What does it take to thrive in today’s high-pressure, constantly shifting world?
We’re back with a special Finding Mastery Ask Me Anything with Dr. Michael Gervais! In this AMA, we’re thrilled to welcome our good friend—author, documentarian, podcaster, football analyst, and all around renaissance man, Yogi Roth, for a powerful conversation on navigating life’s most challenging moments. Drawing from our extensive experience with elite performers, educators, and healthcare professionals, we dig deep into questions that resonate with all of us trying to thrive in today’s complex world.
Through thoughtful questions from our community, we explore the delicate balance between performance and self-worth, recovery strategies for busy professionals, and how to maintain purpose when facing uncertainty.
We dug into some fascinating topics, including:
- The “tail wagging the dog” trap – Never let your performance dictate your self-worth
- Recovery isn’t optional – Elite performers prioritize recovery equally with training
- Mastering the spaces between moments – Find presence in small pauses throughout your day
- Why every world-class performer shares fundamental optimism – And how you can develop it
- When to double down on purpose – Using your values as an anchor during times of uncertainty
- The power of micro choices – Making thousands of small right decisions each day creates transformation
Join us for this illuminating conversation that reminds us how our daily choices shape not just our performance, but who we become. I hope these insights can offer practical wisdom that applies whether you’re leading a team, supporting others, or simply trying to find your footing in challenging circumstances.
“Optimism is a skill and I haven’t met a world’s best that is not fundamentally optimistic. When you’re around optimistic people, by default you become a little bit more optimistic.”
