142: Anti-High Performance

In this episode, Smith and Mayhew take aim at the modern obsession with “high performance” and ask a simple question: are you actually improving, or are you just consuming more stuff? From stoic philosophy to the influence of Peter Crone, they unpack why chasing goals without detaching your worth from the outcome can leave you anxious, frustrated and stuck. Sometimes growth isn’t about adding more - it’s about stripping things back.
