They're stuck because they know what to do and can't quite do it consistently. The slow drift keeps winning. Chasing Excellence is for people who are already trying — working out, eating well, staying positive — but find themselves in the one-good-week, one-bad-week cycle. Ben Bergeron, Patrick Cummings, and a crew of authors, thinkers, and doers explore the five factors of health — how we eat, move, think, connect, and rest — and what it actually takes to crowd out the drift and build the life you keep almost living. New episodes every Monday and Thursday. Beyond the podcast: the Chase Club brings together a crew for daily lessons, monthly challenges, and the real work of crowding out the drift. The ChaseTracker app helps you track the Five Factors daily.","last_synced_at":"2026-07-13T22:17:08.907423+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/chasing-excellence-927578"},"episode":{"title":"Chase Challenge | High Performance Isn't a Talent.

In this episode, Patrick introduces the 21-Day High Performance Challenge and walks through the five interdependent characteristics that, together, make up a practice for doing the right things at the highest level you're capable of. We connect this system to the Five Factors of health you already know — because drift, the quiet enemy of excellence, doesn't just happen to your body. It happens to your work, too. And these five characteristics are how you fight back. Whether you join inside the Chase Club , the ChaseTracker app , or with nothing but a notebook and three questions at the end of each day, this challenge is an invitation to close the gap between who you are and who you want to be at work. ❤️‍🔥 Free Newsletter & the Chase Club 👋 New to Chasing Excellence?
