MindHack
What happens when you give an overthinking entrepreneur a microphone, a curiosity obsession, and access to the sharpest minds on the planet?
You get MindHack - the podcast for founders, builders, and high-performers who want to upgrade their brain like they upgrade their software.
Each week, Cody McLain (entrepreneur since 15, burnout survivor, and productivity nerd) sits down with scientists, psychologists, and successful entrepreneurs to reverse-engineer how extraordinary people think, feel, and execute.
We unpack the mental models, weird routines, emotional rewiring, and psychology-backed strategies that actually work—so you can build your business without losing your mind.
🎯 Think: startup grit meets cognitive science.
🎙️ Guests include bestselling authors, startup OGs, and unreasonably curious humans.
🔥 Warning: listening may result in existential clarity, better habits, and fewer panic Googles at 2am.
