Summary
In today’s episode, I sit down with Alvaro Nuñez to discuss what separates people who thrive under pressure from those who break under it. We explore the difference between discipline and devotion, why non negotiable behaviors create consistency in uncertain circumstances, and how preparation shapes performance. I share my perspective on burnout, explaining why interference, not effort, drains our energy, along with practical ways to reconnect with intuition, faith, and purpose. We also talk about decision making when evidence is incomplete, the power of asking for help, and the lessons that setbacks, mistakes, and challenges can teach when viewed through a different lens.
