Podcasts about high performers

Do you ever start a new year or goal feeling motivated and clear, only to find yourself burned out or back at square one a few weeks later? In this episode, we break down the 3 patterns that separate leaders who sustain results from those who keep starting over. You'll learn: ✅ Why your health struggles aren't a discipline problem, but a self-leadership gap ✅ Why goals don't stick for high performers ✅ How focusing only on results or "winging it" keeps you stuck ✅ What leaders who thrive long-term do differently This episode will hekp you create a clear blueprint for an extraordinary year of health, energy, and growth... without burnout. Tune in and learn how to lead yourself first so you can finally make results stick. Highlights The 3 hidden patterns that cause high-performing leaders to burn out or keep starting over with their health goals. Why discipline and consistency aren't the real problem—and how self-leadership is the missing skill. The difference between outcome-focused, process-focused, and identity-based change (and why identity is the key to results that stick). How "winging it" creates decision fatigue—and why leaders who sustain results rely on structure and systems instead of motivation. How to build a clear, identity-driven blueprint for an extraordinary year of health, energy, and growth without burnout.

The new year hype is gone — and what's left is the truth.In this episode of The MindShare Podcast, David Greenspan doesn't offer tactics, frameworks, or motivation. Instead, he puts listeners in front of a mirror with seven uncomfortable questions that expose where agents, brokerages, and the industry itself are drifting.Recorded ahead of moderating a private dinner for high-level leaders, this episode explores what really determines who survives the next decade in real estate — and who becomes replaceable by technology, portals, or apathy.David unpacks:Who the real “enemy” of the industry will be in 10 yearsHow lowered standards quietly erode public trustThe behaviours that poison the well for everyoneWhat high performers do differently when nobody's watchingThe emotional weight people keep carrying instead of confrontingWhy distractions often protect us from harder decisionsHow to define a successful day before looking at the numbers00:00 – IntroWhy this episode isn't hype, tactics, or answers03:10 – Who Does the Industry Hate in 10 Years?Technology, attention, and being easy to replace10:45 – What Standard Cheapens the Profession?How erosion happens quietly — and why silence is costly17:30 – What Behaviour Lowers the Bar for Everyone?Why consumer trust is shared, not individual25:40 – Sponsor BreakKiTS Keep-in-Touch Systems & REM Real Estate Magazine28:00 – What Do You Respect in High Performers?The traits that last when flash fades35:10 – If 20% Disappeared Tomorrow…Emotional weight, misalignment, and hard decisions avoided43:30 – What Distraction Protects You?How convenience becomes the enemy of progress50:10 – How Do You Know It Was a Good Day?Building an internal scoreboard that keeps you grounded56:30 – Final Action Sequence & Close

Most people think attachment is dedication. In reality, it's often fear wearing a productive mask. In this episode, Lori and I talk about why detachment is one of the most powerful skills you can build as a high performer and the 4 areas where attachment quietly sabotages your growth. I share a pivot that could've ended one of our biggest ventures if I had stayed married to the original plan. Lori also opens up about releasing the need to be seen and how that shift changed everything. Tune in and learn how letting go is the fastest way to move forward.   HIGHLIGHTS Why "unattachment" is your greatest business superpower. How detachment saved our $2.5M Fintech mission when we were told we couldn't launch. The leadership shift that comes from letting go of credit. Worrying about what it looks like to others leads to bad decisions. Letting go of timelines so you stop living in waiting energy. How detachment frees you from anxiety, comparison, and "needy" energy.   RESOURCES Apply for the Elite Entrepreneur Mastermind HERE!

If your business dies the moment you take a week off, you have a job rather than an asset, and this is why high performers burn out. They teach a client everything they know for a one-time fee, only for that client to walk away.Because you only got paid once, you try to find another person with the right personality and skills to teach every few months to stay afloat. It also prevents you from sharing the long-term rewards of the success you create in others.But what if there's a business model where you can be a mentor who gets rewarded for the ongoing success of your team?In this Diamond Life Mentor Uncut episode, Balazs W Kardos shares how high performers burnout and what to do to manage it with a dream team where everybody wins.You will hear powerful insights and motivation around:Leveling up your business partnersTargeting high-level business ownersWhy high performers burn outMaking residual income in network marketingFinding the right people with their pain points and skillsCreating a sustainable business modelTwo of Balazs W Kardos' strategies are joining a high-ticket and sustainable business and partnering with people who have relevant skills and community.Once you choose the high-ticket network marketing model and work smart for three to five years, showing up becomes more optional than a requirement because your team duplicates your systems. You earn the right to pick when you want to be visible, and you grow your income from the residual impact you have made on a large group of successful people."Continue that same hustle, work hard, be smart, build your business for three to five years, and then everything becomes optional. - Balazs W Kardos"Your current business model is the reason you have no time.

What if feeling energized, fit, and disciplined on the outside was quietly masking stress, oxidative damage, and long-term burnout on the inside?     On today's Unsolved Health Mystery Case, I sit down with Troy Casey to review his Minerals & Metals Test and uncover what his labs reveal beneath the surface.     Despite a clean diet, consistent movement, fasting, and high-performance habits, Troy's results show clear patterns of elevated stress response, oxidative load, and a more catabolic state, all common in driven, high-output individuals.     Together, we break down how chronic stress, long-term fasting, and constant energy expenditure can deplete mineral reserves, strain the nervous system, and quietly accelerate aging, even when someone appears healthy and symptom-free.     We discuss why mineral ratios tell a far deeper story than individual nutrient levels, how these imbalances impact hormones, brain health, and recovery, and what it really takes to balance performance with longevity.     So join me on today's Cabral Concept 3644 to discover what your own labs may be revealing about stress, fueling, recovery, and long-term vitality, and how shifting from constant output to sustainable balance can protect your health for decades to come.     Enjoy the show!   - - -   For Everything Mentioned In Today's Show: StephenCabral.com/3644 - - - Get a FREE Copy of Dr. Cabral's Book: The Rain Barrel Effect - - - Join the Community & Get Your Questions Answered: CabralSupportGroup.com - - - Dr. Cabral's Most Popular At-Home Lab Tests: > Complete Minerals & Metals Test (Test for mineral imbalances & heavy metal toxicity) - - - > Complete Candida, Metabolic & Vitamins Test (Test for 75 biomarkers including yeast & bacterial gut overgrowth, as well as vitamin levels) - - - > Complete Stress, Mood & Metabolism Test (Discover your complete thyroid, adrenal, hormone, vitamin D & insulin levels) - - - > Complete Food Sensitivity Test (Find out your hidden food sensitivities) - - - > Complete Omega-3 & Inflammation Test (Discover your levels of inflammation related to your omega-6 to omega-3 levels) - - - Get Your Question Answered On An Upcoming HouseCall: StephenCabral.com/askcabral - - - Would You Take 30 Seconds To Rate & Review The Cabral Concept?

If you've ever felt like you're doing too much for your team or you have to this episode is for you. In today's conversation, I'm walking through one of the most common challenges high-performing leaders face: unintentionally becoming the bottleneck. Even when your intentions are good (and they usually are), it's easy to slip into habits that limit your team's growth and drain your time and energy. We'll dig into: ✔️ The difference between empowering your team and rescuing them ✔️ What it actually looks like to build ownership and accountability ✔️ How to shift from "I'll just do it" to sustainable delegation ✔️ Simple language swaps that create more buy-in and less burnout ✔️ Why psychological safety is the secret to better performance ✔️ And how to align your vision so the team isn't always waiting on you This is about reclaiming your time for higher-level thinking while developing a team that owns the mission, not just their to-do list.  Whether you're leading one person or a team of 50, these strategies will help you stop doing it all and start leading in a way that's sustainable, effective, and energizing.   Here are the some great resources I wanted to share with you: Apply for 1:1 Coaching https://www.mollyasplin.com/subscribe molly@mollyasplin.com Follow Me on Instagram Growth Day App - 7 Day Free Trial   Are you looking to improve performance and team effectiveness across your team?

Radical Clarity isn't about doing more; it's about deciding what actually matters. In this episode of Endurance Minded, Taylor explores why so many high performers feel exhausted, stuck, or restless even when life looks full on paper. From endurance sport to leadership to everyday life, we break down how lack of clarity quietly drains energy, increases stress, and fragments focus. This conversation is an invitation to slow down, audit your current season, and reclaim your endurance by aligning effort with what deserves it most.To apply to the Growth Circle, TEC's Business Accelerator Program for health and fitness entrepreneurs, click the link. https://app.thomasendurancecoaching.com/the-growth-circle The Business of Coaching Newsletter - https://taylor75.substack.com/

For a long time, being in rooms (masterminds, events, paid groups) were incredibly valuable for me. That's where relationships were built, perspective expanded, and a lot of growth came from. But lately, I've been wrestling with whether that value still outweighs the cost—time, energy, relationships, broken routines, stepping away from the business, and more. And I know I'm not the only entrepreneur who struggles with this. That's why I'm sharing this unreleased, behind-the-scenes footage from my interview with Stu McLaren. In it, Stu explains the exact rules he's put in place to keep himself from being pulled in a hundred different directions when everything looks like a good opportunity. For him, this was critical, because without those rules, he knew he'd end up making WAY more money as an entrepreneur, but only at the cost of his family.  This conversation completely reframed how I decide what to say yes to. And I think it'll resonate if you're wrestling with the same thing. Enjoy!   Key Takeaways (00:00) Intro (01:00) Is Being In the Room Still Worth It?

Weston Kieschnick has been in the work for a long time—as a classroom teacher, coach, author, and speaker—and this conversation feels like two colleagues reconnecting around what actually drives performance.We dig into Weston's newest work and the idea that the gap between high performers and underachievers usually isn't talent. It's behavior—especially in the moments when adversity hits.In this episode, we explore:Why “hidden work” is the difference-maker when no one is watchingThe four performance pitfalls that derail people at every level:BlameExcusesSelf-deceptionGiving upThe flips that top performers lean into instead:OwnershipSolutionsTruthGritA Shark Tank green-room story with Barbara Corcoran that perfectly frames ownership vs. blameWhy feedback is the raw material for performance—and how self-deception blocks growthWeston's take on “growability” and why self-awareness matters more than skill levelHow Weston is leaning into leadership right now: staying a learner, and learning from great leaders in every spaceKey takeawayWhen life gets hard, your default matters. You don't rise to the level of your goals—you fall to the level of your patterns.

Do you keep "restarting" your fitness... only to fall off again a few weeks later? If you're a high performer who knows what it feels like to be in shape but can't seem to regain consistency, this episode is for you. In today's conversation, Brian breaks down the real reason discipline, motivation, and extreme plans keep failing, and why restarting from who you used to be is sabotaging your progress. You'll learn how ego-driven expectations create the high-performer doom loop and what it actually takes to rebuild momentum from your current reality. We introduce a simple, sustainable framework to help you meet yourself where you are and build consistency that survives real life. Tune in to reset your approach, regain confidence, and start building fitness habits that truly last.

Let me describe someone you probably manage right now: she's brilliant, creative, and a pattern recognizer, but she's also... a lot. She might have 17 browser tabs open, interrupt enthusiastically in meetings, or struggle with "simple" expense reports while crushing complex strategy. You might be thinking she just needs better time management or executive presence, but what if I told you that isn't a performance issue? In this episode—which I'm thinking of calling "Squirrel"—we are talking about late-diagnosed ADHD, the invisible disability hiding in plain sight among your highest performers. In this episode I'm discussing the "neurospicy" talent hiding in plain sight and why what looks like burnout is actually unsupported neurodivergence. I'm sharing my own journey of being diagnosed at 42, so tune in as we explore how to stop trying to "fix" the humans and start fixing the systems instead. Stacie More episodes at StacieBaird.com.

Are you stuck in the trap of doing everything yourself? In this episode, Ben Harris joins Cameron Christiansen and Anthony Faso to discuss the key to achieving higher levels of productivity and success. Ben, a seasoned entrepreneur and expert in helping high performers scale their businesses, shares his insights on how delegation is not just about getting rid of tasks, but about building a system that maximizes time, effort, and resources. Ben explains why high performers often confuse activity with progress and how real growth comes from leveraging other people's skills. He mentions the mistakes many entrepreneurs make when they start delegating, and offers practical advice to overcome them.  Whether you're a business owner or someone seeking to optimize your workflow, you'll hear how Ben's approach has helped countless clients build systems that work for them.

On this episode of The A Game Podcast: Real Estate Investing for Entrepreneurs, Nick Lamagna sits down with Din Thomas — UFC pioneer, elite coach, commentator, storyteller, comedian, actor, and one of the most unique minds in the fight game by building skills not excuses. Din is the definition of reinvention. From early MMA days and building a life through grit and constant pivots, to coaching world-class athletes (including champions like Amanda Nunes) and becoming a standout voice in combat sports media, Din breaks down what it really takes to succeed when the path isn't clear and he is proof that legends aren't born, they're molded—in backyards and barber shops with VHS tapes and a whole lot of grit. He went from a former barber to cell phone activator to fighter and is a martyr for amateur mma in Florida even getting put in a cage for having people fight in one before it was a sanctioned thing!  He made a bold decision to bet on himself leaving the well known ATT gym in Florida and went solo to follow his own vision for athletes he can mold and has made quite a name for himself as he went from the fighter to the coach and the business man now coaching up and comers and champions. You can find him everywhere including behind the mic on UFC BJJ events, Karate Combat events, behind the desk at UFC events and on Dana White's Looking for a fight with Matt Serra.  Please welcome a true MMA original,  the fighter, the philosopher, the master of reinvention This conversation is packed with practical takeaways for entrepreneurs, investors, athletes, and anyone chasing personal growth: ✅  How mental toughness is built (not inherited) — and how to develop grit through "small bites" and patience ✅  Why decision-making is the ultimate success skill in business, investing, and fighting ✅  The real secret behind top performers: saying "yes" fast, then adapting and pivoting when needed ✅  How to handle feedback and criticism without ego — and use it as fuel to grow ✅  Why social media can be a competitive disadvantage — and how Din protects his focus ✅  Communication, performance, and confidence: how Din used skills like acting/improv to level up in life and career ✅  Betting on yourself: leaving comfort, creating space, and letting the next opportunity find you Whether you're building wealth through real estate investing, scaling a business, trying to get your mindset right, or you're a UFC/MMA/Jiu-Jitsu fan who loves the behind-the-scenes journey of champions — this episode delivers.

High performers don't drift into great years, they create them through clarity, standards, and better decisions. In this episode of The Kirk Miller Podcast, Kirk breaks down the power of asking better questions and why the quality of your questions often determines the quality of your results.

High performers often experience burnout and role confusion not because they're broken, but because they learned to split themselves to stay effective. This episode explores why that adaptation formed—and how integration brings relief without losing your edge.Many high-capacity humans don't feel burned out because they're doing too much. They feel tired, disconnected, or quietly empty because they've learned to live divided.In this episode of The Recalibration, Julie Holly explores the moment—often unspoken—when capable, responsible people learned they needed two versions of themselves to survive, lead, or stay effective.Not because they failed.But because adaptation worked.In this episode, we explore:Why role confusion and identity drift often form in high performersHow fragmentation functions as intelligence under pressure, not dysfunctionThe hidden cost of success without fulfillmentWhy integration feels like relief, not reinventionHow burnout recovery begins with identity coherence, not more strategiesThe quiet grief many leaders carry for the version of themselves that held everything togetherJulie reframes fragmentation through the lens of Identity-Level Recalibration (ILR)—not as a mindset tactic or productivity tool, but as the root-level realignment that makes every other approach finally work.This episode speaks directly to those experiencing:Decision fatigue without obvious overloadSpiritual exhaustion beneath outward competenceSuccess that looks good but feels slightly removedA longing to stop holding everything together internallyYou'll hear why:Fragmentation was once protectiveWholeness does not mean slowing down or losing effectivenessIntegration allows parts of you that have been waiting to come homeThis is not an invitation to fix yourself.It's permission to stop paying for effectiveness with separation.Today's Micro RecalibrationWhat part of me learned it wasn't safe to be fully here—and what does that part need now?Stay with whatever surfaces.No urgency.

High performers often feel drained even when life is working. In this episode, Julie Holly explains why always being “on” exhausts your nervous system — and how identity-level recalibration restores energy without disengaging from leadership.Why do high performers feel tired even when nothing is technically wrong?In this episode of The Recalibration, Julie Holly explores the hidden cost of always being “on” — a state that often looks like strength, leadership, and responsibility, but quietly drains capacity over time.Many high-capacity humans experience a unique kind of exhaustion that doesn't come from overwork alone. It shows up as decision fatigue, role confusion, success without fulfillment, and a persistent sense of being depleted despite competence and momentum. This episode names what's happening beneath the surface: vigilance — a nervous system state designed for short bursts of readiness that has quietly become a way of life.Julie unpacks the science behind vigilance and explains how three invisible loads stack over time:cognitive load from constant decision-makingemotional load from holding others and managing impactidentity load from sustaining the version of yourself that keeps everything workingThis isn't burnout caused by failure or weakness. It's fatigue caused by adaptation.The episode also highlights Rosalind Brewer as a living example of calm authority in high-pressure environments. Her leadership demonstrates that presence and regulation do not dilute power — they stabilize it.Throughout the conversation, Julie differentiates Identity-Level Recalibration (ILR) from mindset tactics, productivity hacks, or surface-level rest strategies. ILR doesn't ask you to disengage or do less. It works at the root — recalibrating identity so the nervous system no longer relies on tension to maintain effectiveness. This is the recalibration that makes every other tool work again.If you've ever felt capable and depleted at the same time…If success feels heavier than it should…If you're longing for relief without losing your edge…This episode offers clarity, permission, and a path forward.Today's Micro RecalibrationWhere am I staying “on” because it's familiar — not because it's required? No fixing. No forcing rest.

In this episode, I sit down with Lacey Newman for a grounded, honest conversation about what actually creates long-term success — in business, leadership, and life. We talk about discipline versus motivation, identity-based standards, and why so many high performers burn out chasing short-term wins instead of building something sustainable. Lacey shares her experience as a real estate professional, coach, speaker, and TV host, and how her definition of success has evolved as she's grown personally and professionally. This conversation is especially for anyone who feels tired of hustle culture but also knows they're meant for more — and wants to build a life that feels aligned, disciplined, and deeply fulfilling. In this episode, we cover: Why discipline beats motivation every time Identity and standards as the foundation of success Building consistency without burning out Leadership, responsibility, and self-trust Creating a life you don't need to escape from Lacey is a real estate professional, coach, speaker, and TV host who has built her career around leadership, discipline, and long-term thinking. What I really respect about Lacey is that she doesn't sell motivation or hustle for hustle's sake: she talks about responsibility, standards, and becoming the kind of person who can actually sustain success.

High performers often assume exhaustion comes from full schedules. But this kind of fatigue runs deeper. In this episode, Julie Holly explores burnout recovery, decision fatigue, and why identity-level recalibration restores energy without losing effectiveness.Why do high performers feel tired even when their life is full, functional, and objectively successful?Many high-capacity humans don't describe themselves as burned out. They describe themselves as busy, responsible, and always going. Their schedules are full. Their roles are demanding. And yet, beneath the surface, there's a persistent fatigue that rest doesn't quite touch.In this episode of The Recalibration, Julie Holly explores a rarely named truth: much of what we call burnout isn't failure or weakness—it's exhaustion from adaptation.When leaders, entrepreneurs, and high performers learn to regulate themselves around effectiveness instead of identity, their system adapts by staying “on.” Present at home. Braced with clients. Capable in leadership. Over time, this role-based regulation creates decision fatigue, role confusion, success fatigue, and a quiet sense of spiritual exhaustion—even in a life that looks “right.”This conversation gently reframes:Why burnout recovery often fails when identity drift goes unaddressedHow performance pressure creates internal effort most people never seeWhy success without fulfillment is often a signal, not a problemHow over-adaptation becomes exhausting—even when it once workedThe episode also highlights embodied presence through the example of Denzel Washington, whose grounded authority illustrates what strength without internal division can look like in real life.This episode is especially resonant for those navigating:high achiever burnoutdecision fatiguerole confusionperformance pressureidentity misalignmentspiritual exhaustionToday's Micro RecalibrationYou'll find this in the Recalibration Companion, but here's where to begin:What part of me learned to stay “on” — and what was it trying to protect?No fixing.

High performers don't struggle with addiction despite their success, many struggle because of it.In this raw, eye-opening conversation, Aaron Velky sits down with addiction and self-leadership expert Craig Perra to unpack why entrepreneurs, executives, creatives, and elite performers are disproportionately vulnerable to addiction, self-sabotage, and destructive coping patterns.This episode isn't just about drugs or alcohol.It's about work addiction, porn, fitness extremes, hustle culture, dopamine habits, emotional suppression, and the hidden cost of ambition.You'll learn:- Why ambition and addiction are deeply correlated- How high performers use success to avoid pain- The real reason discipline alone doesn't fix bad habits- Why “just stopping” addictive behaviors rarely works- How self-leadership (not willpower) creates lasting change- Why the opposite of addiction isn't sobriety, it's connectionCraig shares his own journey from executive burnout, addiction, and rock bottom to building a globally recognized framework that helps high performers reclaim control without losing their edge.If you're successful on the outside but feel conflicted, reactive, or out of alignment on the inside, this conversation will hit home.This episode is for entrepreneurs who want growth without self-destruction.Learn more about Craig's work: https://mindfulhabitmastery.com

High performers often assume burnout means failure. But what if success feels exhausting because you're divided inside? This episode explores decision fatigue, role confusion, and why identity-level recalibration restores energy without losing drive.Why does success feel exhausting even when everything looks “right”?Many high performers, leaders, and high-capacity humans reach a point where the life they built no longer feels the way they expected it to feel. There's no obvious crisis. No failure to point to. Yet beneath the surface, there's decision fatigue, role confusion, and a quiet sense of depletion that rest alone doesn't resolve.In this episode of The Recalibration, Julie Holly introduces a rarely named truth: burnout is often not about overwork — it's about fragmentation.When your nervous system learns to regulate by context instead of identity, you begin living from multiple internal versions of yourself. Calm in one room. Braced in another. Present at home, vigilant with clients. Over time, this internal division creates success fatigue, spiritual exhaustion, and a loss of felt coherence — even in a life that looks objectively successful.This episode explores:Why burnout recovery often fails when identity misalignment goes unaddressedHow decision fatigue is compounded by internal role-switchingWhy “being on” all the time is a nervous-system strategy, not strengthThe difference between flexibility and fragmentationHow success without fulfillment often signals identity drift, not weaknessJulie introduces Identity-Level Recalibration (ILR) — not another mindset tactic or productivity strategy, but the root-level recalibration that makes every other tool effective again. ILR begins with the who, not the how, restoring internal coherence so peace, purpose, and productivity can coexist.This conversation is especially relevant for those navigating:high achiever burnoutleadership fatiguespiritual exhaustionsuccess that feels emptypressure to perform across rolesToday's Micro RecalibrationYou'll find this in the Recalibration Companion, but here's where to begin:Where do I feel most like myself — and where do I feel the most “on”?No fixing.

High performance leaders often feel guilty when they slow down, rest, or delegate. If decision fatigue, role pressure, or success without fulfillment resonates, this episode reframes guilt as conditioning — and opens a path to identity-level relief.Many high-capacity humans describe what they feel as guilt — especially when they slow down, rest, delegate, or step back from constant responsibility. But what if that word isn't telling the truth?In this episode of The Recalibration with Julie Holly, we explore why high performers experience guilt even when nothing is morally wrong — and why that feeling is often a conditioned nervous system response rather than a failure of character.If you're navigating burnout recovery, decision fatigue, role confusion, or the quiet ache of success without fulfillment, this conversation offers language, relief, and compassion. We unpack how early belonging patterns, family-of-origin dynamics, and performance-based attachment can wire the brain to equate contribution with connection — and why slowing down can feel risky even when it's wise.This episode gently challenges the cultural and spiritual misuse of guilt, clarifying that what many leaders call “guilt” is often the body responding to unfamiliar safety. That distinction matters — because language shapes identity, and identity shapes behavior.This episode is especially supportive for high-capacity humans in career transition or life transition who sense that the role they're in no longer reflects who they're becoming — yet don't want to burn everything down to find relief.In this episode, we explore:Why guilt isn't a moral signal — it's often a relational oneHow decision fatigue and over-responsibility impact belongingWhy slowing down can feel unsafe even when nothing is wrongThe difference between guilt, conditioning, and identity driftHow presence replaces pressure as a steadier internal guideToday's Micro RecalibrationWhen guilt shows up, pause and ask:What is my body afraid will happen if I don't carry this? Then gently offer:What's actually true right now?No forcing. No convincing. Just orientation.Team reflection: Where might worth be quietly equated with constant output — and what would shift if rest and clarity were modeled as leadership strengths?Explore Identity-Level Recalibration→ Join the next Friday Recalibration Live experience → Take your listening deeper!

Today's guest sits right at the intersection of ambition, emotional intelligence, and the science of love — and this conversation is one I know so many of you will feel deeply. I'm joined by Melissa Nanavati, a speaker, author, and Relationship Architect who helps high performers build peaceful, thriving relationships without sacrificing their big goals. Melissa blends neuroscience, biology, and lived experience to teach ambitious women how to apply the same skills that make them successful in business… to love. Despite early success as a textbook author and Fortune 100 consultant, Melissa found herself stuck in anxious attachment and went on over 100 first dates before meeting her husband. What happened next is powerful — in their first year together, they raised $1.1 million while running two businesses. Through that journey, Melissa developed science-backed frameworks that support executives, founders, and driven women who want relationships that feel secure, grounded, and aligned with who they're becoming. In this episode, we dive into love, attachment, ambition, nervous system regulation, dating, healing, and what it truly takes to thrive in partnership as a high performer. If you've ever felt like you can excel in business but struggle in relationships — this conversation is for you. You're not broken. You've just never been given the frameworks. And Melissa is here to change that. What We Cover in This Episode

What does modern leadership actually require—and why do toxic leaders continue to rise, even in companies that claim to value culture?In this episode of the Spartan Leadership Podcast, Josh Kosnick sits down with Lyndsay Dowd—former IBM executive, Harvard guest lecturer, bestselling author, and founder of Heartbeat for Hire—for a raw, honest conversation about leadership, power, burnout, and reinvention at any age.Lyndsay shares her personal leadership journey, the moment she was fired after 23 years in corporate leadership, and why that experience became the catalyst for building heart-led, high-performance cultures. Together, Josh and Lyndsay explore why top performers don't always make great leaders, how burnout is often a signal—not a weakness—and why leading with heart isn't soft, it's strategic.This episode is for leaders who are tired of performative culture talk and want leadership that actually works.Topics covered: • Why toxic leadership keeps getting rewarded • Power vs. responsibility in leadership • Reinventing yourself at any stage of life • Separating identity from title and performance • Burnout, trust, and psychological safety • What heart-led leadership really looks like in practice

We train our bodies. We sharpen our skills. We optimize our schedules. But almost no one trains their emotions, and it's quietly sabotaging performance, leadership, and fulfillment. In this solo episode of Endurance Minded, Taylor Thomas introduces the concept of Emotional Fitness: the ability to recognize, regulate, and recover from emotional stress with the same intentionality we bring to physical training. You'll learn why untrained emotions create hidden drag, how emotional avoidance shows up as burnout and inconsistency, and how to build emotional capacity without becoming “soft” or losing your edge. If you're driven, capable, and disciplined, but still feel reactive, drained, or stuck, this episode will give you a new framework to train what matters most.

Strong performance does not automatically translate into influence at work. Many high performers deliver results yet still get misread, underestimated, or quietly sidelined. That gap is where careers slow down, not because of skill, but because leadership presence and perception do not always match capability. Kendall sits down with Tracy Nolan to break down what actually moves careers forward in fast changing corporate environments. Tracy draws from decades of executive leadership across Verizon, Sprint, T-Mobile, and healthcare to explain why continuous learning is nonnegotiable, how leaders earn credibility without overspeaking, and what it really takes to lead with strength and compassion at the same time. They unpack subtle behaviors that signal authority in meetings, the hidden cost of coasting, and why career ownership is a personal responsibility, not your company's job. This conversation also tackles bias, crisis leadership, and performance management without sugarcoating. Tracy shares how transparent communication builds trust during uncertainty, why tailored feedback matters more than one size leadership, and how honest conversations protect both people and teams. If you want to stay relevant, lead with confidence, and build long term career momentum, this episode delivers clarity without corporate fluff. In this episode, we discuss: Why do high performers get stuck even when results are strong How leadership presence shapes credibility in meetings What helps women overcome bias at senior levels How to lead with authority and compassion during crisis Why owning your career matters more than waiting for promotion paths What's one "corporate game" rule you've learned the hard way?

In this powerful Burn Podcast compilation, Ben Newman brings together two conversations that center on one defining theme: who you choose to be when it gets hard. First, Sean O'Brien shares his journey as a healthcare and medical technology leader who helped drive his company to more than tenfold revenue growth. But the most defining moment didn't happen in a boardroom—it happened during an Ironman marathon. When illness forced Sean to stop mid-race, he refused to let that moment define him. Days later, he went back out and completed the same marathon distance on his own, honoring the commitment he made to himself. Sean's story is a reminder that resilience isn't about perfection—it's about integrity, follow-through, and refusing to quit when excuses would be easy.Then, Ashwin Mohan, founder of Mohan Coaching and one of the top-ranked advisors in the country, joins Ben to break down the power of discipline, standards, and consistency. Ashwin shares how the Prizefighter Day framework and the Unrequired Workout reshaped his mental and physical edge—and why elite leadership always starts with leading yourself first. The conversation takes a deeper turn as Ashwin reflects on losing a close friend at a young age, a moment that permanently shifted his perspective on time, urgency, and purpose. His message is clear: success isn't built on occasional intensity—it's built by doing the small things, every day, with intention. Together, these episodes challenge YOU to raise your standards, honor your commitments, and show up like today actually matters—because it does.************************************Watch Here: https://youtu.be/Bf_qO_WxrTsListen Here: https://www.theburnpodcast.com_______________________Learn about upcoming events and coaching: https://www.workwithbnc.comGet Ben's latest book The STANDARD:  https://amzn.to/3DE1clY1stWork directly with Ben: https://www.bennewmancoaching.comConnect with Ben Newman:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/continuedfightFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/Continuedfight/Twitter: https://twitter.com/ContinuedFightLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/ben-newman-b0b693Qlogix: www.Q-logix.com/benhttps://www.bennewmancoaching.com************************************ Learn about our Upcoming events and programs:https://www.workwithbnc.comLet's work TOGETHER https://www.bennewmancoaching.comLet's work together to write YOUR next book- BNC PublishingSend us a message Order my latest book The STANDARD: Winning at YOUR Highest Level: https://amzn.to/3DE1clY1st Phorm | The Foundation of High Performance Nutrition1stPhorm.com/bnewman Connect with me everywhere else: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/continuedfight Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/Continuedfight/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/ContinuedFight Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/ben-newman-b0b693

High performance often leads to pressure, bracing, and identity drift. This episode reveals how high achievers move from survival-driven excellence into grounded, high-capacity presence. Learn why reducing identity load—not adding discipline—creates real freedom.Why does high performance eventually feel like pressure instead of possibility?In this episode, Julie unpacks the identity and nervous system map behind the shift from high performer to High Capacity Human, showing why bracing becomes your default and how alignment—not more discipline—creates the internal expansion you've been craving.You'll learn how three types of load quietly accumulate beneath your success:• Cognitive Load — the tasks you track, manage, and anticipate• Emotional Load — the responsibilities you hold for others• Identity Load — the version of you that performs instead of expressesTogether, these loads create the pressure, sympathetic activation, and identity margin that make even good seasons feel heavier than they should.Julie breaks down the difference between negative drive (pressure, vigilance, survival) and positive drive (presence, grounded clarity, internal safety), offering a transformational reframe:Capacity isn't what you produce —It's who you become when your life and identity finally match.This episode helps high-capacity humans name:• why they brace even when nothing is wrong• why performance feels safer than presence• why approval, excellence, and responsibility became identity• why calm feels unfamiliar• the emotional and physiological signs of identity margin• how reducing identity load increases internal capacity• why capacity begins where bracing endsThis conversation also clarifies why mindset work and productivity tools are insufficient for true change.Identity-Level Recalibration (ILR) goes deeper — past habits, past hacks, past performance patterns — into the root of who you are.It's not another strategy.It's the foundational identity shift that makes every other tool effective again.Micro Recalibration (Individuals + Teams)Ask yourself:“Which version of me is carrying the most load — and which part of that load is no longer mine?”Notice:• What shifts in your posture or breath when you step into that version?• What would 2% less bracing feel like in that moment?Team Extension:“What unspoken expectations shape how we perform — and what would change if we valued presence over pressurIf 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 often feels like pressure because your nervous system learned to brace, not rest. This episode unpacks why success triggers activation, why calm feels unfamiliar, and how to shift from survival patterns into grounded, high-capacity presence.Why does success feel heavier than it should — even when nothing is wrong?For many high-capacity humans, the answer lives in the nervous system. This episode offers a clear, practical walk-through of Polyvagal Theory, showing why performance so often feels like pressure, why the body braces even in moments of confidence, and why “I'm fine” rarely matches what's happening internally.Julie Holly breaks down the three primary states (ventral vagal, sympathetic, dorsal vagal) in simple, real-life language, helping you understand:why your baseline feels elevated even on your best dayswhy calm feels unfamiliar for high achieverswhy your nervous system treats success like a situation to managethe link between chronic activation and identity driftthe internal cues (tight jaw, lifted shoulders, shallow breath) that reveal your statehow interoception helps you identify bracing before it becomes burnoutwhy your nervous system's loyalty to old stories makes pressure feel safer than presenceYou'll hear how these states explain the internal “edge” so many high performers live with — a form of identity dissonance and success fatigue that rarely gets named.Julie also offers a compassionate reframe:Your system isn't malfunctioning.It's remembering.It learned to keep you steady in earlier seasons of your life, and it's been loyal to that pattern ever since.Identity-Level Recalibration (ILR) DistinctionThis episode makes it clear why mindset work or productivity hacks fall short.ILR works at the root level — where nervous system patterns, identity, and belonging intersect. It's not another strategy to “push through.” It's the recalibration that makes rest possible, presence accessible, and success feel like something you can actually enjoy.You'll learn:• what sympathetic activation feels like for high achievers• how dorsal vagal shutdown disguises itself as “I'm just tired”• why your nervous system confuses activation with safety• how identity performance keeps you bracing even in good moments• what it looks like to move into ventral presence without losing your edge• why capacity begins where bracing eIf this episode gave you language you've been missing, please rate and review the show so more high-capacity humans can find it.

And you learn.” — Jon Acuff “If you've achieved the big goals you set years ago — great. Celebrate it.

In this episode, Ken sits down with author and performance psychologist Dr. Michael Gervais. Learn practical ways to prevent burnout, the core mental skills elite performers train, and how to rebuild motivation.   Next Steps: ·      

Former Marine and general contractor Andrew Kavanaugh joins the crew to share the origin story of Black Root Recovery, a company he founded after watching too many of his fellow Marines struggle physically, mentally, and emotionally after returning home. What started as a personal quest to rebuild his health led to a 90-pound weight loss, the elimination of sleep apnea and nightmares, and a profound shift in cognitive clarity and emotional resilience. Andrew combined the modalities that changed his own life (grounding, infrared therapy, red-light therapy, and traditional sauna heat) into a single premium, custom-built recovery system designed to reduce inflammation, support brain health, and help veterans and high performers reclaim their capability. Andrew breaks down the science and practical application behind each component of the system, including his patented grounding design that connects the user directly to an eight-foot copper ground rod to immediately reduce blood viscosity and "electrical noise" in the body. Paired with deep-penetrating red light panels, infrared heat, and a high-output traditional sauna, his units create a stacked recovery environment that improves circulation, reduces inflammation, accelerates healing, and enhances cognitive performance. Andrew shares how, after three months of daily use, he saw his social anxiety disappear, his brain function sharpen, and his jiu-jitsu endurance skyrocket. The conversation expands into the broader mission: supporting veterans, giving athletes a competitive performance advantage, and scaling access to recovery tools that have historically been too expensive or too fragmented to deliver real transformation. Andrew discusses future plans to build custom installations for gyms and sports teams, and continue refining the multimodal system. Whether the goal is longevity, recovery, or helping those who have served, this episode reveals why integrated recovery environments may become the next frontier in reducing inflammation, healing trauma, and elevating human potential.
