Editorial Note from Khaïry:
When I recorded this episode with Adolfo Gomez Sanchez, I was expecting another conversation about high performance. What I got instead was a masterclass in recalibration.
We often chase performance as a way to prove ourselves. To win, to achieve, to stay relevant. But what Adolfo reminds us is that performance isn’t something we do to be validated. It’s something we refine to feel fulfilled.
This conversation will reframe how you think about growth, how you define failure, and how you lead yourself through complexity.
About the Episode
In this episode, I sat down with my friend Adolfo Gomez Sanchez, author of The Optimal Performance Formula and founder of Gold Results, to explore what it really takes to reach your potential and stay there.
We unpack the myths of high performance, the lies we mistake for facts, and the patterns that keep even the most ambitious founders playing small.
Adolfo shares the moment that shifted his career, why he believes failure is just “reps,” and how he helps elite performers, athletes and CEOs alike return to what really matters.
Whether you’re navigating scale, reinvention, or burnout, this episode will help you reorient around your genius and reconnect with sustainable excellence.
Key Takeaways
Performance is expression, not validation.
True performance is about becoming, not comparing. It’s the key to fulfillment.
Reps over results.
Failure isn’t a verdict, it’s proof you’re training. And every great performer embraces it.
The 3-part framework that sticks.
- Mindset (raw material).
- Maps (the design).
- Mojo (execution).
If transformation isn’t sticking, you’re likely missing one of these.
Leverage lives in the basics.
The higher you scale, the more the fundamentals matter. Growth requires the basics.
Beware the dopamine trap.
Many chase external wins (titles, sales, trophies), but true fulfillment lives in the long-term serotonin cycle of becoming.
