From Eating Disorders, Trauma & Addiction to High Performance | James RoffeyWhat does it take to rebuild yourself when life has completely broken you down?In this powerful episode of The Talking Tradesman, I sit down with James Roffey, a high-performance mindset coach whose own journey through trauma, eating disorders, addiction, and mental health struggles has shaped the work he now does helping others transform their lives.At just 17 years old, James developed an eating disorder that would consume more than a decade of his life. What started as anorexia eventually developed into bulimia, leading him down a path of self-destruction, poor mental health, and a battle to find his identity beyond the struggles he was facing. After years of recovery, self-development, and rebuilding his life from the ground up, James has gone on to coach business owners, leaders, and high-performing men to improve their mindset, health, and overall performance.  This isn't just a conversation about mental health.It's a conversation about what it means to be a man in today's world.We discuss the pressures men face, why so many suffer in silence, the impact of childhood experiences on adult behaviour, and why physical health, fitness, purpose, and accountability are often the foundations for improving mental wellbeing.James shares his own lived experience of trauma, recovery, and resilience, whilst also drawing upon years of coaching experience working with men who are struggling with confidence, direction, stress, burnout, and self-worth. We explore the mindset shifts that create lasting change, why self-awareness is one of the most powerful skills you can develop, and how small daily habits can completely alter the trajectory of your life.We also dive into practical strategies around performance, including fitness, nutrition, recovery, sleep optimisation, biohacking, and the use of technology to improve both physical and mental wellbeing. More importantly, we discuss how these principles can be applied in the real world, particularly within the construction industry, where long hours, physical demands, financial pressure, and poor mental health continue to affect thousands of tradespeople every day.James explains how he has developed coaching programmes specifically designed for tradespeople, helping them improve their physical health, mindset, energy levels, productivity, and overall quality of life without unrealistic expectations or complicated routines.This is an honest conversation about adversity, accountability, resilience, masculinity, personal growth, and what it really takes to become the best version of yourself.In this episode we discuss:• James' battle with anorexia and bulimia• Trauma, addiction, and mental health recovery• The challenges facing men in modern society• Why so many men struggle to ask for help• Mindset, discipline, and personal responsibility• Fitness and mental health• High-performance coaching principles• Self-awareness and emotional intelligence• Biohacking, sleep, recovery, and productivity• Building habits that create lasting change• The unique challenges faced by tradespeople• Improving physical and mental wellbeing in constructionWhether you're a tradesperson, business owner, parent, or someone simply trying to improve their life, this episode is packed with practical insights, honest conversation, and valuable lessons from somebody who's lived through the darkest moments and come out the other side.

In this milestone episode (400), Andrea Samadi celebrates seven years of the Neuroscience Meets SEL Podcast with her husband Majid Samadi. They reflect on the journey of translating neuroscience into practical strategies for performance, learning, and well-being. Together they review core lessons — everything begins with the brain, safety before performance, how thoughts shape biology, the power of movement, recovery as a performance strategy, and the central role of relationships and support. Majid also shares leadership insights from his decades in educational sales, including stress management, motivation, continuous learning, and the guiding motto: do the right thing. They close by looking ahead to the next phase on movement, learning and cognition and invite listeners to subscribe for future episodes. Sales Leadership Under Pressure: Applying the Neuroscience of High Performance to Real-World Leadership Guest: Majid Samadi Listen to YouTube interview here https://youtu.be/SSZH3qwPqf8 Intro: Top 7 Lessons from the past 7 years Guest: Majid Samadi (Interview begins at 10:16) EP 400: Sales Leadership Under Pressure with Majid Samadi In this milestone 400th episode, Andrea welcomes back her husband, Majid Samadi, who first appeared on Episode 1 when the podcast launched in 2019. Together, they reflect on seven years, fifteen seasons, and 400 episodes of exploring the neuroscience behind achievement, leadership, learning, motivation, and human potential. In this episode, we will cover: ✔ The Top 7 Lessons Learned from 7 Years and 400 Episodes ✔ Why understanding the brain changes the way we learn, lead, and perform ✔ The neuroscience of stress, self-regulation, and leadership under pressure ✔ How high-performing leaders sustain motivation without burning out ✔ The connection between movement, learning, cognition, and peak performance ✔ Why relationships are the foundation of leadership and long-term success ✔ The role trust plays in building high-performing teams ✔ Leadership lessons learned through organizational change, uncertainty, and growth ✔ How the definition of success evolves over a lifetime and career ✔ Why no meaningful achievement happens alone As Andrea reflects on the lessons learned from hundreds of conversations with neuroscientists, educators, physicians, psychologists, business leaders, and peak performers, she shares the one lesson that stands above all the rest: Behind every meaningful accomplishment is someone who believed in you enough to help you keep going. Welcome back to Season 15 of the Neuroscience Meets Social and Emotional Learning Podcast. I'm Andrea Samadi, and on this podcast, we bridge the science behind social and emotional learning, emotional intelligence, and practical neuroscience so we can create measurable improvements in well-being, achievement, productivity, and results. Over the past 399 episodes, we've explored the neuroscience behind performance, learning, stress, motivation, and human potential. For this milestone Episode 400, I wanted to do something different. Instead of interviewing another neuroscientist, or reviewing past episodes, we're going to explore what happens when these ideas are applied in the real world. Joining me is someone listeners heard on EP 1[i] my husband, Majid Samadi, where we laid out the framework for future episodes, EP 200[ii] (Why we launched this podcast), and EP 300[iii] (a special episode with my Mom, Hazel MacPhail, where she taught us “how to live the good life”). I'll never forget EP 1, when I asked Majid if he would record with me to help me to launch this podcast thing I wanted to start. He had just come home from working LAUSD (in California) and he put his suit jacket on my desk, and sat down in front of the microphone. I showed him the questions I would ask him, and off we went. I learned that when you start something, it doesn't have to be perfect. Just start. What 15 Seasons Taught Me Before we begin today's conversation, I wanted to take a moment to reflect on what I've learned over the past seven years and 400 episodes of the Neuroscience Meets Social and Emotional Learning Podcast. I had sketched out a framework, and had some ideas of what I wanted to cover on at least the first 50 episodes. When I started this idea in 2019, I thought I was creating a platform to share neuroscience research (as it connected to Social and Emotional Learning). What I didn't realize was that the journey would change me. After hundreds of interviews with neuroscientists, physicians, educators, psychologists, business leaders, and peak performers, there are a few lessons that stand above all the rest. I'll always say it took me 50 episodes to get started. I found it really difficult to ask questions and breathe at the same time. Lesson #1: Everything begins with the brain. Whether we're talking about achievement, learning, leadership, health, relationships, or performance, success starts with understanding how the brain works. When we understand the brain, we stop fighting ourselves and start working with ourselves. We all have our own journey here. Mine started when an educator, Jeff Kleck, from EP 246[iv] challenged me to add neuroscience to my work. This was around 2014 when I had partnered with AZ Department of Education with a character ed/leadership program, and Jeff Kleck told me that I wouldn't go wrong if I wrote a whole new book that focused on the brain and learning. That's when I sat down, and started to study some of the leading researchers in this field. I've heard similar stories from other authors like Dr. Doug Fisher, who told me that he sat in classes with medical students to unwrap how the brain learns best. Lesson #2: Safety comes before performance. One of the most important themes of Season 15 has been that a dysregulated nervous system cannot perform at its best. Before growth, before learning, before leadership, the brain must feel safe. This lesson applies in our homes, our schools, our workplaces, and our relationships. I'll never forget asking Dr. David Stephen on EP 388[v] about a situation where I was under unusual stress, and my eyesight (or ability to read) stopped working. He explained the neuroscience behind this example, that I'll never forget and his solution to my problem that was to eat glucose before any important meeting or presentation. Lesson #3: Our thoughts become biology. Through experts like Dr. Caroline Leaf, Bob Proctor, Dawson Church, and many others, I learned that our thoughts are not just ideas. They influence our chemistry, our attention, our habits, and ultimately our results. What we repeatedly think becomes what we repeatedly do. This one I've believed since my days working in the seminar industry with Bob Proctor. He would hammer this concept into everyone's mind in every seminar. I just always thought this was something he really believed in, until I heard the SAME thing from Dr. Caroline Leaf, and Dr. Korotkov from Russia. It's also behind Dr. Joe Dispenza's work. To this day, I watch the words I think and say out loud. Lesson #4: Movement changes the brain. This lesson became personal. The science is clear: movement improves attention, memory, mood, resilience, and learning. But over the years, I experienced it firsthand through hiking, walking, strength training, and building daily movement into my life. This is how I've always been. I remember putting on my rollerblades when I was 16 and rollerblading to the local YMCA that wasn't really in my neighborhood. Motivation got me moving. Movement changed my brain. And this is how I still find the energy to sit at my desk and write podcasts episodes every Saturday. I have to exercise (or move) first, and then I can create. Over time this has probably been my healthiest habits. Lesson #5: Recovery drives performance. For years I focused on doing more. The neuroscience taught me something different. Growth doesn't happen during effort. Growth happens during recovery. Sleep, stress regulation, recovery, and reflection are not luxuries—they are performance strategies. This took me years to finally put into practice. Lesson #6: Relationships change everything. If there is one lesson that appears in every field of neuroscience, it is this: We are wired for connection. The quality of our relationships influences our health, happiness, resilience, leadership, and longevity. And that brings me to perhaps the most important lesson of all. Lesson #7: No meaningful achievement happens alone. People often see the finished podcast episode. They don't see the support system behind it. For 400 episodes, there has been one person supporting this mission from behind the scenes. My husband, Majid. While I was researching, writing, recording, editing, and building this platform, Majid was encouraging me when things were difficult, celebrating the wins, offering perspective when I needed it, and helping me continue when the path wasn't always clear. Many of these episodes were written because someone believed in me enough to keep me going. The podcast may have my name on it, but it has always been supported by both of us. As we celebrate Episode 400, that's the lesson I want to leave everyone with. Achievement is rarely a solo journey. Behind every meaningful accomplishment is a person, a mentor, a teacher, a spouse, a friend cheering you along the way from the sidelines, or a community that helped make it possible. The neuroscience taught me how the brain works. Life taught me that relationships are what make everything work. And that's why there is no better person to join me for Episode 400 than Majid Samadi. Welcome Majid! Thank you for taking the time to record this milestone episode with me. I know your time is limited. Before we get started, can  you share what it is that you do when you are not being strong armed to record podcast episodes for me? So, we have been covering 5 phases in Season 15, showing how the brain comes online and changes with each phase. So I've got some questions for you that will cover each phase. Does that sound good?

It's her belief that adversity can become a catalyst for growth, that courage often shows up disguised as discomfort, and that the breakthroughs we seek are usually found on the other side of the things that scare us.In this episode, we explore what grit really is, why mindset matters, and how high performance extends far beyond sports. Whether you're leading a business, navigating a challenge, pursuing a goal, or simply trying to become the person you're called to be, Cindra shares practical wisdom that can help you move forward with greater confidence and purpose.As Cindra says, her purpose is to "guide others to play and live FULL OUT." We think you'll find plenty of inspiration to do exactly that in this conversation.Enjoy this re-release of Episode 40 with Dr. Cindra Kamphoff.

In this short podcast from the 8th HVACR Training Symposium's Bry-X stage, Ken Davis shares his experience as an HVAC contractor who has brought vital experience from high-performance medicine to High-Performance HVAC. Ken's experience comes from developing high-reliability organizations (HROs). An HRO has a low fail rate in an industry where high fail rates aren't tolerated due to catastrophic consequences, such as in medicine, nuclear, and aviation industries. This model can also be applied to relatively low-risk industries, like HVAC, to help businesses perform better. Ken had the idea to use the HRO model when he witnessed a traumatic medical emergency and co-founded an air medical program that brought trauma management methods from the hospital to the field. These methods bought time to transport patients to the hospital and improved survivability outcomes; they could also be applied to relatively low-stakes HVAC work and produce better outcomes. One of the key aspects of developing an HRO is to use checklists for complex tasks. Interactive checklists help people think through the procedure and see what they may have forgotten. They also make mistakes visible and show how change is possible; the HVAC professional just needs to have the desire to do better, which can be screened for during the hiring phase by searching for work ethic and personality over experience.  As HVAC professionals, in addition to creating detailed checklists, we can start by getting better at the basics, such as evacuation, airflow measurement, and utilizing software tools like measureQuick. Load calculations are also important, as is the use of software to make sure they're accurate and aid with proper equipment selection. Improving ductwork also has the potential to produce much better outcomes for customers, regardless of whether you use flex or sheet metal ductwork. We can also use advanced tools and testing methodologies (like zonal pressure diagnostics and blower door tests) to sell upgrades that verifiably improve customer indoor air quality, such as dehumidification and better filtration.   Have a question that you want us to answer on the podcast?

Most teams spend their lives trying to reach the top. Very few have to answer the question of what happens when they get there.The Penrith Panthers have won 4 consecutive NRL premierships. In an era designed for parity, they've achieved something almost unheard of in modern sport. Which raises a fascinating challenge.How do you keep people motivated when they've already achieved the goal?How do you maintain standards when success becomes normal? How do you avoid complacency when everyone around you is telling you how good you are?Dan Haesler, Mental Skills Coach for the Penrith Panthers, shares what it takes to sustain excellence after success.But this isn't really about rugby league. It's about leadership, culture, psychology, and human behaviour. Whether you're leading a team, running a business, building a career or pursuing your own goals, eventually you'll face the same challenge: how do you keep growing when you've already won?You can find Dan at his Website:https://danhaesler.com/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/danhaesler/?hl=enLinkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/danhaesler/?originalSubdomain=auBuy a copy of Dan's book: https://www.actofleadership.com/ Use Code "PQPODCAST10" to get 10% off your Lumo Coffee order:https://lumocoffee.com/ Interested in sharing your story?

What if high performance at work isn't a talent you either have or don't — but a system you can practice starting today?In this episode, Patrick introduces the 21-Day High Performance Challenge and walks through the five interdependent characteristics that, together, make up a practice for doing the right things at the highest level you're capable of.We connect this system to the Five Factors of health you already know — because drift, the quiet enemy of excellence, doesn't just happen to your body. It happens to your work, too. And these five characteristics are how you fight back.Whether you join inside the Chase Club, the ChaseTracker app, or with nothing but a notebook and three questions at the end of each day, this challenge is an invitation to close the gap between who you are and who you want to be at work.❤️‍

Cruz Gamboa spent 20+ years climbing to the top of General Electric — closing an $800 million deal, leading capital markets across Latin America, and earning a spot in the executive ranks. Then the CEO called to congratulate him. And he felt completely empty.In this episode of Patterns of Power, Craig Perra sits down with Cruz Gamboa, founder of Ascend Growth Ventures, to unpack what happens when high-performing men reach the goal — and discover it was the wrong one.Cruz gets raw about work addiction, panic attacks, porn use, daily drinking, a marriage that couldn't survive the grind, and the moment a doctor told him the problem wasn't physical. It was between his ears.If you're a driven man privately wondering why success doesn't feel like enough — this conversation is for you.What you'll take away:-Why work addiction is one of the most socially accepted and least recognized dopamine traps-How identity gets fused to professional title — and what it costs when that title changes-The difference between being curious about your dream and being committed to it-Why lack of self-love is the root cause behind every compulsive pattern Craig sees in clients -How to build a mission big enough that bad days become data instead of disasters-The OKR framework for aligning your goals to your actual purpose — not just your metricsWho this is for: Executives, entrepreneurs, and high-performing men who are winning on paper and quietly asking "is this it?"Connect with Cruz Gamboa:LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/cruzgamboaWebsite: https://ascendgrowthventures.comWebsite: www.AscendGrowthVentures.comTake the Self-Sabotage Assessment (free): www.mindfulhabitmastery.com/slstPatterns of Power is the essential playbook for high-performing men ready to dismantle reactive habits and step into their full power.Hosted by Craig Perra, founder of The Mindful Habit System.

Every team is made up of people who think differently, communicate differently, solve problems differently, and contribute in very different ways. Yet in many workplaces, there is still an unspoken expectation that everyone should operate the same way.That is why strengths-based development has become such an important conversation for organizations and leaders. Gallup research has consistently found that employees who have the opportunity to use their strengths every day are significantly more engaged, more productive, and more likely to thrive at work. Understanding how people naturally work, collaborate, respond under pressure, and contribute to a team can completely change the way teams communicate, partner, and perform together.In this episode of Bring Out the Talent, we explore how CliftonStrengths can help individuals and teams better understand working styles, improve collaboration, and recognize both the advantages and potential blind spots that can come with our greatest strengths. We're joined by Chris Soucy, a Certified CliftonStrengths trainer and career development specialist. Chris spent nearly a decade at Harvard University's Center for Workplace Development as a Program Manager for Leader and Manager Development, where he served as Lead Instructor for foundational leadership programs and designed courses to strengthen management practices across the university.Chris recently facilitated an in-person strengths workshop for our TTA team. The conversations that came out of that session sparked so much reflection around communication, contribution styles, and team dynamics that we wanted to continue the discussion here on Bring Out the Talent and share those insights with our audience as well.

This week on the Science for Sport podcast, Richard Graves welcomes Matt Parr back to the show for a deeper look at the work that really drives performance in elite sport. Matt is the Head of Athletic Performance at Leicester Tigers, a former professional rugby player, and the founder of High Performance Puzzle. Having worked across both rugby union and rugby league, including Leicester Tigers and Catalan Dragons, Matt brings a rare combination of playing experience, coaching insight, leadership responsibility, and high-performance strategy. In this episode, Richard and Matt explore the “invisible work” that sits behind successful performance environments. Not the gym programme. Not the GPS report. Not the testing data. But the conversations, decisions, relationships, standards, and judgement calls that determine whether the physical work actually lands. They discuss why data needs context, how performance teams can align with coaches under pressure, what good decision-making looks like when information is incomplete, and why trust remains one of the most important currencies in elite sport. For sports science, S&C, medical, coaching, and performance staff working in elite environments, this episode is a valuable reminder that high performance is not built by data alone. It is built through people, relationships, standards, and the ability to make good decisions when the pressure is on. In this episode you will learn Why the work that drives performance often sits outside the formal programme, session plan, or data report How conversations between coaches, medical staff, S&C, sports science, and players provide vital context What good alignment looks like in a high-performance environment How to manage differing opinions between technical and performance departments Why frameworks are essential when emotions and pressure start to influence decision-making How to make better decisions when you do not have the complete picture Why trust between the head coach, medical team, and performance staff is critical How to use data without becoming over-reliant on it Why standards often slip in small ways before they show up in performance outcomes How relationships can make or break the effectiveness of even the best performance systems Why gut feel still matters, provided it is shaped by experience and reflection How elite practitioners can reflect more effectively on their own decisions and behaviours Why discipline is a habit, not just a personal trait What Matt has learned from working across rugby union and rugby league Why the best players want honest feedback when standards start to slip About Matt Parr Matt Parr is Head of Athletic Performance at Leicester Tigers and founder of High Performance Puzzle. Before moving into strength and conditioning, Matt spent around 14 to 15 years as a professional rugby player, representing clubs including Sale Sharks, Saracens, London Irish, and Leicester Tigers. His transition into performance coaching began at Leicester Tigers, where he initially combined a player-coach role with S&C responsibilities before moving fully into the performance department. Matt has since built extensive experience across both rugby union and rugby league. After progressing through the performance setup at Leicester Tigers, he joined Catalan Dragons as Head of Performance, before returning to Leicester as Head of Athletic Performance. Alongside his role in professional rugby, Matt has launched High Performance Puzzle, a consultancy focused on high-performance strategy, systems, leadership, and integration.

Some words and experiences come with a lot of baggage, conjuring up fear, stigma, and shame.But being afraid or ashamed doesn't protect us from those experiences or those words. It just keeps us from really understanding them or being able to talk about them. And what we can't process for ourselves, we can't help those we love and lead with either.In the clinical space, dissociation is one of those words and experiences that is met with a lot of discomfort. How people were taught and trained to address dissociation often perpetuates shame and stigma, and its pop culture depictions and usage haven't helped either.But my guest today has spent her career making the case that dissociation isn't rare, or even necessarily pathological; it's actually a common and deeply human experience that ranges from everyday zoning out to more complex presentations that do need support. And as you'll hear, Dr. Jamie Marich believes understanding this spectrum isn't just a matter of clinical education, but is vital for our own self-knowledge and how we lead others.Dr. Jamie Marich, PhD, LPCC-S, REAT (she/they) began her career as a humanitarian aid worker in Bosnia-Herzegovina from 2000-2003, primarily teaching English and music. Jamie travels internationally teaching on topics related to trauma, EMDR therapy, expressive arts, mindfulness, and yoga, while maintaining a private practice and online education operations in her home base of Akron, OH. Marich is the founder of the Institute for Creative Mindfulness and the developer of the Dancing Mindfulness approach to expressive arts therapy, and the author of several books on EMDR, dissociation, mindfulness, recovery, and more.

This week, we hear from a coach and 2 of his players what a high-performance developmental program truly looks like.Coach Sukhwa Young grew up in the unlikely-for-tennis-players place of Alaska.

“Safety is at the root of healing.

Have you ever walked into a meeting and felt like everyone was just wearing a mask of professional perfection while their true selves stayed hidden in the parking lot? It is easy to get lost in the data and the dashboards of modern work, but we often forget that the people behind those numbers are what actually drive the results. We all want to be part of a team where we are seen for who we really are rather than just what we can produce. In this episode, I sit down with Veronique Subileau, the Senior Vice President of HR at UGI Corporation, to explore the invisible roots of corporate culture that turn a 140-year-old energy company into a breakthrough environment. Veronique shares her unique philosophy on why leaders must touch the heart before speaking about results, offering practical tools like her four core questions regarding fun and purpose to foster deep human connection. You'll learn how to navigate the tension between high-performance standards and radical authenticity through the company's poetic values framework while discovering why the shadow you cast as a leader determines the energy of your entire team. We also dive into the future of work as Veronique explains how to invest in humans as much as technology by using AI to unleash time so employees can shift from being human doings to true human beings. This episode redefines the role of the leader as a human prompt engineer who knows how to pull unique creativity and heart out of a workforce in an increasingly automated world.

Sami Inkinen is a three-time founder and world-class triathlete. A triathlete! And yet he went to the doctor and discovered he was pre-diabetic. The news triggered a series of changes including a pivot away from his real estate startup Trulia toward his healthcare company Virta Health, where he's now on a mission to reverse metabolic disease in one billion people. And along the way, he developed something he calls sustainable high performance. It's the idea that if you're building something that takes decades, you'd better figure out how to last that long.

Most leaders are trained to perform, strategize, and execute, but there's one skill almost nobody teaches, and it's the difference between leaders who get compliance and leaders who earn devotion. It's called presence, and it has surprisingly little to do with focus.In this episode, Josh sits down with high performance coach Dr. Mark Matthews to break down the Present Protocol, a framework for leading with deep presence at work and at home. Here's what they get into:The "leadership gap" almost no one talks about, and why being focused on someone is not the same as being present with themThe one-line distinction between focus and presence that reframes how you show up as a leaderThe two phases of the Present Protocol, starting with the four capacities of deep presence that most high performers skip right pastWhy presence is the antidote to the loneliness so many founders feel even when they're surrounded by a team every dayThe skill that separates leaders who manage people from leaders who actually move themHow Josh is applying this in the three "home base" areas of his life: his team, his customers, and his familyThe hardest capacity to master, the one that asks you to suspend judgment in real time (Josh shares a 6:30 a.m. story from that very morning)This isn't woo woo, and it isn't another time management hack. It's the relational skill that changes how your team, your customers, and your family experience you.

#230 - Ten Ironman distances in ten days sounds like a headline, but JD Tremblay treats it like a case study. JD is a military veteran, ultra-endurance athlete, and founder of Hungry Warrior Academy, and he joins me to explain how he became one of the rare finishers of the Epic Deca across the Hawaiian islands and why the real secret is not heroic motivation. It is structure, repeatable systems, and the decision to follow them when your mind is loud and your body is tired.We get into the myth that the military “gives” discipline, and JD's sharper take: the military gives structure, and you choose whether you live inside it. From there, we talk about building high performance without burning out, including energy regulation, nervous system shifts from sympathetic fight-or-flight to parasympathetic recovery, and why rest is not a reward but part of the plan. JD also shares his lens on starting versus quitting, the difference between DNS and DNF, and how a simple non-negotiable can become the first brick in a better life.JD opens up about faith, identity, and community, including the moment his son reshapes how he thinks about who he is beyond titles and achievements. He also tells the rawer side of the Epic Deca journey: going into debt, selling his house to fund the race, and hitting a breaking point that forces humility. We even had to pause mid-interview due to an electrical outage, which ends up fitting the theme perfectly: adjust, come back, keep going.If you want practical mindset tools, endurance training lessons, and a clearer definition of discipline you can apply to work, fitness, or family, hit play, then subscribe, share this with someone who needs encouragement, and leave a review so more people can find the show.To learn more about JD and his work with Hungry Warrior Academy please visit www.hungrywarrioracademy.com.

Fear doesn't disappear when you become successful. It just changes shape.In this episode, Jake and Damian go into the archive to ask a question most of us avoid: what are you actually afraid of — and what's it costing you?They're joined by clips from some of High Performance's most memorable conversations: Phil Heath on navigating darkness to find your highest level, Scott McTominay on the self-doubt that never left him through 21 years at Manchester United, Jameela Jamil on 15 years of saying yes to everything and no to herself, and Robin Van Persie on the moment he realised he was the one making it heavy.Plus: why imposter syndrome isn't a syndrome, the difference between overthinking and thinking deeply, and what actually happens when you stop fighting a feeling and just name it.Listen to the full conversations:Jameela Jamil https://pod.fo/e/225b9eScott McTominay https://pod.fo/e/2154f0Phil Heath https://pod.fo/e/2313e6Robin Van Persie https://pod.fo/e/18789Ronda Rousey https://pod.fo/e/23ec96Next week on High Performance: Nico Rosberg — Formula 1 World Champion.

What if the quality that we've been told will weaken us - self-compassion - is actually the key to wellbeing, and higher performance?In this episode, Dr. Kristin Neff, the pioneering researcher who first defined and measured self-compassion, challenges one of the most persistent myths in high-performance culture: that being hard on yourself makes you better. It doesn't. Thirty years of research says otherwise.Kristin Neff unpacks how self-compassion isn't self-pity or laziness, but a profound source of inner stability and flourishing, especially for leaders operating under relentless pressure. We explore why self-esteem is a fair-weather friend that deserts you the moment you fail and why unconditional self-worth is a far more stable foundation for growth and higher productivity. If you lead people, manage under pressure, or simply want to stop letting failure define you, this conversation will change how you think about what it means to thrive.What you will learn: Why self-compassion outperforms self-criticism for performance and growthThe three components of self-compassion and how to practice themHow just 20 seconds a day can measurably raise your self-compassion levelsWhy psychological safety must begin with the individual, not the organizationEpisode Chapters0:36 Introduction to Self-Compassion1:46: Common Myths About Self-Compassion5:32: The Shift from Self-Esteem to Self-Compassion17:28: Three components of Self Compassion17:54: Mindfulness and Self-Compassion39:22: Practical Self-Compassion Practices40:42: 20 Second Micro-Practice (UC Berkeley)RESOURCESConnect with the GuestLinkedIn: Dr. Kristin NeffRecommended Reading: Self Compassion: The power of being kind to yourselfFierce Self compassion: How to Harness Kindness to Speak Up, Claim Your Power, and ThriveWebsite: selfcompassion.orgConnect with the HostLinkedIn: Ashish KothariWebsite: Happiness SquadBook: Hardwired For HappinessYouTube: Happiness Squad ChannelIf this conversation sparked something for you, please subscribe and leave a review, it takes 30 seconds and helps more people discover the show.
