Dr. Michael Gervais was a promising young surfer—until the pressure to perform shattered his focus. A single offhand comment flipped his mindset from fear to possibility, launching a lifelong fascination with the psychology of peak performance. Today, he's a world-renowned high-performance psychologist. In this episode, Michael shares how to conquer Fear of People’s Opinions (FOPO), train your mind for peak performance, and build a purpose-driven identity through mental techniques like breathing, imagery, and mindset training.

Dr. Michael Gervais is a world-renowned high performance psychologist and expert on the connection between mindset and peak performance.
