Finding Your Path and Optimizing Performance, Brian Hite

Brian Hite, Ph.D., is known as "The High-Stakes Performance Whisperer," blending over 30 years as a professional stuntman with advanced expertise in performance psychology. With a Ph.D. in Organizational Psychology and a Master’s in Sport Psychology, Brian helps leaders, athletes, first responders, and creatives see through the illusions of stress and pressure to unlock clarity and achieve extraordinary results. Brian’s career includes over 100 film and television credits, a Screen Actors Guild Award for 24, and a decade coaching soldiers as a Master Resilience Trainer for the U.S. Army. Today, he shares his expertise through programs like PressureX, PhaseX, and FACTs; his podcast Flow Under Fire; and keynotes that inspire audiences to rethink their potential. We talk about goals, creating our futures, recognizing opportunity, overcoming fear and anxiety, being a stuntman, avoiding injury, getting hit by cars, stretching and flexibility, seeing the good in the bad, finding motivation for self-employed people, eliminating pressure, visualization, focusing on the moment to maximize success, and more. "Nothing is either good or bad, but thinking makes it so." Links are on the shownotes page here. Support the show through Patreon.
