Ep. #1009: Pat Flynn on Exploring and Expanding Our Worldviews

Listen on Apple Podcasts | Listen on Spotify | Listen on YouTube

Whether you realize it or not, you’re operating according to a worldview. Your thoughts, emotions, and behaviors are all influenced by how you make sense of the world, and so, that worldview determines your quality of life. If that concept sounds interesting, and if you enjoyed my previous philosophical conversations with my friend Pat Flynn, you’re going to enjoy this podcast. 

Pat is a repeat guest not only because I find our discussions entertaining, but I’ve gotten great feedback from listeners who like hearing about these deeper, philosophical topics we wade through. Plus, I believe examining these “big” questions can help us live a better life.

Not only is Pat a fitness guru with an expertise in kettlebells, but he’s an author, philosopher, and host of multiple podcasters. Specifically, his Philosophy For the People podcast aims to breakdown difficult ideas and make them more accessible, so he’s the perfect guest to discuss these health-adjacent topics.

In our discussion, we talk about . . .

  • What a worldview is and why it matters
  • The fallacy of Bulverism
  • Personal responsibility and how much can you change your worldview
  • The problem of evil and whether suffering is necessary
  • How to make sense of scenarios involving “dueling experts”
  • And a lot more . . .

So, if you’ve never thought much about your worldview, want to learn more about what it is and why it matters, or if any of this just makes you curious, listen to this podcast!

The Case for Floundering and Quitting

Comparing yourself to other fitness folk is a sure way to feel lousy.  There’s always someone who looks better, lifts more weight, and has more of whatever you want. The deck is stacked. You can’t win. So turn your gaze inward instead, looking only at who you were, are, and hope to become. Everyone wants to tell you what to do, too–what to eat, what not to eat, what burns fat, what doesn’t, what’s evidence-based, what isn’t. But ultimately, whatever works for you is valid. Your fitness is yours. To explore. To evolve. To enjoy.  So don’t let anybody railroad you into a lifestyle that doesn’t serve you. And don’t be afraid to allow that lifestyle to evolve in step with your goals and priorities. You know your needs. Trust yourself. You don’t have to get it right the first time, either. Or the second. You have as many chances to lose fat and build muscle as you’d like.  And guess what?  It’s okay to flounder, too. Some days, you’ll try to weigh anchor, but the wi...
