Why do we hang on to our bad habits?

In this episode, Dave and Dave develop the question from the last episode (what would you stop doing if you knew you had only ten years to live?) and explore why we don't actually change. Let's face it, many of us set goals, new year resolutions and somehow we find ourselves sliding back into the older patterns of behaviour. Why is that?

Ten Years to Live??

David Algeo — Fri, 18 Dec 2020 09:00:00 +0000

In this episode, Dave Algeo poses a question to get both the Dave's thinking. What would you stop doing if you knew you had only ten years to live? This question came from the author Jim Collins on a recent appearance on the Tim Ferris Podcast. The fellas mull it over and ask you, the listener, what you would stop doing?

The Stories We Tell Ourselves

David Algeo — Thu, 17 Dec 2020 09:00:00 +0000

In this, the first official episode, the two Dave's explore the concept of the stories we tell ourselves; about ourselves, others, the world and our place in it.
