E

Why is it that the stories that change our lives rarely begin with certainty, but with curiosity and risk?Marc sits down with author, ghostwriter, and screenwriter Platte Clark to explore why storytelling isn’t just an art form—it’s a survival tool.

What if grief isn’t something you heal from…but something that teaches you how to love differently?Marc sits down with medium and spiritual guide Michelle Murphy to explore grief not as a problem to solve, but as an experience that reshapes identity, presence, and love itself.Michelle shares what she’s learned from over 20 years of guiding people through loss—why grief lives in the body, why time doesn’t “fix” it, and how moments of joy after loss often arrive wrapped in guilt.

E

What if the thing you spend your life trying to avoid (uncertainty) is actually the skill that determines whether you thrive or collapse?Before the success, before the book, before the impact — there was a moment where certainty disappeared, and Scott Stirrett had to decide whether to retreat… or step forward anyway.Scott shares his journey from leaving a high-certainty career at Goldman Sachs to founding Venture for Canada, raising over $80M, and supporting nearly 15,000 young people across the country. The conversation goes deeper into Scott’s lived experience with uncertainty during his OCD diagnosis, the 4:00am walk that marked his lowest point, and how learning to stop seeking certainty transformed his relationship with fear, ambition, and identity.Show Partners:Get your MENTAL FITNESS BLUEPRINT here!

Ep 416Why Self-Doubt Isn’t Your Problem — Your Odds Are (Ft Kyle Austin Young)

E

What if success isn’t personal at all — but mathematical?Kyle Austin Young reveals why so many intelligent, capable people fail to reach their goals — even when they do everything “right.” Drawing from his own experience of repeated layoffs, personal burnout, and rebuilding his life through consulting, Kyle introduces a powerful framework for rethinking success through probability rather than motivation.Kyle explains how overwhelm, survival mode, and mental clutter don’t just affect our wellbeing — they distort our ability to make good decisions. Together, Marc and Kyle explore how success diagrams, probability hacking, and intentional reflection can radically improve the odds of achieving meaningful goals — personally and professionally.This is a conversation about slowing down, reclaiming agency, and learning how to design success instead of hoping for it.Show Partners:A special thanks to our mental fitness + sweat partner Sip SaunasPersonal Socrates: Better Question, Better LifeGet in Touch:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/behindthehumanLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/marc-champagne-🧠💪-14767b17/Website: https://www.mchampagne.com/Timestamps:00:00 — The question that opens every interview: “Who are you?”03:10 — From layoffs to consulting: redefining security07:05 — The treehouse moment: why we miss what’s right in front of us11:30 — Presence, overwhelm, and the cost of survival mode15:20 — What is a success diagram?18:45 — Why motivation lies and math tells the truth23:40 — The danger of averaging probabilities28:50 — Probability hacking: reducing risk creatively34:10 — Why most advice is actually harmful39:30 — Designing goals instead of chasing validation44:00 — Mental fitness, clarity, and decision-making47:30 — Non-negotiable practices for a clear mind50:00 — What makes life meaningful now*Special props 👇Music: Clouds - Joakim KarudSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
