Super Awesome You - Achieve Your Goals
This podcast is about helping you to believe in you. (Because wonderful things start to happen once you start to believe in yourself!)
My name is Sam, and running/fitness/entrepreneurship have taught me a lot of things -- how motivation is not a permanent state, how difficult it is to get yourself out of bed and move, and how our brains do their best to keep us comfortable and limited in our action (they have good intentions but often miss the mark).
Each week we'll dive into a lesson learned from running, and sometimes cover a song I'm currently listening to help me get out there and move. Some weeks will have a guest runner on the show talking about their path and what helps them when things are tough.
I hold a degree in Neurobiology and have been obsessed with motivation, goals and psychology for nearly a decade now. I am a former spin instructor, a current runner & marathoner, an entrepreneur, and podcaster. It's great to meet you!
This show was formerly and temporarily called Super Awesome Runner! If you hear that in the intro, that's why :)

The psychology of gatekeeping: why I think it happens, and what to do about it
Gatekeeping is a topic that seems to come up a lot on Runners Threads! I wanted to dive into some of the sociology / psychology and science behind it, and some quick tips on how to deal with it.
You can find the song of the week on the weekly playlist here on Spotify:
