In 2025, “science tells us” isn’t just a statement - it’s a sales pitch, a power play, and a psychological Jedi mind trick all rolled into one. People don’t say it to invite a conversation - they say it to end one. Not to explore complexity, but to shut it down. Not to illuminate truth, but to wear a lab coat of credibility while peddling ideology, influence, or overpriced wellness shakes. I love this topic, so I decided to riff on it for you. Enjoy.

Dr. Özgür Bolat is a Turkish educator, author and researcher specialising in learning, motivation, parenting and human development. With an academic background that includes study at Harvard University and a doctorate in education from the University of Cambridge, he has become a prominent voice on how children and adults develop confidence, curiosity and intrinsic motivation. Among other things, in this episode we chat about his new book The Reward Trap and why rewards and praise may not always produce the best parenting outcomes. Enjoy.

Tune the-f*ck in, this is a goodie. I love chatting with people who question the status quo in their field, who challenge convention, who think outside the box and who do so with intelligence, integrity, compassion (for patients) and courage (it’s not a great way to gain popularity). Dr Matt Bernstein is a Harvard-trained psychiatrist and one of the leading voices in the emerging field of metabolic psychiatry. With more than 25 years of clinical experience, he has held senior roles at McLean Hospital and is Chief Medical Officer at Ellenhorn and CEO of Accord. His work explores how metabolism, nutrition, exercise, sleep and therapeutic ketosis can influence brain function and mental health, particularly in conditions such as depression, bipolar disorder and schizophrenia. Not surprisingly, I loved this chat.

This was one of my favourite chats this year. Two blokes throwing the vulnerability door wide open and it’s fair to say we went deep. I’m won’t say too much because I don’t want to ruin the listening experience but it’s fair to say that some of you will love it. You know when you don’t know what to expect from people and then you get pleasantly surprised? Well, this episode was one of those times. Enjoy.
