Brad Stulberg is a bestselling author, executive coach, and one of my favorite thinkers on sustainable high performance.
This conversation explores the dualities in personal development, discipline and self-compassion, striving and surrender, intensity and joy. We discuss the "humble badass" archetype, building resilient identities, why curiosity is the skeleton key, and excellence as an antidote to alienation.
Along the way, Brad gets vulnerable about the childhood wounds that still drive his ambition—and I share my own.
Amidst the chaos of self-help, Brad remains a principled voice of reason. Enjoy!
