On this week's episode of The Ultimate Assist, John Stockton and Ken Ruettgers sit down with elite performance coach Chase Jackson, founder of Wired to Win, for a fascinating conversation about what truly separates good athletes from great ones. While most performance programs focus on strength and conditioning, Chase believes the real advantage begins somewhere else: the nervous system.Drawing from his work with elite athletes and high performers, Chase explains why optimizing the brain, feet, breathing patterns, hormones, and identity may unlock levels of athletic performance most coaches never address.The conversation explores:Why elite athletes often train the wrong thingsThe surprising role your toes play in speed, balance, and powerEngineering identity for peak performanceBreathwork and nervous system regulationWhy confidence can be trainedBuilding resilience under pressureRecovery, sleep, and high-performance habitsWhy mindset without physiology isn't enoughWhether you're an elite athlete, weekend warrior, coach, or simply looking to perform better in everyday life, this episode offers practical insights into becoming “wired to win.”

I wasted 15 years of my sex life. Alex Grendi, former professional soccer player turned certified men's sex coach, joins Ted Phaeton on The Modern Man Podcast to talk about the silent battle 20 to 30 percent of men face — performance anxiety, premature ejaculation, ED — and the 4-step method he uses to fix it.   Alex spent 15 years battling this himself while competing at the elite athletic level, hiding it behind marijuana and locker-room bravado. This is the conversation that unpacks how sexual confidence directly shapes how a man shows up in business, leadership, and marriage — and the exact steps to reclaim it. Alex walks through the Superior Lovers 4-step method: nervous-system regulation (why porn/masturbation-free weeks reveal your real stress load), non-genital pleasure and sound expression (the shame most men carry), edging as exposure therapy for arousal, and separating orgasm from ejaculation. Plus: why Kegels are an emergency brake and not a solution, why sobriety was Alex's real turning point, and Ted's rule — you can't heal what you don't reveal.   Chapters: 00:00 15 Years Wasted 01:44 Welcome, Brother — Ted's Intro 02:22 "Sex Felt Like Something I Had to Get Through" 03:39 How Every Man Ends Up in the Loop 05:59 Elite Athlete on the Outside, Suffering on the Inside 08:16 The Whiskey Dick Problem (And What Research Actually Says) 09:28 The Turning Point — Sobriety & Self-Discovery 10:36 Sexual Health IS Health 13:52 What Semen Retention Actually Is (It's NOT NoFap) 16:30 How to Move Your Sexual Energy 19:00 Ted on Breaking His Own Porn Habit 21:17 The Layers Underneath "Boredom" 22:46 What "Superior Lover" Actually Means 24:25 Why the "Quick Tip" Won't Fix It 26:56 STEP 1 — Stress Regulation & Nervous System Awareness 28:57 Ted's Ice Bath Aha Moment (120 BPM → 68 BPM) 30:03 The Ice Bath Erection Challenge

FDA Advisory Panel Backs Six Peptides for Compounding Pharmacies Phil kicks things off with an update on the torn upper horn of his lateral meniscus, sustained just before a meet he ran anyway (600 lb squat, 600 lb deadlift) rather than sit out with his son. From there the hosts pivot to a Verywell Health piece by Amber Raiken on the FDA's Pharmacy Compounding Advisory Committee recommending looser restrictions on six peptides — BPC-157, TB-500, KPV, MOTS-c, Selank, and Epitalon — while rejecting a seventh, Emoxypine, over weak human results. Mike, drawing on a recent conversation with attorney Rick Collins, explains the split between FDA researchers (mostly opposed) and the non-physician advisory panel (mostly in favor), and why compounding-pharmacy oversight could at least guarantee sterile, accurately-dosed product versus the unregulated grey market. The group works through the thin evidence base for BPC-157 — including a sham-surgery knee trial showing a large placebo effect — alongside real anecdotes, including Phil's own faster recovery after hip surgery. They also cover the money and politics behind the FDA's shift, the rise of pre-loaded peptide pens mirroring GLP-1 marketing, sermorelin's prior FDA history, grey-market use of unapproved compounds like retatrutide, and how peptides moved from underground research-chemical circles in the '90s to today's mainstream, driven largely by biohacker influencers and the normalization of GLP-1 injections — now increasingly popular with women as well as men. They close by comparing peptide-assisted recovery in elite athletes (citing Patrick Mahomes) to the old anabolic-era "impossible" recovery stories, and debate what a sane regulatory and tracking system for peptides could look like. 00:00 Welcome and Hosts 00:20 Phil's Meniscus Tear and Meet Recovery 05:02 Transition to Peptide Regulatory News 06:18 FDA Advisory Panel and the Six Peptides 12:11 BPC-157 History and Anecdotal Evidence 17:02 Network Announcements and Newsletter 19:58 FDA Politics and Compounding Pharmacy Incentives 30:07 Six Peptides List and Emoxypine Rejection 34:59 A Proposal for Peptide Regulation and Tracking 37:28 How Peptides Reached the General Public 46:48 Elite Athletes and Faster Recovery Anecdotes 50:06 Wrap and Disclaimer Donate to the show via PayPal HERE.You can also join Dr Mike's Insider Newsletter for more info on how to add muscle, improve your performance and body comp - all without destroying your health, go to www.ironradiodrmike.com Thank you!Phil, Jerrell, Mike T, and Lonnie

In this episode of the Movement Podcast, Gray Cook and Lee Burton are joined by Dr. Todd Arnold, a board-certified sports medicine physician with more than two decades of experience caring for athletes at every level — from high school and collegiate sports to NCAA Championships, World Championships, and elite international competition.Dr. Arnold serves as the medical officer for elite athlete healthcare for USA Track & Field, where his role is not simply to react to injuries, but to help athletes stay healthy enough to train, compete, and perform when it matters most.This conversation explores how movement assessment fits into modern sports medicine and why runners need more than mileage, strength, or biomechanics alone. Dr. Arnold shares how he uses movement screening, Y Balance, table exams, biomechanics, recovery conversations, and individual baselines to better understand each athlete's state of readiness.The discussion covers:Why sports medicine needs to move from reactive to proactive careHow Dr. Arnold applies movement systems with elite runnersWhy every runner needs an individual baselineThe three things Dr. Arnold does not want to miss in runnersAnkle dorsiflexion asymmetryGlute sequencing and timingThoracic extensionWhy running is repetitive, predictable, and demandingHow movement screens help create athlete buy-inWhy table exams still matterHow Faber and Thomas testing relate to running mechanicsThe relationship between movement readiness and wearable dataWhy recovery may be the biggest mistake many runners makeHow coaches, clinicians, sports psychologists, dietitians, and biomechanics teams can use movement as a shared languageThe key takeaway: running performance is not just about training harder. It is about understanding whether the athlete is ready to absorb, adapt, and repeat the work.Learn more about Functional Movement Systems:https://www.functionalmovement.com/Functional Movement SystemsYouTubeFacebookInstagramX (Twitter)Subscribe to the FMS Newsletter

What does it take to perform when the margins are measured in hundredths of a second, the pressure is immense and one mistake can end everything?Recorded live at the J.P. Morgan sponsored Aurora event in Båstad, Sweden, Georgie Ainslie sits down with two of Sweden's most successful skiers: Olympic alpine champion Sara Hector and cross-country star Ebba Andersson.Sara reflects on the six-year wait between podium finishes, the serious knee injury that threatened her career and the mindset shift that helped her win Olympic giant slalom gold. She also explains why fear of failure cannot simply be suppressed, what it feels like to race at the limit and why elite athletes must learn not to empty the glass in every training session.Ebba shares the conversation with her father that pulled her out of one of the lowest periods of her career, why she changed her approach after the Beijing Olympics and how better recovery, nutrition and trust in her own instincts helped her reach new heights.Together, they discuss performance anxiety, comparison, recovery, resilience, discipline and the importance of staying present when everything is at stake.This episode was recorded live at Aurora in Båstad, Sweden.Performance People is powered by J.P. Morgan Private Bank.FAQsWho are Sara Hector and Ebba Andersson?Sara Hector is a Swedish alpine skier and Olympic giant slalom champion. Ebba Andersson is a Swedish cross-country skier with multiple World Championship titles and Olympic medals.Where was this episode recorded?The conversation was recorded live at the Aurora car event in Båstad, Sweden, which was sponsored by J.P. Morgan Private Bank.What sports do Sara Hector and Ebba Andersson compete in?Sara competes in alpine skiing, specialising in giant slalom. Ebba competes in cross-country skiing and is known for endurance events.What does Sara Hector say about performance anxiety?Sara explains that she cannot simply suppress anxiety or fear of failure. Instead, she has learned to allow those feelings to arise, accept them and return her attention to the next action.How did Ebba Andersson recover from a major setback?After suffering a serious knee injury, Ebba reached a very low point. A direct conversation with her father challenged her to decide whether she would remain negative or take control of the situation and work towards returning to skiing.How important is recovery to elite athletes?Both athletes describe recovery as central to performance. Sara says athletes do not improve during training itself, but through the recovery that follows it.What is the “water glass” analogy discussed in the episode?Sara's coach compares energy to a glass of water. If an athlete completely empties the glass during every training session, it soon becomes impossible to recover. The lesson is to leave something in reserve.What is the main lesson Sara and Ebba give to young athletes?Ebba advises young people to listen to themselves rather than constantly following the opinions of others. Sara argues that attitude, discipline and clarity about personal values can carry athletes through periods when motivation disappears.The Performance People podcast, in partnership with J.P. Morgan Private Bank, talks to high-performers in the world of sport and beyond, to bring defining moments, hard-earned insights and expert advice to everyday performance.

What if the biggest thing holding back your performance isn't your mindset, your training, or your work ethic, but your nervous system? In this episode of the Thrive State Podcast, Dr. Kien Vuu sits down with performance physiotherapist and nervous system expert Dr. Jo Brown to explore why nervous system regulation may be the missing link between good performance and sustained excellence. After working with Olympic champions, NBA players, NFL athletes, and world-class competitors, Dr. Brown discovered that lasting success isn't simply about physical ability or mental toughness. It's about intentionality, nervous system regulation, and consistently recovering well enough to perform again. Together, Dr. V and Dr. Brown break down why so many high achievers stay trapped in "go mode," how chronic stress quietly erodes performance long before symptoms appear, and the practical tools anyone can use to regulate their nervous system and improve recovery. They also dive into the future of performance medicine, discussing heart rate variability (HRV), wearable technology, vagus nerve stimulation, and why the nervous system may be the last frontier in optimizing human performance. Whether you're an entrepreneur, executive, athlete, or simply looking for more energy, resilience, and longevity, this conversation offers actionable strategies to help you perform at your highest level without sacrificing your health. In this episode, you'll learn: Why nervous system regulation is the foundation of sustainable high performance The difference between recovery and readiness Why sleep remains the most underrated recovery tool What separates legendary athletes from everyone else Simple nervous system regulation tools you can start using today How HRV should actually be interpreted Common signs you're heading toward burnout Why stress isn't the enemy, but poor recovery is How wearable technology and vagus nerve stimulation are changing recovery Why showing up as your authentic self improves performance Follow Dr. V: https://instagram.com/doctorvmd Get the #1 Bestselling Book Thrive State: https://thrivestatebook.com Download the FREE Thrive State Starter Guide: https://thrivestatestarter.com Join the Thrive State Membership: https://mythrivestate.com/join Learn more about Dr. Jo Brown: https://www.linkedin.com/in/dr-jo-brown-279311172/ https://performance-state.com/

If you've ever felt like your body stopped cooperating in your 40s — the recovery that takes days instead of hours, the muscle that seems to disappear no matter what you do, the fitness advice that just doesn't land anymore — this conversation is your explanation. Dr. Stephanie and Dr. Andy Galpin cover why fast-twitch muscle fiber loss is the real aging problem nobody's talking about, what perimenopause actually does to your recovery capacity (and why the answer isn't just "train less"), why fasted versus fed training is far more personal than the internet would have you believe, the look/feel/perform triad as a framework for ditching shame-based motivation for good, and why bone mineral density is the one number every woman over 40 should know — and most don't. This isn't about getting smaller. It's about building a body that works for the next 40 years.

In this episode of RECESS, Juliet and I open with a massive shoutout to local legend Kate Courtney — who, after winning mountain biking world championships, the Leadville 100 record, and a long course world title, has now casually taken over road cycling too.We also get into something that came up close to home: Juliet watched the Barceloneta men's water polo team — European Champions League winners — practice on virtually no food or water, which opened up a real conversation about how you change deeply embedded fueling habits in elite sport. Spoiler: athletes have to feel the difference themselves.Then we dig into surgery nutrition — a topic that affects way more people than elite athletes. Muscle loss after orthopedic surgery runs about 1% per day, with up to 18% loss in the quads and hamstrings within six weeks. We break down protein timing, pre-surgical carbohydrate loading, and how to protect your body going in and coming out.Plus: Kelly's ACL and "sprain plus" knee update, Haute Route hike prep, and an ongoing domestic dispute about whether Stumptown Holler Mountain is the peak of human coffee achievement or just the beginning of the search.New episodes of The Ready State Podcast drop every Thursday.What You'll Learn in This EpisodeWhy Kate Courtney's move from mountain biking to road cycling is one of the most remarkable athletic pivots happening in sport right nowHow intra-session carbohydrate fueling is changing across elite sports, and why winning teams are often the hardest to convince to changeWhat the research says about muscle loss after orthopedic surgery: up to 1% per day and 18% loss in six weeksWhy protein needs jump to 1.2–2g per kilogram of bodyweight in the pre- and post-surgical windowHow consuming ~50g of carbohydrates two hours before surgery may reduce post-surgical insulin resistance by 50%Why "three limb training" matters during recovery and why you can't just wait for healing to happenHow Kelly is rehabbing a torn ACL, MCL, high-grade fibular sprain, torn calf, and two menisci, and still calling it a "sprain plus"What the Haute Route from Chamonix to Zermatt demands physically, and how Kelly is prepping for 10 days of mountain hikingKey Highlights: (00:00) Welcome back to RECESS; Kate Courtney shoutout — local legend, mountain biking world champion, and now national road cycling champion(01:30) How Kate Courtney broke the factory racing model, started her own team, won Leadville 100 with a course record, and took the long course world championship, and most recently the US National Road Championship(04:43) The mutant athlete era: Kate, Pauline Ferrand-Prévot, Puck Pieterse, and why cyclists switching disciplines is making the sport more exciting than ever(06:00) Water polo and intra-session fueling: watching the Barceloneta European champions practice under-fueled, and a conversation with Heather Petri about how far sport nutrition has come(07:50) How you actually change fueling dogma in elite sport: showing athletes the data, letting them feel the difference, and why winning teams are hardest to convince(08:25) Intra-session carb targets across sports: from 30–50g for recreational athletes to 100g+ per hour for elite endurance, and what the Tour de France taught us about gut training(16:40) Kids and fueling: why youth athletes are chronically under-fueled and what parents can do about it(17:30) The coffee wars: Stumptown Holler Mountain vs. the challengers — Monmouth, Kimbo, Doma Roasters Chronic, and the Aeropress experiment(21:10) Haute Route prep: hiking Chamonix to Zermatt, 10 days, 8–10 hour hiking days, and how Kelly is training his "sprain plus" knee for the Alps(26:55) Kelly's injury breakdown: torn ACL, torn MCL, high-grade fibular sprain, torn calf, both menisci — and why he chose to delay ACL repair to make the trip(28:00) Surgery nutrition: the research on muscle loss post-orthopedic surgery, why protein needs spike, and the pre-surgical carbohydrate timing window(31:20) Can we challenge the "nothing by mouth" pre-surgery protocol?

In this episode of Business Your Way, host Caryn Gillen explores what life coaches and small business owners can gain by treating themselves like elite athletes.She breaks down what high performance really requires: honest self-awareness about your energy limits (like knowing you're a "one-experience-a-day" introvert), rejecting depletion as a badge of honor, and building personal systems (so you stop relearning the same lessons about what works for you). Can anyone relate?!

Ep. 526 | Dyslexia & Elite Athletes: The Hidden Sports AdvantageSports Chasers Interview Sessions | June 8, 2026Muhammad Ali. Magic Johnson. Tim Tebow. Nolan Ryan. Elite. Decorated. Legendary. And all dyslexic. In this Sports Chasers Interview Session, host Kevin L. Warren sits down with Russell Van Brocklen — The Dyslexia Professor — for one of the most unexpected and powerful conversations in Sports Chasers history.Russell draws on Yale-based science from Dr. Sally Shaywitz's Overcoming Dyslexia to explain why dyslexic learners aren't broken — they're built differently. And in high-strategy positions like quarterback, that difference may be an outright competitive advantage.

Most coaches spend their careers shaping athletes.

Most college strength programs are actively making their athletes slower and weaker. I had another kid go to a D1 school with a 425-pound bench and come back only able to press 345. Elite strength coach and Westside Barbell disciple Jared Bidne is destroying the traditional, over-complicated sports performance model by proving that elite speed is built through brutal simplicity and high muscular tension. INSIDE THE EPISODE: The Death of Transfer: Why a 600-pound squat means absolutely nothing if your athlete cannot jump over a doormat. The 0.6 m/s Rule: How tracking precise bar speed on low box squats serves as the ultimate predictor for a 4.4-second 40-yard dash. The Track-Sprinting Trap: Why sending your football players to run track in the off-season is actually destroying their starting power. The Dumbbell Jump Protocol: Inside the auto-regulated, heavy-light vertical jump method that has produced forty-six 40-plus inch verticals. MEET THE GUEST: Jared Bidne is the owner and head coach of Explosive Mechanics, a private, athlete-only training facility he has operated for over 17 years. A Distinguished CSCS and Westside Barbell certified coach who learned directly under Louie Simmons, Bidne has developed a reputation for rescuing elite athletes from the detraining effects of collegiate programs. By stripping away traditional fads and focusing strictly on muscular tension and rate of force development, he has coached over 200 athletes to Division 1 scholarships, trained multiple IPF world record holders, and weaponized a proprietary dumbbell-jump system to systematically build world-class speed and power.

Get ad-free listening and exclusive shows by becoming a Supporter of The Real Science of Sport!In our Spotlight this week:The heat wave in Paris is making life very difficult at Roland Garros, with Casper Ruud describing himself as "walking around like a zombie" during his first round match. We explore the physiology of heat regulation in tennis, how safety policies are developed to protect players, explain why heat changes the tactical and technical nature of play, and what can be done to help players without handing out free passes to those less well preparedSean Ingle joined us recently to talk about the Enhanced Games. We share our thoughts as the dust settles, with more reflection on why the premise of trustworthiness was never really delivered, the money that is turning athlete's heads, and Gareth walks back a few things he said in the heat of the momentWe explain the deliberate logic behind World Athletics' new qualification standards, and what it means for athletes without a good agent or a seat at the Diamond League tableRugby and concussion are in the Spotlight again with two research developments. First, a group of researchers is promising a new evidence-backed head impact assessment protocol for women's players. Ross doesn't know exactly what that means, and we discuss what is already known about women's susceptibility to concussion. Then, a new study out of Ireland provides the first published evidence that lowering the legal tackle height in rugby has reduced concussion and overall injury rates at community level. Ross, who has been directly involved in the process, explains what we now know, what still needs work, and why a 20% drop, scaled across tens of thousands of players, is a genuinely meaningful public health winCan an athlete still compete professionally in multiple sports at the highest level? A great question from listener Robert to our Discourse community (another reason to join our supporters club for more!) sparks a wide-ranging conversation, from Bo Jackson and Deion Sanders to Rebecca Romero and Elise Perry — and why early specialisation has made the whole idea increasingly impossibleForbes has released its top 10 highest-paid athletes of 2026. Ross and Gareth play a guessing game, reflect on what the list says about the business of sport, money and sex, and note that no woman made the top 50. Hosted on Acast.

In this episode of The Firefighters Podcast, I sit down with Jack Goodwin for a powerful conversation exploring resilience, trauma, identity, and the psychology of high performance. A Great Britain international athlete with personal bests of 13:35 for 5,000 metres, 29:16 for 10,000 metres, and a 61:05 HYROX time, Jack shares lessons learned from years competing at an elite level and how those experiences shaped his understanding of mental health, discipline, suffering, and purpose. Together, we discuss psychological safety, coping mechanisms in high pressure environments, social media, self worth, ego, neurodiversity, and the importance of authenticity in both professional and personal life.

#382: Gracie Gold became a two-time U.S. national champion, a six-time Grand Prix medalist, and in 2014 she made history as the first American woman to win the NHK Trophy in the sport of figure skating. That same year, she stood on the 2014 Olympic podium in Sochi as part of Team USA in the team event and placed 4th in the individual event, close to a medal of her own. At her peak, she held the record for the highest short program score ever recorded by an American woman.But behind the sparkle and the scores, something was quietly unraveling. Gracie has been open about her struggles with anxiety, depression, and an eating disorder: battles that were happening largely out of public view, even as she was competing at the highest level in the world. In 2017, she stepped away from the sport entirely to get help, one of the bravest decisions an athlete can make.What followed was a long, honest road back — not just to skating, but to herself. She's since become a vocal advocate for athletes in the mental health space, and recently released a memoir called Outofshapeworthlessloser — a title that tells you everything about where she's been and how far she's come. Today, Gracie isn't just a former champion. She's someone who has done the real work, and isn't afraid to talk about it.Content note: The topic of body image struggles and eating disorder are discussed in this episode.What you will learn:The reality behind preparing for the Olympics in figure skatingNavigating body image and an eating disorderHow Gracie handled mental toughness and pressure in competitionRemoving self-worth from achievementWhy it's better to listen to yourself, regardless of others' opinionsBeing OK with criticism, whether online or in your circleReceive weekly personal insights from Emily's email newsletter and subscribe hereWatch Full Episodes on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@whatfulfillsyou/videosENJOY 10% OFF THE WHAT FULFILLS YOU?

Coach Torrey and Coach Don preview episode 420 of Everything Fastpitch, beginning with “good news, bad news”: UCLA's Megan Grant sets the single-season home run record with 38, but a Big Ten Network replay skipped the record-breaking at-bat in favor of injury and replay footage. They answer a listener question about a $50 travel-ball tryout fee, agreeing the biggest issue is not disclosing it upfront. They break down the newly announced NCAA Division I tournament bracket, noting SEC strength, mid-majors benefiting from SEC teams missing the .500 threshold, and storyline-heavy potential matchups (e.g., Oregon–Oklahoma, Texas–Texas A&M, Alabama–LSU). In cleanup, they encourage players to watch how elite athletes handle mistakes and teamwork, then argue the sport has a shrinking strike zone, citing 1,600 more home runs than last year. They close by questioning in-game iPad video coaching for 12U players, favoring postgame review, and thank sponsors and patrons.Support the show

This episode is sponsored by Deel. Hire, manage and pay – anyone, anywhere: https://www.deel.com/nickdayhr/In this episode of @thehrldpodcast Nick Day is joined by Lara Milward, neuroleadership coach, speaker, and founder, with over a decade of experience helping leaders and teams build mental stamina, emotional regulation, and high performance without burning out. Blending neuroscience, physiology, psychology, and real world leadership experience, Lara brings a rare and refreshing perspective to what it truly means to lead at your best.Lara brings a powerful athletic background and science-backed coaching methodology into the world of leadership development. Together, Nick and Lara explore why the leaders who thrive are not the ones who push hardest but the ones who understand how their brain works and train it with the same discipline, intention, and care that elite athletes give their bodies.This conversation unpacks what the Leader Shift framework really means and how six practical tools can transform mindset and behaviour in any leader at any level. Nick and Lara discuss why mental conditioning for leaders is no longer optional, how the neuroscience of threat and reward state directly impacts team performance, and why emotional regulation and self-awareness are now non-negotiable leadership skills.They also explore why the brain needs off-task time to generate its best ideas, the critical role of rest and recovery in avoiding burnout, and how physical challenge builds the same neural pathways as professional resilience. The discussion highlights the importance of the mind-body connection in leadership, the dangers of back-to-back meeting culture, and how leaders can use the SCARF model to keep their teams in a reward state and performing at their peak.In a world shaped by complexity, distraction, and burnout, this episode examines the practical leadership performance tools every HR and L&D professional needs in 2026, including how to manage energy strategically, set boundaries with confidence, and build a high-performing mindset from the inside out.A must-listen for HR leaders, L&D professionals, and anyone ready to stop surviving and start thriving in both their professional and personal lives.Enjoyed this?

In this transformative episode, host Ashish Kothari welcomes Jack Swift—a West Point graduate, former U.S. Army Airborne Ranger, and tech CEO—to discuss his groundbreaking new book, Level 7 Leadership: The Blueprint for the Human-Machine Era. Jack argues that in an age of exponential AI growth, the most critical leadership skill isn't "doing" more; it's "being" more. We explore why traditional linear leadership models are "blue-screening" in the modern world and how cultivating internal coherence is the only way to lead teams that move with the speed and fluid trust of a murmuration of birds.Main Topics CoveredBeing vs. Doing: Why our "human doing" habits are causing us to suboptimize performance and burn out.Internal Coherence: Aligning the gut, heart, and brain to create a stable internal state that cascades through an organization.The "Ammonia" of Stress: A visceral look at how extreme stress physically manifests in high-pressure boardrooms and battlefields.Relational Alignment: Why trust is the "speed of light" for any organization and how to build it through radical honesty.The "I Don't Know" Advantage: How admitting ignorance and mistakes builds an upward spiral of psychological safety and learning.Systemic Learning: Moving away from "PowerPoint Theater" toward raw, real-time data loops and "edge listening."L7 (Level Seven): The Agentic Coach: An introduction to Jack's AI agent designed to help leaders move from knowing to doing.Key TakeawaysYour State is Your Reality: The internal condition of the leader determines the creative capacity of the team. A fear-based state limits innovation; a coherent state unlocks it.The "Do-Be-Do" Rhythm: Effective leadership isn't about constant meditation; it's about taking intentional "being" pauses (like box breathing) to inform high-impact "doing."Trust is Mandatory for Speed: You cannot outwork a machine, but you can out-trust a competitor. High-trust teams operate in a "murmuration" state, sensing and reacting as one unit.Listen to the Edges: The most valuable insights often come from the most junior members or those on the periphery who see the world without the "film" of past experience.Intuition is LiDAR: In a world moving too fast for historical data (the rearview mirror) to be relevant, training your intuition is essential for navigating uncertainty.Episode Chapters0:00 - 3:10 Introduction: The Survival Struggle of Modern Leaders3:11 - 8:44 The Big Idea: Being as the Primary Driver of Doing8:45 - 14:30 Coherence Defined: Heart Math and the Battle for Clarity14:31 - 21:05 The TIFIN Story: When Old Frameworks "Blue-Screen"21:06 - 28:47 Shifting States: Learning from Elite Athletes and Special Ops28:48 - 34:36 The One-Minute Mindset: Rhythmic Entrainment in the Boardroom34:37 - 40:41 Relational Alignment: Why Servant Leadership is Evolving40:42 - 45:35 The Power of "I Don't Know" and "I Made a Mistake"45:36 - 50:21 Aspirational Teams: Moving Like a Murmuration50:22 - 57:18 Systemic Learning: Dropping the "Theater" for Raw Data57:19 - 1:03:03 LiDAR vs. Rearview Mirrors: The Future of Intuition1:03:04 - 1:08:19 Rapid Fire: L7 AI Agent and Closing Micro-ActionsConnect with the GuestLinkedIn: Jack SwiftThe Book: Level 7 Leadership: The Blueprint for the Human + Machine EraCommunity: Sangha Conscious LeadershipStop "blue-screening" and start leading.

What do elite athletes do differently when it comes to fat loss? In this episode, Vanessa breaks down the most surprising takeaways from her conversation with sports dietitian Emily Mitchell, who has worked with professional teams including UCLA Athletics, the LA Galaxy, the Clippers, and the Buccaneers. While many people think getting lean requires constant dieting, eliminating carbohydrates, and pushing through hunger, elite athletes often take a completely different approach. Vanessa explores six of the most powerful fat loss strategies used by elite performers — including why many athletes don't diet during their competitive season, why protein intake is far higher than most people realize, and how strategic carbohydrate timing can actually support fat loss and performance.
