About this episode

Today Jake and Damian break down why your habits matter more than you think. Did you know 43% of what you do each day is habit, not conscious choice?

That means nearly half your day is lived on autopilot. So where is your autopilot taking you?


This episode breaks down:

  • Why tiny daily actions shape your entire identity
  • How Sam Tomkins, James Clear, and Jo Malone use micro habits to stay sharp
  • How to journal proof of your progress
  • The 3 questions to ask yourself before any task
  • And why folding your clothes well might just change your life


Damian and Jake dig into practical, science-backed tools you can use today to start living more intentionally—and performing at your best without burning out.


Plus: The start of Damian’s new series on Essential Habits drops Wednesdays in the feed. Make sure you’re subscribed so you don’t miss out.
