Was unterscheidet einen bloßen Leistungsträger von einem Menschen mit echtem Impact? Oft ist es der Mut, den eigenen Selbstwert nicht länger an den beruflichen Erfolg zu koppeln. Als der ehemalige österreichische Fußball-Nationalspieler Peter Hackmair mit nur 25 Jahren nach seinem dritten Kreuzbandriss und dem Scheitern seiner Ehe vor den Trümmern seiner ersten Lebenshälfte stand, musste er das Prinzip Leistung vollkommen neu hinterfragen. Aus dem tiefsten Schmerz entstand sein heutiger Kompass als Buchautor und Coach.     In dieser Episode sprechen wir unbeschönigt über die psychologischen Mechanismen von High Performance. Peter legt offen, warum unaufgearbeitete Traumata aus der Kindheit oft der eigentliche Motor für extremen Ehrgeiz sind und wieso wahrer Impact erst dann entsteht, wenn der Mensch dahinter keinen existentiellen Preis zahlt. Wir beleuchten den feinen Unterschied zwischen bloßem Erfolg und sinnstiftender Wirkung, betrachten den Lebenszyklus von der ersten zur zweiten Lebenshalbzeit und erklären, warum eine bewusste „Halbzeitpause“ essenziell ist, um nicht in der Leistungssucht zu verbrennen. Eine tiefgründige Folge über die Kunst, von der Fremdbestimmung in die Eigenverantwortung zu kommen, Lebenswerke neu zu definieren und den Mut zu finden, der Mensch zu werden, der man wirklich ist.   Kapitel 02:37 Was bedeutet Impact wirklich?

What could your mind do with just a few moments of silence? This week Robert Greene explores the liberation that comes from practicing enlightenment through silence, and how recognition of death tragedy help him manage adversity in his daily life. Listen in as we discuss why manipulation is part of our makeup, why recognizing our failings makes us better people, and how a near-encounter with death changed his perception of adversity. Robert Greene is the author of the New York Times bestsellers The 48 Laws of Power, The Art of Seduction, The 33 Strategies of War, and The 50th Law. His highly anticipated fifth book, Mastery, examines the lives of great historical figures such as Charles Darwin, Mozart, Paul Graham and Henry Ford and distills the traits and universal ingredients that made them masters. In addition to having a strong following within the business world and a deep following in Washington, DC, Greene’s books are hailed by everyone from war historians to the biggest musicians in the industry (including Jay-Z and 50 Cent). Greene attended U.C. Berkeley and the University of Wisconsin at Madison, where he received a degree in classical studies. He currently lives in Los Angeles. You can see a full collection of Greene’s work here: https://www.amazon.com/stores/author/B001IGV3IS/allbooks?ingress=0&visitId=33a4f706-a8ef-4d25-8162-c1f038681070 Learn more about the gift of Adversity and my mission to help my fellow humans create a better world by heading to www.marcusaureliusanderson.com.

Jon breaks down how he went from being a 315-pound offensive lineman to dieting down, getting lean, rebuilding his body, and realizing that nutrition could drive both physique and performance.From there, we get into why most athletes tune out nutrition talks, how to make food simple for college football players, why linemen should not chase arbitrary scale numbers, and how to think about gaining weight without just dirty bulking and getting slower.Jon also covers “kill it, pick it, grow it” foods, quality versus quantity, meal frequency, food journaling, cafeteria eating, cooking basics, hunger management, cravings, and why getting lean before getting big can unlock a much better long-term body composition plan.00:00 Welcome to the podcast01:00 Jon Heck and Will Rattel training together04:30 Making nutrition cool again06:30 Jon's nutrition origin story11:30 Learning from bodybuilding-style nutrition16:00 Nutrition is 20% plan and 80% psychology21:00 Stacking diet wins and staying consistent26:00 Football linemen and arbitrary scale weight33:00 Cafeteria eating and kill-it-pick-it-grow-it foods53:30 Hunger management and cravingsExtras:Nutrition is not just about looking better.

A former boss once described their first meeting this way: “She showed up late and disheveled, and I hired her anyway.” That's Sabrina Caluori in a nutshell. Sabrina is the chief marketing officer at Chief, the largest private network for ambitious women. Diagnosed with ADHD as an adult, she describes herself as a contradiction: “High achieving and a hot mess in equal measure” — a leader who can hold an entire company's strategy in her head but can't manage her own calendar. Sabrina shares what it's like to be gifted with ADHD — twice exceptional — and how that experience bonds her to her 2e child. She gets into ADHD burnout, self-doubt, and how the things she once considered character flaws turned out to make her exceptional at reading people and leading teams.

Managing high performers takes a completely different skill set than managing low performers, and giving feedback to a high achiever the usual way can backfire badly.There is probably someone on your team who used to be your strongest player and lately something is off. They are missing deadlines, questioning everything, or moving so fast they are rubbing the team the wrong way. And you keep putting the conversation off, because how do you tell someone they are amazing and they are not meeting your expectations at the same time? Dr. Mira Brancu breaks down why most supervisors freeze here, why "just be direct" is incomplete advice when you are dealing with talented people, and what to say instead. You will learn the “wise” feedback method, a research-backed way to frame the conversation so it lands as investment rather than punishment. You will also learn how to reframe leadership itself as a second specialty your high performer has to master, and why that single shift makes frequent check-ins feel like support instead of micromanaging.Subscribe for weekly conversations on leadership, burnout, and the human side of high pressure work.To find more of my work:Subscribe to this channelSubscribe to my free newsletter at: mailchi.mp/2079c04f4d44/subscribeWork with me one-on-one: calendly.com/mira-brancu/30-minute-initial-consultationConnect with me on LinkedIn: www.linkedin.com/in/MiraBrancuLearn more about my services: www.gotowerscope.comGet practical workplace politics tips from my books: gotowerscope.com/booksGet my free Strategic Clarity and Leadership Resilience assessment: https://mailchi.mp/e1ebf8505764/slr-assessment Get my Free Burnout Root Cause Assessment: https://mailchi.mp/29d7d18fae4a/burnout-root-cause-assessmentGet my Workplace Grief Guide: https://mailchi.mp/46873b910380/workplace-grief-field-guide Find other free resources to support your leadership growth: https://gotowerscope.com/other-free-stuff Join the next Towerscope leadership workshop or fellowship: https://gotowerscope.com/fellowship

On this week's episode of the WHOOP Podcast, WHOOP Founder and CEO Will Ahmed sits down with WHOOP Global Head of Human Performance and Principal Scientist Dr. Kristen Holmes to discuss her new book, Aligned, and what it takes to build a more resilient nervous system. Drawing on her journey from elite athlete to championship-winning coach, researcher, and human performance expert, Dr. Holmes shares what she's learned about the connection between recovery, resilience, and sustained performance. Will and Dr. Holmes explore why the time spent away from your craft can be just as important as the work itself, how sleep consistency and HRV can provide insight into the health of your nervous system, and why balancing stress with adequate recovery is critical for performing at your best. Dr. Holmes also breaks down her HEAL framework, explores how trauma and an outcome-driven mindset can shape our behaviors, and shares practical strategies for building greater agency, resilience, and alignment in everyday life.Buy Aligned by Dr. Kristen HolmesShop Meridian by WHOOP(00:00) Trailer (00:55) Introduction to Aligned by Dr. Kristen Holmes(02:25) How A Healthy Nervous System Promotes Healthy Aging(05:31) Impact of Childhood Trauma on High Performers(08:22) 70% of Americans Experience Trauma(10:15) Why Recovery Matters More Than You Think(16:17) Kristen's Collegiate Coaching Experience(22:07) What Overworking and Overtraining Looks Like(26:44) Importance of Sleep Consistency(30:17) The HEAL FrameworkSupport the showFollow WHOOP:Sign up for WHOOP Advanced LabsTrial WHOOP for Freewww.whoop.comInstagramTikTokYouTubeXFacebookLinkedInFollow Will Ahmed:InstagramXLinkedInFollow Kristen Holmes:InstagramLinkedInBuy Aligned by Dr. Kristen Holmes: Follow Emily Capodilupo:LinkedIn 

High performers are told to chase work–life balance—but real life rarely sits still.

In this episode of Workday Playdate, Erin sits down with Yana Carstens, an integrative executive coach, to explore why high performers often burn out faster than anyone else—and why the solution isn't always to simply lighten the workload. Yana makes the case that burnout is often a reflection of our internal operating system: the beliefs, identities, and patterns that shape how we respond to pressure, achievement, and success. If you've ever wondered why you can know you need better boundaries and still struggle to set them, this conversation is for you. Yana shares how somatic awareness, mindset recalibration, honest communication, and authentic connection can help you recognize the patterns driving exhaustion and create a more sustainable way to succeed. Inside This Episode: Burnout Is More Than a Workload Problem: Yana explains why burnout isn't always about having too much on your plate. For high performers, the deeper issue can be the internal wiring that tells us we need to be responsible, perfect, useful, or constantly achieving in order to feel worthy. Your Body Is Giving You Data: Physical signals like neck tension, shoulder aches, and anxiety aren't just inconveniences to push through. Yana shares how these signals can act like a dashboard, revealing when we're operating from old patterns or beliefs that no longer serve us. Your Strengths Can Become Your Blind Spots: Traits like responsibility, high standards, and a strong drive to help others can be powerful strengths—but they can also become “anchors” that keep us stuck. Yana explores how hyper-responsibility, perfectionism, and people-pleasing can quietly fuel burnout. Recalibrate Your Internal Operating System: Instead of automatically reacting to stress, Yana offers practical ways to pause, notice what's happening internally, and question the beliefs driving our responses. She shares tools for shifting from autopilot into more intentional, values-aligned action. Use Your Values as Your Wind: Yana uses the metaphor of a boat, anchors, and wind to explain the difference between disempowering beliefs that hold us back and core values that help us move forward. The goal isn't to eliminate stress, but to make sure we're navigating it in a direction that actually matters to us. What to Do Now: Notice Your Signals: The next time you feel tension, anxiety, irritation, or exhaustion, pause and ask what your body might be trying to tell you before you automatically push through. Question the Belief: When you notice yourself overworking, people-pleasing, or striving for perfection, ask: “What am I believing I have to do or prove right now?” Find Your North Star: Identify one core value that matters most to you right now, then consider whether your current habits, boundaries, and decisions are moving you toward it—or keeping you anchored. About the Guest Yana Carstens is an integrative executive coach who helps high-performing leaders understand the internal patterns that influence how they work, lead, and respond to stress. Through a combination of mindset work, somatic awareness, and practical coaching tools, Yana helps people recalibrate their internal operating systems so they can pursue meaningful success without sacrificing their well-being. Her work centers on helping leaders build greater self-awareness, healthier boundaries, authentic connection, and a more sustainable relationship with achievement.

High performers often look successful on the outside while quietly running on fumes inside. Today's guest, Rita Ainsworth, is a former performance marketer who hit burnout twice in a fast-paced Meta ads career before walking away at the peak of her success. Now, she coaches founders, operators, and marketers on how their nervous system state directly shapes performance, decision-making, and leadership, and how to rebuild sustainable success from the inside out. In this episode of Marketer of the Day, Rita shares what really drives stress, anxiety, and overworking, and why it's not your external circumstances. She explains how high achievers often tie their self-worth to results, creating an addictive cycle of “just one more goal” that never feels like enough. Instead of surface-level mindset hacks, Rita focuses on body-based regulation tools that help you shift out of constant fight-or-flight and into a grounded, creative state where you can actually think clearly and lead effectively. Rita breaks down the idea of humans as “energy batteries,” showing how stress drains your system and why oscillating between focused effort and intentional recovery is the real secret to long-term performance. She walks through practical practices like simple breathing patterns (such as 4–6 breathing), environmental safety checks, and somatic cues that signal to your nervous system, “You're safe,” so you can reset in minutes instead of needing months off after a crash. You'll also hear how Rita helps entrepreneurs and performance marketers move past fear of being seen, rejection, and visibility of common hidden stressors that keep people from posting, pitching, or putting themselves out there. By understanding how the nervous system interprets risk (like being judged online) as potential “tribal rejection,” Rita shows listeners how to reframe these experiences and expand their capacity for visibility, leadership, and impact without constantly feeling on edge. https://youtu.be/tB1KPPX4jpY?si=J_5pOQZ5EeXBuXVv If your focus has dropped, your patience is thin, and everything feels harder than it should, this conversation will help you see that stress is not just mental, it's biological, and it's trainable. Rita's Reset Circle, one-to-one coaching, and team training give high achievers practical tools to feel safe in their bodies, reclaim their energy, and build businesses that are ambitious and sustainable at the same time. If you're exhausted by the cost of your own success and want a way to grow without burning out, Rita's approach may be exactly the reset you've been needing. Quotes: “Stress is something we have control over, and it's body-based. Simple practices can reset you in moments instead of months.” “How you live your days is how you live your life; every single day counts toward what your life adds up to be.” “Our body has so much information, but we are so used to being stuck in our heads that we ignore everything below the neck.” Contact Details: Work, Live, and Feel Better: Book your free 30-minute Call with Rita Today Driven But Drained?

Becoming Happy High Performers with Jay AbbasiEpisode 270: Show NotesWhat if burnout isn't a sign that you need less ambition but rather that you need a different way to pursue it? Today we welcome Tesla leader turned professional speaker, Jay Abbasi, to discuss how leaders can help people achieve at a high level without sacrificing personal life along the way. Tuning in, you'll hear all about Jay's work in burnout, how he helps people become more adaptable through mindfulness and ‘mind-free-ness', how mindfulness helped him thrive in a stressful environment at Tesla, and more! We delve into the importance of dedicating time to allowing your mind to be free before discussing Jay's Resistance Formula (energy, space, and choice) and how to take the first step toward solving burnout. Jay even touches on the illusion of control, why our power lies in our choices, and why delayed gratification is far more fulfilling than instant gratification. Finally, our guest shares his thoughts on what makes a great leader and answers our rapid-fire questions.

What if the self-doubt holding you back isn't proof of failure, but evidence of growth?In the most recent HR Leaders Podcast episode, I had an important conversation with Maharukh Dalal, founder of The Career Accelerator for Women by Maharukh Dalal. She explains how senior leaders can overcome imposter syndrome by closing the internal identity gap, reframing self-doubt into a signal of growth, and shifting self-perception to drive executive execution.Drawing on two decades of corporate leadership across finance and hospitality, Dalal explains how mindset precedes execution. This conversation offers senior HR and business leaders a clear playbook for mastering the mental side of executive performance.5 things you'll learn from this episode:The psychological gap that stops capable leaders from taking actionA simple two-word shift that instantly turns daily dread into agency What a 1980 university experiment reveals about how people actually perceive you The advice Rafael Nadal's coach gave him during his worst slump that applies to executives Why relying purely on willpower and discipline eventually fails even top performers

Recently in Chapman & Co. Leadership Institute's People and Performance Playbook Newsletter, Mike Budden and Gunnar Millot wrote a thought provoking article that may be contrary to your perceptions of how and why teams are successful. It was called A High-Performing Team Is Not Necessarily a Team of High Performers. Is that how things work in your organization? Do you just grab and group of the hi-pos, the people generally considered to be the best in the  company and throw them in a room and expect all the problems in your company's world to be solved? And does that always work out for you? Here's something they say in the article" "Capability, affinity, and alignment don't add up to value, they multiply into it. This means you can stack a team with extraordinary capability and still end up with almost nothing to show for it, because anything multiplied by a number close to zero stays close to zero.  "That's the arithmetic of the superstar team that loses. And here's the part leaders tend to miss: affinity and alignment don't just show up on their own. They get built, or quietly torn down, by whether people trust the person in charge.  "That trust rests on three things: Is the leader competent? Do they actually care? And are they congruent, meaning do they walk their talk?" This is another podcast installment of the People and Performance Playbook where the experts at Chapman & Co. share their knowledge on leadership development.

What if your MRI is showing a problem, but your body isn't feeling it? In this episode of Talk Design, I welcome Dr. Masi Reynolds, an orthopedic surgeon and sports medicine physician who's redefining how we think about injury, recovery, and long-term performance. Dr. Reynolds is fellowship-trained in sports medicine and advanced arthroscopy, and he works with athletes at every level—from Red Bull-sponsored athletes to professional surfers and mountain bikers—while also treating everyday patients who simply want to keep moving.What makes this conversation so empowering is Dr. Reynolds's shift from a purely surgical, reactive approach to a holistic, proactive one. He explains why the traditional "siloed" model of healthcare—treating one joint or one symptom in isolation—misses the bigger picture. Through powerful examples, he reveals that imaging like MRIs often tells a different story from what patients actually feel, which means healing requires more than just fixing what's broken. It requires understanding the whole person: cellular health, mindset, nutrition, recovery, and movement patterns.Throughout the episode, Dr. Reynolds breaks down his seven core cellular domains, explaining how everything from mitochondrial health to gut microbiome to joint function works together. He shares how this philosophy shaped North Performance, his supplement company built with Mike Lucas and other founders, which simplifies the overwhelming world of supplementation into two effervescent tablets that support your foundation—so you can build from there. Whether you're an elite athlete, a weekend warrior, or someone just starting to prioritize your health, this episode offers a clear, practical framework for showing up better in your own life.⏯️ TIMESTAMPS02:15 - The Mindset of High Performers vs. Everyday Athletes07:40 - Dr. Masi Reynolds: From Orthopedic Surgery to Proactive Medicine14:20 - The Problem with Siloed Healthcare: Why Treating Single Joints Fails22:10 - MRI vs. Reality: Why Your Scan Doesn't Tell the Whole Story31:05 - Shifting from Reactive Repair to Longevity & Performance40:15 - Cellular Health & the Missing Link in Recovery51:30 - The 7 Core Cellular Domains Breakdown01:05:20 - How Gut Health, Inflammation, and Joint Function Connect01:18:45 - Cutting Through the Supplement Noise01:30:10 - Designing North Performance: Simplifying Your Daily Foundation01:42:15 - Practical Daily Movement & Recovery Strategies01:53:00 - Showing Up Better: Redefining Health, Performance, and Life02:00:45 - Closing Thoughts & Architectural Adventures with Adrian Ramsay Hosted on Acast.

Most people chase happiness as a feeling and wait for certainty before making big decisions, and both instincts quietly backfire. Dr. Arthur Brooks joins Dr. Gabrielle Lyon to break down what happiness is and how to act on it.In this episode, Dr. Gabrielle Lyon and Dr. Arthur Brooks discuss:The three "macronutrients" of happiness - enjoyment, satisfaction, and meaning, and why pursuing pleasure alone leads to detox, not happinessA usable rule for any hard decision: aim for roughly 80% excitement, 20% fear, and near-zero "deadness" once you have about 80% situational awarenessWhy solo pleasures don't stick if you're doing it alone, you're probably doing it wrong, and how enjoyment requires people plus memoryHow GLP-1s, SSRIs, and hormonal shifts can dull motivation, reward, and desire, and why knowing this gives you power over itSimple tech protocols: phone-free first hour, meals, and last hour that protect oxytocin, meaning, and connectionUnderstand happiness as something you build rather than something you wait to feel, and you walk away with concrete tools to decide better, connect deeper, and stop mistaking achievement for love.Want ad-free episodes?

What happens when someone appears confident, connected, and successful on the outside while privately navigating anxiety, avoidance, pressure, and self-doubt?In this episode of unMASKing with Male Educators, Ashanti sits down with educator, coach, connector, podcast host, and social impact leader Ron Rapatalo to explore identity, vulnerability, high performance, community, leadership, and the emotional weight people often carry behind their public image.Together, they reflect on the version of ourselves we share publicly, the struggles we protect privately, and why true self-awareness requires looking beyond achievement, visibility, and professional success.This conversation dives into:Ron's journey as the child of Filipino immigrants and a product of New York City public schoolsWhy education became an equalizer in his lifeHow Filipino cultural values shaped his commitment to community and connectionThe difference between a public brand and the person behind itWhy vulnerability is often shared only after it has been processedHow high performers can hide anxiety, avoidance, and private strugglesThe emotional and physical cost of constantly needing to succeedWhy educators should not have to sacrifice their health to serve othersHow ADHD, anxiety, deadlines, and performance can become deeply connectedWhy excellence does not have to look like sufferingThroughout the conversation, Ashanti and Ron explore what it means to be visible without being fully known. They remind listeners that achievement does not erase struggle, vulnerability is not weakness, and the people who appear strongest may still be carrying experiences others cannot see.If you care about educator wellness, leadership, identity, high performance, emotional health, vulnerability, community, social impact, or creating more human-centered professional spaces, this episode is for you.Connect with Ron RapataloEmail: rapatalo@gmail.comPodcast: https://ronderings.podcastsmatter.com/LinkedIn:https://www.linkedin.com/in/rapatalo/?skipRedirect=trueConnect with Ashanti BranchInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/branchspeaks/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/BranchSpeaksX: https://x.com/BranchSpeaksLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/ashantibranch/Website: https://www.branchspeaks.com/Support the Podcast & Ever Forward ClubHelp us continue creating spaces for young men to be seen, heard, and supported:https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/branch-speaks/supportConnect with Ever Forward ClubInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/everforwardclubFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/everforwardclubX: https://x.com/everforwardclubLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/the-ever-forward-club/#UnMASKingWithMaleEducators #MaleEducators#BehindHighPerformance #WhatSuccessHides #HighPerformers #EducatorWellness #LeadershipAndVulnerability 

Why does the same boundary tool work brilliantly for one person and fall flat for the next? In this episode Dr Jo Braid unpacks why recovery strategies aren't one-size-fits-all, and how to stop forcing yourself into someone else's system. Prompted by a recent workshop with a room of physios and occupational therapists, where one manager's search for focus time revealed just how differently people respond to the same list of tools: a closed door, a sign, headphones, do not disturb. All valid. None universal. Jo breaks down why strategy adherence depends on fit, not discipline, drawing on implementation science, occupational context across academic, clinical and business roles, and stress neuroscience from Dr Amy Arnsten's work at Yale. Then she runs the four pillars, Mindset, Support, Movement, Sleep, through a personality lens so you can find the version that's actually yours. This episode closes out The High Performer's Paradox series. You'll learn: – Why a recovery tool you've abandoned might be wrong for you, not a discipline failure – How academic, clinical and business burnout profiles differ – The neuroscience of why unfamiliar strategies are harder to sustain under stress – How to adapt one pillar this week to actually fit your wiring Connect with Jo: IG/FB: @burnoutrecoverydr LinkedIn: Dr Jo Braid Newsletter, The Sunday Long Game: https://drjobraid.com/subscribe New: 12 Boundary Scripts — real language for the moments you know you should say no. $47, or upgrade to the video masterclass for $97. drjobraid.com/store Produced by Propodcaststudio.

What does connection mean to you? How do you know when you're feeling connected?Connection is foundational to building trust, and trust is an essential quality that any team or relationship needs to grow.Yet in many relationships, both personally and professionally, we tolerate disconnection. We miss the early signals of missed deadlines, the subtle cues of quiet resentment, and the team that's compliant and even productive, but not engaged.  Until disconnection creates the distrust, the dis-ease, and the erosion of psychological safety that, left unchecked, hijacks even the strongest relationships, teams, and organizations.Leaders and their teams need to not only learn to identify markers of disconnection early, but to also develop the skills to repair it. The goal isn't a team that never ruptures. It's a team that knows how to reconnect.That's why I'm so excited to talk with my guest today about her work that integrates well-being science, positive psychology, and systems-level leadership to help organizations uncover what it takes to build connected, thriving teams where well-being and high performance can truly coexist.Jamie Shapiro, PhD, is a Keynote Speaker, Master Certified Executive Coach, organizational psychologist, researcher and the CEO of Connected EC. Jamie's approach blends science, strategy, and lived leadership experience to her work with CEOs and executive teams navigating growth, complexity, and cultural transformation.Jamie is the author of Brilliant: Be the Leader Who Shines Brightly Without Burning Out and Connected Culture: The New Science for Thriving Teams and Cultures. She is also the founder of the Leader and Organization Vitality (LOV) Center, a research institute that advances the science of leadership vitality, culture, and performance and bridges the gap between research and real-world practice.Listen to the full episode to hear: How Jamie's personal experience with cycles of burnout in the corporate world informs her research and coaching practiceThe physical, mental, and emotional impacts of trust and connection on teamsWhy Jamie's model for thriving teams has trust, care, and connection at its coreWhat corporate culture consistently gets wrong about candid communication and the number one way to improve itWhat we can learn from chickens about building high-performing teamsHow psychological safety and connection positively drive performanceLearn more about Jamie Shapiro:Connected ECConnect on LinkedInBrilliant: Be The Leader Who Shines Brightly Without Burning OutConnected Culture: The New Science for Thriving Teams and CulturesLearn more about Rebecca:rebeccaching.comWork With RebeccaThe Unburdened Leader on SubstackSign up for the weekly Unburdened Leader EmailResources:Links The Gifts of Imperfection, Brené BrownLoneliness: Human Nature and the Need for Social Connection, John T Cacioppo and William PatrickThe Neuroscience of Trust, Paul J.

Jake and Damian tackle the question underneath almost every High Performance conversation: what do the best actually do differently, day to day?Not the big moments. The small, repeatable ones. Because across hundreds of conversations on this show, the pattern is rarely talent or luck. It's that high performers have built a handful of habits they hold onto when nobody is watching, and they keep doing them long after most of us would have forgotten about them.In this episode, Jake and Damian hear from:Jamie Peacock on why a life of hard decisions becomes an easier life, and the moment on a training pitch in Australia when Damian was on the receiving end of one.James Clear on why grit is really about fit, and the question to ask before you commit to any new habit.Emily Maitlis on the five minutes of golden time she takes before every interview, including the one at Buckingham Palace.Mel Robbins on why she still needs the five second rule to get out of bed, thirteen years after inventing it.Dan Carter on earning your weekend, and why drifting through the week is the opposite of high performance.If there's a habit you keep meaning to start, pick one of these five and begin there.Thanks to our partners: Revolut Business

What if your "trauma" is actually your nervous system doing exactly what it was designed to do?  Gloria is back on the Inner Child Podcast after a summer break to share how the healing industry is shifting from a "diagnostic" approach, to a heart-centred model of mental health! Plus, an exciting new announcement about a brand new podcast segment, where YOU can receive 1-1 healing from Gloria- for free!Mentioned In Episode:

What if the next level of leadership isn't about doing more—but learning to lead differently from within?In this episode of the Conscious Leadership Revolution, Susan Hobson sits down with high-performance leadership advisor and Inner Space Mindfulness founder Sher Rana to explore what it means to lead with calm power in a world defined by pressure, disruption, uncertainty, and accelerating change.After a traumatic brain injury disrupted Sher's career and sense of identity, she began a profound journey into neuroplasticity, mindfulness, self-compassion, and the deeper architecture of sustainable high performance.Together, Susan and Sher unpack why awareness is foundational to conscious leadership, how attachment to achievement and identity can create suffering, and why today's leaders need the capacity to regulate their nervous systems, maintain clarity under pressure, and remain deeply connected to their humanity.They also explore the evolution from self-actualization to self-transcendence—the point where leadership becomes less about proving yourself and more about serving something bigger than yourself.In this conversation, you'll discover:• Why conscious leadership begins with awareness• What “calm power” looks like in high-pressure environments• Why self-compassion can become a high-performance advantage• How leaders can move beyond autopilot and reactivity• Why the inner game matters even more in the age of AI• The connection between conscious leadership, parenting, teams, and culture• Why legacy leadership ultimately requires moving beyond the egoThe future of leadership will demand more than intelligence, strategy, and execution. It will require clarity, presence, compassion, emotional regulation, and the courage to lead from the inside out.Because when leaders change how they lead themselves, they change what becomes possible for everyone around them.

In Week 5 of this special six-part Mental Toughness Academy series on The Burn Podcast, Ben Newman brings everything together by introducing two of the most impactful tools for creating lasting success: The Prizefighter Day Morning and Your Legacy Statement.After discovering your Burn, strengthening your belief, learning to reframe adversity, and building your Prize Fighter Day, it's time to create the daily routines and environment that make mental toughness a way of life.

Ben also challenges you to identify the limiting beliefs, distractions, and environments that have been holding you back so you can intentionally create one that fuels continual peak performance.This week isn't about learning something new. It's about putting every lesson into practice so your mindset, habits, and environment work together every single day.Because your legacy isn't created someday.It's built by the choices you make today.----------------------------------Download Your Prizefighter day - Assessment worksheet here- https://drive.google.com/file/d/1HvhIv5A_XftIjm-ZxUmymlu_8awQZvvi/view?usp=sharingDownload Your Prizefighter day Morning -https://drive.google.com/file/d/1zNSrl_x-JeQoyjb32wUl97xiZSinkWqv/view?usp=sharingDownload Your Legacy Statements. -https://drive.google.com/file/d/1G5BOwRjemEPKCzXCi_SaXNYBfbp55H4l/view?usp=sharingPurchase your Mental Toughness playbook  - https://a.co/d/0bESdAooPurchase your YOUR Burn Journal & Prizefighter Day Yearly Tracker - https://a.co/d/0aDN69s2----------------------------------Ready to take the next step?Visit www.WorkWithBNC.com to learn more about the Mental Toughness Academy, connect with our team, and get your questions answered.Don't miss the opportunity to grow as a coach and leader.Join Ben Newman for The Leaders Academy beginning September 16—an 8-week live coaching experience designed to challenge your thinking, raise your standard, and elevate your leadership.www.bennewmancoaching.com/leaders-academy---------------------------------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 messageOrder my latest book The STANDARD: Winning at YOUR Highest Level: https://amzn.to/3DE1clY1st Phorm | The Foundation of High Performance Nutrition1stPhorm.com/bnewmanConnect with me everywhere else:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/continuedfightFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/Continuedfight/Twitter: https://twitter.com/ContinuedFightLinkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/ben-newman-b0b693

A top performer can still be a terrible investment. If their results come at the expense of your team, your culture, and your standards, the real cost is much higher than their monthly revenue. In this episode of The Level Up Podcast, Paul Alex breaks down why tolerating toxic high performers can quietly destroy morale, weaken leadership, and push your best people out the door. Talent does not excuse bad behavior. When one employee is allowed to break the rules because they produce strong numbers, everyone else notices. And eventually, they stop believing the standards matter. In this episode, you'll learn: • Why tolerating toxic behavior becomes a silent endorsement• How one high performer can damage the morale of an entire team• Why the hidden cost of turnover can outweigh one person's revenue• How enforcing standards protects culture and strengthens leadership The truth is simple: Culture is defined by the worst behavior you are willing to tolerate. Set the standard. Address the problem. Give people the opportunity to correct it. And if they refuse, protect the team. You cannot build a powerful company on a toxic foundation.

On this episode of The Ty Brady Way, Ty sits down with Paul Salter to talk about performance psychology, hypnotherapy, limiting beliefs, and what keeps high performers stuck even when they know exactly what to do.   Paul shares how his interest in performance began as a small high school athlete looking for every possible advantage. He became fascinated by elite competitors like Michael Jordan, Kobe Bryant, Tiger Woods, and Roger Federer. They trained hard like everyone else, but their mindset helped separate them from the competition.   That curiosity led Paul into competitive bodybuilding and a career as a sports dietitian. He worked with collegiate, professional, and Olympic athletes before helping men and women who repeatedly lost and regained the same weight. Over time, he noticed a common pattern. Most people already knew what to eat, how to train, or what action to take. The real problem was that something kept stopping them from following through.   Paul eventually discovered hypnotherapy while pursuing professional poker. Even though he was studying and working harder than many of his competitors, he continued struggling. After hiring a mindset coach and hypnotherapist, his confidence, decision-making, and results changed dramatically. That experience led him to leave poker, become a certified hypnotherapist, and focus fully on mindset and performance coaching.   Ty and Paul discuss what hypnosis actually is and what it is not. Paul explains that it is not mind control, brainwashing, or making people do embarrassing things. It is a natural state of focused awareness, similar to becoming absorbed in a book, television show, work project, or athletic performance.   Hypnosis allows Paul to quiet the harsh inner critic and work with the subconscious mind, where habits, beliefs, memories, and emotions are stored. He says challenges such as perfectionism, procrastination, imposter syndrome, fear of failure, and performance anxiety are learned patterns. Because they were learned, they can also be unlearned.   Paul shares the story of a nonprofit founder who struggled to speak confidently around wealthy and powerful men. As a child in foster care, she had learned that staying quiet and unseen helped keep her safe from abusive male figures. Even though her adult circumstances were different, the old belief continued showing up in business meetings. By addressing the original pattern, she gained the confidence to communicate clearly and secure millions of dollars in funding.   The conversation also explores why changing your life can sometimes create tension with the people closest to you. Paul explains that humans are biologically wired to belong. When someone begins exercising, eating differently, building a business, or changing old habits, friends and family may respond with jealousy, criticism, or resistance. The fear of losing those relationships can quietly pull a person back toward old behaviors.   Paul also shares two difficult seasons from his own entrepreneurial journey. At one point, more than 90 percent of his income came from one coaching company. He realized he was trapped trading time for money, so he walked away, invested heavily in coaching, raised his prices, and rebuilt the business around the work he truly wanted to do.   Later, becoming a father challenged his identity and priorities. Paul had always treated his business as his first love, but caring for his son forced him to rethink his schedule, values, and definition of success. Today, he works fewer hours and spends more time with his son, even though the path there looked very different from what he expected.   You'll also hear Paul explain why authenticity matters more in a world filled with AI content. Early in his podcasting career, listeners told him his information was valuable but he sounded like a robot. That feedback taught him that people connect with honesty, imperfection, and personality more than a flawless script.   Paul closes by sharing two ways to move forward when you feel stuck. First, create a daily practice of silence, stillness, and solitude. Even five minutes without a phone or distraction can help you reconnect with your intuition and priorities. Second, ask for help. A coach, mentor, or therapist can help you identify blind spots and reach your goals faster.   If you want to break limiting beliefs, improve your performance, and stop letting old patterns control your future, this episode is for you.   As always, we would like to hear from you!  

You know you need to make a change. You can feel it. And somehow — despite wanting it, despite knowing it matters — nothing happens. Here's what I need you to hear: that's not a willpower problem. That's your brain doing exactly what it was designed to do. And once you understand it, you cannot unsee it. What You'll Learn in This Episode ✨ Why your brain is literally wired to resist change — and why that's not a character flaw ✨ The status quo bias: why familiar misery feels safer than uncertain growth, and what to do about it ✨ How to stop personalizing setbacks and start treating every "failure" as data that moves you forward ✨ Why nervous system regulation isn't optional — it's the foundation for building any new habit ✨ The Future Self identity shift (from Benjamin Hardy) that changes the way you make decisions ✨ A simple habit stacking formula from James Clear you can put into practice today The Big Takeaway Failure is not a verdict. It's information. When you lost that account, when the pitch didn't land, when you hit snooze for the seventh time — that was data, not a definition of who you are. The resilient mindset doesn't pretend setbacks don't sting. It mines them for what's actually useful and keeps moving with more information than before.   This one is all about R — Resilient Mindset. It's the foundation of the RISE Method, and this episode goes deep.   Ready to go deeper?

After last week's episode on the traps keeping high-achieving women stuck in their bodies, I'm flipping the script and sharing the six mindset shifts that have actually bulletproofed me (in my fitness, my business) and my life over the last 14+ years. We're covering radical ownership even when something genuinely isn't your fault, why the biggest goals require the most support (not the least), why I actively seek out failure instead of avoiding it, why "always something, never nothing" has replaced all-or-nothing thinking in my life, what it actually means to jump and build the parachute on the way down, and why believing everything is figureoutable might be the single most important mindset any high performer can adopt.   These aren't feel-good affirmations, they're the specific, repeatable mental shifts I use with myself and with my clients to keep moving forward when things get harder, not easier, the more you grow. If you're the woman who's used to being good at things and shrinks a little when you're not, this episode is your permission slip to get messy, ask for help, and trust that you'll figure it out — because you already have, more times than you're giving yourself credit for.   For the high-achieving hot girls that want to recover better, support glowier skin, and promote longevity through better cellular health, get up to 39% off Mitopure Gummies with code EMDUNC and make wellness easier than ever.

If anything, it only made the problem worse.” — Karolina RzadkowolskaKey TakeawaysHigh Performance Thrives on ClarityMany of today's most successful entrepreneurs, authors, and thought leaders have one thing in common—they've minimized or eliminated alcohol. Operating at your highest level requires energy, creativity, and mental clarity that alcohol often quietly steals.Alcohol Can Become a Band-Aid for a Bigger ProblemWhether it's stress, burnout, insecurity, or feeling disconnected from your purpose, alcohol often numbs emotions instead of resolving them. Lasting fulfillment comes from addressing what's underneath—not escaping it.Confidence Comes From Keeping Promises to YourselfOne of the greatest transformations people experience during an alcohol-free journey isn't simply feeling healthier—it's rebuilding self-trust. Every decision to honor your goals strengthens your confidence and reinforces the belief that you're capable of creating meaningful change.Your Brain Is More Powerful Than You ThinkKarolina explains how taking a break from alcohol creates a unique window of neuroplasticity, allowing your brain to form new habits, challenge limiting beliefs, and become more open to pursuing opportunities that once felt impossible.You Don't Have to Quit Forever to Learn Something NewQuestioning your relationship with alcohol isn't about labels or restrictions. Sometimes the most valuable first step is simply taking a break long enough to discover how you think, feel, create, and connect without it.Connect with Karolina Rzadkowolska

Time for a guided visualization exercise: how to stop feeling like you're not enough. Maybe you've felt it before. You finish one big project… Only to immediately start thinking about the next one. You reach the goal… But somehow, it still doesn't feel like enough.  Maybe you've spent years being the dependable one. The one everyone counts on. The one who quietly carries more than anyone realizes. Maybe you've even worn the label proudly... High Performer. And there's absolutely nothing wrong with ambition. There is nothing wrong with wanting to build meaningful things. To make a difference. To create. To leave the world a little better than you found it. Ambition is a beautiful thing. It helps us grow. It helps us serve others. It helps us become who we're capable of being. But somewhere along the way... Ambition quietly accepted a job it was never meant to have. Instead of simply helping you create… it began deciding whether you were worthy. Whether you'd done enough. Whether you'd become enough. And that's an impossible job. Because there will always be another goal. Another mountain to climb. Another finish line waiting just beyond the horizon. So today... I don't want to invite you to become less ambitious. I want to invite you into a new relationship with ambition. One where your work reflects your values... Instead of determining your value. One where you still create extraordinary things... But you no longer ask today's accomplishments to tell you who you are. Let's explore that together. And so… to kick off the month, today is another guided visualization episode, which we release on the first Tuesday of every month this season. So, how does it work? Simple! Let my voice be a guide for you as you focus inward to help you tap into your inner wisdom and Intuition for answers. Listen and participate in this guided visualization exercise: How to stop feeling like you're not enough. You can do this, I believe in you. It's time to SIMPLIFY.

In this episode of The A Game Podcast, Nick Lamagna sits down with Brandon Mccaghren (aka "B Mac") - double black belt under Eddie Bravo of 10th Planet Jiu Jitsu and Carlos Machado, head instructor at 10th Planet Decatur, elite grappling commentator for EBI, CJJ, UFC Fight Pass, and co-founder and commissioner of the Professional Grappling Federation (PGF) - for a conversation packed with mindset gold, business wisdom, and Jiu Jitsu philosophy. Brandon opens up about the blunt conversation with his wife that got him on the mats in the first place, the eight years he spent as a youth minister before finding martial arts, and how a "corny little redneck" from Lawrence County, Alabama became one of the most recognizable teachers and voices in grappling. He shares why he refuses to build his identity around any one title, how his background as a musician shaped the way he teaches and improvises on the mat, and why first principles thinking - not memorizing moves - is what actually creates mastery. Brandon also gets into the real story behind PGF, the league he's building with co-founder Keelan, Five Finger Death Punch's Zoltan Bathory, and Gracie family member Heather to become the first true team-and-season sports model Jiu Jitsu has ever had, and why he believes it's the key to finally giving grapplers a sustainable career path. In this episode you'll discover: ✅Why taking feedback without tying it to your identity is the real key to growth ✅The first principles approach to teaching that makes complex moves simple ✅How his background as a musician shaped his creativity and improvisation on the mat ✅The "document don't create" philosophy that built his personal brand ✅Inside the Professional Grappling Federation and the plan to scale to 32 teams This isn't just a story about Jiu Jitsu. It's about mentorship, reinvention, first principles thinking, and building something built to outlast you.   Connect with Brandon: bjj365.club Brandon Mccaghren on Instagram Brandon Mccaghren on Facebook Brandon Mccaghren on YouTube Brandon Mccaghren on LinkedIn Brandon Mccaghren on Twitter Brandon Mccaghren on TikTok Brandon Mccaghren on Threads   Connect with Professional Grappling Federation: pgf.world PGF on Instagram PGF on Facebook PGF on YouTube PGF on LinkedIn PGF on Twitter PGF on TikTok PGF on Threads PGF on Kick   Connect with 10th Planet Decatur: www.decaturbrazilianjiujitsu.com 10th Planet Decatur on Instagram 10th Planet Decatur on Facebook 10th Planet Decatur on Twitter   --- Connect with Nick Lamagna www.nicknicknick.com Text Nick (516)540-5733 Connect on ALL Social Media and Podcast Platforms Here FREE Checklist on how to bring more value to your buyers

Fads and good marketing have sold you a lie.  And as a result you're not where you want to be physically.  Instead of getting strong, jacked, and lean, you're in the same spot you were in a year ago.  That's because the gimmicky training programs you see today aren't designed to produce a result. They're designed to make you tired so you FEEL like you're making progress.  As a high performer, you don't have time for that nonsense.  On today's show I breakdown what makes a program suck (so you don't get sold another lie) and how you should train if you want to see real results.  Enjoy the show.
