## Resource

What if everything we’ve been taught about mindset, performance, healing, and “working on ourselves” is thoroughly ass-backwards? In this expansive and provocative conversation, former elite athlete, coach, and author Garret Kramer joins me to dismantle our modern obsession with tools, techniques, trauma narratives, and mindset hacks — and to point toward something far more radical: self-discovery. Garret shares the moment he walked out on one of the world’s top sports psychologists, why trying to “control your attitude” is a logical fallacy, and how peak performance actually arises when the doer disappears. We explore why therapy often reinforces suffering, why feelings don’t need fixing, and how recognizing your infinite nature dissolves fear — on the field and in life. This episode is not about improving yourself. It’s about remembering who you are. If you’re tired of being told what to think, how to feel, or what tool you need next — this conversation will land.
