THE ED MYLETT SHOW Podcast

Are You Thinking Your Own Thoughts Or Someone Elses?

Let me ask you somethinghave you ever stopped to wonder if the thoughts youre thinking are actuallyyours? In this conversation, I sat down with Rebecca Lemov, a Harvard professor and author ofThe Instability of Truth, and what unfolded was a real eye-opener. We didnt just scratch the surfacewe went into the guts of how we get conditioned to believe things about the world and about ourselves without even realizing it.



Rebecca laid out something that really hit me: brainwashing doesnt start with someone else taking control of your mindit begins whenyoustop asking questions. That moment when you stop challenging your beliefs, when youre scrolling, liking, agreeing without even knowing whythats where it starts. She walked me through a chilling example: a Facebook study where they manipulated nearly 700,000 users' moodswithout their knowledge. Thats real. That happened. And if that doesnt wake you up, I dont know what will.



We also got personal. I shared how traumawhether from rejection, heartbreak, or failurecan create space for a mind virus to take root. That voice in your head saying, Youre not good enough, Youll never succeed,thats not truth. Thats programming. And unless you confront it, question it, and replace it, itll trap you in a version of your life thats far smaller than what you were made for. Rebecca made it clear: being educated or intelligent doesnt make you immuneit might even make you more vulnerable.



This episode isnt about conspiracy theories or pointing fingersits aboutownership. About reclaiming your identity, your voice, your individuality. Dont go through life unknowingly living in someone elses version of who youre supposed to be. Dont meet God at the end and realize you lived someone else's life because you never questioned your own thoughts. You want to change your life? Start by challenging what youassumeto be true. Start asking better questions.



Key Takeaways:

Brainwashing often starts from withinwhen you stop questioning your own thoughts.



Trauma can open the door for limiting beliefs to become your internal truth.



Social media algorithms are designed to manipulate your mood and feed confirmation bias.



There are 8 classic signs of brainwashing, but the key one? Control over your environment.



Intelligence doesnt protect you from mind controlit can deepen the illusion.



Challenge your assumptions, and you can change your entire life trajectory.



Let this be your wake-up call. You dont have to be part of a group to have value. Youre not your past. Youre not your trauma. You're an individualand your thoughtsmatter.

Are you letting self-doubt run your life—or are you finally ready to fight back?

In this Mashup episode, I’m pulling together life-changing conversations with some of the most mentally tough, spiritually grounded, and relentlessly committed leaders I’ve ever sat down with: Stephen A. Smith, Michael Chandler, Leila Hormozi, Ryan Hawk, and of course, you're going to hear from me too. Every one of us shares a common thread—confidence wasn’t something we were born with, it was built brick by brick through the actions we took and the beliefs we rewired.

I open up about the painful origins of self-doubt, how those voices in your head? They were planted there by someone else—and they don’t belong to you. I break down the actual steps I use to build real self-confidence, the kind rooted in keeping promises to yourself, stacking small wins, and giving yourself credit where it counts—your intentions. Because if you don’t believe you deserve to win, you’ll never claim the life waiting for you.

You’ll hear Michael Chandler talk about faith over fear in the literal cage fight of life, and how preparation—not perfection—is what fuels his self-worth. Leila Hormozi shares the raw truth of managing anxiety and using fear as a compass, not a stop sign. Stephen A. Smith brings fire as he talks about owning the stage, mastering your craft, and never negotiating with your commitments. And Ryan Hawk drills into the leadership side of confidence—why your environment and the temperature of your inner circle are everything.

This episode is loaded with real talk, real tools, and real breakthroughs. There’s nothing surface level here. It’s about how to overcome the lies you’ve believed and step into the version of yourself that already exists—you just need to meet them.

What you’ll learn in this episode:

- Why self-doubt isn’t yours to carry—and how to eliminate it

- The process I use to build unshakable self-confidence

- Michael Chandler’s mindset for stepping into the cage with nothing to lose

- How fear is often a mask for your next breakthrough (Leila Hormozi)

- Why your inner circle either lifts your thermostat or cools it down (Ryan Hawk)

- Stephen A. Smith’s killer mentality: “The audience is waiting to hear from me”

This episode isn’t just about confidence—it’s a roadmap to reclaim your identity, your purpose, and your belief in what’s possible for your life. Now it’s your turn to take action.

What if the pain you're facing right now is just preparing you to meet the strongest, most fulfilled version of yourself?



In this special episode re-release, I’m reminding you of one thing: you were born to do something great with your life. Not just in big, visible ways—but in the quiet, meaningful moments that the world doesn’t always see. If you're in the middle of tough times, I want you to hear this—everything you're going through is temporary. And on the other side of that struggle? That’s where your “other self” is waiting.



In this episode, I talk straight with you about how your thoughts shape your emotions, and how your emotions shape your reality. I share a lesson from Think and Grow Rich that helped me stop quitting and start innovating when life got hard. You’ll hear what it means to change your “emotional home,” and why peace, not chaos, is the fuel for a life of joy and meaning. Plus, I break down the four ways you can show up in 20 years—and challenge you to choose the version of yourself who becomes the one that changes everything.



This isn’t just motivation—it’s a call to action. You’re not invisible. You’re not a victim. You’re the one. Take the floaties off. Jump into the deep end of your life.



Key Takeaways:

Why all pain is temporary—and how to outlast it



How to recognize and reset your emotional home



The six basic fears that keep most people stuck



Why your dreams are closer than you think



The four identities you'll choose from in life—and how to become the one



How to move from invisible to hero to servant leader





You were born for greatness. Let this episode be the reminder you needed. Now, jump in. Max out.

Are You Speaking to Their Greatness or Their Deficiencies?

This conversation challenged me in the best way—and I think it will challenge you too. I sat down with relationship coaches Jocelyn and Aaron Freeman, and we didn’t hold back. We got into the real, unfiltered truth about what makes a relationship thrive and what quietly breaks it down over time. And I’ll be honest—I learned a lot about myself in this one.

We talked about why most couples argue the same way every time, how we start talking to our partner's flaws instead of their potential, and how easy it is to stop being curious about the person we love the most. That hit me hard. Because curiosity? It’s not just a phase when you're dating—it’s a choice. When you stay curious, people become more interesting. And when you stop being interested, they stop showing you who they really are.



One of the most important takeaways: the “5 Rs” the Freemans teach—Reflect, Responsibility, Reconnect, Remind, Reconcile. It’s a practical framework that helps couples come back from conflict stronger. But what stood out even more was this mindset they kept coming back to: we’re on the same team. That phrase alone has the power to stop an argument in its tracks and realign a relationship that feels like it’s drifting apart.



This episode is packed with real tools, honest moments, and a whole lot of heart. If you’re in a relationship—new or decades deep—there’s something here for you. You’re either training your partner that this is a safe space to share… or you’re teaching them to keep it all inside. That’s the choice. And I want you to choose connection.



Key Takeaways:

The most damaging part of conflict isn't the argument—it's the lack of repair after.



Learn the 5 Rs to recover and reconnect after a disagreement.



“Speaking to your partner’s greatness” builds them up and strengthens your bond.



Curiosity is the secret to keeping relationships alive and engaging.



One person can spark change, but both have to sustain it.



You don’t have to end the relationship to end the version of it that isn’t working.





Let this episode be the spark. Listen with your partner. Talk about it. And remember—you’re on the same team.
