They're the ones who never stop learning. If you've chosen growth over coasting, and curiosity over the comfort of being the smartest person in the room, you're a learn-it-all. And this podcast is for you. Host Damon Lembi is a 3x bestselling author, CEO of Learnit, and someone who has spent 30 years watching what separates leaders who keep growing from those who quietly become the ceiling that limits everyone around them. Each episode features real conversations with top executives, founders, NYT bestselling authors, and world-class athletes — people who've faced adversity, made costly mistakes, and done the hard, unglamorous work of growing. They share what they learned — and unlearned — to lead at the next level. Great leaders aren't born or made. They're always in the making. Let's not do that work alone. Stay curious. Keep learning.

In this episode of The Learn-It-All™ Podcast, Damon sits down with former professional BMX athlete, X Games competitor, brain tumor survivor, and high-performance coach Josh Perry for a raw conversation about fear-based leadership, imposter syndrome, survival mode, and the invisible costs that often come with high achievement. Josh breaks down how many leaders, entrepreneurs, athletes, and executives operate through three hidden stress lenses: inadequacy, insecurity, and scarcity. He explains how force can create results, but it can also lead to resistance, burnout, health issues, toxic relationships, and a deeper feeling of being stuck. Through his own story and coaching work, Josh challenges the idea that “working harder” is always the answer and invites high performers to ask what stories, fears, and survival patterns are really driving them. Damon and Josh also explore how fear-based leaders fall into control, micromanagement, overperformance, and constant problem-solving when their teams, clients, or partners often need to feel seen, heard, and supported. This episode is for founders, executives, managers, coaches, athletes, and high performers who want to overcome imposter syndrome, lead with more self-awareness, shift out of survival mode, and create success without losing themselves in the process. 📘 Get a FREE copy of The Learn-It-All Leader Book: https://dl.bookfunnel.com/3ingcx2pp5 In This Episode, You’ll Learn: Why “force gets results,” but also creates resistance, pressure, and the kind of accumulated stress that eventually makes people ask, “Maybe I should do something different.” Josh’s powerful question for new leaders who feel like they are failing: What story do you ha…","meta_description":"What if the thing driving your success is also the thing quietly keeping you stuck?
