Today, on Notable Leaders' Radio, I speak with Tony Crescenzo, CEO of Intelligent Waves & Founder of Peak Neuro, LLC. He highlights his compelling journey from a resilient upbringing and military service to pioneering leadership insights and transformative healing with brain-training technology.   In today's episode, we discuss: Remember the importance of "always do the right thing." Tony's grandfather's timeless advice served as his moral compass, guiding him through every personal and business decision. He discovered that by valuing integrity, you foster trust and build a strong, lasting reputation. See adversity as an opportunity to grow and learn. Tony's time in the military, especially the hurdles he faced as his military career came to a close, reminds us how much reputation truly matters. Welcome setbacks as moments to build character and become someone others truly respect and trust. To ease conflicts, try to understand the root of fear rather than just anger. Through his journey with anger, he learned that anger is really fear turned upside down. Embracing this awareness enabled him to transition from fear/anger to compassion and a deeper understanding of himself and others in times of challenge. Consider responding to anger with empathy—it can be a beautiful way to strengthen both your work and personal relationships. Prioritize your sleep and mental health with effective strategies. For instance, Tony saw wonderful improvements in his sleep, memory, and mood by using brainwave entrainment. Taking some proactive steps to care for yourself—such as getting good rest and keeping your mind clear—can truly make a significant difference in your happiness and productivity. Adopt the idea of "generals eat last" as your leadership guiding principle. As Tony beautifully shared, inspiring leaders always put their teams first, creating a warm environment full of trust and stability. When you focus on serving and supporting others, it gently builds loyalty and can significantly lift your team's performance. Embracing this approach can truly make your leadership journey more rewarding and fulfilling! Be open to new modalities of healing. Tony lived with PTSD for 30 years. He believed his anger and stress from his time in the military were a part of him and his life now. It wasn't until he stumbled across a new assistive technology that he learned that was not the case. It is also inspired the creation of PeakNeuro, an AI-enabled platform that uses acoustic audio-entrainment to help veterans and leaders regulate stress, get better sleep, and improve human performance overall through cognitive resilience.

High performance can quietly become survival mode. In this episode, discover why you can't stop striving, how your nervous system equates love with productivity, and how to recalibrate peace as the new signal of safety.If you've ever tried to rest but ended up restless, this episode will meet you where achievement and exhaustion quietly collide.In The Recalibration, Julie Holly explores why high performers struggle to “turn off” even when everything in them craves peace. Drawing from Michael Phelps' post-Olympic crash and the neuroscience of the dopamine loop, Julie reveals how your brain learns to equate love with productivity and motion with safety.This isn't about laziness, burnout, or discipline—it's about wiring.

What can leadership in Formula One teach the rest of us about business transformation? In this episode of the Tech Talks Daily Podcast, I sit down with Seb Sheppard, whose career has taken him from flying helicopters in the Royal Navy to leading engineering teams in Formula One and steering post-merger integrations across multiple industries. His story isn't just one of impressive career shifts but of understanding what truly drives high performance—people, trust, and focus. Seb shares how growing up in Chile and working across different cultures taught him the value of clear communication and empathy in leadership. He explains why protecting technical teams from distractions can often be the most productive thing a leader can do, and how wellbeing initiatives work best when driven by employees themselves rather than top-down policies. Drawing on his time at Alpine F1, he also reveals the delicate balance between cost control and performance improvement, describing how he helped grow the engineering team by a third while staying within strict budget limits. Our conversation also explores the human side of mergers and acquisitions. Seb discusses why integration efforts often fail when companies overlook culture and people, and how proactive communication—long before an announcement is made—can make the difference between success and attrition. He also speaks about the evolving relationship between technology and leadership, explaining how AI can be embraced without losing the human element that drives creativity and trust. If you're a leader facing constant change, this episode is a masterclass in adaptability, humility, and practical wisdom. You'll come away with lessons from both the skies and the racetrack that apply directly to your own teams and projects.

High performers often mistake discipline for proving. This episode explores how to practice without pressure — so you can restore joy, focus, and peace.

You're not afraid of practice — you're afraid of what might happen if you stop.In this episode of The Recalibration, Julie Holly unpacks why even the most dedicated high performers can lose joy when practice turns into proving. Through the lens of neuroplasticity, she explains how your brain learns safety through repetition — not striving — and how to rebuild a rhythm that restores your energy, focus, and identity.You'll learn how to:Recognize when “discipline” has turned into self-protection.Reprogram your nervous system through repetition in safety, not stress.Shift from proving your worth to practicing your peace.Understand why integration doesn't slow you down — it compounds your impact.Lead teams where growth flows from trust, not tension.Drawing from the later chapters of Tiger Woods' comeback, Julie shows what it looks like to return to mastery with humility, peace, and gratitude. His quiet strength reminds us that excellence doesn't disappear when pressure is released — it deepens.This isn't mindset work. It's Identity-Level Recalibration (ILR) — the psychology-backed, faith-rooted pathway that begins with the who, not just the how. It's not another strategy. It's the smallest internal shift that changes everything.Today's Micro Recalibration:“Practice becomes worship when peace is your measure of success.”And if you lead a team, bring this to your next meeting:“What if growth didn't come from pressure, but from safety?”Integration begins when you remember — peace isn't passive.

"He doesn't want to talk about what I'm trying to do. He wants to talk about how He sees me and transfer His picture from heaven of me into my heart."—Tony StoltzfusSHOW NOTES EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS Your identity in Christ isn't a future promise; it's a present reality seen from heaven's timeline. The most profound prayers focus on receiving God's image of you, not managing your earthly ministry. Discipline fueled by shame/guilt is an idol; Desire fueled by relationship is the path to true change. A clear picture of heaven prevents you from making idols out of earthly people or possessions, as they can't compare to eternal fulfillment. "The questions that I was asking were all about the business of being a Christian. They weren't about the relationship... And what I wasn't asking is, Jesus, what do you think of me?" —Tony Stoltazfus

High performers often confuse pressure with purpose. In this episode, discover how to sustain excellence without exhaustion — by moving from proving to offering, and from performance to presence. Real mastery starts in peace, not pressure.What if your drive to be excellent was never the problem — only the pressure beneath it?In this episode of The Recalibration, Julie Holly guides high-capacity humans through the liberation that follows burnout recovery: learning to sustain high performance without exhaustion.Drawing from psychology, neuroscience, and Stoic philosophy, Julie explores how integration transforms performance from protection to expression. You'll uncover how your nervous system, identity, and behavior can finally operate in alignment — where your pace is still full, but your spirit isn't frantic.Featuring insights from Marcus Aurelius, the philosopher-emperor who modeled excellence anchored in virtue rather than validation, this episode reminds us that real mastery flows from peace, not pressure.“He didn't lead by dominance — he led by devotion. His discipline wasn't about control; it was about alignment.”Julie unpacks why so many high performers still love the pace — yet quietly fear slowing down will make life boring or cost them success. She reframes this illusion through the lens of Identity-Level Recalibration (ILR): when you create from overflow, your pace can remain full, but your energy finally becomes sustainable.Inside this conversation, you'll discover:Why excellence without identity becomes exhaustion — and how to reclaim it.The neuroscience of integration — how your brain transforms pressure into presence.Why you can love the pace but no longer be powered by proving.How peace doesn't diminish productivity — it refines it.What it means to lead like Marcus Aurelius: anchored, awake, and aligned.Today's Micro Recalibration:“Devotion is excellence without desperation.”Team Extension:Ask your team: “What does excellence look like when it's rooted in presence, not pressure?”Because The Recalibration isn't another mindset tactic or performance hack. It's the root-level recalibration that makes every other tool finally work again.If this episode gave you language you've been missing, please rate and review the show so more high-capacity humans can find it.

A historic medal haul rarely happens by accident. We unpack how Brazil engineered four finalists and two world titles through clear planning, ruthless scouting, and conditioning that didn't fade in the final minute. Maria's long-awaited women's world crown set the tone; Enrike's rise from a turbulent home environment to world champion showed what happens when talent meets structure and belief. The thread through each story is the same: know the bracket, know yourself, and perform when it counts.We also face the tougher side of the sport: when a program with resources under-delivers. The U.S. finished 20th and still blasted “dominance” in a newsletter. That disconnect matters. We talk about the decisions behind the scenes—who sits in the chair, how prep camps are run, how personal coaches and national staff are used, and why accountability at the top shapes everything on the mat. If athletes are judged by results, leadership should be too. Culture isn't hashtags in the holding area; it's what you do under pressure and how you represent your teammates when the cameras aren't rolling.Rules and tech didn't help. Referees were told to “let them fight,” but holding went unpunished and video review for head shots disappeared, returning power to inconsistent judgment. That's not modernizing; that's muddling. We dig into what fair, watchable Taekwondo should reward and why development pathways must stay open—especially as champions skew younger. Tunisia and Iran offered bright examples of pipelines that translate fast to the senior podium.If you care about high performance, athlete-first systems, and a sport that looks like Taekwondo again, this one is a must-listen. Subscribe, share with a coach or teammate, and leave a review with the one change you'd implement tomorrow.

You can be passionate about your exercise or sport, and still burn out from it. Have you ever pushed yourself so hard to “do better” or beat a personal best, that the joy disappeared? For many perfectionistic or ADHD minds, exercise can be too much of a good thing, so how to balance that is exactly what this episode unpacks. In this episode of the Pause Purpose Play podcast, Clinical Psychologist Michaela Thomas speaks with Dr. Josephine Perry, Chartered Sport and Exercise Psychologist, about the complex relationship between ADHD, high performance, and perfectionism in sport and exercise. Together, they explore how the drive for achievement can become both a strength and a struggle — especially for those with busy, high-achieving minds. Whether you're an athlete, a coach, or someone using exercise to manage ADHD, this conversation offers insights into balancing motivation, wellbeing, and self-compassion. Dr. Perry shares her practical ‘coins system' for tracking energy expenditure and understanding when you're pushing too hard, offering strategies to prevent burnout, injury, and loss of joy in movement. Michaela brings her signature compassionate approach to exploring how ADHD traits such as hyperfocus, impulsivity, and perfectionism can show up in exercise habits — and how to turn these into sources of balance and fulfilment instead of exhaustion. You'll hear: How ADHD and perfectionism affect motivation, recovery, and performance The fine line between discipline and overtraining Why self-compassion is the missing piece for sustainable success How societal pressures and body image ideals shape our relationship with sport Ways to bring more joy, purpose, and play into your training or movement routines About the Guest Dr Josephine Perry is a chartered Sport and Exercise Psychologist who works with high performers in sport, stage and a range of sectors where people will be working outside of their comfort zones. She specialises in those struggling with performance anxiety and those who have ADHD. She is the author of 6 books including Performing Under Pressure, I Can: The teenage athlete's guide to mental fitness and, most recently, ADHD in Sport: Strategies for Success.

Burnout recovery for high performers begins here. Discover why success fatigue and performance pressure aren't personal flaws—but signs of identity misalignment. Learn how to recalibrate before exhaustion becomes your normal.Even the strongest leaders reach a breaking point when excellence becomes identity. In this episode of The Recalibration, Julie Holly unpacks the hidden cost of high performance — how burnout, success fatigue, and emotional exhaustion are not signs of weakness but symptoms of misalignment.Through the lens of predictive processing, Julie explores why your brain equates slowing down with danger — and how to teach it that peace is safe again. When productivity becomes protection, rest feels risky. But exhaustion isn't failure — it's feedback.Drawing from the story of Tiger Woods, Julie illustrates what happens when discipline turns to dependence — when the very excellence that built success begins to erode the self beneath it. You'll learn why high-capacity humans often mistake depletion for devotion, and how to reclaim excellence as an expression of identity, not a substitute for it.This episode weaves together psychology, neuroscience, and faith to reveal a deeper truth: You've been loving people through your excellence. Now, you're invited to love them through your presence.Inside this conversation, you'll discover:Why burnout recovery begins at the identity level — not in your calendar or habits.How predictive processing keeps you overperforming long after your peace runs out.The difference between devotion and depletion — and how to recognize when one has disguised itself as the other.Why rest feels unsafe, and how to retrain your nervous system to experience stillness as security.The spiritual reality of presence over performance — that your worth was never meant to hang on what you produce.Today's Micro Recalibration:“I no longer mistake depletion for devotion.”If you lead others, bring this to your next conversation:“What part of our culture rewards depletion as proof of dedication?”Because collective burnout isn't about weak people — it's about misaligned patterns.This episode reminds you that The Recalibration isn't another mindset tactic or productivity strategy. It's the root-level recalibration that makes every other tool finally work again.If this episode gave you language you've been missing, please rate and review the show so more high-capacity humans can find it.

Are you showing up as your full, authentic self or just the version you think others expect?Authenticity isn't a matter of oversharing or saying whatever's on your mind.

When high performance stops feeling fulfilling, it's not burnout—it's identity drift. This episode explores why success feels empty and how to recalibrate your worth beyond what you produce, so peace becomes your new definition of progress.When you've done everything “right” but fulfillment still feels out of reach, you're not broken—you're misaligned.In this week's opening episode of The Recalibration, Julie Holly unpacks what happens when achievement becomes identity—and why high performers can feel drained even when everything looks right. Drawing from Sheryl Sandberg's real-life awakening, she reveals how high performance can subtly fuse self-worth with productivity, creating quiet exhaustion masked as success.This conversation bridges burnout recovery, decision fatigue, and spiritual exhaustion into one clear insight: you're not tired from doing too much; you're tired from being too much of what the world rewards and not enough of who you really are.Through the lens of psychology (identity fusion), faith (you were chosen before you contributed), and embodied restoration, Julie guides you toward a grounded truth: when success stops feeling good, it's not failure—it's feedback.This episode marks the beginning of a deeper recalibration—where performance no longer defines you, and peace becomes your new metric for progress.The Recalibration is not another mindset tactic—it's the root-level, identity-first transformation that makes every other tool work again.Today's Micro Recalibration: Pause after a win—big or small—and ask yourself, “Can I let this be enough, or am I already reaching for the next thing?” You don't need to fix it—just notice it. That pause is the first thread of peace returning.If this episode gave you language you've been missing, please rate and review the show so more high-capacity humans can find it.

Drawing on conversations with high performers and adventurers like Damian Browne—who rowed solo from New York City to Ireland with no prior rowing experience—you'll hear how the real victory lies in self-realization and inner peace, not outcomes or applause.Damian's story reveals a sharper, more useful definition of success: one measured by honesty, courage, and connection. Each day becomes a chance to learn who you are under pressure, to refine your process, and to serve from a place of clarity instead of fear.Ryan breaks down how to operationalize this mindset so it shows up in your calendar, not just your journal:Simple, daily commitments aligned with your core valuesHonest reflection to uncover blind spotsSmall, consistent actions that build inner freedomWhen fear stops driving your choices, confidence becomes durable—carried across seasons, goals, and setbacks.Thank you for tuning in!

Most people romanticize mastery.They talk about "grit" and "passion" and "work ethic," but avoid the uncomfortable truth:Mastery is build by failing-- over and over again. In public, in private, both big and small failures. Failure is followed by recovery and reflection and leveling up.In this recording, you can hear me teaching this idea to my students in the Global Impact Council, which is our internal teen mentoring program. Enjoy the call!-----To register for the Ivy League Challenge, visit our websiteTo follow on Instagram:  @TheIvyLeagueChallengeTo join us on our Facebook group for parents

High performance and faith often collide, leaving you spiritually exhausted. In this episode, Julie Holly reveals how to move from doing for God to walking with Him — and why your worth was never in your work, but in His workmanship.High performers don't usually think of themselves as performers — especially in faith. But for many, excellence in leadership has quietly merged with striving in spirituality.In this week's Sunday Vertical Integration episode, Julie Holly helps high-capacity humans uncover the difference between doing for God and being with God. Through Matthew 11:28–30 (NLT) and Psalm 127:1, she reframes the exhaustion so many faith-driven achievers feel — the weight of devotion turned into duty.You'll discover how to separate obedience from overextension, and how recalibration restores your ability to lead with peace, not pressure. This episode speaks directly to the high performer's hidden fear: that slowing down might mean losing their edge.As Julie shares from her own story — replacing communion with contribution, and learning to rest inside God's delight — you'll realize that intimacy with the Sovereign isn't measured by what you produce but by how much room you give Him to be with you.This isn't mindset work or productivity theory. It's Identity-Level Recalibration — the root-level alignment that makes every other spiritual, emotional, and leadership tool finally work again.You'll walk away with practical, faith-centered insight for burnout recovery, spiritual exhaustion, and decision fatigue — anchored in one truth: You were never called to perform for God, only to partner with Him.Today's Micro Recalibration:“If I believed the Sovereign already delights in me, how would I lead differently?”Let that question become your quiet leadership audit today. When you lead from delight, peace becomes your power.Semantic Keyword Clusters Included:high performance, burnout recovery, decision fatigue, success fatigue, role confusion, spiritual exhaustion, identity misalignment, identity drift, belonging, faith-based leadership, presence over performance, grace, stewardship, peace, leadership recalibration, wholenessNamed Entities Referenced:Jesus (Matthew 11:28–30, NLT)Psalm 127:1 (NLT)If this episode gave you language you've been missing, please rate and review the show so more high-capacity humans can find it.

When excellence flows from identity instead of adrenaline, peace and progress can finally coexist.Through story work, nervous system insight, and practical reflection, you'll see how to step out of the exhaustion loop—without losing your edge.

From the family messages of “Be the best” and “Don't fail,” to the cultural scripts that say worth equals output, this episode exposes the deeper narratives driving exhaustion.You'll learn how story work bridges behavior and belief—and why adding more habits or hacks won't heal the root cause of burnout or performance pressure. Drawing on psychological insight and nervous system science, Julie explains how these unconscious stories become embodied patterns: you produce to stay safe, prove to stay seen, and protect to stay in control.Through Identity-Level Recalibration (ILR)—the psychology-backed, faith-rooted pathway that realigns identity at the root—you'll discover how to retrain your body to experience stillness as safety.

Big goals shouldn't feel like hauling a suitcase of rocks up a hill.We're talking about how ambitious people accidentally strap on extra weight with the wrong scorecard - chasing outcomes, timelines, and approval - when the real leverage lives in daily process, commitment to daily work, clear systems, and consistent action.Today, I'm walking you through a practical high-performance exercise that reframes control, so you can stop measuring what you don't own and start optimizing the inputs you do.We dig into concrete examples across life and work: training vs winning, habits vs goals, preparation vs luck, and systems vs willpower. On the communication and leadership side, we unpack speaking clearly vs being understood, authenticity vs approval, boundaries vs reactions, and decision quality vs outcome certainty. In creative strategy, we anchor on experimentation, iteration, and feedback instead of perfection and prediction, showing how curiosity and small learning loops speed up real progress and reduce burnout.We'll finish with 2 grounding questions that tie it all together, 2 questions you must ask yourself whenever life, goals and work feel heavy.If you're feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or judged by an external scoreboard, this conversation gives you a lighter way to travel - focused, energized, and resilient over the long haul.If the episode resonates, follow the show, share it with a friend who's chasing something big, and leave a quick review to help others find it.Then tell me: what controllable input will you commit to this week?Also, try my new GPT - Negative Self-Talk Trainer: https://chatgpt.com/g/g-68f9e96bb94c81918b16bc403c31adfe-self-talk-trainer  Text Me Your Thoughts and IdeasSupport the showBrought to you by Angela Shurina Behavior-First, Executive, Leadership and Optimal Performance Coach 360, Change Leadership & Culture Transformation Consultant

Together, we engage in a power discussion to unpack what truly separates high performers from the rest—how to release subconscious resistance, redefine balance, and access peak states on demand.

Build a non-variance win: Add a weekly pursuit (gym, BJJ, etc.) with incremental progress so your self-worth isn't hostage to poker/golf/markets. Calendar = truth: Audit your week. If sleep, family, training, and mindset work aren't scheduled, your goals are fantasy. Clear the landmines first: Use hypnosis/subconscious work to neutralize old emotional triggers so you're not "driving with the brakes on." Identity follows behavior: List what the best in your field do, mark what you're avoiding, and face those reps—belief grows after action. Indecision is ego-protection: Not deciding preserves the story "I'd win if I tried." Decide, act, and let data reshape the story. Presence beats anger: Elite performance (golf, trading, UFC, business) comes from calm focus and recovery skills—not rage or intensity. Key Quotes: "If you know what to do and can't bring yourself to do it, you don't need a strategy coach—you need a mindset coach." "Balance isn't a weakness. It's a performance enhancer." "You can't separate who you are off the course from who shows up on the course." "Indecision is ego protection—it lets you believe you'd succeed if you tried." "Fear of failure and fear of success both whisper the same lie: I'm not enough." "Our work as coaches is to file down the edges of the cube until it rolls smoothly—until you're in flow." "You are not your issues. They're learned patterns—and they can be unlearned."

High performance can look powerful but quietly cost you peace. In this episode, Julie Holly reveals the emotional and relational toll of over-performance—and how recalibration helps you produce from peace, not pressure.What happens when the traits that built your success start to break your peace?In this episode of The Recalibration, Julie Holly exposes the quiet emotional and relational toll of high performance—how the same drive that built your reputation can slowly erode your rest, relationships, and sense of self.High-capacity humans often wonder why they can't stop striving even when the work is done. It's not weakness; it's wiring. Through the lens of Identity-Level Recalibration (ILR)—the psychology-backed, faith-rooted pathway that restores alignment at the root—Julie unpacks how the nervous system learns to equate safety with output.Listeners will see themselves in the loop of Produce → Prove → Protect → Repeat, a cycle that turns excellence into exhaustion. You'll learn how to break free from performance-based safety, why the body forgets how to receive, and how rest can become trust instead of threat.Drawing from psychological insight, lived experience, and faith-informed wisdom, Julie helps you recognize the moment overperformance shifts from protection to depletion—and how recalibration makes excellence sustainable again. Because you don't have to lose what you've built to regain your peace. You just have to learn to rest inside your strength.The Recalibration isn't therapy or mindset work—it's the smallest internal shift that changes everything. It's not about doing less—it's about doing what's yours, from who you truly are.Today's Micro Recalibration:“Where am I still producing from pressure instead of peace?” Pause and notice what rises when you ask that question.

High performers know pressure well—but peace is the real advantage. This episode reveals how to keep your excellence without exhaustion, and why performance is no longer who you are—it's a tool you use.What happens when excellence becomes exhaustion? In this episode of The Recalibration, Julie Holly explores the hidden edge of high performance—how to honor the drive that built your success while releasing the pressure that's been quietly costing your peace.High-capacity humans often carry an invisible burden: success that feels heavy. You've mastered focus, discipline, and devotion—but sustaining it has started to feel like survival. Julie unpacks why that happens through the lens of Identity-Level Recalibration (ILR)—the psychology-backed, faith-rooted pathway that transforms performance from pressure into peace.Through story work and neuroscience, Julie explains how misalignment at the identity level keeps the nervous system locked in output mode, confusing productivity with safety. She draws from history and culture—Leonardo da Vinci, Walt Disney, and Serena Williams—to show how mastery without margin eventually breaks down, and why true brilliance requires rhythm, not nonstop output.Listeners will learn that excellence isn't something to escape—it's something to steward. You don't need to dismantle your drive; you just need to direct it. Because performance is no longer who you are—it's a tool you use.ILR isn't another mindset tactic or productivity hack—it's the root-level recalibration that makes every other tool effective again.Today's Micro Recalibration:“Where has my gift for excellence become a grip?” Pause and notice where your strength is trying to control instead of contribute. Awareness is the first step toward sustainable mastery.If this episode gave you language you've been missing, please rate and review the show so more high-capacity humans can find it.

High performance feels powerful—until it starts to cost your peace. In this episode, Julie Holly unpacks why success can feel heavy, how story work reveals hidden pressure, and how recalibration restores sustainable excellence without losing your edge.High performance isn't the problem—it's who's driving it.In this opening episode of Season Three of The Recalibration, Julie Holly explores what happens when the same discipline and devotion that built your success start working against your peace. Many high performers quietly carry burnout, decision fatigue, and a loss of joy behind the veneer of achievement.Drawing from psychology, faith, and story work, Julie reveals how narrative reinforcement—the brain's way of protecting identity—can keep high-capacity humans stuck in cycles of striving. She shares how reframing performance through Identity-Level Recalibration (ILR) transforms pressure into peace. This isn't mindset work or productivity hacking—it's the root-level recalibration that makes every other tool finally work again.You'll also hear how Serena Williams embodied this shift, moving from proving to peace: learning to “trust her preparation instead of her push.” And through Matthew 11:28-30 (NLT), Julie reminds faith-rooted listeners that the Sovereign never called them to exhaustion—but to excellence through ease.
