This week on The Trailhead, Zoë and Brendan are joined by performance scientist, coach, and author Steve Magness for a deep dive into the messy, meaningful side of mental toughness. Known for calling BS on outdated notions of grit, Steve shares insights from his latest book, Win the Inside Game, and challenges the idea that suffering is the only path to success. Instead, he makes the case for curiosity, flexibility, and joy as essential ingredients for growth, not just in running, but in life. Together, they explore how identity, external validation, and over-optimization can get in the way of real performance. Steve explains why some of the fastest runners he's coached only started thriving once they let go of the pressure to be a runner, and how elite athletes like Sara Hall have learned to recalibrate their goals to preserve their peace of mind. He makes the case for ditching the data when it stops serving us, and why meaningful community—not metrics—is what actually makes us better. They also unpack what running has to teach us about feeling deeply, building connection, and making space for the full human experience. Whether it's the emotional highs of crewing a friend at 2 a.m., the quiet power of a watchless workout, or the absurd relief of pushing an empty jogging stroller just to feel fast again—this conversation is a funny, honest, and refreshing reminder that running doesn't have to be a grind. It can be recess. And maybe that's the whole point. Up your hydration game LMNT Lemonade and get a sample pack on us! Register for Run for the Ages 10k!

Are you thriving or just surviving? Steve Magness joins Kevin to discuss how many of us operate in psychological survival mode far more often than we realize, treating everyday workplace challenges as threats rather than growth opportunities. They explore the psychological traps of modern stress responses, protective systems, and the impact of flattening our identities. They also cover accepting “messiness”, the balance between short-term comfort and long-term growth, redefining success, and why authenticity must go beyond performance to resonate.

Scott Stallings is a PGA Tour golfer who stepped off the green and ran right into the Boston Marathon - with no experience. In this episode of the Mental Training Lab, I'm joined by Scott and performance expert Steve Magness to explore this athletic and psychological journey.Inspired by Steve's groundbreaking book Do Hard Things, Scott stepped completely outside his comfort zone, confronting challenges that tested his resilience, self-awareness, and mental adaptability. We hear what Scott learned about balancing response and reaction under pressure, how embracing vulnerability unlocked new insights, and why sometimes the most valuable performance lessons come from being willing to feel completely lost.This episode challenges traditional ideas about mental toughness, performance, and embraces the power of a beginner's mindset. If you're looking to push your limits or redefine what you're capable of—whether in sports, business, or everyday life—this conversation is packed with evidence-based insights and relatable wisdom to help you thrive.- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Learn more about The Mental Training LabConnect with Pete on Instagram | LinkedIn | WebsiteSubscribe to the podcast on Apple | Spotify This show is produced and edited by the team at Palm Tree Pod Co.

Season 4, Episode 2 | "Are you chasing fool's gold or real confidence?" In this Strong & Awake episode, Dane and Mitch dismantle the myth of flashy confidence to reveal that true confidence is forged in quiet, disciplined practice. Through Craig's roof-and-ladder challenge and examples from The Millionaire Next Door, Steph Curry, and Kobe Bryant, they show that confidence isn't innate or a performance—it's the sum of small, deliberate reps taken in the face of discomfort. By rejecting victim stories, counting down “3, 2, 1” to act, and focusing on the work over the reward, listeners learn to build authentic confidence in any arena. If you're ready to move beyond shortcuts and cultivate lasting self-assurance, this conversation lights the path.Never Settle Promo Chapters:00:00 Introduction01:15 Member Story - Craig part 102:28 Gold vs. Fool's Gold Confidence06:31 Misconceptions About Confidence13:05 Member Story - Craig part 216:12 Courage as the Virtue that Hinges Confidence25:16 Building Confidence Through CommunityMentions:The Millionaire Next Door - A book mentioned by Dane, which discusses the habits and characteristics of actual millionaires, emphasizing frugality and understated wealth.The Growth Equation - Referenced by Dane, this likely refers to the work of authors Brad Stulberg and Steve Magness, who write about performance and well-being.Steph Curry - NBA player mentioned by Dane as an example of someone who has built confidence through extensive practice and overcoming perceived limitations.Kobe Bryant - Late NBA player mentioned by Dane, known for his work ethic and dedication to improving his skills, even in areas outside of basketball.Ryan Holiday - Author mentioned by Dane, known for his writings on Stoicism and virtues, including courage.Mark Brewer - A member of the Men and Women of Discomfort community, highlighted by Dane for his confidence and ability to handle stressful situations effectively.Anchor Actions:Use “3, 2, 1” – when resistance arises, count down and take one small action toward the discomfort you're avoiding Practice a daily discomfort rep – choose one micro-challenge (e.g., one push-up, one breath hold, one exposure) and follow through every day Log your reps, not results – track one instance daily where you put in work without seeking recognition, and repeat tomorrow Join Us:Our Membership Community (MWOD) is where we embrace discomfort as a path to personal development.

"Confidence demands evidence." In this episode, Nick speaks with performance coach and author Steve Magness about the intersection of mental health, athletic performance, and personal development. What to listen for: Performance coaching helps individuals navigate mental and physical challenges Trauma can set a brain's prediction to be hyper-responsive to stress Mental preparation and visualization are crucial for success in high-pressure situations Self-awareness is key to understanding personal performance and growth Finding a balance between care and obsession can enhance performance Confidence is built through evidence and preparation Visualizing both success and failure helps in managing expectations Sharing the load with others can enhance performance and reduce stress Small tweaks in approach can lead to significant improvements in performance “When we step into the arena, whether that arena is an actual arena or your boss's office, our brain is predictive and calculates whether we're prepared to meet the moment.” Our brains are wired to assess challenges and predict outcomes Preparation is key to calming the brain's predictive analysis The "arena" can be any situation where we face pressure or judgment Confidence and readiness are about training the mind to focus on what you can control Understanding this process helps reduce anxiety and lets you show up fully present “Confidence comes from giving your brain evidence that you are prepared.” Confidence isn't inherent—it's built through preparation and action Small wins or practice create "proof" your brain can rely on Preparation rewires doubt into belief, making confidence feel natural The more evidence you give yourself, the less external validation you'll need Confidence grows when you approach situations proactively instead of reactively About Steve Magness Steve Magness is a world-renowned expert on performance, author of the new book Win the Inside Game.

I am delighted to welcome Steve Magness back to the show to discuss moving from survival mode to truly thriving. Modern life, with its relentless pressures and social media's constant comparison trap, leaves many feeling isolated, inadequate, and unfulfilled. So what to do about it? Steve shares his thoughts on the ‘inner game' - the art of intrinsic motivation and long-term fulfilment. Steve opens up about his own experience living in survival mode while being a whistleblower against Nike's Oregon project. We also tackle the shifting nature of the American Dream, from internal fulfilment to external validation, and the vital importance of 'non-attachment'. Highlights: The rise of burnout, mental health struggles, and loneliness in modern society The impact of social media on attention spans and mental health as well as feelings of inadequacy and isolation The ‘inner game'—learning to play for intrinsic motivation, not just external rewards How values and ethics guide decision-making in high-pressure environments The American Dream: from internal fulfilment to chasing external validation Sport as a metaphor for life and why self-transcendence matters more than trophies Non-attachment, the paradox of self and no-self, and the balance between flexibility and security Steve Magness episode 1 - Do Hard Things: https://pod.fo/e/1832d0 Book: https://www.stevemagness.com/books/

Performance coach and expert Steve Magness joins Ryan for a deep dive into the flaws of the American sports system and what we can learn from Norway's successful youth sports culture.

Why is white the most popular car color? While people like whatever color they like, car color can impact things like resale value and whether or not a car gets stolen. Listen as we begin this episode by delving into the world of car colors. https://www.edmunds.com/car-buying/car-color-facts-and-fictions.html The roots of fast food are here in the U.S. So why is fast food more popular here than anywhere else in the world? What is the appeal? What are the origins of American fast food? Why do we love it so much? While fast food has its critics, it has become part of American culture. How that happened and why we keep going back for more burgers, fries and nuggets is a fascinating story. Here to tell it is Adam Chandler. He is a journalist whose work has appeared in The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, The Washington Post and WIRED. HE is the author of the book Drive-Thru Dreams: A Journey Through the Heart of America's Fast-Food Kingdom (https://amzn.to/3QaTCFQ). When you think of a successful person you likely think of someone who is laser-focused and driven to be the best at that one thing he or she is so good at. However, it appears that developing that kind of single-minded focus is not the best strategy for success. That's according Steve Magness who is a leading expert on personal performance. His research has found that successful people have a different and somewhat counterintuitive approach to life that contributes to their success. And he is here to share that with you. Steve's work has appeared in The Atlantic, Runner's World, and Sports Illustrated and he has been featured in The New Yorker, Wall Street Journal and other media outlets. He is the author of a book is called Win the Inside Game: How to Move from Surviving to Thriving, and Free Yourself Up to Perform (https://amzn.to/413zc7U).

Episode #620 with Steve Magness, author of Win The Inside Game Notes: Clearly define your purpose and what you want to do. For Steve, it's: "Explore interesting ideas that will help people." "Those things will help me too. I'm curious about them." Defining that one sentence frees you up to say no to those things outside of your purpose and to focus on actions within that align with your purpose. Steve's Framework for Sustainable Excellence: Be - Clarity on who you are Do - Clairty in your pursuits Belong - Clarity on where and how you fit in Steve stood up as a whistleblower after earning his dream job at Nike, showing courage and sticking to his values and ethics. Why don't we speak up? We have a built in preservation system. We justify, rationalize, and avoid it because it minimizes the negative feeling in the short term. Don't play prevent defense. Give yourself the permission and freedom to fail. Diversify sense of self. Don't intertwine a sense of self with success or fear of failure. Diversify your sense of self—don't intertwine your identity solely with success or the fear of failure. It's not an all-or-nothing game. Outcomes matter, but they aren't everything. Focus on process goals and let outcomes be a byproduct of good effort. Set your environment up to define what success means for you. Big achievements, like becoming a best-selling author, rarely feel as fulfilling as imagined. Success can be multi-dimensional and definitionally nuanced. The Power of Belonging When facing a challenge (like climbing a hill), it feels easier when you're with others versus alone. We need each other. We share the load. Surround yourself with compounders. "We are built to belong." It is a mistake to make success or failure a virtue. It's not "I'm a failure." It's, "I failed at that thing." It's temporary. It's not who you are. In moments of stress (e.g., choking in sports like Simone Biles), your brain defaults to survival mode and shuts down higher-level functions. Strategies to overcome it: Narrow your focus: Break tasks into smaller, actionable steps. Create a personal definition of success to shift focus from fear. Try doing something unexpected or crazy to reset your perspective. To have a meaningful life we need to feel Coherent - Life adds up. You have a cohesive story.  Significant - You matter and can make a difference. Directed - There's a purpose to your life and pursuits. Belonging - Part of something bigger than you. “This book is for those who stood up, found courage, and stuck to their values and ethics.”

In this episode, Steve Magness explores the psychology and science behind performance anxiety, choking, and the phenomenon known as ‘the yips’ in sports. Drawing on his experience working with top athletes from various sports, Steve delves into how stress responses can both help and hinder performance. Through a blend of personal stories, scientific research, and…

But as a former elite runner and coach, he's also got powerful personal stories to share about the pitfalls of hyper-focus and the importance of maintaining joy in your passions. Whether you're a parent navigating the challenges of raising kids today, an athlete striving for peak performance, or simply someone trying to stay true to yourself in a divided world - this conversation is packed with insights you won't want to miss.Steve Magness Website | Podcast | Instagram Check out Steve's new book Win the Inside Game- - - - - - - - - - -A big thanks to our sponsors:RELEVATE by NeuroReserve: Go to www.neuroreserve.com/travismacy and code TRAVISMACY for 15% off RELEVATE by NeuroReserve: Core Dietary Nutrients for Lifelong Brain HealthHagan Ski Mountaineering- - - - - - - - - - -Purchase A Mile at A Time: A Father and Son's Inspiring Alzheimer's Journey of Love, Adventure, and HopeSubscribe: Apple Podcast | SpotifyCheck us out: Instagram | Twitter | Website | YouTubeThe show is Produced and Edited by Palm Tree Pod Co

“All of humanity's problems stem from man's inability to sit quietly in a room alone” - Blaise Pascal. Rates of burnout and overwhelm are soaring and yet the advice tends to be push harder and exercise more. For people struggling with burnout this can lead to illness and a crash. On the contrary, we need to embrace stillness and simply being. Doing nothing is not easy for most people, yet it is what our nervous system's are crying out for, and it is the path to developing true resilience.

Steve Magness is a renowned performance expert and author of “Win the Inside Game,” who has dedicated his career to examining why we often calcify into patterns that no longer serve us.   This conversation explores how our modern obsession with achievement often leads to self-sabotage. Through the aperture of his journey from elite runner to pioneering coach, Steve offers a framework for sustainable excellence that emphasizes internal growth over external validation.   Steve reveals how social media hijacks our basic needs, why group identity threatens individual growth, and what it truly means to win the inside game.   This is a masterclass in moving beyond surviving to genuinely thriving.
