What do you do when you feel a “limiter” to peak performance? You’ve trained and put in the time, but the mind and body don’t respond?
Tom, Preston, Blair Perkes and Matthew Lefthand talk about the difference between fitness and energy and the implications of life stressors on being able to access the mental and physical capabilities of peak performance. They share their experience’s adopting mindset tools and behavior strategies for being focused when it counts.

Tom joins Saxton on the Pod to talk entrepreneurship and paying the toll of succes. He preaches happy chemicals and the importance of getting a daily D.O.S.E. for mind and physical health but also as the magic elixir for inspiration and problem solving in business and relationships. Tom closes with some candid thoughts on positive self-talk and protecting the mind as our greatest asset that we should demand an ROI on.
