The Person Behind The Performance

Recorded jet lagged, the morning after ten unstructured days spent together in Indianapolis, this episode goes back into performance versus person, but with far more depth than the first time we touched on it.

I told Ray how much deeper my appreciation of who I am had become just from spending real, unhurried time together, and we talked properly about thought life as its own genuine layer of wellbeing, right alongside diet, sleep, and exercise, not separate from them.

In this episode:

  • Three levels we operate on, physical, psychological, and metaphysical
  • How what you think about before sleep actually affects the quality of that sleep
  • Fight, flight, and freeze, and how freeze often hides behind constant busyness
  • Wrestling, out loud, with the label the people's coach versus performance coach
  • Why so many genuinely successful people say they feel empty once they get there
