay people?1:23:23 - On the topic of gay rights1:31:04 - Why was gay marriage such a huge deal?1:44:20 - Should we accept all viewpoints?1:50:09 - Why has sexuality become so fluid?2:02:18 - Can straight people enjoy gay sex (and vice-versa)?2:17:33 - What does the term “gay” mean?2:27:32 - Addressing behavior at pride parades2:33:09 - Disney & the “not-so-secret gay agenda”2:39:56 - Has being gay become “trendy”?2:44:32 - How do we love through difference?2:50:51 - Can you love someone and not accept a part of them?2:59:54 - Triggering language for gay peopleFollow the panel on social media:Jonathan Merritt: instagram.com/jonathan_merritt/?hl=enDavid Bennett: instagram.com/davidacbennett/?hl=enTony Morrison: instagram.com/thetonymorrison/?hl=enMighty Pursuit Links:Website: mightypursuit.comInstagram: instagram.com/mightypursuitTikTok: tiktok.com/@mightypursuitX: https://x.com/MightyPursuitFor business inquiries: hello@mightypursuit.com

In today's episode, we introduce you to the mind-blowing science of fasting, illuminating what happens in the body when we fast. Fasting has many benefits, but it also can be very challenging for many of us – particularly because of our relationship to food.Many of us wrestle with intense cravings every day, and this can leave us trapped in a cycle of shame. As you’ll learn, this is actually by design.

EP. 24 | Harvard stress expert Dr. Aditi Nerurkar on burnout & hustle culture Mighty Pursuit 2024-10-03 | Dr. Aditi Nerurkar is recognized as a global stress expert, who is a physician at Harvard and previously ran a stress management clinic in Boston.She has been featured on Good Morning America, The Big Think and the Today Show, in addition to some of the top podcasts in the world like the Mel Robbins Podcast and the Diary of a CEO. Most recently, she released The 5 Resets, a critically acclaimed book that has been very effective in helping people manage their stress response, and help them thrive even if their circumstances do not change.When it comes to our mental and spiritual health, few topics are more relevant today than stress. Hustle culture is celebrated, and a large percentage of the population is now reporting that they have symptoms of burnout. Long hours have become the norm, and we are struggling to balance all the different responsibilities that life puts on our plate.This conversation serves as a definitive guide for managing stress. What is it? How do we deal with it? When does it start to go off-course? What if we can’t change the things that are causing our stress levels to rise? As we’ll learn, stress itself is not bad. Contrary to popular belief, stress is actually needed for our survival. The key distinction to be made here is that it is the type of stress we are experiencing – chronic stress - that is maladaptive for our health.CHAPTERS:0:00 - 1:18 - Intro1:18 - 4:45 - The latest data on stress & burnout4:45 - 12:31 - Were people always this burnt out?12:31 - 19:57 - How burnout affects different countries19:57 - 23:41 - Why hustle culture is harmful23:41 - 34:45 - What if our circumstances don't change?34:45 - 38:54 - Healthy stress vs. unhealthy stress38:54 - 46:14 - The stress response in the body46:14 - 53:14 - Can stress really kill you?53:14 - 1:03:14 - What makes change possible1:03:14 - 1:10:39 - The science of habit formation1:10:39 - 1:12:56 - How exercise can offset stress1:12:56 - 1:19:21 - We need digital boundaries1:19:21 - 1:23:44 - Sleep & stress1:23:44 - 1:28:04 - Revenge bedtime procrastination1:28:04 - 1:31:06 - The spiritual side of stress & rest1:31:06 - 1:34:07 - Multi-tasking is a myth1:34:07 - 1:35:38 - ClosingBuy The Five Resets:https://shorturl.at/vLGL4Follow Dr. Aditi on social media:Instagram: instagram.com/draditinerurkarX: https://x.com/draditinerurkarMighty Pursuit Links:Website: mightypursuit.comInstagram: instagram.com/mightypursuitTikTok: tiktok.com/@mightypursuitX: https://x.com/MightyPursuitVisit our Rest Hub:mightypursuit.com/restFor business inquiries: hello@mightypursuit.com

EP. 23 | Jess Connolly on beauty standards, body positivity & body image issues Mighty Pursuit 2024-09-19 | Jess Connolly is a coach, podcaster and nine-time author, including the international bestseller Breaking Free From Body Shame. After it was released in 2021, it immediately became one of the most recommended books for body image issues. In the year that have followed, her social media presence has grown significantly and she now has over 130,000 followers on Instagram.The topic of body image is one of the most pressing issues of our day. The latest studies have revealed that over 90% of people experience dissatisfaction with their bodies, which includes both men and women. This is deeply concerning, because how we feel about our bodies, and feel inside our bodies, is a vital component to our holistic well-being.So in this episode, we wrestle through our body image issues in real-time. We discuss why body image has become such a big issue, and we get an inside look into Jess’s personal story with this issue. We talk about plastic surgery, Ozempic, eating disorders, obsessive gym routines, beauty, fashion and all the different ways we try to counteract aging.Through the course of the conversation, we learn that each one of us faces a fork in the road, in which society presents us with a few different paths to travel down. Perhaps the most popular and obvious path is to try to overcome body image issues by constantly trying to fix ourselves. To seek peace and contentment by chasing after the beauty standards of our time.Others have rebelled against this, giving rise to the body positivity movement and most recently, the body neutrality movement. So in this episode, Jess takes us on a journey and examines what happens when we travel down each of these paths. This all culminates in her presenting a compelling alternative. Undoubtedly, probably something that you haven’t heard before.We found her perspective to be balanced, nuanced, and one that has genuine staying power in our search for peace and contentment. Jess is a leader that the world needs today. Which is why we believe that after listening to this conversation, you too might gain a new perspective, and a framework that can guide you as you move forward.
