#90: [Inside the Mind] Dr. Rick Sessinghaus: Resilience, Flow, Fear, and Harnessing the Dark Side In this powerful episode of The Scratch Golfer's Mindset Podcast, I sit down with Dr. Rick Sessinghaus—longtime mental coach to Collin Morikawa and one of the leading experts in golf psychology and flow state training. We explore the often-overlooked layers of resilience, how to avoid complacency after success, and the tools to shift from fear to flow under pressure. Rick shares actionable strategies, cutting-edge technology insights, and practical routines you can apply both on and off the course to perform your best when it matters most. In this episode, you'll learn: Why resilience is just as important after success as it is after setbacks. The subtle difference between mental toughness and resilience—and why it matters. How to shift from a fear state to a flow state under pressure. The role of curiosity in replacing judgment and accelerating learning. How sensory triggers and breath work can prime you for peak performance. The measurable impact of technology on training focus and emotional regulation. Why outcome goals and process goals can—and should—work together. Get your pencils ready and start listening. P.S.

Instagram: @thegolfhypnotherapist Twitter: @parsoverbogeys Key Takeaways: Resilience is staying composed regardless of outcome—success can make you complacent, which requires just as much discipline to manage. Mental toughness is overrated. Emotional regulation, self-awareness, and curiosity are more sustainable mental skills. Flow happens when your perceived skill matches the challenge. Fear arises when you perceive the challenge as greater than your ability—even when it's not. You can train flow state through breathwork, anchoring routines, and sensory cues like music, temperature, or feel. Reflection—done without judgment—is essential. Curiosity > criticism. Technology like FocusCalm and Mendi can now measure brainwave activity and train real-time focus. Cold plunges and challenges off the course build resilience you can bring onto the course. It's okay to care about outcome—but learn to measure success through your process. You're good enough. That self-belief is the filter that colors every golf shot. Key Quotes: Resilience isn't just about bouncing back—it's about staying focused when things go well too. Curiosity over critical—that's our mantra for post-shot routines. Flow follows focus. You must train your attention to stay present. You're already good enough. Most golfers don't need more skill—they need more belief. Cold plunges aren't about golf—but they teach you how to do hard things. That transfers. Don't just do a routine because your coach told you to—make sure it gets you calm, confident, and committed.

You may have heard of "impermanence" as an important theme in meditation. In this guided practice, Toby Sola introduces us to the ease of flow state with two simple but profound techniques: exploring impermanence directly by noticing changes in our body sensations, and using labels to hone concentration. Toby Sola is dedicated to helping you create a feedback loop between your meditation practice and your ability to make the world a better place. Toby has been teaching meditation for two decades and has refined his craft through years of monastic training and close collaboration with the world-renowned teacher Shinzen Young. He is an award-winning designer and founder of the Brightmind Meditation app. Note that this meditation includes longer pauses of complete silence to give you time to spend in contemplation and practice the techniques introduced. If you want more time, feel free to pause the recording as you go. The transcription of this guided meditation will be online at Mindful.org next week. Stay curious, stay inspired.

This episode explores the profound mindset shift from "forcing" life to happen to "allowing" it to unfold naturally. Randy introduces the word "allow," inspired by the work of Bob Proctor on avoiding "dis-ease," and discusses the stress, anxiety, and burnout that comes from trying to control every outcome. Randy and Greg share personal stories—from forcing relationships to feeling trapped in unfulfilling jobs—to illustrate the power of letting go. They dive into the concepts of being "in flow," making decisions without the pressure of "right" or "wrong," and how relaxing your grip can paradoxically lead to better ideas and more aligned opportunities. This conversation is a guide to trading the exhausting hustle for a state of calm, ease, and intentional action. Key Takeaways: The feeling of constantly "forcing" things in life can lead to stress, anxiety, and a state of "dis-ease." Shifting your mindset to one of "allowing" involves trusting that things will work out, even if you're not in direct control. Being "in flow" is a state of calm and ease, which often leads to more creative solutions and better outcomes than forcing a result. You can't force inspiration; often, the best ideas come when you relax and allow them to surface. Decisions don't have to be "right" or "wrong." Viewing them as just a choice, and then allowing the next step to reveal itself, removes immense pressure. Your past is a series of decisions that led you to today; you can learn from it, but you don't have to be defined by it. It's not about being 100% "allowing" or 100% "forcing." Life is a fluid blend, and the key is recognizing where you're meeting unnecessary resistance. Questions Answered in This Episode: What does it mean to "allow" life to happen instead of "forcing" it? How can the constant need to force and control outcomes lead to burnout and "dis-ease"? How do you know if you are in a state of "flow"? Why do our best ideas often come to us when we stop trying so hard? How can you make big decisions without the paralyzing fear of making the "wrong" choice? How does forcing a timeline on life (e.g., for marriage, career) create unnecessary stress? What's the difference between taking intentional action and desperately forcing an outcome? How can you apply the concept of "allowing" to your daily life to reduce stress? Key People, Concepts, & Terms: People: Randy Wilson, Greg Junge, Bob Proctor, David Neagle. Concepts: Allowing vs. Forcing, Flow State, Dis-ease (not at ease), Control, Resistance, Acceptance, Decision Making, Hustle Culture.

Send us a textEver wonder why large companies struggle to innovate despite having vast resources at their disposal? According to Andy Binns, co-founder of ChangeLogic and co-author of "Corporate Explorer," we've been looking at innovation all wrong.The secret to corporate innovation isn't hiring outside entrepreneurs or creating flashy innovation labs. It's identifying and empowering the "corporate explorers" already within your organization. These individuals aren't necessarily the loudest or most charismatic people in the room. Often they're humble, introspective problem-solvers with deep institutional knowledge and the social capital to navigate complex organizational systems.Binns challenges our assumptions about innovation, revealing that ideas aren't the problem—most organizations have plenty. The real challenge lies in properly incubating and scaling those ideas. He outlines a three-discipline approach: ideation (understanding customer problems), incubation (experimenting with data-driven learning), and scaling (converting experiments into revenue). While most companies obsess over ideation, the latter two disciplines determine success.Creating separate systems for exploration is crucial. Corporate explorers need protection from the optimization-focused core business, which naturally squashes innovation for efficiency. This doesn't mean relocating to different buildings, but it does require distinct metrics, cultural norms, and management approaches. Surprisingly, special financial incentives aren't necessary to motivate these internal innovators—they're driven by impact, autonomy, and the opportunity to create meaningful change within organizations they care about.For HR leaders, this means rethinking talent identification and development. The approach works for organizations of all sizes, not just corporate giants. By recognizing and empowering your internal explorers, you might discover that large companies actually have advantages over startups in the innovation game.Ready to unleash the innovation potential of your organization? Start by looking within—your next breakthrough innovator is probably already on your payroll.Support the showRebel HR is a podcast for HR professionals and leaders of people who are ready to make some disruption in the world of work.

Leonard sits down with Sebastien Page, bestselling author of The Psychology of Leadership, to explore how sports psychology, mindset, and positive habits can elevate leadership and productivity.

They also examine the surprising science behind social synchronization, strategic patience in decision-making, and how reframing stress can lead to peak performance.

If you've ever struggled with chronic stress, poor sleep, anxiety, or burnout—this episode might just change your life. I'm sitting down with Jim Poole, CEO of NuCalm, to explore the groundbreaking neuroacoustic technology that's helping thousands of people around the world reset their nervous systems—without drugs or side effects.Jim explains how NuCalm works at the intersection of physics, mathematics, and neurobiology, using patented algorithms and biosignal processing to guide the brain into states of deep relaxation.

Send us a textThis episode is a big one.Not because it's packed with strategy, but because it's a full circle moment.After years of teaching flow, embodying flow, qualifying in it, and living it every day… I finally sat down to share what it really looks like behind the scenes. Not just the theory. The truth of how I built my business through it.In this episode, I'm reflecting on the real difference between pushing and flowing, how I've created the most successful year in business yet, and why the instinct that got me here isn't hustle, it's something deeper.We're going beyond the content tips and tactics (even though those are powerful too) and into the heartbeat of how sustainable success actually feels.Grab the Flow Success Instinct PDF and start rewiring your success instinct into something that feels aligned, spacious, and completely yours.Connect with me on Instagram here.
