The Unified Behavior Model™👇

"It is not the strongest of the species that survives, nor the most intelligent—it is the one most adaptable to change.”
—Charles Darwin

The H2G podcast is entering another brief hiatus so I can finalize the UBM whitepaper (more soon 👀)

… and support my elderly parents.

That second part?

Let’s call it the first elemental lesson that UBM and its Behavior Echo-System teach:

Your environment is always influencing you.

It affects your energy, effort, and even which goals you can—or simply can’t—achieve.

In 1968, Arnold, just 21 years old, left Austria for Kalifornia—chasing muscle, fame, and the dream of becoming bodybuilding’s king.

He chose California—specifically Venice Beach—for its sunshine and to train alongside the world’s greatest bodybuilders at Gold’s Gym.

When pursuing important goals, it’s crucial to tailor your environment—to make it as conducive and supportive as possible.

Arnold intuitively knew that being the best bodybuilder in Austria, or even in Europe, wasn’t enough to get him where he wanted to go: Mr. Universe.

Your H2G reflection for the week:

Think about your most pressing goal right now.

Where are you trying to force progress against real environmental constraints?

Can you identify those constraints? How many are addressable?

Where could you enhance your environment?

What resources could you bring to your aid—people, money, skills, time, or something else?

Might it be wiser to pause, shift your strategy, change direction, or adjust your tactics?

Or even... ask for help?

📍Sometimes it’s not just about your habits.
Often, it’s your habitat that’s holding you back.

Knowing the difference is a skill in itself.

“We shape our buildings (environment), and thereafter they shape us.”
—Winston Churchill
