In this episode, you’ll learn:
🥊 Why flyweights (like Phumi Nkuta) throw 2 to 4x more punches than heavyweights—and what that teaches us about high-performance energy
🧠 How long-term potentiation helps your brain build identity through small, repeated actions
💥 Why movement aligned with your values is medicine for your mindset, your body, and your soul
🔁 How “shrinking the scope and increasing the reps” beats waiting for perfect timing
✨ What neuroscience, sports psychology, and your own internal compass say about how to lead your life from the inside out
Shrink the scope, increase the reps. Small daily moves beat big, rare efforts.
Name your movement’s goal. Tie your action to meaning: clarity, strength, purpose, etc.
Trust the repetition. Your brain is learning from what you do—so do what you want to become.
