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 | You Don't Need Anyone's Permission to Be a High Performer","slug":"chase-challenge-you-don-t-need-anyone-s-permission-to-be-a-high-performer","published_at":"2026-07-09T10:30:00+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/chasing-excellence-927578/chase-challenge-you-don-t-need-anyone-s-permission-to-be-a-high-performer","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/chasing-excellence-927578","url":"https://pscrb.fm/rss/p/mgln.ai/e/441/claritaspod.com/measure/prfx.byspotify.com/e/rss.art19.com/episodes/69509d4a-a195-4637-a8d6-389c80d0799c.mp3?rss_browser=BAhJIg90cmFuc2NyaWJyBjoGRVQ%3D--952c5701c84ad333c69d5faa668f8177091704f0","audio_url":"https://pscrb.fm/rss/p/mgln.ai/e/441/claritaspod.com/measure/prfx.byspotify.com/e/rss.art19.com/episodes/69509d4a-a195-4637-a8d6-389c80d0799c.mp3?rss_browser=BAhJIg90cmFuc2NyaWJyBjoGRVQ%3D--952c5701c84ad333c69d5faa668f8177091704f0","summary":"Is the label \"high performer\" quietly holding you back from becoming one? In this episode, Patrick unpacks four lessons from the 21-day High Performance Challenge — and makes the case that high performance isn't a status reserved for athletes and CEOs. It's a set of actions anyone can adopt. From Tony Robbins' \"musts vs. shoulds\" to Kobe Bryant's marathon gym session, we connect high performance to the core belief that true excellence is something we pursue for others, not for ourselves. ❤️‍🔥 Free Newsletter & the Chase Club 👋 New to Chasing Excellence?
