  Neuroscientist | This Is YOUR Brain During Depression | Devin Effinger | SC

  Sep 21, 202645 min

  Neuroscientist, Devin Effinger breaks down exactly what happens in the brain during depression and anxiety. Devin explains the neuroscience behind negative thought loops and rumination, why your brain treats imagined future threats the same as real danger, and how chronic stress physically reshapes the regions responsible for emotional regulation and memory. Drawing on his own experience recovering from a traumatic brain injury and decade-long drug addiction, Devin shares why "hitting rock bottom" isn't actually necessary — or even healthy — for change, and introduces RISE, a practical technique (Reflect, Interrupt, Shift, Engage) for breaking out of negative thought spirals before they spiral into full depressive or anxious episodes. Chapters; 00:00 - The Brain during Depression 06:55 - Head Injuries and CTE 15:45 - Devin's Addiction 26:44 - Phones are as addictive as Heroin 31:23 - How to snap out of Negative Thought Loops 34:23 - Rock Bottom is a lie 38:22 - Ketamine + Exposure Therapy Devin; https://www.instagram.com/deffinger/?hl=en ASG; https://www.instagram.com/asg_simple Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

  Broicism: The Fake Stoicism Ruining Self-Improvement | Jeremy Jacobson | SC

  Sep 7, 202648 min

  Jeremy Jacobson — psychology and philosophy researcher, personal trainer, and creator behind Eud.aimonic — breaks down why "momentum" might be the thing keeping you stuck, and why building habits doesn't guarantee who you'll be tomorrow. Drawing on existentialist philosophy and psychological research, Jeremy explains the real difference between Stoicism and "Broicism" — a red-pilled, manosphere distortion of Stoic philosophy that swaps virtue for status, money, and material success — why gym culture often becomes a gateway into religion and self-discipline, and how social media hijacks the brain's limbic system to farm attention. The conversation dives into empathy exhaustion from social media overexposure, why "letting go" of emotions can be dangerous advice for people who actually need to act, and how periodization — a training concept from sports — can help you navigate competing life priorities like career, relationships, and health without burning out. Jeremy also opens up about his own transformation from an unmotivated teenager to a disciplined creator and trainer, and shares the honest self-reflection process that sparked real change in his life. If you're interested in psychology, philosophy, self-improvement, Stoicism, discipline, habit change, or how social media affects mental health and behavior, this conversation offers a research-backed, no-fluff perspective you won't find in typical self-help content. Chapters; 00:00 - Who is Jeremy 00:30 - Momentum is the Wrong Approach 06:41 - People Can Change 08:59 - Gym + Religion = Happiness? 13:09 - Broicism 20:29 - How Social Media clouds your Brain 33:35 - Stop Letting Go of Stuff Jeremy; https://www.instagram.com/eud.aimonic/ https://eudaimonic.com/ ASG; https://www.instagram.com/asg_simple Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

  Cam Awesome | Manipulating Scoring, Olympic Glory and a Wild Story | SC

  Aug 17, 202648 min

  In this episode, national champion boxer and stand-up comedian Cam F. Awesome breaks down how he built a hall-of-fame amateur career—not by out-punching his opponents, but by outsmarting the system. Raised by his grandmother in Long Island, Cam grew up non-confrontational, self-described as "soft," and dealing with frequent bullying. When he walked into a boxing gym at 16, he wasn't looking to get into street fights; he just wanted to build confidence and get into shape. What he discovered instead was a loophole in amateur sports. Realizing that amateur boxing came down to raw points—and that dodging punches scored just as effectively as landing them—Cam bypassed the traditional heavy bag work and speed bags. Instead, he mastered cardio, movement, and the 10-point scoring system to out-maneuver heavyweights, out-last giants, and secure 349 career wins. Chapters; 00:00 Trailer 00:32 - Being Soft Makes Great Boxers 07:55 - He Didn’t Even Like Boxing 09:52 - The 2008 Olympics 18:21 - How Cam Failed A Drug Test 27:40 - The 2012 Olympics and The Name Change 30:55 - The 2016 Olympics 38:07 - Did Cam Miss Boxing After Retirement? 39:48 - Is Cam Succesful? 45:14 - Advice For Those Feeling Lost Cam; https://www.camfawesome.com Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
