I recently had an awesome conversation with Hersh Rephun on his YES, BRAND Podcast, and I wanted to share a little about it with you.

April is Stress Awareness Month, and after taking a much-needed vacation in Japan, I’ve been reminded of something essential…

There’s work, relationships, personal growth. All while trying to be the best version of yourself. And some days, it feels like a lot to carry on your own.

A story I’ve kept to myself—out of both shame and embarrassment—is that when my role with USA Cycling was coming to an end, and the program I had built was falling apart, I was under so much stress that I truly understood why people consider suicide. I didn’t want to die; I just wanted the emotional pain to stop.

If you are following me and reading this, you are likely interested in leadership and high performance.

But what makes a high performer? What are the qualities I observe in the elite athletes, sports coaches, and most successful founders I have worked with?

I had the opportunity to sit down with Michael Shen for an in-depth conversation about something that impacts all of us: mindset.

Whether you're making a career shift, stepping into leadership, or trying to push past self-doubt, the way you think can either hold you back or propel you forward.

Early in my career, I thought leadership was about having all the answers. Then, I worked alongside women who showed me something different. Leadership is connection.

For too long, leadership was shaped by a narrow mold. One that often favored traditionally masculine traits like assertiveness and decisiveness while undervaluing the emotional intelligence and collaboration that many women naturally bring to the table.

Join Jake Hurwitz on The Optimist for a profound conversation with Lee Povey about men's groups, emotional intelligence, and modern masculinity. From his early work in therapy to founding transformative men's communities, Lee shares insights on helping men develop emotional awareness and authentic connections.

As high achievers, we often wear our busyness like a badge of honor. Success, productivity, and meeting responsibilities take center stage while our well-being quietly falls to the bottom of the list. Sound familiar?

In this insightful video with the Lexic Minds Podcast, I share my perspective on supporting founders and leaders. In our discussion, we go through the challenges of Dyslexia and the pressures of entrepreneurship.

I struggled to have many male friends when I was younger, even though I was very sporty and did team sports. I just didn't know how to have those close relationships, as it had never been modeled to me by my dad, who didn't have friends, just guys he occasionally rode a bike with. I never had uncles or those older men to look up to and learn from.

The impact of our need to be liked often comes up in how it influences our decisions, relationships, and effectiveness.

I’ve noticed for me, it can play out as envy too. Feeling sad/envious when I see others getting acknowledged when I think my efforts were unseen.

The “cookie jar method” for understanding the value of positive feedback.

I’m writing this post straight after an executive group coaching call, and WOW, did we go deep today? I’m in awe of how courageous the team was.

It also really brought up my own stuff and some deep sadness.
