from The Built For Pressure Podcast · host Will Foden

In this episode, I sit down with Tom Ocleary, owner of OCS Performance and current athlete inside my program who's chasing a 2:45 marathon time. Tom's been part of the Built For Pressure program for over a year, and we've seen multiple personal bests in his athleticism and professional performance, all driven by delving deep into how to leverage his biggest asset: Himself. Most high performers struggle with one thing, and that's getting in the way of themselves. We break down the strategies that helped Tom stop being his worst enemy, build systems that allowed him to sustain high performance, and discover what it really means to find his edge.Whether you’re a CEO, business leader, or athlete chasing ambitious goals, this conversation will show you what it takes to raise your standards, lead with intent, and keep pushing even when pressure is at its highest.Topics we cover:The mindset shift behind chasing a 2:45 marathon.How performance systems translate from athletics into businessThe traps ambitious leaders fall into (and how to avoid them)Why pressure is a privilege and how to use it as fuelWhy walking the walk is so important for development and what he learnt training in Kenya.Building sustainable habits when life and business are at full tiltHow to use metrics to drive performance and so much more. This isn’t about motivation. It’s about action, standards, and execution.If you’re ready to stop leaving potential on the table and want to perform at your best across mind, body, and business, this episode is for you.#BuiltForPressure #HighPerformance #Leadership #MarathonTraining #Entrepreneurship
