What does it mean to live wisely in a loud, distracted, and often reactive world?

Ryan Holiday—bestselling author and modern Stoic philosopher—returns to explore how wisdom actually works… not as a theory or a prize of age, but as a daily practice of reflection, humility, and courage.

Ryan breaks down why wisdom takes work, how Stoic philosophy applies to modern parenting and leadership, and why the ability to think deeply and act deliberately might be the rarest skill in today’s world. This conversation goes beyond ideas — it’s about living wisely when life feels anything but quiet.

You’ll learn:

• How to treat wisdom as a practice, not an identity
• Why wisdom demands both courage and humility
• The key to raising thoughtful kids in a noisy world
• How to find calm and clarity in times of distraction and division
• Why discernment is the superpower for the age of AI and misinformation

What if the real risk to our health isn’t aging itself, but becoming metabolically weak?

Dr. Gabrielle Lyon — physician, researcher, and one of the leading voices redefining how we think about health and longevity — shares why muscle sits at the center of lasting strength, energy, and vitality. In this wide-ranging conversation with Dr. Michael Gervais, she explores why health isn’t something to manage later with prescriptions, but something to build deliberately through strength and daily discipline.

Dr. Lyon’s muscle-centric approach reframes aging and performance: real longevity is not about doing less, but building the capacity to do more — with purpose, clarity, and resilience. From the science of protein and training to the psychology of sustainable health, this conversation offers a roadmap to living strong, not just long.

You’ll learn:

• Why muscle is the organ of longevity
• How to build metabolic health through training and nutrition
• The key to balancing strength, performance, and recovery
• How to approach GLP-1 drugs (like Ozempic) with nuance and caution
• Why physical strength fuels mental resilience and purpose

What changes when anxiety shows up—and you stop trying to outrun it, and start learning how to work with it?

Dan Harris—journalist, bestselling author, and host of 10% Happier—returns to Finding Mastery to explore practical ways to work with anxiety. Dan unpacks how meditation, compassionate self-talk, and exposure built his capacity after a panic attack on live TV—and why curiosity is a powerful antidote to fear.

Dan and Dr. Mike go beyond optimization into the human side: rebuilding from collapse, confronting panic (on planes, elevators, and big stages), and the daily reps that make composure more accessible. This is a grounded look at attention, identity, and training your inner life—without hacks or magical thinking.

What you’ll learn

• How to use meditation as “bicep curls for the brain”
• Why self-talk (especially in third person) regulates panic in real time
• The key to working at your edge without traumatizing yourself
• How to turn exposure into confidence and capacity
• Why curiosity beats cynicism for mental performance

At its heart, this episode is a reminder: mastery isn’t a shortcut; it’s alignment between awareness, training, and what matters most.
