Show notes

Welcome aboard the transformation journey that starts with just 2% of your day – a mere 30 minutes devoted to self-development.

I'm your host, Dai Manuel, and I have quite a tale to tell.

From tackling obesity as a teen and combating alcoholism in my 30s to managing a chronic autoimmune condition, I've been on the frontline of life's battles. The turning point was when I decided to devote 2% of my day to health, happiness, and personal growth. This seemingly tiny commitment initiated a ripple effect of significant life transformations.

As we traverse this journey, we'll dissect the science behind small, consistent actions and understand their transformative power.

We'll shed light on the neuroscience of change, the mindset needed for sustainable impact, and how to make these pockets of time non-negotiable in your routine.

Expect fiery discussions, practical strategies, engaging guests, and answers to all your burning questions. If you've ever felt overwhelmed by the enormity of change or yearned for a healthier, happier, and more confident life, this podcast is a treasure trove of insights waiting for you!
