In this episode we discuss the incredibly important thing that everyone (including you!) get’s wrong about presence, we explore how to prime yourself for the best performance in moments of pressure and high stakes situations where other people are watching and judging you. We look at the results from thousands of experiments over the last few decades to uncover the fascinating truth about power and powerlessness. And we share the exact strategy you can use to shift your brain into the mode that allows you to view the world as more friendly, help you feel more creative, and make you into someone who takes action. We dig deep into all this and much more with our guest Dr. Amy Cuddy. Dr. Amy Cuddy is an American social psychologist, author, and speaker. She currently lectures on the psychology of leadership and influence at Harvard University and she and her work have won several awards including being named one of “50 Women Who Are Changing The World” by Business Insider. She is the author of the 2015 best-selling book Presence: Bringing Your Boldest Self to Your Biggest Challenges and her 2012 TED talk is the second most viewed talk of all time. Her work has been featured in TIME, Wired, Fast Company, NPR, and countless academic journals.

Matt Bodnar hosts The Science of Success, a conversation grounded in the practical application of research rather than abstract theory. Each episode moves beyond simple self-help platitudes, instead dissecting the mechanics of decision-making, the hidden patterns of psychology, and the frameworks that high performers use to navigate complexity. You’ll hear from a diverse range of experts-from entrepreneurs and scientists to authors and researchers-who share actionable insights drawn from evidence, not just anecdote. The discussions are structured to unpack how our minds work, why we behave the way we do in business and social settings, and what tangible steps we can take to refine our processes and habits. This isn't about quick fixes; it's a deep, ongoing exploration of personal and professional development through a lens of rigorous inquiry. By focusing on data-driven strategies, this podcast provides a reliable resource for anyone looking to cut through the noise and understand the foundational principles behind lasting growth. Tune in for thoughtful analysis and conversations that challenge conventional wisdom, all aimed at helping you build a more effective and examined life.
