optYOUmize
Most self-improvement tells you that a better life is a more productive life — more output, more achievement, more optimized routines in service of bigger goals. optYOUmize begins from a different premise.
You are not a machine to be tuned. You are a whole person — with competing needs, deep relationships, finite time, and an interior life that deserves as much care as your calendar.
The optYOUmize podcast, hosted by entrepreneur, coach, and speaker Brett Ingram, is built around one question: what does a genuinely good life actually look like for you? Not the generic answer. Not the socially acceptable one. The honest one.
Every episode — whether a guest conversation or a solo exploration — is organized around the seven pillars of a well-lived life: Mind & Inner Life, Body & Vitality, Purpose & Meaningful Work, Relationships & Connection, Money & Financial Wellbeing, Time, Rhythm & Rest, and Growth & Self-Becoming. These aren’t isolated categories. They’re domains of a whole life, always in conversation with each other.
This show is for the person who is doing the work, hitting the goals, and still feels like something is missing. For the thoughtful professional who suspects the ladder might be leaning against the wrong wall. For anyone tired of self-improvement content that just trades one form of striving for another — and who is ready for something more honest and fulfilling.
What you’ll find here: real conversations about the hard questions, frameworks you can actually use, and a point of view that treats you as an intelligent adult rather than a productivity problem to be solved.
Brett Ingram spent 20 years in digital entrepreneurship — building businesses, winning awards, optimizing productivity, and earning recognition — before asking the question that changed everything: is this actually creating the genuine good life I want to live? optYOUmize is the path to the answer.
Because optimization without intentional life architecture just makes you better at someone else’s blueprint. This is where you build your own.

This form of attribution is used to measure advertising effectiveness.
Dynamic content insertion: Libsyn may use limited data that they know about you - the device you’re using, the approximate location you’re in, or other data that can be derived from this, like the current weather forecast for your area - to change parts of the audio. optYOUmize may do this for advertising or for other forms of content, like news stories.
