Yeah, I try to see what they do. So I've been training for the last 15, 16 years. elite mental and physical athletes, right? Decision makers, investors, athletes, fighters.

Well, at my school with Marcelo, we had a huge group of fighters, jiu-jitsu fighters. And so I've been in dialogue with people who are like the pinnacles of different fields my whole life. And One thing is that I love working with people who want to take themselves on. So it begins with them being all in on the process. I'm not great at motivating people to take their shit on.

I love to begin once we're taking our shit on. And then it's individualized. I get to know someone's patterns. It's 99% listening, observing. A lot of what I try to do is understand the entanglement of their brilliance and their eccentricity or their genius and their dysfunction. I think so quickly people try to come in.

If you come in with some kind of formula for how things will be done, you're going to be slicing away the brilliance of individuals, right? Like all of our most brilliant creations are interwoven with the dysfunctional parts of our mind. Everyone wants to normalize people.

like most in the realm of like trainers or coaches of different fields i think it's mostly bullshit because mostly armchair professors who don't understand what it actually means to be playing on that razor's edge of peak performance where you have to make a decision which is taking a risk that's right on the edge of something catastrophic but that's the thread the needle solution and so when i start working with someone i try to get to know them very very deeply their patterns their

Their patterns of success, their patterns of failure, where their genius and their dysfunction are entangled. I often go into what I call a cave process, which is trying to understand what their self-expression is. Like going into the cave with them metaphorically, try to understand what their self-expression would be liberated from reactivity and inertia.

So not reacting away from what they did before and not being subject to the inertia of what they did before. Mm-hmm. But just blue-skying what the ideal solution would be, what the most pure self-expression for them would be.
