Mindset Matters. In this week's Team Never Quit Podcast, we are honored to host a remarkable individual who has not only mastered the art of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu but has also conquered the world's highest peak – Mount Everest. Join us as Marcus and Melanie delve into the incredible journey of Cesalina Gracie. Hailing from a family that pioneered and revolutionized this martial art, Cesalina has carried the torch forward, dedicating her life to mastering the intricacies of Jiu-Jitsu. Cesalina shares insights into the mental and physical preparation required for both the Jiu-Jitsu arena and the formidable slopes of Everest. How do the principles of discipline, resilience, and focus intertwine between the mats and the mountains? Listen in and be inspired by this incredible woman of purpose and power. Whether you're a Jiu-Jitsu enthusiast, an aspiring mountaineer, or someone navigating life's challenges, Cesalina's journey offers invaluable insights that transcend boundaries. In this episode you will hear: • Back in the day, there were eighteen martial arts, different clans that had different practices in Japan, and they all ended with “Jitsu.” (7:08) • There are no bad kids. There's bad environments for kids. (10:41) • [Jiu Jitsu] is an equalizer of emotions for kids. Jiu Jitsu is gonna honor your personality. (11:04) • Nobody needs to tell us where you're gonna find the environment, because when you walk in, the systems that are in place teach you before you hear a word from your coach. (12:54) • [My grandfather] saw immediately what the power of that art was and the incredible responsibility that came with it. (13:45) • This [Jiu Jitsu] is a tool for self-development. I'm not here to learn how to fight. I'm here to feel powerful and feel capable without having to look powerful and look capable. (14:00) • That's the beautiful thing about Jiu Jitsu, is that it lives on the inside. (14:21) • [My family] proved the efficiency of Jiu Jitsu to the rest of the world. (20:43) • If the whole world learns these tools, we're gonna live in a society that is more peaceful, that is more respectful, because when you have human beings that are self-confident and compassionate, you start changing the way we interact with each other, and we start changing the way we live our lives. (21:19) • As a grown up, I understand the difference between winners and champions. (30:06) • The most important thing about Jiu Jitsu that it builds and internal constitution that is so strong that you can deal with anything in life. (38:26) • The greatest value of Jiu Jitsu is applied outside of the mat. (42:29) • Ultimately, the greatest skill you can have is awareness. (45:54) • We have to be brutally honest with ourselves as to where we're standing in life. (55:51) • What's actually gonna take you to the top are the mindsets that you've created in your journey in Jiu Jitsu. (61:20) • [While climbing Mount Everest] the one question that I did not ask myself was “should I go back to Everest Base Camp?” (63:35) • Another part that was really hard [while climbing Mount Everest] was when I saw dead bodies in the mountain for the first time. (63:47) • I hope everyone gets to experience something in their lives that they have a hard time describing. (72:22) • When I got back to base camp, I immediately called my family, because I didn't tell anybody I was climbing Mount Everest. (82:21) • Champions are still champions even when they lose. (87:27) • When you have confidence in yourself, you solve so many problems.

The framework that top achievers swear by isn't a secret anymore and in this episode I am sharing with you exactly what it is. In this week's Monday Morning Mojo, I'm breaking down Gary Keller's Six Personal Perspectives: a simple but powerful system that world-class performers use to keep growing, breaking through ceilings, and creating extraordinary results. Listen now to learn: What really separates people who achieve at the highest levels from those who stall out Why being “busy” might actually be the thing holding you back from real results What causes that frustrating ceiling you keep hitting when your usual strategies stop working Why some people keep growing year after year while others plateau, and how to shift into the first group The hidden beliefs that quietly sabotage your success and keep you stuck in old pattern Whether you're building a business, leading a team, or chasing a personal goal, these six perspectives will show you how to think, act, and focus like the most successful people in the world. Resources: Monday Morning Mojo Journal Episode 41 - Mindset Matters with Special Guest Molly de Mattos Episode 55 - Move from E to P Episode 67 - Mindset Reset with Special Guest Orly Steinberg Quotes to Remember: Your mindset is a combination of what you're thinking, how you're motivating yourself, and the actions that follow. Your 20% activities deserve your first attention (in the 80/20 principle). As your knowledge base increases, so will your capacity and your potential. Our beliefs are the rules we live by; and those beliefs are either moving you forward or holding you back.

Why Mindset Matters in Endurance Sports and How a Coach Can Help Navigate the Minefield - Episode 3 - Recognizing Your Controllables & Uncontrollables In this podcast series, QT2 Owner and Head Coach Tim Snow shares his views, informed by more than twenty years of racing and coaching endurance sports, on how an athlete's mindset can have a profound impact on performance. In sports, as in life, there are always things that you cannot control. The list is seemingly endless. But, what you can control is how you respond, If it's hot and humid on race day, how will you respond? If you get a flat tire on the bike, how will you respond? If you get hit on the head in the swim, how will you respond? In this episode, Coach Tim walks you through how to identify what you can control and what you can't control. He then discusses strategies on how to subjectively respond to the uncontrollable conditions and also the importance of objectively evaluating performance based on those uncontrollable conditions.

In this episode of Mindset Matters, hosts Patrick and Steffany dive into one of life's greatest paradoxes: our search for certainty in an uncertain world. Together, they explore how fear, worry, and anxiety often arise from the human need to control the uncontrollable, and why learning to embrace uncertainty may be the key to resilience, creativity, and peace of mind. Patrick frames uncertainty as the space between what we know and what we cannot yet see, pointing out how this gap often produces stress, decision fatigue, and even physical health challenges. Steffany adds that our brains are wired for prediction, and when outcomes are unclear, the body reacts with a threat response, flooding us with stress hormones like cortisol. This not only affects mental well-being but also impacts how we show up in our relationships, careers, and goals. Rather than resisting uncertainty, Patrick and Steffany encourage listeners to view it as a blank canvas, a whiteboard where possibility and creativity can flourish. They emphasize that resilience is built when we stop trying to control every outcome and instead focus on what we can manage - our mindset, our responses, and our values. Drawing on their coaching experience, they share how certainty can be borrowed and shared. When one person holds confidence and belief, it can help calm the doubts of another. This powerful dynamic not only builds trust but also reinforces that uncertainty does not have to equal fear. Ultimately, the hosts challenge listeners to shift perspective: uncertainty is not a threat but life's greatest constant, offering opportunities to adapt, grow, and thrive.

Why Mindset Matters in Endurance Sports and How a Coach Can Help Navigate the Minefield - Episode 2 - Setting & Managing Appropriate Expectations. In this podcast series, QT2 Owner and Head Coach Tim Snow shares his views, informed by more than twenty years of racing and coaching endurance sports, on how an athlete's mindset can have a profound impact on performance. In Episode 2, Coach Tim takes a deep dive into the first strategy for altering mindset - setting & managing appropriate expectations. This strategy is written to the athlete who anytime they lace up expects a PR and/or the athlete who loses sight on where they are in a training process. Training plans are written to target a specific race at a specific time. If an athlete wants to race earlier in the training cycle, the athlete will not be at 100%. Should they still race? Yes, if, but only if, expectations match their training status. Learn more about QT2 Systems at www.qt2systems.com
In this special milestone episode of Mindset Matters, Patrick and Steffany celebrate their 200th conversation — four years of showing up every week to explore the thoughts that shape our lives. What began as small, incremental steps — “bricks” laid one at a time — has become something much larger: a body of work, a philosophy, and a practice that has not only shaped them but also deeply impacted their listeners. Reflecting on this journey, they share the lessons learned through consistency, vulnerability, and growth. From navigating the divisiveness of recent years to launching new programs like Mind Shui and the Lift newsletter, Patrick and Steffany discuss how their podcast became both a record of their evolution and a platform for meaningful dialogue. They highlight the truth that clarity creates velocity, and that momentum is built one conversation, one step, at a time. The episode dives into profound takeaways: the importance of discipline over habits, the need to embrace discomfort as a catalyst for change, and the willingness to be misunderstood as part of living authentically. Steffany reflects on overcoming resistance to change, and how dropping expectations allowed her to show up with greater creativity and presence. Patrick emphasizes how identity shapes behavior, reminding listeners that we must become the person capable of achieving our goals, rather than waiting for achievement to define us. Together, they explore the role of hidden beliefs — like “not enough” or “unworthy” — and how these subconscious narratives can quietly sabotage growth if left unchallenged. They also reflect on the natural evolution of relationships, the resilience forged through change, and the courage required to say “no” without apology. Ultimately, this milestone episode is less about looking back and more about looking forward. Patrick and Steffany invite listeners to join them in pushing the cart up the hill — not attached to the outcome, but committed to the journey. With gratitude, humor, and hard-won insight, they remind us that the whole is greater than the sum of its parts, and that our own transformation unfolds one intentional step at a time

Why Mindset Matters in Endurance Sports & How a Coach Can Help Navigate the Minefield - Episode 1 - What Is Mindset? In this podcast series, QT2 Owner and Head Coach Tim Snow shares his views, informed by more than twenty years of racing and coaching endurance sports, on how an athlete's mindset can have a profound impact on performance. In Episode 1, Coach Tim sets the framework for the rest of the series, defining Mindset as the lens through which we we see the world. How we see a situation defines how we approach a solution to the problem, or even if we can see a solution. But yet, Mindset is often ignored. In the following Episodes, Coach Tim will take a deep dive into Mindset Strategies an athlete can use to identify "potholes" and come up with solutions to enable an enhanced performance on race day.

In this insightful episode of Mindset Matters, Patrick and Steffany unpack one of the most pervasive and rarely discussed challenges in personal and professional development: imposter syndrome. Through the powerful story of Claire, a successful architect paralyzed by self-doubt, they explore how high achievers can still feel like frauds despite overwhelming evidence of their competence. This conversation dives into the hidden beliefs of “not enough” and “unworthiness” that often lie beneath imposter syndrome. Patrick reflects on his own journey of feeling like an imposter despite decades of business success, while Steffany shares how performance psychology has taught her — and the elite athletes she coaches — to make peace with their “inner fraud.” Together, they reveal how imposter syndrome doesn't just affect those who have already “made it,” but also holds back those who hesitate to start. Many people stay stuck in a cycle of needing more credentials or waiting for the perfect moment, rather than taking bold action from where they are. They also explore the psychological tools like alter egos and avatars — inspired by athletes like Michael Jordan and performers like Beyoncé — that can help people overcome moments of self-doubt and show up fully, even under pressure. The episode highlights how comparison, judgment, and societal expectations especially around appearance and success, often intensify feelings of fraudulence — especially for women. Ultimately, Patrick and Steffany call listeners to examine where imposter syndrome may be quietly sabotaging their growth, and how authenticity, self-reflection, and gratitude for one's journey can collapse those limiting beliefs.
Your product is great, your service is exceptional, but your sales numbers aren't where you want them to be. The problem might not be your skills—it could be your mindset. In a recent conversation, business expert John Nieuwenburg shared profound insights into the psychology of successful selling. He argues that your beliefs about sales directly impact your effectiveness. If you secretly think sales is "sleazy," you'll struggle, no matter how good your pitch is.

Ever wonder how your beliefs about money shape your financial decisions?
In this deeply reflective episode of Mindset Matters, Patrick and Steffany dive headfirst into a challenging question: Does the world punish honesty? Drawing inspiration from a powerful quote often attributed to George Orwell, “The further a society drifts from the truth, the more it will hate those who speak it,” they open up an unfiltered conversation about the rising tension between truth, conformity, and individual values in today's world. Together, they explore how societal narratives, government systems, and cultural pressures can create emotional suppression, internal conflict, and even physical dis-ease. Patrick frames the discussion through the lens of MindShui– Feng Shui for the mind- asking what mental clutter must be cleared when truth itself feels under attack. Steffany brings in her work with high-performance athletes, highlighting how value-based decision-making is essential, even under extreme pressure. This episode touches on: The difference between objective truth and personal truth How critical thinking is being eroded by repetitive narratives The role of stress in both mental and physical health Why clarity begins with courageously choosing your own values How to remain grounded in a noisy, divided world Patrick and Steffany challenge listeners to ask better questions, listen more deeply, and evaluate what they are defending when they feel offended. Rather than blindly reacting to societal shifts, they encourage purposeful thinking, emotional alignment, and the importance of setting intentions rooted in clarity and compassion. Whether you're feeling anxious, burnt out, or simply overwhelmed by the noise of modern life, this episode offers a grounded invitation to realign with what's true for you – even when the world doesn't applaud it.

In this insightful and emotionally honest episode of Mindset Matters, Patrick and Steffany explore one of their core philosophies: clarity equals velocity. Through personal anecdotes, relationship dynamics, and mental performance coaching principles, they unpack what clarity really means and why it is often more layered and elusive than we realize. They begin by acknowledging that many people aren't even clear that they lack clarity. Like cleaning a house and discovering hidden dust in the corners, gaining clarity requires digging deeper and peeling back layers of beliefs, assumptions, and emotional resistance. Awareness is only the first step. Action must follow. Without it, clarity is just another thought floating in the clutter of indecision. Steffany shares how people often hide behind confusion or delay tactics to avoid taking responsibility for the life they say they want. Patrick echoes that true transformation only happens when we stop blaming, stop making excuses, and fully own our role in the outcomes we're experiencing. They touch on the emotional cost of caring too much about what others think—how judgment, fear, and societal expectations can block us from making aligned decisions. Whether it's choosing a career path to please a parent or avoiding a courageous conversation, the weight of perceived judgment often keeps us stuck. The episode also highlights the power of authentic relationships as mirrors that reflect our growth edges, and how discomfort within those dynamics often signals an opportunity for deeper self-awareness. Ultimately, this episode is a reminder that clarity does not always come in a lightning bolt—it comes from small steps, tough questions, and owning our truth one decision at a time. When you get clear, you move faster and with purpose.

In this powerful and thought-provoking episode of Mindset Matters, Patrick and Steffany dive deep into a concept they call The Michelangelo Effect. Inspired by the legendary sculptor who claimed to “see the angel in the marble and carve until he set him free,” they explore how personal transformation is not about adding more to our lives, but about removing what no longer serves us. Too often, we get caught up in the pursuit of “more” — more doing, more goals, more identities. But what if the real journey is about subtracting the noise, outdated beliefs, and false identities we've picked up along the way? The conversation emphasizes that the masterpiece already exists within us, and our job is to chip away the emotional clutter, the stories we tell ourselves, and the ego's need to be right. Patrick shares candid reflections from his own life about how aging has offered new clarity. He contrasts the drive for more during his younger years with his current desire to simplify and uncover deeper truths. Steffany highlights how in coaching, it's not about fixing people but helping them remove the layers that hide their true potential. Whether it's in our health, relationships, careers, or personal development, this episode invites listeners to ask: What am I willing to remove? Who are the sculptors in my life? And am I brave enough to be one for someone else? This is a conversation about authenticity, acceptance, and the courage to face the parts of ourselves that no longer align with who we truly are. The MindShui path is not about becoming — it's about uncovering.

In this energizing throwback Thursday episode of Mindset Matters, Patrick and Olympic mental performance coach Steffany Hanlen dive deep into a topic that quietly drains our potential: energy leaks. These subtle, often unnoticed drains on our mental, emotional, and physical energy can have a major impact on focus, creativity, and overall well-being. Patrick and Steffany begin by exploring how energy leaks often show up in the form of procrastination, clutter, incomplete tasks, and emotional baggage. From unfiled paperwork to unsaid conversations, these seemingly small “incompletions” clutter the mind and zap energy. Whether it's avoiding a tough email, dodging a difficult conversation, or ruminating over the past or future, every bit of unresolved thought consumes vital energy. They emphasize that energy leaks are often rooted in unmet expectations, broken self-promises, or distractions like gossip and social media. One key insight is that your energy is a limited resource—where you spend it matters. Even high-performing entrepreneurs and elite athletes fall victim to energy drains from disorganization or scattered focus. Steffany offers a powerful tool: make a list of your incompletions and energy leaks. Simply identifying them is the first step toward reclaiming that energy. Ask yourself, “Is this something I can close right now?” If not, put it on a “not now” list and release the guilt. Patrick and Steffany also share how clearing just one incompletion can begin to restore mental clarity and emotional bandwidth. This episode is a wake-up call to take inventory of what's leaking your energy and how to intentionally plug those holes. Whether through mono-tasking, clear communication, or cleaning up emotional clutter, you'll walk away with actionable tools to recharge your inner generator and create more space for what really matters.
