In this episode of Founders Future, with host Zach Young, we’re joined by Gregg Swanson, executive performance coach and founder of Warrior Mind Coach, who works with high-achieving men navigating burnout that doesn’t look like failure—but quiet exhaustion beneath outward success. Gregg shares his journey from a 20-year career in corporate sales and high-tech telecom into coaching, explaining how reflection, downsizing, and a deep interest in mindset led him to dedicate his life to helping others reclaim clarity, energy, and purpose.Gregg dives into his coaching philosophy, which centers on helping men rebuild from the inside out by addressing burnout, limiting beliefs, and neglected areas of life. He explains his highly personalized coaching approach, the importance of physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual alignment, and why meaningful transformation requires time, commitment, and skin in the game. The conversation also explores long-term performance, leadership under pressure, and why true success means staying whole—not just productive.
