In today’s episode, we have the pleasure to interview Jason Su, author of The Joy of Poker: Win More With Less Stress And No Regrets.
Jason is a longtime cash game pro, performance coach, and the founder of Poker With Presence. Over the last two decades, he’s coached high-level poker players, athletes, and entrepreneurs—helping them master the mental game, stay grounded under pressure, and rediscover the joy in peak performance.

You’ll learn how to cultivate emotional intelligence in high-stakes environments, the role of presence and acceptance in long-term success, and why true performance isn’t about grinding harder—it’s about being fully here.
