Stop Fixing Problems: A CEO's Solution-Focused Approach - Glen Lubbert | Ep 68

Feeling stuck trying to "fix" your problems? Glen Lubbert, CEO of Stamina Lab, reveals a radical, solution-focused approach to improving energy, focus, and resilience by building on what's *already* working, instead of dwelling on what's broken. As a former Division I athlete and tech entrepreneur who faced burnout, Glen Lubbert now helps high-achievers thrive. He explains the core philosophy: "You're not broken." Discover why traditional problem-solving and root-cause analysis can keep you stuck, and how shifting to a solution-focused mindset empowers lasting behavior change—moving you from defense to offense in your life. In this episode, you’ll discover: · The key insight from athletics applied to well-being: Focus on where you want to go. · Why the "You're Not Broken" philosophy is crucial for high-achievers. · Solution-Focused Coaching vs. Traditional Coaching (and why it's more effective). · The real reason most New Year's resolutions fail (and how to fix it by digging deeper). · The principle behind the "Eight Magic Words" for transforming negative self-talk. · How Stamina Lab helps people become their own best coach. · Using personal health data constructively without causing overwhelm. · The common mistake people make managing stress: focusing on the problem, not the desired state ("What do you want instead?"). · Glen's definition of innovation: Transformative thinking that starts within you. This episode is essential for engineers, leaders, and anyone ready to ditch the guilt and shame of self-improvement and embrace a more empowering path to well-being.
