Podcasts about high performers

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.

Jon shares how discomfort is actually a good thing and the only true way to know you are headed towards meaningful change. He also shares how leaders who want to succeed must learn to recognize the value of making mistakes and trying again, as well as asking for help. Lastly, Jon previews his upcoming book Procrastination Proof: Never Get Stuck Again and explains why procrastination isn't a character flaw but a coping strategy. He offers tips on how you can recognize and replace it with better tools and habits so you never get stuck again. YOU WILL LEARN: The 5 Cs (clarity, courage, community, consistency, and coaching) that Jon uses to build a remarkable year. Why many who feel burnout are actually bored and what they can do to change that. Why it's important to celebrate achieving your goals and then move onto setting new ones.

That's the sign you're actually headed in the right direction.” — Jon Acuff “I'm realizing there's no leadership playbook where you always know the right move. You're going to blow it. And you learn.” — Jon Acuff “If you've achieved the big goals you set years ago — great. Celebrate it. But now it's time for a new scorecard.” — Jon Acuff “High performers tend to be hyper-specific about career goals but casual about relationship goals, and that doesn't work. — Jon Acuff Hosted on Acast.

Welcome to the YOU CAN CALL ME “BOSSY” PODCAST! In this quick hit episode I answer some of the most pressing questions high performers face on their journey from breaking the cycle of overthinking and stepping into confident leadership, to exploring the difference between discipline, pushing too hard, and truly aligned action. Plus, I dive into the challenges of unapologetically wanting more, more money, more power, more ease and how to give yourself permission to chase those desires without guilt or fear of being "too much." If you're ready to stand in your power and live authentically, despite the labels the world throws at you, this episode is your must listen guide. Key Takeaways: The importance of checking in with yourself to ensure alignment and integrity. Overthinking is linked to lack of self-trust, not lack of intelligence or skill. Self trust erodes when authenticity and alignment are lost.

Send us a textThank you, Zack Ticer, for making today's episode possible!What if the fastest way to lead your home better isn't another productivity hack, but the courage to slow down, feel uncomfortable, and ask for help? We sit with performance coach and Scratch Golfers Mindset host, Paul Salter, to unpack how a former perfectionist and firstborn “golden child” rewired his beliefs to become a more patient, present dad while co‑parenting his one‑year‑old son.Paul takes us inside the real tradeoffs: surrendering control, choosing kindness over being “nice,” and learning to apologize well. He shares the simple, powerful rituals that build identity and safety at home—daily affirmations, a handwritten letter for each birthday, and modeling ownership when he misses the mark. We dig into hypnosis as a practical mindset tool, not a party trick: accessing the subconscious to unlearn scarcity, detach self‑worth from results, and install habits that support presence. The same patterns that show up on the golf course—fear of judgment, score obsession, tension under pressure—mirror how we show up at work and with our kids. Paul shows how to translate a calm pre‑shot routine into a pre‑meeting breath and how belief, not bravado, drives consistency on and off the course.Along the way, we explore repairing sibling relationships, redefining masculinity through emotional availability, and navigating co‑parenting disagreements with patience and respect. You'll leave with three anchors for home leadership: give your child a better emotional experience than you had, demonstrate kindness with firm boundaries, and treat your child as a teacher who reveals where you still grip too tight. If you've ever felt pulled between crushing goals and being fully present at the dinner table, this conversation offers a clear, compassionate path forward.If this resonated, follow the show, share it with a friend who needs it, and leave a quick review.

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.

We are living through a Joy Crisis. Leaders, physicians, high achievers, and everyday humans are waking up successful on paper, yet spiritually, emotionally, and energetically empty. In this episode, Dr. V sits down with executive coach Dianna Moore to uncover why joy has quietly faded from modern life and how to bring it back with intention. Dianna spent 25 years in aerospace, moved into executive leadership, later became COO of a venture-backed startup, and now coaches high-stakes leaders in medicine, technology, and cybersecurity. Her journey did not begin with joy. It began with survival. At 18, she was a young mother in college with a baby on her hip. Achievement became her fuel. Later, she realized achievement and joy were not the same thing. This conversation blends science, wisdom, personal experience, and real leadership insight. It offers a grounded path to reclaiming joy in a world that rewards burnout.   What We Cover: What Joy Really Is - Not happiness, not distraction, not numbing. Joy is a deeper internal state tied to meaning, purpose, nervous system balance, and long-term health. The Joy Deficit in Modern Leadership - Medical leaders, cybersecurity executives, and corporate teams often operate in chronic stress without emotional recovery. Joy has disappeared from everyday language and the results show up in burnout, isolation, and strained relationships. Success Versus Joy - Dianna explains how achievement became her identity. Promotions and accomplishments created momentum, yet not fulfillment. Joy had to be cultivated separately. What Joy Looks Like Somatically - Dr. V breaks down how joy affects inflammation, hormones, mitochondrial function, and healing potential. This is where mindset, biology, and longevity truly connect. Simple Practices to Rebuild Joy - Helping others, movement, strength training, reconnecting with your childhood imagination, and returning to purpose. These accessible practices help you reignite joy even in difficult seasons. The Top Joy Killer: Comparison - One of Dianna's most powerful insights at 25:04. Comparison drains energy, confidence, and presence. It is one of the fastest ways to shut down joy.   What You Will Learn Why joy is a performance strategy and not a luxury How to identify signs of a hidden joy deficit Ways high performers accidentally numb instead of nourish How to tell the difference between comfort, happiness, and true joy Why meaningful relationships matter more than professional success Daily practices that create noticeable joy in under five minutes How reconnecting with your childhood self restores creativity and vitality   About Dianna Moore Executive Coach and Founder of Moore Joy Group specializing in leaders in medicine, cybersecurity, technology, and the C-suite moorejoygroup.com   Connect with Dr. V Learn the Thrive State Method at kienvuu.com Follow @doctorvmd on all platforms Get the number one bestselling book Thrive State at thrivestatebook.com Download your free Longevity Starter Kit at thrivestatestarter.com

Welcome to the The Achievers Podcast. I'm your host, Amber Deibert, Performance Coach. I help enterprise sellers unlock their full potential by aligning their work with how they workout and cleaning up mindset trash, so they can sell more, stress less, and take back control of their time and success. If you've ever taken the Enneagram and discovered you're a Type 3 (The Achiever) or if you simply act like one, this episode will feel like someone finally put words to your inner world. Achievers push themselves relentlessly. They hit goal after goal. They look wildly successful from the outside… …while quietly feeling like they're only as good as their last accomplishment. In this episode, I break down what drives Enneagram 3s, why achievement becomes tied to self-worth, and how to break out of the "always chasing, never satisfied" cycle without losing your ambition. You'll walk away with practical tools to feel more grounded, worthy, and whole, without losing the part of you that loves to grow.     

Ever felt like everything fell apart right after you made progress?In this episode, let's explore the reasons why personal growth often triggers temporary chaos. I'm sharing insights from George Leonard's book "Mastery" and my own journey as an entrepreneur. Let's talk about how setbacks can be signs you're on the right path—and how to get through the mess.Here are 3 Key Takeaways:1. Progress Can Look Like Chaos: Growth isn't always smooth—sometimes making big moves in your career or business can trigger upheaval. When things appear to “fall apart,” it might actually be a sign you're moving in the right direction and entering a new stage of mastery.2. The Power of Instruction and Learning Order: Picking the right way to learn—whether it's self-paced, guided, or individualized—matters. But more important is understanding the order in which you need to learn things. Having a coach or mentor can help you avoid learning things out of sequence and maximize your progress.3. When to Pivot and Let Go: Losing resources, time, or money hurts, but these moments can serve as powerful signals that it's time to shift your focus or reinvent your approach. Success means knowing when to double down and when to step back, then strategically move forward.Ready to Master Your Mindset, Mission, and Message?If today's episode spoke to you, don't just listen—step behind the curtain and join the Journey Feed.

If your life looks perfect on paper but feels strangely hollow, this conversation will hit home. We sit down with coach Ben Robbins, who rose fast in a global consultancy and realized the wins felt thinner with each promotion. Instead of doubling down on hustle, he rebuilt from the inside out—trading golden handcuffs for a compelling vision of freedom, health, meaningful work, and a life lived on his terms.Ben breaks down a deceptively simple idea: most high performers don't need to add more; they need to remove what's untrue. He shows how hidden scripts like “I'm not good enough” quietly drive overwork, overplanning, and the constant chase for validation. Rather than pushing affirmations the nervous system doesn't buy, he uses real evidence from your life to neutralize old stories, shifting change from intellectual to embodied. That's where energy returns, creativity flows, and burnout loses its grip.We also reframe success through a powerful lens: goals are not a place to get to, they're a place to come from. If you want the million, the promotion, or the freedom, who do you need to be today in how you show up, connect, and create? This shift unlocks the feeling now and, paradoxically, helps results arrive faster. Ben shares practical ways to create space—micro-pauses, fewer low-value meetings, silent walks—so your best thinking can surface. And he makes a case for lives that look “weird” to others but feel true to you, from living abroad to crafting work around conversation and impact.If you're tired of chasing the next rung and ready to define your version of a 10 out of 10 life, this episode offers a clear path: remove, integrate, and create.

This episode is brought to you by Joymode, Strong Coffee Company and Cured Nutrition. In this high-energy and revealing episode, intimacy expert Dr. Susan Bratton, PhD joins us to explain why great sex is not just pleasurable — it's powerful. We explore how optimizing your sex life is the "fourth health factor" that most high achievers overlook, yet it plays a critical role in cognitive sharpness, hormone balance, longevity, and emotional resilience. Susan breaks down the science of pleasure, the importance of blood flow and nitric oxide, the difference between male and female arousal timing, and why communication is the foundation of great sex.

High performers often confuse power with pressure, leading to burnout, decision fatigue, and emotional overload. In this episode, Julie teaches practical identity-level tools to stay powerful without collapsing under expectation—and shows how Taylor Swift embodies aligned strength.High-capacity humans are often praised for their strength, stability, and potential. But the very traits that make people trust you can quietly turn into pressure—pressure to carry more, respond faster, hold everything together, and never falter. This episode explores how that pressure creates burnout, decision fatigue, leadership strain, and emotional exhaustion, and why high performers often feel powerful one moment and overwhelmed the next.Julie Holly guides you through the identity-level shift that allows power to be expressed without being performed. You'll learn the psychological mechanisms behind pressure responses, how the nervous system contracts under expectation, and how reclaiming agency creates sustainable strength. This is not behavior modification or another mindset tactic—this is Identity-Level Recalibration, the root transformation that makes every other tool finally work again.To bring these insights to life, Julie draws on Taylor Swift's evolution—her early choice to protect her potential, the rising weight of public projection, and her transformative decision to reclaim authorship of her identity. Her story becomes a powerful mirror for high performers learning to move from pressure into aligned agency.Inside this episode, you'll practice:• Micro-boundaries that restore choice• Identity-first decision making• A simple alignment check for the nervous system• Releasing roles that are no longer yours to carryYou'll leave with a grounded sense of how to stay powerful without feeling pressured—and how to move through your day from alignment, not obligation.Micro Recalibration: Where are you confusing power with pressure? Ask: “What is mine to carry—and what is mine to release?”Micro Recalibration for Teams: What pressure are we unintentionally placing on individuals that should be shared or clarified?If this episode gave you language you've been missing, please rate and review the show so more high-capacity humans can find it.

It's the weekend of Black Friday and Cyber Monday - the traditional shopping weekend after Thanksgiving in the United States. Special sales are happening everywhere (so watch your email from me as well - LOL).    In my most recent YouTube video, I revealed why most people don't see failures as temporary defeats that teach lessons and allow course corrections. Instead, they tend to blame external factors when, in large part, they are the captains of their own ship and control the outcome.  Here is that video if you missed it. This podcast is Part Two to that video, discussing the importance of learning from temporary defeat, and what high performers do when they experience a setback.     To Your Success... and Keep Pushing!     Bruce Whipple   brucewhipple.com

Forrest opens up about work identity, product integrity, and the value of surrounding yourself with people who stay steady when things get chaotic. James and I also break down leadership, teachability, and the pressure that comes with building teams that can thrive under real responsibility.

Most leaders plan their business year in detail—and wing their personal life.In this solo episode of Spartan Leadership, Josh Kosnick shares his annual planning playbook: how to set a 10-year “lighthouse” vision, reverse-engineer it into a 3-year picture, and then execute through focused 90-day sprints. He walks through the same process for your family life so you can stop drifting and start living on purpose.You'll learn why most New Year's resolutions fail, how to choose the one goal you'd be furious not to hit in 2026, and how mission and core values actually become filters for decisions—not just words on a wall.

If there was a pill that consistently and instantly boosts your cognitive and physical performance - it would contain sleep!  If peak performance starts to slip, don't blame your willpower - look at your sleep.  We dive straight into the 3 levers that consistently turn “I'm fine” into focused, calm, and energetic: the stories you tell yourself, the routine you follow, and the environment you live in. From caffeine myths to all-nighter bragging rights, we call out the habits that quietly wreck deep sleep and show a clear path to better nights that fuel better days.  First, we challenge the big beliefs. Then we move into daily routines that make sleep reliable. Finally, we tackle context - the social and physical cues that shape your sleep quality.   The throughline is simple: sleep is a skill you design, not a mystery you endure.  Share the episode with someone who wants to sleep better with you, subscribe for more practical performance tools, and leave a quick review to support the show.  Your best work starts the night before, ready to claim it?  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

Many founders stay stuck in the space between yes and no, not because of timing, money, or strategy, but because of resistance disguised as logic. In this powerful solo episode, Jerome Myers speaks directly to high performers who feel called to their next chapter yet hesitate to move. He breaks down the most common objections founders use to delay meaningful growth and reveals the deeper fears beneath them—from the discomfort of pausing long enough to feel, to the fear of being truly seen without the armor of achievement.  Jerome also opens up about his own experience with the Founder's Exit Paradox and the identity unraveling that happens once success goes quiet. This episode serves as a mirror, a challenge, and an invitation to stop circling the life you want and begin stepping into it with clarity, alignment, and courage.

High performers often mistake discipline for proving. This episode explores how to practice without pressure — so you can restore joy, focus, and peace. Learn why real mastery flows from presence, not performance, and how to rewire your brain for peace.For many high-capacity humans, discipline has become disguised defense. 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. It's the posture that makes power sustainable.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 performers don't chase outcomes — they master moments. This episode explores how focusing on controllable actions rather than future results helps reduce anxiety, increase execution, and build consistent success in sports, business, and life.You Got This, Ryan
