Why the Need to Win Is Costing You - With Jay Abbasi

Jay Abasi spent over a year preparing for his TEDx talk. He walked on stage, delivered it, and the crowd loved every second of it. Then came the part nobody plans for. In this episode, Jay takes us back to the night everything changed — and the hour he spent on his office floor the next day, not reframing, not positive-thinking his way out of it, just sitting with it. From there, we talk about why the need to win drains your power, what high performers get wrong about detachment, and the three things Jay reckons we all need to get better at tolerating (one of them might surprise you). We also go back to 2014 — the phone call that changed the entire trajectory of Jay's life — and what it actually takes to move toward something meaningful after loss, instead of away from it. This one's for anyone who's ever put everything into something and had it not go the way they expected.
