In this episode, we move beyond traditional goal-setting, emphasizing the transformative impact of consistent actions in shaping our desired identity. We challenge the notion that goals alone define us and guide listeners through a practical exercise to align their daily behaviors with their envisioned identity.
Discover why embodying the identity of the person who achieves a goal is more crucial than the goal itself. The episode concludes with a call to action: evaluate your current identity, articulate a desired one, commit to specific behaviors, and display this commitment as a daily reminder.

Welcome to VeloUnlocked! Last time, we explored self-concept. Today, we're delving into how our behaviors shape reality. Your circumstances are a result of your actions – for instance, poor eating habits leading to weight issues.
Life events can shift our identity, influencing behaviors in different areas. It's not about changing desires but dealing with emotions tied to trauma. While primitive emotions are beyond control, reactions and interpretations are in our hands.
This week, review your arena list. Note habits and behaviors. Do they align with your desired identity? If not, decide who you want to be and shape your actions accordingly.

Welcome to this week's episode, where we explore the journey of self-discovery. After completing the first step of awareness—ownership—it's time to define our authentic selves.
In this episode, we discuss how we are a collection of stories that shape our interpretation of life events. These stories, influenced by how we perceive others' views of us, serve as a blueprint to understanding who we truly are.
To conquer the quest of self-discovery, we delve into the three overlapping layers of our identity. The outermost layer is our external self, influenced by social contexts. The internal layer evolves as we work on ourselves, often revealed to those closest to us. The innermost layer is our innate and automated identity, rooted in personal evolution and experiences.
To help you understand these layers, we provide actionable tasks at the end. List the different arenas in your life, describe your external and internal selves, explore potentially negative aspects, and recall instances that surprised you.
Your self-concept is like a pie—unchangeable in size, but the distribution of its pieces can vary. By completing these tasks, you'll gain insight into the percentages each layer occupies in your self-concept pie. Join us on this journey of self-discovery, and stay tuned for next week as we explore living up to the identity you're striving for.

Welcome to VeloUnlocked, the podcast that uncovers profound life lessons through a unique lens. In today's episode, we delve into the essence of luck, particularly as it manifests in the world of sports. We challenge the notion that luck is a chance occurrence, asserting instead that it is earned through thousands of hours of skill-oriented practice. Drawing inspiration from the lion, the animal kingdom's greatest hunter, we question whether the lion perceives its successful hunts as luck. Unlike us, the lion lacks ego, enabling it to own every action, including failures, and transform them into learning opportunities. As we explore this perspective, we challenge listeners to reflect on their own identities: are you the lion, mastering challenges through practice and self-awareness, or the prey relying on hope and luck?
Join us on VeloUnlocked as we navigate the complexities of mastery, debunking the misconception that success is mere chance. In a society that often misunderstands preparedness as luck, we explore the transformative power of embracing one's identity, much like the lion in the wild. This episode invites you to ponder a fundamental question: are you the architect of your destiny, boldly navigating life's challenges with practiced skill, or are you the hopeful prey, relying on luck to navigate uncharted territories? Tune in for a compelling exploration of these themes and more on VeloUnlocked.
