#230 The Psychologist Wall Street Calls When They Start Losing | Dr. Dave Popple

Dr. Dave Popple is the psychologist that hedge funds and multi-manager funds call when their top traders start losing. Profiled in the Wall Street Journal, Dave has assessed over 1,000 executives, coached 250 more, and built the Psybil psychometric now used by over a quarter million people. In this episode, we go deep on the hidden architecture of elite performance. Dave shares the concept of self-states (the internal committee running your decisions), how he trains intuition in traders making multi-million dollar bets, why the thing that makes top performers great is often what destroys them, and the lie detection system he built after catching candidates cheating on assessments. We also cover his upcoming book Unified (HarperCollins 2027), his new AI coaching platform Telleus, 14 marathons, working with his wife, and the simple one-thing-per-day practice that pulls you out of any slump.

#228 The Fulfillment Gap with Naeem Mahmood

Most entrepreneurs think they have a business problem. Naeem believes they have a fulfillment problem. In this conversation Naeem, former Tony Robbins speaker and founder of Peak Humans unpacks why so many successful founders hit every goal they set and still feel empty. He calls it The Fulfillment Gap: the distance between what you’ve built on the outside and how you actually feel on the inside. Naeem breaks down: The two skills every entrepreneur needs (most only learn one) Why energy management, not time management, is the real leverage move How to operate from calm instead of urgency and still get more done The “billion-dollar body” you’ve never been taught to use Why coding your internal operating system matters more than coding any AI agent Simple daily rituals to rewire your nervous system in under 5 minutes If you’ve built the business, hit the numbers, and still feel something is missing, this conversation is for you.

#222 Biological and Behavioral Mastery for High Performers with Jackson Hightower

Jackson works at the intersection of biological optimization, behavioral mastery, and human performance. His core belief is simple but powerful: most high-performing men are operating at a fraction of their potential, not because they lack ambition, but because they lack the right data, the right diagnostics, and the right direction. He’s built his work around helping men gain actual control of their biology, through deeper testing, hormone optimization, behavioral coaching, and a more honest look at what’s really driving low energy, poor performance, weak presence, and disconnection in relationships.
