In this podcast I will be exploring human behavior in all its aspect. From the lived experiences to what the science says and everything in between. There will be solo episodes diving into the research of specific topics, along with guest interviews from some of the top performers, researchers, and writers. I hope that you enjoy the show and it prompts you to become more curious.

Introduction to the Podcast
00:00:00
Tony Montgomery
Welcome to the Tony Montgomery podcast. I am your host, Tony Montgomery. And the purpose of the podcast is to explore human nature, the behaviors of why we do the things that we do, can cause some of the issues in human behavior, such as mental health disorders, dealing with tough situations, how we can overcome them.
00:00:25
Tony Montgomery
also some of the things that make humans beautiful and make us make thrive. So it'll be an exploration of the sciences and also an exploration of lived experiences, talking to people who have boots on the ground, that ah have done the work, have seen the things and have managed to become successful in life and also the the the trials and tribulations that that person had to overcome.
Exercise and Mental Health
00:00:51
Tony Montgomery
Myself personally, I am doing research and focusing on ways to use exercise to improve mental health disorders and sedentary lifestyles while also combining the use of cognitive behavioral tools such as reappraisal, growth mindset, emotion regulation,
00:01:09
Tony Montgomery
A lot of the things that are discussed within the cognitive behavioral therapy techniques that people use within the therapeutic setting. That's my research, but my background is in exercise science and and health and being a coach for 15 years, owning my own
Understanding Human Nature

gyms. and and running through the rigors of trying to get people as strong and fast and resilient as humanly possible is something that I've explored my my my entire life and something that I've done previous podcasts on with great coaches. And I think that by talking to people will allow us to understand different dynamics of human nature, human behavior, and also what separates maybe potentially some of the highest performers from
00:01:57
Tony Montgomery
People who haven't quite got it figured out it'll be a full spectrum of people to interview and and guests to talk about while also covering. Pointing that go directly into things that I'm researching the things that I'm teaching within the university setting and I think.
00:02:15
Tony Montgomery
This will give us a ah good good understanding and a good dynamic of the research, the science, also people are experiencing out there. As we know within the research, as you read it, a big tendency of people tend to think that the research is 10 to 15 years behind what people are actually doing in the
Research and Practical Anecdotes

practical setting. I think that's something that we always want to focus on when we're thinking about evidence-based research is what's the anecdotes that are working right now and how can we create research to dive into those and and see why they're working as opposed to just dismissing them. that's going to be the journey that we're going to go on throughout this podcast. And as I develop more into the research of what I'm doing, both qualitatively and quantitatively through interviewing people and finding out
00:03:04
Tony Montgomery
what makes them push forward, what makes them pursue challenging situations, but also what are some of the things that they had to overcome. I think this is going to be a good melting pot of ideas and topics, covering things from philosophy to consciousness to psychology to health and fitness, nutrition. I'm talking to some of my former military friends and talking to some people in the industries that maybe we don't necessarily correlate to nature and and human behavior, but play a huge role. So it's going to be a big dive into curious topics that make us think outside of the box and make us think better as opposed to trying to provide you with
Exploring Human Complexity
00:03:51
Tony Montgomery
the answers. The idea of the podcast is to make you think, grow,
00:03:55
Tony Montgomery
and learn about things from different perspectives and different research and different sciences. So that'll be the goal. There'll be some solo episodes. There'll be a lot of interviews and we're just going to continue to explore and dive in as deep as possible to curiosity and what what makes human beings so great and complex and are some ways that we can improve some of these circumstances and situations. How can we get better as human beings both with how we view others and how we view ourselves. So that'll be the dynamics of the podcast. I hope you guys enjoy it and please feel free to let me know anything that you guys want to cover, any topics, any guests, and I'll do my best to get them on. And the first episode will be out here shortly and we'll be talking about emotion regulation and how we can utilize that
00:04:45
Tony Montgomery
in daily activities to improve our mental health and are some of the physical health ramifications of that as well and how can we dive into the physical exercise side of things to get the best out of our nature and in human behavior. So join me for the episodes and I'll look forward to hearing and the feedback you guys have.
