Habit Formation: A Scientific Approach

In this episode of The One Percent, Chris and Kiley take a fresh approach to habit formation—by breaking it down through the lens of the scientific method. They kick things off with a "What's Hot and What's Not" segment on manifestation and whether it holds up under scrutiny. Then, they explore how applying a systematic, experimental mindset can help you build and refine habits that actually stick. Kiley shares a personal example of using the scientific method to tweak a daily routine, and together they unpack why this logical process is such a powerful tool for long-term change. They wrap up the episode by talking about the deep connection between habit-building, discipline, and future success. Your 1% Challenge this week?
