Summary
Your mindset is determined by the quality of questions you ask yourself on a daily basis. On this episode, Ben shares the list of questions he asks himself everyday with the intention to spark innovation, creativity and / or growth. When you ask better questions, you get better answers, so we urge you to carve out time to sit with and consider these questions.
Ben then discusses why most people that we follow and admire are wrong, and why that happens. More importantly, he shares what you can do to create change and a simple perspective shift that can bring you into a more sovereign and intentional place.
Next, Ben explains his frustration around muscle building and fat loss transformations and how the industry has it completely wrong. It's a broken paradigm that needs repairing, and he proposes how to help listeners better understand the key takeaways and how we can all be part of the solution.
Finally, we've been getting requests from our listeners about wanting a step-by step course on how to build muscle. We want you to know that we've heard you and will be delivering it to you shortly. This is a simple and effective course that covers all the basics of muscle building, and the most important tenants of intermediate and advanced skills, processes and habits.
If you're a coach or trainer, we have a new segment of the podcast designed specifically for you. It starts in September so be sure to subscribe so you don't miss a thing!

| 0:00.0 | Hey, everybody, welcome back to the Muscle Intelligence Podcast. As always, I'm your host, |
| 0:12.3 | Pam Pocolsky. We frame this podcast around living your greatest life in a body that you |
| 0:16.9 | absolutely love. Your mindset is a big part of that. And your mindset in my eyes is |
| 0:22.0 | determined by the quality of the questions you ask. So I'm going to tell you about the questions |
| 0:26.3 | that I ask myself every day and how that list of questions first expands out and contracts down |
| 0:31.5 | really, really small. What questions you should be asking yourself every day, which ones I do? |
| 0:35.1 | Second, I'm going to talk to you about why most people that we all follow, or often follow are actually wrong. I'll talk more about that. And the third |
| 0:44.4 | and final thing I'm going to talk about today is transformations, muscle building, fat loss, |
| 0:48.7 | whatever your objective is, and why the paradigm around that is completely wrong in this industry, why I'm frustrated by it. |
| 0:55.8 | I'm going to show you how to fix it and ultimately why it's broken more and that and so much more |
| 1:02.0 | coming up in today's podcast after a message from our sponsor. |
| 1:16.7 | Today's podcast is brought to you by real mushrooms.com, the highest quality mushrooms that exist in the world period. |
| 1:18.7 | I intentionally sought out real mushrooms to sponsor our podcast because I love the quality |
| 1:23.9 | of their products. |
| 1:24.9 | I love what the company is about. |
| 1:26.0 | I love the people behind the company. |
| 1:32.2 | And most importantly, I care about what goes into my body. After finding some really interesting facts about most of the mushrooms grown around the world, I intentionally sought |
| 1:36.7 | out the highest quality I could find the difference. Most mushrooms grown around North America |
| 1:41.4 | are grown in mycelinated grains. So that mycelium adds to the |
| 1:46.4 | weight of the mushroom. So instead of simply getting the fruiting body of the mushroom, the mushroom |
| 1:50.5 | itself, you're also getting the mycelium that it grows in. And that contributes significantly to the |
| 1:55.6 | weight because we buy these things by weight. And so if we're buying mostly grain in our mushrooms, |
