    Ep. 265: 3 sets of 10, Strategic Variation, and Programming Mistakes
    Max and I were definitely in a mood when we recorded this episode of the podcast. When we started spitballing topics before the show, we couldn't come up with much. Unsurprisingly, this turned out to be one of the best episodes yet.  

    Listen in as we discuss Coaches College, 3 sets of 10, principles of programming, the biggest mistakes we've made, and so much more. 

    Enjoy.

    Ep. 262: Revolutionizing Cognitive Therapy | David Burns, M.D.
    This was the most meaningful podcast that I've recorded to date, as I was joined by the legend Dr. David Burns.  

    David is a psychiatrist and author known for his contributions to cognitive behavioral therapy. His book "Feeling Good: The New Mood Therapy" explores the philosophical underpinnings of how our thoughts influence our emotions and behaviors. As a professor emeritus at Stanford University, Burns continues to examine the intersection of psychology and philosophy, particularly in how individuals can rationally approach and overcome psychological challenges. His books have transformed millions of lives, while his "Feeling Good Podcast" reaches countless listeners worldwide.

    In this episode, we discuss the underpinnings of TEAM-CBT, how David is incorporating this model into an app (Feeling Great), and we role play a therapy session.

    Enjoy.
