Mental skills aren't just something you should reach for when you're feeling stuck: mental skills are something that can help you from feeling stuck in the first place.
Hosted by entrepreneur and mental skills coach Nick Gumpert, Mental is where hustle meets headspace. It’s raw. It’s real. It’s the mental tune-up every young adult should’ve gotten before stepping into life’s arena.
Those your age that are crushing it aren't smarter—they've just learned to protect their attention like their life depends on it. Because it does. Upgrade your mental toolbox weekly, and add to the most crucial skills you’ll ever have and no one can take away from you.
Let’s face it—
📉 Over 62% of young adults report feeling overwhelmed ”most of the time.”
😶🌫️ Anxiety, burnout, and imposter syndrome aren’t buzzwords—they’re battle scars.
Each short episode (less than 10 minutes) is a combination of elite mental performance tools, real-world stories, and questions that hit like a mirror:
🧠 “If mindset was a currency, how rich would you be?”
💥 “What if the biggest barrier between you and the life you're craving is the story you keep telling yourself?”
Nick doesn’t just talk mindset—he helps you build it. Whether you’re a student-athlete, a creative, or climbing your way through your first job, this show is your mental must.
The cost of ignoring these skills, isn't just struggling—it's watching your future self slip away while others who improve their mental skills soar past you.
Let’s get your mind right. Subscribe now so you can continue to add to the most important skills you’ll ever own, your mental skills! Want more ideas and techniques to build your mental skills? Check out Nick's book, Starting!
