In this episode of The Blunt Dollar, I sit down with Sébastien Page, Chief Investment Officer at T. Rowe Price, where he oversees over $500 billion in assets and leads a global team of investment professionals.

But today’s conversation isn’t about markets. It’s about leadership, psychology, and what makes people thrive under pressure.

We dive into Sébastien's latest book, The Psychology of Leadership, and unpack the habits, mindsets, and mental models that separate high performers from the rest.

We cover:
🧠 Why measurable goals can backfire
🎯 How to develop mastery without falling into ego traps
🏋️‍♂️ What investing and sports psychology have in common
🫀 The neuroscience of stress and how elite performers use it
🤝 Why feedback feels awful (and how to fix it)
🏔️ What climbing Everest has to do with blind ambition
🔄 How to quit or pivot without guilt
💬 And what makes someone a truly contrarian thinker

Whether you're managing portfolios, leading teams, or trying to level up your own thinking, this episode is packed with real, practical tools from someone who leads at the highest level and still finds time to reflect deeply.
