going on young and profiters today's yap classic is all about redefining success from the inside out if you've ever found yourself grinding non-stop hitting milestone after milestone yet still feeling like it's just never enough this conversation is going to hit home i sat down with best-selling author researcher and human performance coach brad stuhlberg to unpack groundedness which is his research-backed antidote to burnout anxiety and the non-stop chase for more

Brad went from coaching elite performers and writing books on peak performance to privately battling severe OCD, intrusive thoughts, and a total mental collapse.

That breaking point led him to redefine success around six principles of groundedness.

In this episode, Brad shows us how to loosen our grip on heroic individualism, relate to our emotions more skillfully, build deep community, and still pursue big goals without losing ourselves.

It's an essential listen for all of us high achievers and young and profiters, especially in the new year.

So without further ado, let's get into this interview with Brad Stuhlberg.

I'd love to get more color about your background.

So would you kindly walk us through your career path and how you first got into performance coaching and writing and some of your proudest accomplishments?

That's awesome.

Yeah.

And you are the best-selling author of multiple books, which is awesome.

And I love how you talked about using your writing skills even when you were in healthcare and how those skills still translated later on when you wanted to become a writer.

Because a lot of people think that when they get into certain fields...

that they're kind of locked in.

But the fact is, and especially writing, writing cuts across so many different things.

And I always say this, especially recently, as I have a marketing agency, and the hardest thing to hire for is people who know how to write well.

And I feel like there's this big gap in our society of people who actually know how to write compelling stories.

And this storytelling capability, I feel like is so needed right now, especially when everyone's so focused on tech skills.

Totally.

I love this story.
