I’ve spent years working with some of the best athletes on the planet.
🏀 NBA stars.
🏈 Super Bowl contenders.
🎓 NCAA standouts.
On the surface, they’ve made it…
Behind the scenes, they’re wrestling with the same things most of us are — pressure, identity, burnout, uncertainty about what comes after success.
This episode is one of the most honest conversations I’ve ever had about the psychology of high performance, and what most people get wrong when they chase excellence.
It’s not about grinding harder.
It’s not about cold plunges, 4:30am alarms, or training until bleeding feet.
It’s about alignment. Self-awareness.
And learning to ask: what’s actually right for me?
🎙 Inside this episode, we dig into:
- What really drives high performers — and why so many lose momentum after success
- Why NBA players are just like the rest of us (even if we don’t see it)
- The hidden cost of chasing someone else’s version of success
- How sleep, relationships, and reflection can unlock your next level
- Why “work-life balance” is a myth — and what to pursue instead
- What to do after you hit your big goal and feel... nothing
- Why success without values feels empty — and how to build a career that fits your life
Whether you’re leading a startup, coaching clients, building a business, or just trying to figure out what “better” looks like — this one will hit home.

If you’ve ever asked yourself:
- “What if I’m chasing the wrong thing?”
- “Why do I feel off even when I’m winning?”
- “Is it possible to perform at a high level without burning out?”
This conversation is for you.
I’ll show you what the world’s top performers struggle with…
And what I’ve learned from helping them perform, stay healthy, and find meaning — at the same time.
Talk soon,

P.S. We also talk about why elite performance requires honest reflection, the 3 “gateway issues” that open deeper conversations, and why asking hard questions might be your greatest competitive advantage.
