Yessss Steve-so cool to hear the articulation click! Hard for me to comprehend what you want to get out of DJing without a passion for the underlying intricacies. I can't wait to see how things change for you when you get to digging. Rooting for you!
1:13:43 yes, that's exactly it "Futsal" means "futebol de salão", in Portuguese. And he is totally right, the best footballers are those coming from futsal. I can quote from the top of my head Ronaldinho (the best I've seen)
The psychology of music in supermarkets can influence shopping habits in several ways, including: Tempo The speed of the music, measured in beats per minute (BPM), can impact how long customers shop and what they buy: Faster-paced music: Can make customers hurry through their shopping trip and buy impulsive items like candy and cookies Slower-paced music: Can make customers feel more relaxed and browse longer, leading to higher purchase levels and more healthy items like fruits and vegetables Emotional connection Music can evoke emotions or trigger nostalgia, creating a positive association with the store and its products Store atmosphere Music can give a store character and atmosphere, making customers feel more comfortable and connected to the brand Branding Music can reinforce a store's identity, differentiate it from competitors, and enhance customer recall Multi-sensory experience When combined with pleasant scents or aromas, music can create a more inviting and memorable shopping environment
17:21 I've always struggled learning through books and only ever did well with hands-on thing. Always did terrible in school simply because they only teach one way. It's so good to hear this but I wish people taught different ways.
I think that the tricky thing with child prodigies is that they are often put on fast track and forced to do big life decisions at age where they just don’t have enough experience to navigate society. They start their PhD at the age of 15, but unless they have amazing social awareness, they end up doing decent research at a good university etc. Good, but usually nothing cutting edge, like discovering completely new pathways to research, becoming billionaire or so. They go through the mold in fast version, but still put in a mold and 20 years later they don’t have any advantage compared to their peers. Plus since young age they are conditioned to comply with the system - perform great academically, please your professor and media, so they don’t have opportunity to find their own path.
1. Self-Regulation: Regular reflection on strengths and weaknesses, setting goals, monitoring progress, and evaluating results. This leads to continuous improvement. 2. Experimentation and Risk: Taking calculated risks and running experiments to push beyond comfort zones, leading to growth. 3. Avoid Distractions: Starting the day without email or notifications helps maintain focus and reduces stress. 4. Balance Between Exploration and Exploitation: Combine learning new skills with deepening existing knowledge. 5. Minimize Distractions: Limit distractions, including background music, to maximize cognitive performance.
The 10000 hour rule is a bit misinterpreted here. If I remember the book by Malcolm Gladwell. The point of the rule was that success doesn't happen over night as it may seem. By the time someone is famous or gains success they've already practiced their craft for years. The aim was never to only focus on one thing for 10 000 hours, but to understand it takes time and practice to get something to be great.
Here are **10 key takeaways** from the podcast "David Epstein: 10,000 Hours Is A Lie! The Morning Habit That’s Secretly Ruining Your Day!" along with **1 practical tool** you can use every day: 10 Key Takeaways: 1. **10,000-Hour Rule? Not So Fast**: The idea that 10,000 hours of practice makes you a master isn’t the whole story. Success depends on way more than just putting in the hours. 2. **Ditch the Morning Email**: Checking your email first thing can kill your productivity. Unfinished tasks hang around in your mind and mess with your focus. 3. **Try New Things**: Doing different activities and solving varied problems helps you grow more in the long run than sticking to one thing too early. 4. **Explore to Find Fulfillment**: People who enjoy their careers often try out different paths before finding what really clicks for them. Focus on what interests you now instead of comparing yourself to others. 5. **Keep Learning**: Don’t just aim for big, long-term goals. Keep experimenting, reflect on what’s working, and make small tweaks along the way. 6. **Mix Things Up**: Balancing trying new ideas with sticking to what works is key to staying innovative and productive. 7. **Avoid Multitasking**: Switching between tasks slows you down and ramps up your stress. Focus on one thing at a time to get the best results. 8. **Think Differently**: Teams with a mix of experiences and perspectives usually come up with better solutions. 9. **Generalize Before You Specialize**: Jumping into one specialty too soon can limit you. It’s better to try a bunch of things first and see where you really shine. 10. **Trainability Beats Talent**: When it comes to growing and succeeding, your ability to learn and adapt is more important than your starting skill level. 1 Tool for Everyday Life: **Play in Your "Zone of Optimal Push"**: Push yourself just enough that you’re challenged but not overwhelmed. Aim for a sweet spot where you’re succeeding most of the time but still failing about 15-20% of the time. This keeps you growing and learning without burning out. Try this by taking on tasks that stretch your skills a bit or by experimenting with new approaches in your daily work.

This highlights what could be a problem with many studies conducted about human psychology. I wonder how much of our understanding of human psychology is skewed by the use of undergraduates because they will do anything for $20. How would our views on the science of human accomplishment change if the samples were different?
This episode goes deep in the right productivity advices. How many of you would be happy if you have the detailed notes of the podcast so that after listening this podcast you can have and read the important stuff in 10 mins anytime you want. Let me know your response.
Im so glad this channel exists. Food for the soul for those of us who looove self improvement and introspection and its been like a theme song across my thirties, a constant through my working days
Unfortunately selfoptimization-mania can turn in somekind of modern slavery - so it really makes sense to take some brakes and try to live a bit beyond performance pressure
As a DJ and music producer the conversation at 47:00 is so funny to me because, with David’s advice, Steven hits the nail on the head pretty much immediately. There are so many lessons to be taken from constructing a track which can directly be ported to constructing a DJ set.
- Repeat learning leads to longer memory - relearning something you forgot gets it ingrained stronger in your brain than if you repeated it without forgetting it - interrupted unfinished tasks reduce performance for the whole day - switching tasks by “multitasking” causes stress - don’t waste 2 hours watching a video of someone who gets to the point v slowly - background music reduces focus on a task (more volume = more distraction). This is all common sense. - Steven doesn’t want an unknown kid to be successful at interviewing or podcasts as he wants the monopoly for himself - Steven asked questions to benefit himself mostly instead of his audience - a good way to make money is to pretend to be an expert at something that is common sense
Wow I really love this episode, also he’s so honest for acknowledging the downside to trying to “perfect” relationships and throw things away because you’re never content. Enjoy the pursuit, but learn to be grateful and happy regardless
Hi Steven, I m 12 years old and I discovered your podcasts thanks to my mom . I watch your videos every week and I m so grateful . My dream is to do my next year internship at your office . You are my source of inspiration and hope to meet you one day . Loads of love from Nice!
You keep it up and there is a path to 1billion dollars. Great early start my friend! Also stay humble and spiritual as success starts rolling in ok👍🏼⚡😎
I really wonder (and perhaps worry) how much of our lives becomes shaped off of incorrect conclusions that everyone accepts as "common sense / knowledge" such as 10,000 hours = a master. It really gives me pause on what other things are we treating as correct but we don't even realize how wrong we really are. Are we collectively shutting down differing perspectives and opinions simply because "that's how it's always been done" "everyone knows this to be true"?
17:30 the "overlapping" of skills is what has worked extremely well for me. I'm in my position in work because I did precisely that. I am a software engineer in a lead position. I'm not the best engineer in the team, and while I'm pretty decent at what I do there, it's the combination with my communication skills and empathy that made me uniquely suited for the position within the company.
Did anyone actually misunderstand the 10,000 hours concept the way this expert claims? I don't think anyone ever denied the role of natural talent in the 10,000 hours pursuit. The idea was more about reassuring people that if you invest around 10,000 hours into something, you'll likely become competent in that field-not necessarily a world-class musician. No one believed that just 10,000 hours would be enough to make them a Paganini.
Upbeat music has a different effect vs more calm music. With upbeat music, the higher the decibels the harder it is to focus whereas with calmer music there is no statistical change in focus based on volume. This may change depending on what your definition of upbeat music is
For distraction free music, video game soundtracks are designed to be less distracting than regular music. They contain fewer musical movements, no lyrics, and often understated instrumentation. They're designed to be a backing track to an experience that could last hours, so they try to avoid repeating patterns that will become annoying or attention grabbing as well.
I seriously learned so much about myself in this interview. I am a generalist who has suffered under poor managers. I now work on a contract basis and am much happier setting my own boundaries and achieving results by doing things my way.
Hey Steven, just wana thank you for the inspiration work that you are doing in this channel. Blesses me every time I watch your videos, very informative. :-). Looking to grow my channel and any advice and support you can give will be helpful. Best
Ya, I experience the point where he talks about on 58 mins in to 61 mins plus. The problem is that sometimes I'm getting frustrated with learning and a bit of music might help, but on the other hand, the music takes away both frustration and focus. Even switching on and off the music takes a little focus away and distracts me.
I think a big reason why the story of Tiger Woods is so popular (starting at 2) versus the standard story is because now the person has a “reason” why they are not achieving that level of success. Then it’s not their fault they are not achieving greatness. It’s their parents fault for not starting them sooner.
I’m not surprised toggling between tasks increases stress. I’m a stay at home mom, and trying to do anything with my three year old around can make me stressed just for the fact that I’m having to stop and start any given task every two minutes. Doesn’t matter what task it is, it makes it stressful.
At 58:56 you guys discuss the distracting effect of listening to music while working. I've heard this before, however, as someone with ADHD, I've also found that certain types of noise during certain types of tasks can help me focus. For example, when writing, I can listen to music that is wordless with an irregular tempo. I can listen to music with words and an irregular or regular tempo when designing something visual. Sometimes I need an uninterrupted driving beat to keep me focused for hours at a time, but sometimes that makes me sleepy. Sometimes I need to listen to white noise, like the sound of rain or coffee shop ambiance, for sustained focus. I've definitely also enjoyed zero music/noise at times, too. Why do different things work at different times?
Same here, depending on what I am doing, especially if it is something I do not feel like doing, listening to music helps me focus, this even includes singing along. Sometimes the brain has to multitask to task at all. haha
I may need to get diagnosed. I cant focus with dead silence unless its something urgent. I think learning sign languaage helps me regulate... what will i be like if i loose my sign language job...? I cant go back to soul crushing work anymore
Really love the pod and thank you for all the wonderful conversations you have. On the point of remembering things, this is the amazing things that good teachers do every day to support students with their learning (cognitive load theory, principles of instruction). It’s incredible to think about learning and thinking, and we often lose, or more pertinently don’t practise, these skills once out of an educational setting.
I never do commenting on videos. But I can't imagine that it has taken me 3-4 hours of watching and taking notes on this episode. Thanks to Stephen for introducing David, whose breadth of knowledge has really amazed me. My main takeaway is having self-regulatory cycle to learn from experiences and doing this explicitly using journaling.
Another benefit of music is that it's like a safety net for your attention, you still stay in your current task context even if you get unfocused. We all get pangs of inattention or boredom that trigger us to switch tabs to chat/slack/teams, or quickly look at another task or browser tab. But if that moment of inattention is captured by the music then it's not as hard to get back on task. At least in my experience.
What if for children at young age, how do we as parents know which kind of sports / hobbies are the right one for them? How long do we keep them exposing and trying out? What are the clue or hint to look out for?
Wow, you guys finally solved the microphone problem. I remember the podcast you did where you and the guest talked about problem solving and you mentioned that you and the crew never thought about solving the microphone problem. This podcast teaches me alot, and today i've learnt that having a problem solving mindset makes a difference. Nice one!
Steven, This episode was the perfect one to help your audience learn how to better understand, remember and put into practice all the gems of knowledge your guests shower us with! I’m a primary school music teacher and so my no 1 goal each day at work is to help my students learn better by helping them understand , practice, use and retain skills and information. To help myself personally, when I now listen to your podcasts, I actually slow the playback speed down to 75%, and when I hear something interesting and relevant to me, I stop the video and write it down in MY actual DIARY of a CEO notebook! I also use sticky notes all over my house to help remember the most important ideas. Because like you said, you hear something awesome but then quickly forget it a day later.
You tube has been canceling a lot of channels, i have had to use a new email to get here and subscribe..... I am not sure why the podcast is not at 50 million subscribers.... this is a gem
about listening music, I usually listen to a song in a different language or instrumental when working because it would not take a lot of my one brain cell power. if I listen to songs I have memorized, I might end up doing karaoke 😂

100% agree with 17:21

And he is totally right, the best footballers are those coming from futsal. I can quote from the top of my head Ronaldinho (the best I've seen)
Futebol = football, soccer (in US)
Salão = room, salon
Literally, soccer (football) in a room. Or, indoor soccer (football)

Faster-paced music: Can make customers hurry through their shopping trip and buy impulsive items like candy and cookies
Slower-paced music: Can make customers feel more relaxed and browse longer, leading to higher purchase levels and more healthy items like fruits and vegetables
Emotional connection
Music can evoke emotions or trigger nostalgia, creating a positive association with the store and its products
Store atmosphere
Music can give a store character and atmosphere, making customers feel more comfortable and connected to the brand
Branding
Music can reinforce a store's identity, differentiate it from competitors, and enhance customer recall
Multi-sensory experience
When combined with pleasant scents or aromas, music can create a more inviting and memorable shopping environment

I enjoyed it a lot!
I really wonder (and perhaps worry) how much of our lives becomes shaped off of incorrect conclusions that everyone accepts as "common sense / knowledge" such as 10,000 hours = a master.
It really gives me pause on what other things are we treating as correct but we don't even realize how wrong we really are.
Are we collectively shutting down differing perspectives and opinions simply because "that's how it's always been done" "everyone knows this to be true"?
can anyone mention me the part he talks about the reflect plan monitor ?
17:30 the "overlapping" of skills is what has worked extremely well for me. I'm in my position in work because I did precisely that. I am a software engineer in a lead position. I'm not the best engineer in the team, and while I'm pretty decent at what I do there, it's the combination with my communication skills and empathy that made me uniquely suited for the position within the company.
"T-Shaped" employees are super valuable, where you have a general focus, but at least 2 other skills that amplify your primary skill.
I will never forgive this man for what he did on that island!
What did he do?
Steven... Do you ever get confused by all of the conflicting information received from the various guests ?
Okay that was just wonderful, thank you !

What if for children at young age, how do we as parents know which kind of sports / hobbies are the right one for them? How long do we keep them exposing and trying out? What are the clue or hint to look out for?
Try seven chakra healing music as for me it would be the only music i could listen to in space 🙂🙏🏡🌞🍻🍀
this video opened my mind! thank you
There are so many good points and moments in this episode...Thank you!
26:20 we learn who we are in practice not in theory
Wow, you guys finally solved the microphone problem. I remember the podcast you did where you and the guest talked about problem solving and you mentioned that you and the crew never thought about solving the microphone problem. This podcast teaches me alot, and today i've learnt that having a problem solving mindset makes a difference. Nice one!
Steven, This episode was the perfect one to help your audience learn how to better understand, remember and put into practice all the gems of knowledge your guests shower us with! I’m a primary school music teacher and so my no 1 goal each day at work is to help my students learn better by helping them understand , practice, use and retain skills and information. To help myself personally, when I now listen to your podcasts, I actually slow the playback speed down to 75%, and when I hear something interesting and relevant to me, I stop the video and write it down in MY actual DIARY of a CEO notebook! I also use sticky notes all over my house to help remember the most important ideas. Because like you said, you hear something awesome but then quickly forget it a day later.
What a great advice
You tube has been canceling a lot of channels, i have had to use a new email to get here and subscribe..... I am not sure why the podcast is not at 50 million subscribers.... this is a gem
"What's something you are good at that you aren't using?"
Wow! What an excellent question to ask yourself to get to the next level.
Great interview with tons of gems and nuggets backed up by research cited. Saving this one for a replay.
It's good to know for me to change old beliefs by watching your show
There’s something about you Steven that I’ve noticed; you almost always find that you have to explain yourself when you ask a question.
Well done lad. ❤
about listening music, I usually listen to a song in a different language or instrumental when working because it would not take a lot of my one brain cell power. if I listen to songs I have memorized, I might end up doing karaoke 😂
They sure took that email clip way put of context lol
Knowledge supports growth.
Is this just me or recently there are bots recommending these random books and other bots getting that comment to the top?

What a nice guy
I feel extremely productive just listening to this guy speak
Wow. This is one I need to rewatched over and over. This was soooo dense with insights and Golden info nuggets. Never heard of David Epstein before but am a huge fan now.
