Dr. Jordan B. Peterson speaks with geologist, educator, energy expert, and documentary filmmaker Scott Tinker. They discuss the ARC conference, the glacial periods throughout Earth's geological history, where we are now in the cycle, the gross fallacy of the Net Zero movement, the harsh realities of energy in the developing world, and the necessary balancing we can do right now in order to uplift all people, in all places.
Dr. Scott Tinker is an American geologist, educator, energy expert, and documentary filmmaker. Tinker has appeared in more than 20 documentary films with the intent to communicate scientific ideas to the general public. The 2012 film “Switch” presents a scientifically based look at the global energy transition.

Pete Meyer: Navigating the Highs & Lows of Entrepreneurship
Pete Meyer is a seasoned entrepreneur with a rich journey in the business world, and in our conversation, we explored the multifaceted nature of entrepreneurship. Meyer, with his vast experience, shared insights on how to transform ideas into profitable ventures, emphasizing the importance of adaptation and resilience. He cleverly compares entrepreneurship to baseball: "if you are right three out of ten times, you're really good at what you do," highlighting the reality of frequent failures and the value of perseverance.
Key topics discussed include the challenges of startup growth, the art of problem-solving in business, and balancing work with personal life. Meyer's story about transitioning a cholesterol supplement into a heart-healthy program reveals a crucial lesson: "it's not as much about the idea, it's about how you can iterate that idea and turn it into reality." This pivot not only saved his business but also tripled its size, illustrating the power of market responsiveness and creative thinking.
Meyer's journey from his first corporate job to his latest venture, Healthy Fines, showcases the evolution of an entrepreneur. His approach to business planning, particularly the need for constant adaptation, resonates with many in the fast-paced business environment. His statement, "by the time we had the business plan done... the market had changed," underlines the necessity of agility in business strategy.
Listeners can also gain valuable insights into work-life balance from Meyer's personal experiences. He stresses the importance of setting boundaries for a fulfilling life, both professionally and personally. His philosophy, "if we can create a life where what we do in work makes us better at home and vice versa," offers a blueprint for achieving harmony in our hectic lives.
Moreover, Meyer's network-building strategies and his focus on nurturing long-term professional relationships are noteworthy. He advocates for the importance of taking care of those around us, be it in family, community, or business.
For entrepreneurs and aspiring business leaders, this episode is a treasure trove of real-world wisdom and practical advice. It's an inspiring tale of grit, innovation, and the relentless pursuit of success. Tune in to learn from Pete Meyer's entrepreneurial journey and gain insights that could shape your path in the business world.

#402 How To Create Healthy Habits, Think Clearly & Effortlessly Achieve Your Goals with Shane Parrish
How would you like to think with greater clarity, feel confident in your choices, and finally be capable of sticking to good habits? Today’s guest might just show you how.
Shane Parrish is the entrepreneur and wisdom seeker behind Farnham Street and The Knowledge Project podcast, where he focuses on mastering the best of what other people have figured out. He is also the author of the wonderful new book, Clear Thinking: Turning Ordinary Moments Into Extraordinary Results, in which he shares timeless insights and actionable tips, to help us all make better decisions in every aspect of our lives.
When we think about decision-making, we probably think of those big choices in life as the ones that matter: what subjects to study, which job to take, house to buy or partner to settle down with. But Shane asserts that it’s the smaller, everyday decisions that really shape our path. Choices like what to eat, how to respond to a tricky email or how to tackle a tricky conversation with your partner. And why these matter is because they become our customary, quick-fire responses – behaviours or habits, which we struggle to change because we don’t fully understand that we’re even doing them.
This doesn’t mean we have to take time to ruminate over every situation in life. Shane introduces the concept of personal rules as a powerful tool to override the ‘four defaults’ driving most human behaviour: emotions, ego, social pressure and plain inertia.
Overcoming them usually means relying on willpower. But rules – such as bedtimes, food choices, or technology limits – help us easily align decisions with our values and goals. Rules are just one of the super-useful hacks Shane shares. We discuss the difference between high-stakes decisions and quick-fire choices. He introduces the powerful notion of playing life on ‘easy mode’ to put us in the best position for success – like setting the difficulty level on a video game in your favour.
Shane also talks about the importance of separating problems from their solutions. And he advises appointing your own ‘board of directors’ – real, historical, famous or fictional people whose opinion you’d value. ‘Consulting’ them on dilemmas will give you new perspectives.
Shane’s ethos is all about finding the hidden opportunity in ordinary moments. In a world where our lives and minds feel increasingly cluttered, his advice can cut-through and help us find clarity.

395. Difficult Conversation as the Precondition to Progress | Adam Smith
Dr. Jordan B Peterson sits down with lawyer, state representative, and author Adam Smith. They discuss his new book “Lost and Broken: My Journey Back from Chronic Pain and Crippling Anxiety.” From this they explore the differences between cognitive and behavioral therapy, the dogmatization of nuance, the rise of “harm reduction” in the current era of identity politics, and the ideal goal of argument: it’s much more than just scoring points.
Congressman Adam Smith is an American lawyer and politician, having served in the Washington state senate from 1991 to 97. His new book, “Lost and Broken: My Journey Back from Chronic Pain and Crippling Anxiety,” has just recently been released.

6 Magic Words That Stop Anxiety & Overwhelm
In today’s episode, I’m sharing the “6 magic words” that I say to myself on repeat whenever I start to spiral.
I call them “magic” because they seem to have an almost spell-like effect on me when I say them out loud.
I’ve shared these 6 magic words with millions of people online, and today you’re going to learn what they are and how to use them to your advantage.
If you're a worrier, an overthinker, or struggle with anxiety, you’ll love these 6 words.
You can use them like a tool to stop yourself from worrying, obsessing, catastrophizing, and creating problems in your mind that don’t exist in the present moment.
These 6 words are rooted in behavioral science, psychology, stoicism, and even Buddhism. In fact, I’m going to share a fantastic metaphor to make this even more visual and easy to understand and apply in your life.
You will also learn:
- How to use my 6-word phrase to interrupt your worries and self-doubt.
- The question you can ask yourself to beat fear with logic.
- A beautiful Buddhist teaching that will empower you to stop torturing yourself mentally.
- A shocking study about how stressful thoughts cause you real pain.
- What “positive ideation” is and why you need to use it the next time you start to spiral.
- What the data says about your worries (my jaw was on the floor).
- Exactly how to train your brain to be more optimistic.
Bottom line: You have the power to quiet anxious thoughts and to stop the endless loop of worries that run through your head.
You just need the 6 magic words I’m about to teach you right now.

This episode is brought to you by AG1! I get asked all the time, “If you could use only one supplement, what would it be?” My answer is usually AG1, my all-in-one nutritional insurance. I recommended it in The 4-Hour Body in 2010 and did not get paid to do so. I do my best with nutrient-dense meals, of course, but AG1 further covers my bases with vitamins, minerals, and whole-food-sourced micronutrients that support gut health and the immune system.
Right now, you’ll get a 1-year supply of Vitamin D free with your first subscription purchase—a vital nutrient for a strong immune system and strong bones. Visit DrinkAG1.com/Tim to claim this special offer today and receive your 1-year supply of Vitamin D (and 5 free AG1 travel packs) with your first subscription purchase!

This episode is also brought to you by Eight Sleep! Eight Sleep’s Pod Cover is the easiest and fastest way to sleep at the perfect temperature. It pairs dynamic cooling and heating with biometric tracking to offer the most advanced (and user-friendly) solution on the market. Simply add the Pod Cover to your current mattress and start sleeping as cool as 55°F or as hot as 110°F. It also splits your bed in half, so your partner can choose a totally different temperature.

This episode is also brought to you by Momentous high-quality supplements! Momentous offers high-quality supplements and products across a broad spectrum of categories, and I’ve been testing their products for months now. I’ve been using their magnesium threonate, apigenin, and L-theanine daily, all of which have helped me improve the onset, quality, and duration of my sleep. The Momentous Sleep Pack conveniently delivers all three in one single blend. I’ve also been using Momentous creatine, and while it certainly helps physical performance, including poundage or wattage in sports, I use it primarily for mental performance (short-term memory, etc.).
Their products are third-party tested (Informed-Sport and/or NSF certified), so you can trust that what is on the label is in the bottle and nothing else. If you want to try Momentous for yourself, you can use code Tim for 20% off your one-time purchase at LiveMomentous.com/Tim. And not to worry, my non-US friends, Momentous ships internationally and has you covered.
