    Jan 9 2026
    Harvard Physicist Avi Loeb reveals why Neil deGrasse Tyson, Brian Cox & NASA gets the 3I/ATLAS alien theory wrong and exposes the “echo chamber” problem in modern science. As the head of the Galileo Project, Loeb argues we must stop listening to “commentators” and start searching for technological signatures before it’s too late.Subscribe for more conversations on the edge of science, space and aliensExpect to learn:-Why Neil deGrasse Tyson is wrong about 3I/ATLAS: The critical difference between a “practicing scientist” and a “science commentator.”-The “Soccer Player” Analogy: Why you should listen to the players on the field, not the critics in the booth.-The 3I/ATLAS Theory Explained: Evidence that this interstellar object might have been a reconnaissance probe (and why it wasn’t interested in us).-Einstein’s 3 Biggest Mistakes: Proof that even the greatest minds fail when they rely on intuition over evidence.-The $2.4 Trillion Missed Opportunity: How shifting military budgets to space exploration could have already put humans on interstellar voyages.-Microbes vs. Machines: Why we should hedge our bets with a 50/30/20 investment strategy for finding alien life.-The “Ghost Particle” Failure: How the mainstream wasted $90 million chasing a theory that didn’t exist.00:00 Neil deGrasse Tyson’s Misconception01:22 Einstein’s Major Mistakes03:26 The Humility of Science04:10 Challenges in Modern Physics08:04 Encouraging Innovation in Academia16:49 The Search for Extraterrestrial Life23:22 The Importance of Independent Thought38:50 The Importance of Technological Signatures39:41 The Limitations of Human Imagination41:38 The Unknown Unknowns in Science43:49 The Search for Extraterrestrial Life45:11 The Role of Private Space Industry48:10 The Case of 3I/ATLAS50:39 The Need for a New Approach in Astronomy54:40 The Potential of Interstellar Objects57:34 The Future of Space Exploration01:12:12 The Cost of Space Archaeology01:23:16 The Impact of Extraterrestrial Contact01:26:37 The Limitations of Viewing God as a Parent01:27:28 The Power of Optimism in Life and Relationships01:29:04 The Search for Extraterrestrial Life01:30:58 The Big Bang and the Creation of the Universe01:35:39 Mars Colonization and Space Habitats01:39:25 The Future of Space Propulsion01:46:26 The Risks and Rewards of AI01:56:42 The Importance of Youthful Curiosity01:57:30 Belief in a Higher Being and the Quest for Immortality02:02:19 Closing Thoughts and Future EndeavorsAvi Loeb’s Work:-Avi Loeb’s Medium: avi-loeb.medium.com-The Galileo Project: https://galileo.hsites.harvard.edu/-Avi’s Book “Extraterrestrial”: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Extraterrestrial-Search-Intelligent-Beyond-Earth-ebook/dp/B087N7D3YZ?ref_=ast_author_dp&th=1&psc=1Jacob’s WorkFREE Podcast Tips (2nd Channel): https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCUp5S7ZIZtjA8PMgXJMwppAPodcast blueprint (Skool): https://www.skool.com/remote-pro-podcast-blueprint-8385YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@jacobjwatsonhowlandSpotify: Apple Podcasts: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jacobwatsonhowlandX: https://x.com/jwatsonhowlandLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/watsonhowlandWebsite: https://www.jacobjwatsonhowland.comBEST QUOTES:“Brian Cox and Neil deGrasse Tyson.

    Jan 3 2026
    Behavioural genetics is destroying what we’ve been told about parenting, school “quality,” and personality. Robert Plomin explains why “parents don’t matter (in the way you think)” and why school quality can explain as little as 1% of SAT/GCSE variation after correcting for socioeconomic status.Robert Plomin, leading behavioural geneticist at King’s College London, with 50 years in psychology/genetics research (from the pre-DNA era to today’s polygenic scores)Subscribe for more long-form interviews with world-class experts (and share this with one parent or student who needs it)Expect to learn:–Why “everything is heritable” is the biggest shift in modern psychology.–What heritability actually means (and why most people misunderstand it).–How twin and adoption studies separate genes from family environment.–Why the “shared family environment” (nurture) often explains surprisingly little—so siblings can be wildly different.–The school shocker: why “great schools” may explain ~4% of GCSE variance, and ~1% after adjusting for socioeconomic sorting.–How polygenic scores work, what they can predict today (and why “20% of variance” is massive in psychology).–Why blaming parents (and attachment-as-destiny) can be emotionally convenient—but scientifically weak.–The future of DNA testing: prevention, prediction, and the ethics.00:00 Behavioral genetics: “We got it wrong for 50 years” (nature vs nurture flips)00:36 “Everything is heritable”: what psychology missed (and why DNA changed the game)01:46 The DNA revolution in behavioral genetics (from twin studies to genome sequencing)02:32 “Nurture” isn’t what you think: why shared family environment explains little07:13 Genetics and personal preferences: where you live, who you are, and free will13:35 What heritability means (and the #1 misunderstanding about the 80% figure)13:35 Twin studies vs adoption studies: why identical twins reared apart matter20:05 If it’s not family, what is it?

  • In 2025 I interviewed the co-founder of SpaceX… then went back to cleaning toilets. Here are the 5 rules that stopped me quitting and made the wins stack for you to use in 2026!

    In 2025 I interviewed the co-founder of SpaceX… then went back to cleaning toilets. Here are the 5 rules that stopped me quitting and made the wins stack for you to use in 2026!
    Dec 31 2025

    Expect to learn:

    –How to stop quitting when results are delayed (and why most people leave right before it works).

    –The “don’t stop” rule that compounds wins even on your worst weeks (uni deadlines, burnout, zero motivation).

    –How to find your vehicle (the craft/mission you’ll suffer for long enough to win) using a 60-second prompt.

    –Why effort is not the metric: the outcome-based system that made the show grow (big guests, big ideas, retention).

    –The incentive shift that changed everything: how to pitch so people actually say yes (podcast guests, mentors, collabs, clients).

    –The “baseline reset” trap: why winning can still feel like losing, and how to stop feeling behind.

    –The 85-year-old-you framework to set non-negotiables and delete distractions without losing your mind.

    –A simple 30-day reset challenge to rebuild consistency without needing motivation.

    00:00 From Cleaning Toilets to Interviewing SpaceX Co-Founder: Why This Video Exists

    00:40 Rule #1: Don’t Stop - Most People Quit Right Before It Works

    00:55 The Talking to the Void Phase: 50 Views, No Money, Still Working Weekends

    01:18 The Baseline Resets: Why Winning Still Feels Like Losing

    01:42 The 30-Day Reset: Show Up Daily Even If It’s Small

    02:09 Rule #2: Find Your Vehicle - The Craft That Compounds Your Life

    02:35 The 60-Second Vehicle Finder Questions - Answer These Honestly

    03:36 Rule #3: Outcomes Over Effort - Double Down on What Actually Works

    03:50 What Worked in 2025: Big Guests, Big Ideas, In-Person Energy

    04:10 What Didn’t Work: Busy Work That Feels Productive But Isn’t

    04:44 Rule #4: Incentives - How to Pitch So People Say Yes

    05:20 The Email Shift: Here’s What You Get vs Just Come On My Podcast

    06:45 Social Proof That Got Replies: Top 7% Spotify, BBC Photographer

    08:15 The Week I Nearly Quit: The Pause for a Week Trap

    09:10 The 2-Day Rule: One Miss Is a Mistake; Two Misses Is a New Habit

    10:49 Rule #5: The 85-Year-Old You Framework - Non-Negotiables for 2026

    11:15 What Would Make 85-Year-Old You Miserable vs What You’d Love

    11:50 My 2026 Non-Negotiables Checklist - Simple, Repeatable, Realistic

    13:04 Comment I’m Not Stopping Plus Date - 30-Day Check-In Challenge

    13:20 Next Video: Sting’s Autobiography Plus Huge 2026 Guests Coming

    13:42 Final Message: Don’t Stop, Stay in the Game

    What’s your 2026 vehicle and what’s the smallest daily action you can do so you don’t break the chain?

    Save these soundbites to succeed:

    “Most people don’t fail ‘cause they’re dumb. They fail ‘cause they leave the game right before it starts working.”

    “Effort is not the metric. Outcomes are.”

    “Nobody will notice if you stop for a week… and that is exactly where the decision would’ve killed everything.”

    “If you slip up one day, that’s a mistake. But if you slip up two days in a row, that’s the formation of a new habit.”

    “What would 85-year-old me do to make me feel miserable?”

    “The real goal is becoming one type of person: the guy who doesn’t stop.”

  • Neuroscientist: How to Break Bad Habits (Willpower Doesn’t Work!) - Dr Judson Brewer

    Neuroscientist: How to Break Bad Habits (Willpower Doesn’t Work!) - Dr Judson Brewer
    Dec 28 2025

    Dr. Judson Brewer is a psychiatrist + neuroscientist and Director of Research & Innovation at Brown University’s Mindfulness Center. Subscribe for more long-form interviews on science, self-improvement, and human behavior.

    Expect to Learn:

    Why willpower fails under stress (and why the prefrontal cortex is a fragile “control” strategy).How habits are shaped by reward learning and why awareness is the real “lever” for change.How to use mindful attention to make cravings feel less rewarding (+ the smoking example that surprises almost everyone).

    The habit loop framework: trigger → behavior → result (and why “triggers” are often the least important part).What the default mode network is, and why it’s linked to self-referential thinking and craving.How “curiosity” becomes a bigger, better offer than worry, craving, or self-judgment.A practical grounding tool for anxious moments: five-finger breathing (and why it helps bring the brain back online).How anxiety can function like a habit and what Dr. Jud’s research has found with app-based training (including major symptom reduction reported in his work).

    00:00 — How to break bad habits: start with how your brain learns (not willpower)

    00:30 — Willpower is a myth: why “just stop” fails under stress

    02:16 — Neuroscience of habit formation: reward learning, dopamine, and prediction error

    02:44 — The real key to habit change: awareness (why attention rewires behavior)

    04:22 — Real-world habit change: smoking + overeating (making cravings feel unrewarding)

    07:54 — Triggers explained: why environment matters less than the reward outcome

    15:47 — Mindfulness + the default mode network: self-focus, craving, and meditation

    25:35 — Curiosity beats cravings: the “bigger better offer” for breaking habits

    40:24 — Practical tools for anxiety + habit change (what to do in the moment)

    44:13 — Dr. Jud’s anxiety story: how mindfulness helped panic + stress symptoms

    44:28 — Empathy → evidence-based programs: turning patient needs into training systems

    46:19 — Anxiety meds reality check: why “gold standard” helps only a minority long-term

    48:35 — Building an anxiety app: using neuroscience to train skills (not dependency)

    50:04 — Can anxiety be a habit? negative reinforcement, worry loops, and action bias

    55:40 — Exercise + healthy routines: helpful… unless it becomes an avoidance habit

    01:01:49 — Social media & AI addiction: engineered attention + RLHF “sycophant” bots

    01:16:02 — Meaning, service, and curiosity: philosophical reflections to end the episode

    01:19:22 — Final links, program mention, and closing remarks

  • Your Oral Microbiome: The Key to Longevity No One Is Talking About - Dr Staci Whitman

    Your Oral Microbiome: The Key to Longevity No One Is Talking About - Dr Staci Whitman
    Dec 23 2025

    Functional dentist Dr. Staci Whitman breaks down why your mouth is actually the front of your gut, how mouth breathing and bleeding gums can trigger whole‑body inflammation, and why humans (and our pets) are the only species routinely getting dental decay, and what that says about our modern diet. She explains how signs like bad breath, constant snacking, white‑coated tongue, crumbling teeth, and poor sleep can be early red flags for blood sugar issues, autoimmune disease, gut problems, and even increased risk of dementia and cancer, long before standard tests pick them up.

    You’ll learn the 80/20 steps to become as close to cavity‑free for life as possible: how to eat and when to eat for a healthier oral microbiome, why to stop sipping all day, how mouth breathing at night wrecks both your teeth and deep sleep, and how tools like flossing, tongue scraping, nasal hygiene, and mouth tape (used safely) can transform your energy, focus, and long‑term healthspan. If you care about longevity, but have only focused on your gut, gym, or glucose, this conversation will permanently change how seriously you take your mouth.

    SpaceX VP to Blue Origin Astronaut: Meeting Elon Musk & The Early Days of SpaceX – Dr. Hans Koenigsmann
    Dec 19 2025

    What did it really feel like to be SpaceX’s 4th engineer, betting your career on Elon Musk when reusable rockets still sounded like science fiction, and how does that same person end up training to fly with Blue Origin? Dr. Hans Koenigsmann, former VP of Build & Flight Reliability at SpaceX and now a Blue Origin astronaut candidate reveals the incredible history of modern space… from someone who helped design it. He joined SpaceX in 2002 as its fourth technical employee, led reliability and anomaly investigations through over 100 Falcon 9 launches, and played a critical role in the transition from “this will never work” to the first successful booster landings and re-flown rockets

    You’ll also learn how reusable rockets are rewriting launch economics, why small startups are pushing asteroid mining, private space stations, and microgravity pharmaceuticals, and Hans’s candid predictions for Mars, nuclear propulsion, and the future of human space exploration. If you’re interested in SpaceX, Blue Origin, Elon Musk, reusable rockets, asteroid mining, or the real story behind the new space race, this conversation is for you!
