Brian is the host and founder of Self Improvement Daily, a podcast that has earned over 20 million downloads in just over 6 years. He's a behavior change coach whose mission is to convert human intention into action so that people can change their life and change the world.
With over 2,000 podcast episodes, Brian emphasizes that showing up consistently is more about designing environments conducive to success rather than relying solely on willpower.
He shares insights on overcoming internal resistance and pursuing personal goals, like completing a 50K race against all odds. By using practical examples from his life, Brian illustrates how structural design, community accountability, and conscious choices shape our actions and eventual success.
The conversation also touches on the psychological aspects of self-directed neuroplasticity and the importance of consciously affecting one's mindset. Brian calls you to action, urging you to reflect on what minor changes you can implement to achieve significant results in your life.
