Ep 68: Shaping Mindsets – The Invisible Hand of Culture & Environment
Have you ever stopped to wonder why you see the world the way you do? Why you believe what you believe about success, failure, money, family, or even yourself?
In this powerful episode of The Shattered Mindset Podcast, Melvin Larry explores the invisible forces that shape us — culture, environment, education, and personal experiences. Discover how these influences mold our beliefs, attitudes, and behaviors, often without us realizing it.
Melvin breaks down the difference between mindset and philosophy, draws on insights from Dr. Carol Dweck (Mindset: The New Psychology of Success) and Dr. Benjamin Hardy (Be Your Future Self Now), and shares how his own life experiences — from family and corporate life to entrepreneurship and legacy — shaped his mindset.
This episode challenges you to move from living by default to living by design, and Melvin closes with five proven steps to help you intentionally shape your mindset and your future.
What You’ll Learn in This Episode:
- What a mindset really is and how it differs from a philosophy
- How culture and environment create the foundation of your beliefs
- Why education and exposure to new ideas can transform your life
- The balance between past shaping the present vs. present shaping the future
- Five actionable steps to shape your mindset with purpose
