Our guest Derrick McManus, a former sniper and elite member of Australia's STAR Group, is coming back for a second episode! (We interviewed Derrick in Ep7 about how he got ambushed and got shot 14 times as a special elite police officer!)
Today Derrick is sharing how this incredible story of survival and resilience shaped his unique philosophy on "human durability". He travels the world supporting both individuals and companies, about maintaining optimal performance by anticipating obstacles and preparing for challenges.
Our conversation focuses on how these principles apply to Artists, Actors, Dancers, Filmmakers, working in an industry where so much is "up in the air". Discover how Derrick's experience in high-risk environments can translate to the unpredictable world of the arts.
How do we "bounce back" from setbacks?
How can we embrace failure as a tool for growth?
How can we have conversations about the worst case scenarios?
How do we strive long term in a high-pressure industry?
In this episode Derrick offers insights into the framework of "human durability". Let's explore the delicate balance between peak performance and sustainability.
