Jiu-Jitsu meets Theoretical Psychology. Brothers with blue belts. One, thirty-something and dad-to-be, wants to win the World Master Jiu-Jitsu Championship. The other, philosopher and doctor-to-be, wants to put in motion a cognitive science based behaviour change concept he has been developing called Ecobehavioural Design (EBD). Can they help each other and the listener to bring the best out of themselves whilst on the journey...? Contact @ecobehaviouraldesigns on Instagram

What are we doing here, why are we here, why are you here, who are you? The boys outline how they intend on trying to win the World Master Jiu-Jitsu Championship using Ecobehavioural Design as one of the tools to do so.

We'll give you plenty of praise! The boys talk about the benefits they have found in attending a movement studio and go through the main parts of the Ecobehavioural Design intake session, as well as detailing how one of the winners of last year's World Master Jiu-Jitsu Championship went about business.

Oh, hi Mark. The boys talk about trophic and behavioural cascades, keystones, constraints and how they relate to the Ecobehavioural Design concept. A plan is developing on how to approach the World Master Jiu-Jitsu Championship coupled with a flowchart to boot. No guest appearance by Tommy Wiseau unfortunately.

Paying it forward with this episode (or not?). The boys finish off the Ecobehavioural Design intake session, as well as talking about key performance indicators, cornerstones, constraints, game planning and how not to multitask. Poor morning hygiene also gets a mention.

If it doesn't feel like it's not worth doing, then it's not worth doing...or is it. The boys talk about habit, revisit some key performance indicators taking a different tact, then roll out the Ecobehavioural Design. Hat tip to Aristotle for sowing the seeds of this episode way back when.

"2020 is the year". Repeat it three times and it might be...in some respect. The boys discuss old man competing, new year rituals, seed habits, sense-making frames, and affirmations. Shout outs to "everyone" for helping make this one happen.

The best there is, the best there was, and the best there never will be. The boys chat about the book "Range" by David Epstein which offers an alternative to the 10,000-hour rule, some game planning and a bit of an update on how the Ecobehavioural Design (EBD) is working so far. Special mention to Keith "Malik" Mayberry and Lamar "Hula" Mahone for inspiring us to document our brotherly love in audio form with this one.

Alright, alright, alright. The boys talk about frames, upward spirals, wrecking balls, accountability, new changes in training and some online resources they have found beneficial in supplementing their Jiu-Jitsu development. Fortunately, they manage to keep their shirts on for the whole show.

Lock, stock and own the suit. The boys talk tweaks to the Ecobehavioural Design amidst conversation on outsider techniques, two-day rule fragility, the "Growing a Yogi" side project, behavioural distillation, identification, being curious around resistance, a little nod to stoicism, and leaving logistics until later. Zoomy McGlitcherson popped his head in a bit more often than usual this week.

Dance if you wanna dance. Baby has arrived. The boys converse on sing songs, identity change, making humans, inhabiting, dry January, rewards, reciprocal narrowing, the dip, 21-day and instant habit formation, portability, game ecology and aphantasia. Plenty of shite talk in this one but we can't help it, we're all part of the masterplan...
