What Got You There with Sean DeLaney: Beneath the Surface
A podcast for high performers, deep thinkers, and those who refuse to live on autopilot.
Every week, Sean DeLaney explores the ideas that don’t just make you better at what you do — but more connected to who you are.
Through solo episodes and long-form conversations with world-class performers, thinkers, and creators, we go beneath the surface of success to ask the questions most people avoid:
What if the version of you the world rewards… isn’t the version that makes you feel alive?
Can ambition and inner peace coexist?
How do you perform at your best — without abandoning yourself in the process?
This show is a space to get honest. To let go of old scripts. To reconnect with what actually matters. And to explore how we live, create, lead, and perform — from the inside out.
Not just for more success. But for deeper presence. Greater freedom. And a life that breathes.
