In today’s episode, we dive into something unexpectedly powerful: how a simple, honest video about positivity received 968 positive comments across 4 platforms and just A SINGLE negative comment, and what this reveals about human connection, the social media algorithm, and your brain’s built-in negativity bias. This episode is both personal and deeply science-based. You’ll hear why authentic honesty repels trolls, why your attention shapes your reality, and how you can actively train your feed (and your brain) to give you more of what actually serves you.

📹 There’s also a full video version of this episode, where you’ll see the original positivity reel and the comment section that sparked this whole conversation.

You can watch it here:

In this episode you'll learn:

  • What humans seem to crave more than spectacle (deep down)
  • How you can literally rewire your "algorithm" (this goes way deeper than you may expect)
  • The neuroscience behind “look where you want to go”
  • Why your brain remembers the negative more
  • How to override negativity with conscious practice
  • How this applies both to social media and to mountain biking (especially line choice!)
  • Why positivity is not denial, but deliberate neuroplasticity

And as always — thank you to my lovely patrons for making this podcast possible. If you want to support it too, You’ll find the link here: Ride & Inspire PATREON CHANNEL
