In this episode, Kirsten Alexander unpacks the complex nature of narcissism, distinguishing it from mere arrogance, explaining how it develops, and revealing its impact on relationships and society. Whether you're questioning a loved one's behavior or seeking to understand your own tendencies, this discussion offers clarity backed by psychological insights.Key Takeaways:Narcissism involves a paradox: feeling like nothing yet believing you're the best, creating a persistent cognitive dissonance.Most narcissists lack a traditional conscience, as they don't develop the internal moral compass that guides most of us.The development into a narcissist is a mix of innate tendencies and environmental influences, but no one is predestined; nurture can shape tendencies.Narcissists often display intense entitlement and are master manipulators due to a fragile sense of self.Gaslighting is a common tool used by narcissists to chip away at their victim's sense of reality, causing internal chaos and self-doubt.Empaths are especially vulnerable to narcissists because of their trusting, loving nature, making them prime targets for manipulation.Healing from narcissistic abuse requires recognition, self-trust, and often a strategic approach like the gray rock method to regain control.Narcissists cannot truly love selflessly; their "love" is conditional on how well their needs are met.Timestamps:00:00 - Defining narcissism: paradoxical feelings and cognitive dissonance 03:30 - The nurture vs. nature debate in narcissism development 05:15 - Entitlement and manipulation as core narcissistic traits 06:45 - The role of dissonance and gaslighting in narcissistic abuse 08:10 - Gaslighting explained: from theatre to psychological tool 10:03 - How gaslighting causes self-doubt and reliance on external validation 12:43 - Are empaths drawn to narcissists?

Introducing Prof Susan Goldstein, a public health specialist, health economist, and Division Director of PRICELESS SA at Wits University. Susan’s work sits at the intersection of health, economics, and policy — helping South Africa make smarter, fairer decisions about which health interventions truly save lives, reduce inequality, and offer the greatest long-term impact.The conversation explores how industries strategically target young consumers and why early habits are so strongly influenced by marketing design. Susan breaks down health economics in simple, everyday terms, explaining how the field evaluates the cost of prevention versus the cost of cure — and why governments often delay investing in preventive measures even when the numbers clearly support it.They dive into the political claims around employment and how corporations use job-loss narratives to resist health regulations. Susan also unpacks the sophisticated tactics these companies use to maintain influence, from bundling products to shaping public perception through contradictory marketing that promotes both unhealthy products and wellness messaging.The discussion moves into behavioural science — how governments can “nudge” the public toward better choices, and why some interventions fail despite good intentions. Susan talks through the potential of clearer front-of-pack “robot labelling” systems, the impact of sugar-tax research, and the challenges of driving prevention in a system that rewards short-term wins.Towards the end, the conversation becomes more personal, as Susan reflects on the motivations that guide her work, the moments that have shaped her perspective, and what meaningful progress looks like in a health system battling inequality. She shares honest insights about the tension between ethics, evidence, and policy — and what she would change first if given the chance.This episode offers a powerful blend of economics, ethics, and real-world public-health strategy — with practical lessons for anyone interested in how healthier societies are built.You can find more about Sue and Priceless SA below:PRICELESS SA(5) Sue Goldstein | LinkedInChapters:(00:00) Intro (03:30) Targeting Young Consumers (07:30) What is Health Economics? (10:00) The Cost of Preventing vs Cure (14:00) The Employment Debate (16:45) Corporate Tactics (20:00) Why is Prevention not prioritised? (26:00) What doesn’t work? (31:00) How do we nudge the public in the right direction? (41:15) The bundling of products (44:20) The Contradictions of Marketing (47:00) The Robot Labelling System (50:30) Self Reflection on Motivation (53:30) Research on Sugar Tax (56:00) What Would Sue Do? If you enjoyed the episode, please share it. Much love, Clint

In this episode, I sit down with Zanele Njapha, widely known as The UnLearning Lady, to explore the art of letting go — of habits, beliefs, and assumptions that no longer serve us. We unpack why unlearning is often harder than learning, how leaders can support change without forcing it, and what it truly takes to evolve as individuals and teams.From reframing failure to monitoring your default thoughts, this is a conversation that challenges the stories we tell ourselves — and reminds us that growth begins where certainty ends.🧭 Topics CoveredThe power of changing our minds without guiltHow to observe and reframe default thoughtsWhy failure can be feedback, not finalThe courage it takes to let go before moving forwardHow leaders can support change instead of enforcing itThe difference between individual and collective unlearningMisconceptions that hold people back from true growthZanele’s hard truths and personal lessons in unlearningChapters:(00:00) Intro (05:00) The Importance of Changing Your Mind(07:00) Monitoring Our Default Thoughts(09:30) Reframing Failure(13:00) Why Do We Revert to Default?(19:00) The Importance of Noticing(24:30) Mental Wellness Practices(29:00) Begin With the End in Mind(36:00) Unlearning in Group vs Individual(42:00) Misconceptions of Unlearning(45:30) Zanele’s Hard Truths to Unlearn(54:45) What Would You Wish For?Check out Zanele below:(3) Zanele Njapha | LinkedInInstagramUnlocking Potential, Inspiring Change🎧 Listen NowAvailable on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, and YouTube.

Have you ever felt worse after scrolling through social media — even when nothing in your life actually changed?In this episode of The Xpect Performance Podcast, I unpack one of the biggest modern happiness traps: comparison.From the biology behind why we compare, to how social media distorts our self-worth, this episode explores how to stop measuring your life by someone else’s ruler — and start building your own definition of success.You’ll hear timeless insights from psychology, stories from rock legends Dave Mustaine and Pete Best, and practical tools to shift from comparison to contentment. Because happiness doesn’t come from being the best — it comes from becoming better.Key TakeawaysComparison is hardwired, but it’s up to you where to direct it.Social media amplifies insecurity by showing curated realities.True success is internal — not measured by likes, followers, or wealth.Happiness grows when you focus on trajectory, not results.Compare yourself to who you were yesterday — not to who someone else is today.Resources:https://open.spotify.com/episode/0oxcpQG9nTwaAxXOMCfYrG?si=q_gkx8VxThONocuyJluF5gPS.
