This episode is the third installment of the From the Other Side of the Mic series, where I cross-share conversations from podcasts I’ve had the opportunity to be a guest on.

In this episode, I’m featured on The WellSport Podcast, hosted by mental performance coach Sean Fee. Our conversation explores my background in sport psychology, my time working in professional baseball, and how my work today is centered on helping coaches win more and live better without sacrificing themselves in the process.

Throughout the conversation, we dig into topics like active listening and asking better questions, why coaches are often best positioned to serve the person they once were, how defining a personal scoreboard creates clarity, and why high performance is just as much about subtraction as it is about addition. We also discuss keystone habits, sculpting versus grinding, and the leadership systems that support both performance and well-being over the long term.

If you’re not already subscribed to the podcast, be sure to do so to stay current with upcoming short-form and long-form episodes in 2026. New guest conversations are arriving soon!
