We’ve been culturally trained to believe sharing a bed equals closeness - but what if sleeping separately actually improves connection, intimacy, and overall happiness? In this episode, I share why I’ve had a sleep divorce from the very beginning of my relationship, how it’s strengthened our marriage (not harmed it), and why protecting sleep might be one of the most loving decisions a couple can make. We’ll talk about the myths, the benefits, the social stigma, and why a well-rested partner is simply a better partner. If you’ve ever wondered whether separate sleep means something is...

In this episode, we unpack The Alex Honnold Conundrum - why someone can be objectively extraordinary and still deeply unsettling on a human level.

Using Alex Honnold as a case study, we explore what people found uncomfortable about his relationship, why that discomfort matters, and the bigger question it forces all of us to ask: what do you actually need from another human — and what cost are you...

info_outlineIn this episode, Elle Russ dives into a fascinating concept rooted in one of the most sophisticated intelligence agencies in the world: Mossad. The 10th Man Principle was developed to combat the dangerous effects of groupthink—where harmony overrides critical evaluation. This principle mandates that if nine people in a group agree on a decision, the 10th person must dissent, ensuring every angle is rigorously tested.
We explore the origins of this strategy in intelligence work and its relevance to personal and professional life. From preventing blind spots to fostering innovation and resilience, this mindset can help you make better decisions, whether in career moves, relationships, parenting, or even life-or-death scenarios.
Join me as I share practical ways to apply this principle, real-life examples—including a life-saving decision during the 2018 Woolsey Fire—and how cultivating dissent can lead to wisdom, growth, and success.
Tune in to learn how you can harness the power of the 10th Man Principle in your life.
