This week, the world's attention is fixed on Alex Honnold as he prepares for his most public and high-stakes challenge to date: Skyscraper Live on Netflix. This Friday, January 23rd, Alex will attempt to become the first person to free solo the 1,667-foot Taipei 101 in Taiwan, scaling the 101-story landmark live in front of millions.Alex joins us to deconstruct the mindset required to perform when the stakes are literally life or death. He challenges the common perception of his "fearlessness," explaining that his mastery isn't the absence of fear, but the result of a decade of meticulous preparation. Alex dives into the "mental switch" required to transition from the grind of training to the total surrender and trust required during a performance.Key Topics Discussed:The 10-Year Rule: Alex explains why he spent 10 years training for El Capitan, ensuring that by the time he stepped onto the wall without a rope, he felt prepared rather than reckless.Managing Fear: A masterclass in differentiating between founded and unfounded fear, and the process of making "scary" feel "comfortable" through practice and visualisation.The Feeling of Mastery: What it truly looks like to perfectly execute a high-performance taskPreparation and Visualization: Alex reveals his process for visualising failure in graphic detail to ensure he is emotionally prepared for any outcome.Legacy and Life Cycles: Now a father of two, Alex reflects on how his upbringing and perfectionist roots shaped him, and how he balances his pursuit of extreme moments with his responsibilities at home.Alex offers an honest look at what it takes to do the thing you've always wanted to do and answer the question: "What's to lose?".Our Partners: Incogni

Ayao Komatsu is the Team Principal of Haas F1 Team, and one of the most quietly influential leaders in modern Formula 1. Known for his calm authority and clarity under pressure, Ayao has built his career on trust, accountability, and the belief that how you respond to failure matters more than the failure itself.In this episode, Ayao reflects on witnessing Romain Grosjean's Bahrain crash, and what it taught him about survival, perspective, and living fully in the present.

In this conversation, Creighton Bertrand shares his journey into manhood — navigating confusion, responsibility, faith, and identity in a culture that often leaves men without clear direction. We talk about why so many men feel stuck or lost, the cost of avoiding responsibility, and how true masculinity is formed through commitment, discipline, and purpose.

Prince Naseem Hamed is one of boxing's most electrifying figures - a world champion, cultural icon, and a true original who didn't just win fights, but ripped up the manual on how to box. From flying-carpet entrances to impossible knockouts from backwards angles, "Naz" captivated the world with a style and confidence unlike anything the sport had ever seen.In this episode, Prince Naseem sits down with Jake and Damian for a deeply personal and revealing conversation that goes far beyond the highlight reels. He opens up about his greatest regret, the unresolved rift with his legendary trainer Brendan Ingle, and the pain of never being able to reconcile before Brendan's passing. He also explains where his famous self-belief truly came from, sharing how his Islamic faith, daily prayer, and unwavering connection to God formed the foundation of his confidence both in and out of the ring. He breaks down the mental edge that made him unstoppable, from intense visualisation, “seeing it twice” before it happened, to the razor-sharp timing that led to 31 knockouts in 37 fights. This is a rare, raw, and powerful conversation about faith, redemption, identity, and legacy, from a man who didn't just change boxing, but showed the world that greatness can come from anywhere.'GIANT' is now in cinemas, click here to watch the official trailer

What happens when the medical system tells you "there's nothing more we can do" - and you refuse to accept it? In this powerful and deeply personal conversation, I sit down with Dr. Aaron Hartman, family physician turned functional medicine specialist, whose entire medical philosophy changed after his adopted daughter Anna was diagnosed with cerebral palsy and given a hopeless prognosis. Despite being a doctor himself, Aaron watched specialist after specialist offer only medications, surgery, and limitations. But when he and his wife pursued a functional medicine approach - focusing on nutrition, nutrient deficiencies, fatty acids, hormones, and root-cause testing, Anna began to thrive against all odds. In this episode, we explore: The blind spots in the current medical model Why it takes 30 years for research to reach standard care How siloed, symptom-based medicine fails complex patients The power of never giving up, even after devastating diagnoses Why functional medicine focuses on connecting the dots, not chasing symptoms Testing that actually matters: nutrients, fatty acids, organic acids, hormones & more Overtraining, POTS, dysautonomia, hypermobility, and athlete burnout Why recovery, minerals, amino acids, and food-as-medicine are non-negotiable The role of omega-3 and omega-6 balance in inflammation and resilience Dr. Hartman is now the go-to doctor for complex and "uncurable" cases in Central Virginia, helping patients who have fallen through the cracks of conventional care reclaim their health and vitality. We also discuss his new book  UnCurable: From Hopeless Diagnosis to Defying All Odds A moving account of his daughter's story and the transformation of his medical practice. If you've ever been told "this is just how it is",  this conversation will change how you see your body, your health, and what's truly possible. Dr. Hartman's Bio: Dr. Aaron Hartman's functional medicine journey began when traditional healthcare failed Anna, his adopted daughter with cerebral palsy. Despite being a physician, he felt helpless as specialists offered no solutions, only surgery and medications.   Witnessing his daughter's impossible transformation shattered everything Dr. Hartman believed about medicine. This transformed his entire practice of medicine and now he's become the doctor to turn to when all others have given up. He now helps patients reclaim their lives when conventional medicine says "there's nothing more we can do." His new book, "UnCurable: From Hopeless Diagnosis to Defying All Odds," chronicles this transformation. A clinical researcher involved in 70+ studies and VCU Assistant Clinical Professor, he founded Richmond Integrative and Functional Medicine in 2016.

Most golfers (and entrepreneurs) think resilience is willpower—grit, grind, hustle, "just dig deeper."  And under pressure, that approach eventually snaps… In this episode, Matt Caldaroni, CEO and Co-Founder of Molliteum, a performance resilience company, explains why resilience isn't a personality trait—it's a system.  We break down his three-part resilience framework (excitement, certainty, focus), why certainty beats confidence, how to build a pre-performance routine that actually transfers to the course, and why rest isn't laziness—it's how your nervous system locks in skill. In this episode, you'll learn: Why willpower fails when pressure spikes—and what to rely on instead Matt's resilience framework: excitement, certainty, and focus The difference between confidence and certainty (and why it matters) How to build certainty with process visualization + intentional reps Why "flow state" is preparing to let go—not chasing a magic feeling How elite performers detach self-worth from results using standards A simple pre-performance system: breathe, clarify, watch film, visualize Get your pencils ready and start listening.  P.P.S.

Flow state is "preparing to let go," and it starts in practice—not on game day. Confidence is the outcome; certainty creates courage, and courage produces results. Excitement is built from identity + vision + purpose—the "core hunger" system. Certainty requires skill mastery and situational mastery (what to do, when, and how). Most "practice-to-performance" gaps are missing specificity or intensity in practice. Rest and recovery aren't optional—they're how learning integrates into your nervous system. Key Quotes: "Resilience is having the ability to adapt." "You need to build systems to respond to pressure." "Visualizing the process to get the outcome—that works." "Focus is a cherry on top." "It goes certainty, courage, and then confidence." "The higher you go, the more mistakes you're going to make—and you've got to accept that." "Become that person."

What if college admissions isn't about being more impressive, but about being more clear?In this episode, I break down why so many hardworking, high-achieving students are rejected from top colleges, and what actually separates students who get admitted from those who don't.Drawing on recent early-decision results (including acceptances to Yale, Dartmouth, Cornell, and Vanderbilt, plus $100,000 scholarships) I explain the hidden trap families fall into when they chase what they think admissions officers want.You'll learn:Why “doing more” often makes applications weaker, not strongerThe two questions admissions officers are really trying to answerHow the Impressiveness Trap creates noise instead of clarityWhat successful students do differently to become “obvious admits”Why starting earlier (8th–11th grade) dramatically reduces stress and increases optionsI also share details about the upcoming live workshop, Hacking College Admissions, where you can learn how to build a clear, strategic plan that actually works.

We're delighted to welcome back Dr Peter Attia to High Performance, one of the leading voices in modern medicine and longevity. Known for his rigorous, evidence-based approach to health, Peter has built his work around a simple but demanding question: how do we live longer and better?In this episode, Peter dives deep into what truly drives long-term health. He explains why exercise remains non-negotiable, how strength and cardiovascular fitness underpin independence as we age, and why the new wave of metabolic drugs are changing the conversation around heart health, cognition, and disease, without replacing the need for movement and training.Peter also shares how he thinks about aging in practical terms, introducing the idea of “backcasting” from later life to guide the choices we make today. He breaks down which supplements actually matter, why he's sceptical of health fads, and how balance, adaptability, and emotional wellbeing play a bigger role in longevity than most people realise.Grounded, thoughtful, and highly practical, this episode offers a clear framework for protecting your body, your mind, and your quality of life, now and in the decades to come.

What if burnout, overthinking, and emotional exhaustion aren't mindset problems—but system failures?In this powerful episode of Mindset Mastery Moments, Dr. Alisa Whyte sits down with Micov Bogdan, a human system architect who challenges everything we've been taught about healing, performance, and personal growth. This conversation moves beyond motivation and mindset hacks and dives into identity-level transformation—where emotional baggage, internal friction, and subconscious sabotage are not managed, but deleted.You'll hear why coping has become a socially acceptable addiction, how high performers unknowingly use productivity as emotional armor, and why calm—not hustle—is the real power move. This episode exposes why traditional self-help often keeps people stuck in cycles of effort without freedom and what it truly takes to rebuild your internal system from the ground up.If you're high-functioning but exhausted… successful but restless… productive yet unfulfilled—this conversation will disrupt you in the best way.This isn't about doing more. It's about finally removing what no longer belongs.

2026 is underway, and with the new year comes a familiar tradition: making resolutions. Common goals are to read more, eat healthier, start exercising or save more money. But for some, the idea of resolutions has lost its appeal altogether, abandoned amid concerns that goal setting can slip into self-criticism and harm one's mental health. So why are resolutions so hard to keep? Should we be setting goals differently, or adjusting them throughout the year? Is making a plan and sticking to it simply harder than we expect? On Wednesday's "Sound of Ideas," we'll explore those questions with a diverse group of experts who have set ambitious goals and kept them. We'll talk about their views on New Year's resolutions and how they approach goal setting in ways that actually last. Guests:- Adam Borland, Psy.D., Clinical Psychologist, Cleveland Clinic- Katie Spotz, Endurance Athlete, Author- Dameyonna Willis, Executive Director and Founder, Queen IAM- Ricky Smith, Founder, Random Acts of Kindness Everywhere- Lauren Marks, High Performance and Breathwork Life Coach

This episode is brought to you by Timeline, Strong Coffee Company and Fatty15. In this episode of Ever Forward Radio, performance coach Natalie Hummel reframes what it truly means to be a high performer—arguing that excellence isn't built through discipline, talent, or mindset alone, but through nervous system mastery. Natalie explains how fear, pressure, and self-sabotage are not problems to eliminate but sensations to build capacity for, and why separating sensation from story is the key to performing with ease under stress. Together, we will explore identity, upper limits, resilience, flow states, and what high performance looks like in everyday life. This conversation offers a grounded, practical, and deeply human approach to performance—one rooted in presence, self-mastery, and the courage to feel what most people avoid.

Robert Lewandowski is one of the most consistent goal scorers of his generation, a player who has stayed at the very top of world football not just through talent, but through mindset. In this episode, Robert sits down with Jake and Damian to explain why he believes mentality counts for more than physical ability, and how players like Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi have sustained excellence for so long.From losing his father to being released early on, he describes the moments that forced him to build self-belief, resilience, and an uncompromising work ethic. He also talks about adapting as football evolves, learning from different cultures at Bayern Munich and Barcelona, and why even the modern elite, players like Erling Haaland and Harry Kane, can't escape the need for constant growth.Lewandowski explains why he avoids social media, how online judgement impacts younger players, and why protecting mental health is his personal “golden rule.” Drawing on lessons from managers like Jürgen Klopp, Pep Guardiola, Carlo Ancelotti, and Hansi Flick, he shares the core values that have shaped his career: honesty, hard work, and never giving up.This is a rare insight into what it really takes to perform, adapt, and endure at the highest level, without losing yourself along the way.

High performers are often seen as the ones you don't have to worry about. But behind consistent output and quiet competence, there can be early signs of burnout and disengagement. In this episode, Melanie Naranjo joins Karina Young to challenge how companies define top talent and why performance without support leads to retention risk. Melanie, Chief People Officer at Ethena, shares a candid perspective on why high performers need more than praise. They need space to grow, permission to speak up, and help rewiring habits that no longer serve them. Together, they explore how over-reliance on top talent can backfire, why traditional engagement strategies often miss the mark, and what managers can do to spot red flags before it's too late. Melanie also offers clear strategies for re-engaging high performers and building a culture where expectations, accountability, and care go hand in hand. For HR leaders working to retain their best people, it's a compelling reminder: performance doesn't mean immunity. It means opportunity.

Send us a textOn this episode of Leave Your Mark, I'm pleased to welcome Greg Lothian—a man whose life's work has been defined by service, responsibility, and an unwavering commitment to helping others.For nearly three decades, Greg has walked three parallel paths. As an Athletic Therapist and Vitality Coach, he's helped people overcome physical challenges and reclaim their health since 1996. As a firefighter, with 25 years of volunteer and career service, he's shown up for people in moments of real crisis—when presence, courage, and calm matter most. And as a mentor, he supports his children, his clients, and fellow practitioners as they navigate the complexities of work, purpose, and life.Greg is deeply principled. He believes in standing up for what's right—even when the status quo has lost its moral compass—and he holds a clear, grounded view on value: that being compensated well is not only acceptable, but appropriate when it reflects the impact you bring to people's lives.Naturally curious and systems-oriented, Greg has a passion for problem-solving, meaningful conversation, and thoughtful debate. He's endlessly interested in how people think, move, adapt, and change. At the center of it all, he sees parenting as both life's greatest challenge and its greatest privilege—an ongoing balance of structure, mentorship, and the freedom to fail.An unrelenting entrepreneur at heart, Greg is on a mission to elevate standards in the global health industry and help both practitioners and clients achieve outcomes that are not just better—but sustainable.This is a conversation about service, integrity, leadership, and what it really means to make your work—and your life—matter.

In the last few episodes, we've explored the many ways students can lead through innovation, dialogue, and action.We've seen, again and again, that when teens identify their core values and then make a meaningful impact aligned with those values… that's the kind of leadership colleges simply cannot ignore.But today, I want to zoom in on something even more foundational:What does it actually mean to make an impact?When adults talk about impact, it often sounds abstract, almost mysterious.And for teens who are used to classroom projects that stay theoretical, the idea of solving real problems in the real world can feel overwhelming… even scary.The students you're about to hear from — Ava Dinapoli and Aavi Patel — felt all of that.They ran into roadblocks.They doubted themselves.They had to figure things out step by step.But they stayed committed to making the most meaningful impact they could.And because of that persistence… their work is literally saving lives.I hope you listen to their stories and feel as inspired as I am, not only because of the size of their impact, but because of the way they achieved it.They didn't leap into greatness.They moved forward one step at a time, exactly the way any young person can.Let's listen in.-----To register for the Ivy League Challenge, visit our websiteTo follow on Instagram:  @TheIvyLeagueChallengeTo join us on our Facebook group for parents

In this episode, Michael sits down with Steve Tashjian, a world class high performance consultant with a deep background in elite sports. Steve's journey has taken him from physical therapy and performance coaching to high level consulting roles across the Premier League and the US men's national team during their World Cup run. His mission is simple and powerful: help individuals and teams excel in high pressure environments by applying the same systems, preparation, and mindset used at the top levels of global sport. Inside the Premier League Pressure Cooker Michael and Steve explore the intensity of the Premier League, a global powerhouse where fans live and breathe every match and where underperforming teams face immediate consequences through relegation. Michael draws a parallel between the world of professional football and the realities of modern business. Both are unforgiving. Both require consistent high performance. Both reward teams that are disciplined, adaptable, and built on strong systems. Steve reinforces that managing pressure is not a luxury, it is a necessity. Whether you are a Premier League striker or a CEO carrying payroll, the demands are similar. Pressure reveals your habits, exposes your preparation, and tests your ability to stay composed when everything is on the line. Turning Pressure Into a Growth Advantage Michael and Steve dive deep into what separates those who crumble under pressure from those who rise. Drawing from Steve's experience with the national team on the world stage, the lesson is clear: preparation and process win. When everything around you is chaotic, your systems and habits become your anchor. They discuss how organizations of all types can treat pressure as a growth opportunity. High achievers are not born for pressure, they train for it. They rehearse. They refine. They use adversity as data rather than judgment. Michael highlights that leaders who adopt this mindset build teams that are far more resilient and far more adaptable to change. Systems, Structure, and Leadership at Scale The conversation shifts to the backbone of any high performing environment: systems. Michael and Steve explore how elite sports teams like Everton Football Club create frameworks that guide decision making even in constantly changing conditions. When systems are well defined and widely understood, teams can move with speed and clarity, even when the stakes are high. Steve also speaks to the human side of leadership. Biases, emotions, and external pressures often influence decisions more than leaders realize. Great leaders build awareness around these blind spots. They collaborate intentionally. They take smart risks instead of reactive ones. Michael underscores that systems and leadership must coexist. Without systems, leaders get overwhelmed. Without leadership, systems fall flat.

Thomas explains how even highly capable people create unnecessary friction when they rely on their own preferences instead of tuning into the person in front of them.At the centre of the conversation is self-awareness. Thomas shows how understanding your own behavioural style makes it easier to recognise what others need, whether that's clarity, reassurance, inspiration, or detail. When that awareness is missing, conversations stall. When it's present, trust and momentum follow.In this episode, they discuss:Why people misinterpret good intentions so oftenHow different behavioural styles process information and feedbackThe cost of assuming others think like you doSimple ways to adjust your message without losing authenticityWhy asking “How would you like me to go about this?” changes everythingIf you work with people, and especially if you lead them, this episode will sharpen how you listen, how you speak, and how you create alignment without unnecessary tension.
