Sam Dreyfus - Ruthless Optimism, Becoming More You & Embracing Chaos - EP20

Geoff Goddard Season 1 Episode 20

Samuel Dreyfus is a provisional psychologist, ruthless optimist, and founder of the Unofficial Run Club. In this episode, he and Geoff explore the chaos of your twenties, feeling “behind,” and how the things that look like mistakes often become the foundation for who you are.

Sam shares openly about ADHD, self-doubt, and the belief he carried for years that he was “too dumb” for university. A single high-distinction changed his story — and set him on an eight-year journey to becoming a psychologist.

Together they unpack:

  • limiting beliefs and how they form
  • the cognitive triangle and CBT
  • behavioural activation for depression
  • exposure therapy and building confidence through action
  • how authenticity created the rapid rise of Sam’s social media
  • the magic and community behind Unofficial Run Club

This conversation is for anyone who has ever felt lost, stuck, or like they’re not enough. It’s a reminder that you’re not what you could be yet — and there is no limit to who you can become if you keep going.
