In this powerful conversation, Michael Unbroken and coach Paul Levitin break down why more information is not the answer to changing your life and what actually works instead. You will learn why we stay stuck in “scrolling hell,” how corporations design food, apps, and content to keep you addicted, and why willpower and motivation always run out over the long term.
They dive into the “age of information” problem – when you can Google or AI your way to any answer about health, wealth, and relationships, yet people are more unhealthy, overwhelmed, and unhappy than ever. Paul explains his EASIER framework, why your brain always chooses the path of least resistance, and how to reduce friction so doing the right thing actually becomes the easy thing.
You will also hear Michael share candidly about being 350 pounds, battling addiction, burning out after building multiple seven figure companies, and how he learned that discipline is an act of self love, not punishment. Together they unpack infinite goals like “be healthy” or “have a great relationship,” the crucial role of timelines, and why the peace – and your power – is in the pause before you act.
