You built the life you were supposed to want. So why doesn't it feel like enough? Passion Struck is the #1 Health and Fitness podcast — and it exists to answer exactly that question. I'm John R. Miles — Navy veteran, former Fortune 50 executive, bestselling author — and I built this show because I lived the "successful but empty" version of life myself, and I wanted to find a better way. Each week, I sit down with the world's top voices in neuroscience, psychology, medicine, and elite performance — including Angela Duckworth, Susan Cain, Robert Waldinger, Daniel Amen, and Ryan Holiday — to unpack what the research tells us about purpose, connection, and resilience, and how to apply it to your own life. Fridays, I share what I'm learning directly, in solo episodes built around the same ideas. New interviews every Tuesday and Thursday. Solo episodes every Friday.Copyright 2020-2026 John R.

    Procrastination Expert: The Real Reason You Keep Getting in Your Own Way | Jon Acuff - EP 839
    2026/10/29
    What if procrastination isn't a problem with your time, but a problem with what you believe you're capable of doing?You know what you want to change. You have ideas, ambitions, and goals. Yet somehow, you keep waiting for the right moment, the perfect plan, or the confidence to begin.On this episode of Passion Struck, I sit down with Jon Acuff, bestselling author of Procrastination Proof, to explore why so many capable people get stuck between intention and action. Drawing on his work helping people overcome procrastination and build more remarkable lives, Jon explains how fear, perfectionism, comparison, and the stories we tell ourselves can quietly limit what we attempt. We also discuss why the desire to do something meaningful often creates the discipline needed to pursue it, rather than the other way around.In this conversation, you'll discover:Why procrastination isn't just a time-management problem: Jon defines it as the gap between your intentions and your actions.How fear disguises itself as preparation: Why overthinking, perfectionism, and waiting for the perfect starting point can keep you stuck.The power of giving yourself permission: How remarkable people learn to talk themselves into trying instead of talking themselves out of it.The four permissions: How to dream, plan, do, and review your way toward meaningful goals.Why identity shapes action: How beliefs such as “I'm not a writer” or “I'm not a natural leader” can become limitations we carry for decades.How comparison makes you feel behind: Why someone else's success doesn't mean your own opportunities have passed.The signs you carry through life: How messages from parents, teachers, and coworkers can shape what you believe you're allowed to achieve.Why believing you matter changes what you attempt: How small wins can restore a sense of agency and help you move beyond the soundtrack of “Why bother?”How to discover what motivates you: Why Jon recommends auditioning a goal for 15 minutes a day over seven days instead of waiting for a perfect life plan.Jon also shares the advice that helped him expand his own ambitions, why he believes we often underestimate our potential, and how to build a life that feels rich across career, finances, relationships, health, and fun.You don't need to have your entire future figured out before you begin. You need to identify the next step you're willing to take, give yourself permission to try, and learn from what happens.Check out the full show notes.

  • Harvard Psychologist: College Students Have Always Struggled. So What Has Changed? | Alexis Redding – EP 838

    Harvard Psychologist: College Students Have Always Struggled. So What Has Changed? | Alexis Redding – EP 838
    2026/10/27

    What if today's young people aren't as different from previous generations as we think?

    When Alexis Redding and her colleagues uncovered interviews with college students from the 1970s, they found familiar stories of loneliness, academic pressure, family expectations, and uncertainty about the future.

    In this episode of Passion Struck, the Harvard developmental psychologist and editor of Mental Health in College: What Research Tells Us About Supporting Students explores what has changed across generations, why belonging matters to student well-being and success, and how parents, educators, and institutions can create environments where young adults feel seen, heard, valued, and encouraged.

    Together, Miles and Redding examine the pressure to achieve, the myth of effortless perfection, the importance of student voices, and why learning to pivot may be one of the most valuable skills young adults can develop.

    In This Episode, You'll Discover
    • What archival recordings reveal about the similarities between college students across generations.
    • Why blaming “kids these days” gets in the way of meaningful solutions.
    • How belonging influences academic performance, help-seeking, persistence, and graduation.
    • Why colleges need a campus-wide culture of care—not just a crisis-response model.
    • How parents and educators can share their own failures and uncertainties to help young people feel less alone.
    • Why perfectionism and achievement pressure make it harder for students to take risks and explore.
    • How small changes in language can encourage curiosity rather than prescribe a single path.
    • Why career pivots and reinvention are normal parts of adulthood, not signs of failure.
    The Bigger Idea

    Young people don't need adults to pretend that life follows a predictable path. They need environments where they can struggle, ask for help, take risks, and learn to find their way. When students feel that they belong, they have more freedom to grow.

    Alexis Redding's work reminds us that the question isn't simply what's wrong with young people. It's what we can change about the environments surrounding them.

  • 3 Questions to Stop Letting Other People Define Your Worth | John R. Miles - EP 837

    3 Questions to Stop Letting Other People Define Your Worth | John R. Miles - EP 837
    2026/10/23
    What happens when the next achievement matters more than the one you just reached?Even after The Mattering Effect landed on the USA Today bestseller list, John caught himself immediately checking where it might rank on the NYT bestseller list. That instinct revealed how deeply conditioned even the most intentional leaders are to let external scorecards dictate internal worth.In this solo series finale, John connects the dots across three essential conversations:Dr. Nir Halevy (Stanford): How tournament theory and stacked rankings pull teams apart and breed learned helplessness.Dr. Kristin Neff (UT Austin): How the environment's scorecard moves inside your head as a ruthless inner critic—and why self-compassion provides the safe soil for true agency.Heather Monahan: What it looks like to recognize you built your own cage, stop shrinking yourself, stand tall, and know when to change your room versus change your mindset.Drawing on a timeless parable from Antoine de Saint-Exupéry’s The Little Prince, John examines our cultural obsession with "the figures" and delivers The Blueprint Check: a concrete, three-question diagnostic framework to run on your workplace, your social feeds, and your daily life.Key TakeawaysThe Scorecard Trap: Why rankings, quotas, and follower counts tell us where we stand relative to others—but not who we are.Tournament Theory at Work: How outsized rewards for top performers can fuel destructive competition, while others disengage or begin to experience what Martin Seligman called learned helplessness.Self-Esteem vs. Self-Compassion: Why constantly evaluating yourself keeps you on the achievement treadmill, while self-compassion helps you respond to setbacks with greater clarity and agency.The Worcester Academy Realization: How Heather Monahan discovered that the room hadn't changed—her perception of herself had—and why it's equally important to recognize when a genuinely toxic environment needs to change.The Three-Part Move: How to reclaim agency by changing your response, working to change the environment, or leaving a system that refuses to change.Your worth was never meant to be a number on someone else's scorecard. The goal isn't to stop measuring your progress. It's to stop confusing your performance with your value as a person.Click here for the full show notes.
