Andy Walshe: Has Human Potential Peaked?

In this mind-expanding episode of Empowering Leaders, Luke sits down with Dr. Andy Walshe, one of the world’s foremost experts on elite human performance.

In this conversation, Andy invites us to reimagine performance—not as a solitary pursuit, but as a collective journey toward becoming more human in an increasingly technological world.

With over two decades of experience working with Olympic athletes, cultural leaders, special forces, and pioneering innovators, Andy brings a rare depth of insight into what drives human excellence.

As Director of High Performance at Red Bull, Andy led groundbreaking initiatives like the Red Bull Stratos mission—coaching Felix Baumgartner to the edge of space and back in a record-breaking leap that captivated the world. Now, as the Chief Performance Officer and founding member of Liminal Collective, he continues to push the frontiers of what’s possible in human potential.

In this chat with Luke, Andy tells us how to unlock elite performance in any field, why empathy and curiosity are crucial tools for leaders and he drives home the importance of patience and self-compassion for our own personal growth.

Andy and Luke also discuss what artificial intelligence means for the future of human capability. This episode is a masterclass in mindset, preparation, and leading with purpose.
