Do your actions spring from virtue or fear? That's the provocative question we're exploring in our latest podcast episode. I'm your host, Sean, a performance coach and special ops combat veteran, who's ready to dive into the origins of our motivations. We ponder the precarious behaviors of high-performing individuals constantly on the brink of burnout, challenging the ingrained notion of fear-based motivation.

104: Recognizing One's Wyrd and Thor - God of Hammers??
In today's discussion, performance mindset coach, Sean Hansen, is recording on the US holiday of Memorial Day. How does a holiday commemorating fallen military service members connect to a Marvel Comics character? In the movie, Thor: Ragnarok , there is a scene where Thor is speaking with his deceased father, Odin, lamenting the fact that Thor is not powerful enough to defeat the Goddess of Death, in part because she destroyed Thor's magical war hammer. To this, Odin asks Thor whether he is the God of Thunder or the God of Hammers. The loss of Thor's hammer and the ensuing destruction of Thor's home world are emblematic of Thor's journey in shedding his reliance on external factors and a recognition that in order for a new path to be born the old path had to be destroyed.

In today's discussion, performance mindset coach, Sean Hansen, shakes things up by airing an opposing perspective on why people take on other people's suffering. We so frequently hold ourselves back from voicing our genuine truth or taking some action that would profoundly improve our life because we "don't want to hurt them." What if it's not about them?

095: The Beauty of Pain, Cold Showers and Wild Fires
In today's discussion, performance mindset coach, Sean Hansen, shares a deep realization that he had about how people seek to grit or muscle their way through discomfort. Recently, another wild fire broke out near Sean's home, which prompted a reactionary flare-up of frustration and exasperation. "Haven't we had enough destruction already this year!!" and "We're not even in fire season! There's still snow on the ground, how could we be having yet another wild fire so early in the year?!" This caused Sean to reflect on a conversation that he had with a client about Sean's cold shower routine. This routine has allowed Sean a daily practice of accepting discomfort, not as an exercise in 'slaying the dragon,' but as a means of practicing awareness and acceptance of what is.

In today's discussion, performance mindset coach, Sean Hansen, looks at the power of grief, specifically the grieving process, to help us actually address the challenges in our lives.

089: The Power of Fellowship
In today's discussion, performance mindset coach, Sean Hansen, shares some reflections from his recent PTSD anniversary related to an incident that occurred during one of his combat deployments to Iraq. In a conversation with a client, the client remarked on how fellowship is about feeling like you're "part of it." Despite all the work that Sean puts into allowing his clients to be free of a compulsion to have external validation, there is unquestionably a deep power in feeling like we belong, like we are understood. We often fail to connect with that deep power because of so many different fears, not least of which is the fear that things will get messy. But what if we allowed ourselves to give that gift to those around us? What impact might that have?

088: The Power of Thoughts Over Time
In today's discussion, performance mindset coach, Sean Hansen, reflects on a passage from Marcus Aurelius's Meditations . Such as thy thoughts and ordinary cogitations are, such will thy mind be in time. This reflection, from one of Rome's most powerful and effective emperors gives meaningful insight into the power of small inputs over time. Most people's relationships with their lives are made up of tiny thoughts, emotions, and habits repeated over decades. Frequently, this shows up in terribly self-critical and self-destructive language that depresses the person and what they are attempting to achieve in their life. Mastering one's inner language offers a way out of this long-running trap.

In today's discussion, performance mindset coach, Sean Hansen, challenges a conventional mindset that many of his military clients have maintained. Often, high performers confuse their rigidity for a sense of resilience. Their focus is often on the ways in which they have succeeded despite all the odds being against them.

085: Handling Bad Things with a Healthy "Immune Response"
In today's discussion, performance mindset coach, Sean Hansen, sets off on a potentially polarizing discussion about what we can learn from different response approaches to a virus. In the global pandemic we have seen different approaches being used to help people survive the virus. Before we go any further, let's be clear that Sean is not advocating for or against any medical course of action in regard to the pandemic or any other illness. It is simply that these different approaches can serve as useful metaphor for how we as individuals maintain healthy personal and professional lives from the sense of our relationships, sense of fulfillment, and emotional well-being, and not from a medical perspective.

073: VETS - Ending Veteran Suicide and Improving Personal Effectiveness with Psychedelics
In today's discussion, performance mindset coach, Sean Hansen, discusses the gripping topic of veteran suicide and psychedelic-assisted therapy with the co-founders of Veterans Exploring Treatment Solutions (VETS), a 501(c)(3) dedicated to ending the veteran suicide epidemic. Marcus and Amber Capone have a 20+ year history of never giving up on one another. After meeting at Southern Illinois University in 1997 and marrying three years later, the young couple moved to Coronado, CA where Marcus began training to become a U.S. Navy SEAL, graduating with BUD/S class 236 just one month after the attacks of 9/11. Like many military families, the Capones adapted to the high operational tempo of combat deployments and wartime training cycles, sometimes keeping Marcus away from home for up to 300 days per year. After 13 years and 7 tours, it was the transition away from the SEAL teams that would prove to be the greatest challenge yet. After years of escalating hardships, misdiagnoses, and failed avenues of healing, Amber was able to arrange for Marcus to leave the U.S. in 2017 to undergo a plant medicine experience; an intervention the couple attributes to saving his life as well as their family. Marcus immediately felt a deep conviction to pay this healing forward to his former teammates, which subsequently launched a successful grassroots effort that culminated in the official formation of VETS in 2019. As a 501(c)(3) organization, VETS provides resources, research, and advocacy for U.S. veterans seeking healing through psychedelic-assisted therapy alternatives. To date, VETS has raised funding for over 400 Special Operations veterans to receive this critical lifeline. Marcus and Amber are committed to fighting for veterans and their families just as hard as they’ve fought for their own, with an ultimate goal of making these therapies available within the borders of the United States for all who need them.

051: How Receiving Fuels Performance
In today's discussion, performance mindset coach, Sean Hansen, tackles a couple key points to help people access sustainable high performance by exploring the concept of receiving. Frequently, high performers pursue performance from a foundation of shame and guilt that has them connected to a deep sense of punishment. Although they are able to "get in gear," it comes with an inherent cost to motivation and engagement in the long-term. Being able to receive help and operate from a place of ease is challenging but yields tangible benefits in one's relationships and ability to perform over the long-term.

044: Leading Through Change, Part 2
In today's discussion, performance mindset coach, Sean Hansen, dives back into an inquiry from the leadership community on LinkedIn. That is, when it comes to organizational change, how do people react to and lead through it? An interesting historical example for leading through change comes from various Native American tribes that had a bifurcated leadership structure. There was a peace time leader who was responsible for the day-to-day governance of the tribe during routine times. Then there was a war time leader who took over leadership during times of crisis or war when more decisive action was needed. Today's discussion looks at possible ways that this is accessed within organizations and what leaders might do to bifurcate themselves in adapting to crisis and demonstrating a different leadership behavior.

In today's discussion, performance mindset coach, Sean Hansen, talks out of both sides of his mouth in regard to last week's episode. Whereas last week was about advancing oneself through outer and inner savagery, this week's discussion navigates the ways in which we create more space and awareness for showing ourselves compassion.

Tangible benefits that would improve the quality of, not just their enjoyment of this life, but their work output and the ways in which they can serve those in their life. Jump in as we explore some of the ways we can create awareness and pursue a minimum effective dose when it comes to fitness, health, recovery, and relationships that allow us to have greater sustained output.

In today's discussion, performance mindset coach, Sean Hansen, dives into the convoluted concepts of advancing oneself through outer and inner savagery.

033: Boundaries - Do I Deserve Them
In today's discussion, performance mindset coach, Sean Hansen, explores the ways in which our boundaries end up being transgressed and what we might do about it. Fundamentally, it's a process of gaining clarity on our values to better understand what it is we want to defend with our boundaries. From there, it's about the communication of those boundaries and the actions we take to ensure that other people respect the boundaries we set. Of course, none of that happens without having the internal sense of worth, either implicitly in ourselves or the value that's being defended, that motivates us to consistently uphold the boundary we've set.

030: I Feel Broken
In today's discussion, performance mindset coach, Sean Hansen, greets the new year with an exploration on feeling broken. Sounds like a depressing way to start the year, right? Some may see it that, but in the discussion we look at how what some people call hitting rock bottom is also hitting bed rock. Bed rock, that place of indescribable solidity and certainty from which new beginnings emerge. It's 2021, let's get after it. Resources mentioned: Alexandre Dumas, author of The Count of Monte Cristo "Life is a storm, my young friend. You will bask in the sunlight one moment, be shattered on the rocks the next.

029: Where Is the Light and Laughter
In today's discussion, performance mindset coach, Sean Hansen, looks at the upcoming year's end. It's at this time of year that all the leadership and productivity ninjas start breaking out their guides for year-end reviews and setting up your big audacious goals for what you want to accomplish in the following year. That is excellent. For those looking for a tremendous resource in the tactical side of productivity, I have often recommended The Productivity Show by Asian Efficiency. I have never met the people who run that podcast, but the advice on that show is on point and highly actionable. Plus, they experiment with a ton of apps, software, and gadgets to help determine what really creates a more productive work day. But, there is a piece that's missing from that discussion. This exploration is inspired by a conversation I had with my friend and fellow coach, Dan Luna in episode 20 . Notably, where are you connecting to the light and laughter inside yourself? Where are you allowing a seemingly never ending flow of tasks and commitments to drown out the light that once inspired you? When did genuine laughter that flowed out of you turn into choked barks of sarcasm? How is that you want to turn those things around in the next year?

028: Spirituality in Coaching with Omri Agam
What does spirituality offer high performing leaders? In today's discussion, performance mindset coach, Sean Hansen and his guest, fellow coach, executive and entrepreneur, Omri Agam, shares his insights from his years of exploring spirituality and the effects spirituality has had in his coaching clients. Omri's perspective is unique in that he began his career as an investment banker and private equity investor in New York and Boston and went on to co-found Endgame Partners, an investment firm and incubator that advised, invested in, created, built, and operated companies in a wide range of industries. It was during his time building Endgame and its portfolio companies that Omri underwent a journey of deep work, study, and transformation that would ultimately shift the focus of his life and career. After spending years immersed in learning the core principles and truths that underpin the world’s philosophies, religions, spiritual traditions, personal development frameworks, and business methodologies, and applying them to his life and business, he realized that he was uncovering a path that could empower people and businesses to realize their potential, thrive, and experience profound meaning and fulfillment – just as it had done for him. As he began sharing this path with others, he witnessed the powerful impact of this work on them and the world around them, and never looked back. Omri currently divides his time between coaching entrepreneurs, executives, and high achieving individuals, providing consulting services to businesses looking to reach new heights, and developing systems for personal development and business optimization that support the work he does with his clients. Ultimately, these systems will also serve as the foundation for the businesses that Omri plans to build to help facilitate people’s physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual wellbeing on a broader scale. Join us as we talk through how faith, trust, and certainty offer distinct yet complementary benefits and how one can distinguish between the three. Omri also walks us through how the signs of resistance in his life were the most important to his continued growth and performance.

Join performance mindset coach, Sean Hansen, as he discusses how viewing your relationships through the lens of value leads to a distorted view of yourself and creates breaches in alignment with your core values.

011 - The Standard You Live Is the Standard You Set
I had a client session recently that prompted a great deal of concern for me. Moreover, it sparked some real frustration and inspired today's episode in which we dive into how the standard that you (as a leader) live, is the standard that you set. Too many leaders and companies believe that they can have time-off policies, and that they can say it's important to take time off without actually living that behavior. Completely false. All it does is set a culture that grinds people to dust. As a leader it's your responsibility to understand that your behavior, your actions, is what sets the tone, and that your organization's culture is a direct result of that. If you notice key people leaving, then you should first take a look at your own behavior, and then figure out how that behavior is burning you out and causing your people to leave. If you don't, you likely won't be successful for long.

009 - Understanding Deep Human Connection
I often find when I first start working with a client that, despite all their career and monetary success, they are living with true poverty when it comes to deep, intense human connection. In this episode we explore what it takes to access that deep level of connection and why you will want to make the investment of your time and energy to get to that level. Also, for those of you who are fans of TEDx Talks, I'll be giving a talk on October 3, 2020 at the TEDx Breckenridge event.

008 - The Problems with Being a Problem Solver
In today's episode I dive into the topic of being a problem solver. So many of my clients put themselves in this identity. All of them have had great success in their lives by being effective problem solvers...until they reach a place where the overwhelm and burnout is too much. Join me as I unpack some of the hidden motivations that cause people to live in this mindset even when it costs them. Additionally, I discuss why letting people suffer is one of the hardest things we do, but is often the only option.

007 - When Crisis Turns to Status Quo
Today, I'm exploring what happens when crisis turns into status quo. I go through Colonel Boyd's famous OODA loop, a tool used by military leaders to help people adapt to changing conditions more quickly. I also explore the normalizing effect and how to move forward despite the inertia and weight of the new normal. How can you operate from a place that concurrently accepts that circumstances have changed while still engaging in improving the situation, all while holding back judgment, blame, guilt, and other ineffective and unhealthy thoughts and feelings.

006 - The Cave We Fear to Enter
The cave you fear to enter contains the treasure you seek. This line has often been attributed to professor Joseph Campbell. Today we take a look at what holds us back from attaining that which we want. Namely, why so many executives and leaders refuse to connect to and speak from their hearts. Before the scoffing begins, recognize that too many leaders are limiting their ability to inspire and genuinely connect with their teams because of a misguided fear that speaking from one's heart is not for the workplace. What these leaders fail to recognize is that team members who feel connected give more and put forth more effort to achieve team goals. A sad irony is that many leaders who refuse to engage their hearts at work slowly lose their ability to connect with the people in their personal life.

003 - How Compartmentalization Is Hurting You
Today we're looking at the negative impacts of compartmentalization. So many high performing leaders believe that they can compartmentalize their lives so that nothing unwanted bleeds through to their work. Conversely, that nothing from the office shows up at home. This simply isn't true, and we're going to talk through the negative impacts of believing that we can compartmentalize along with some techniques to ensure that we're actually aligned and functioning at a higher level.
