Breaking the High Functioning Trap

from The Playbook · host David Meltzer, Entrepreneur.com

In today’s episode, I sit down with executive coach, speaker, Ironman athlete, and Iron Mind Advisors founder Kendrick Stoddart to talk about resilience, mental health, and finding purpose after adversity. Kendrick shares how leaving a successful cybersecurity career led him to a calling centered on helping others, and why removing the "Superman cape" became the key to lasting growth. Together, we discuss the dangers of high functioning leadership, the importance of boundaries, asking for help before a crisis, listening to those who care enough to tell the truth, and building daily habits that support both personal wellbeing and sustained high performance.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
