Tanya Chavez – Stop Waiting to Feel Ready I Mindset #110

Tanya Chavez – Stop Waiting to Feel Ready I Mindset #110

Tanya Chavez isn’t talking theory—she’s lived it. As a USAF Jumpmaster, Tanya was responsible for training others to jump out of aircraft—where hesitation isn’t an option and pressure is constant. Some of the people she trained went on to become Pararescue Jumpers and aviators supporting Special Forces operations. Now, she brings that same high-stakes mindset into the business world—using wind tunnels and indoor skydiving to train leadership teams how to perform under pressure, communicate clearly, and trust each other when it matters most. This episode breaks down what pressure really does to people… and how to train yourself to handle it instead of fold under it. Because pressure doesn’t break you—it reveals how prepared you are. If you want to lead, perform, and stay steady when things get hard… this one’s for you. New Episode Every Wednesday!

John Mollura – Cut the Noise & Execute What Actually Matters | Mindset #107

Why do high performers still feel overwhelmed? In this episode of Mindset Lessons from the Field, John Mollura breaks down the real problem: it’s not a lack of motivation—it’s too many things feeling important. Drawing from his experience working alongside NASA engineers and Air Force Pararescue teams, John shares how to cut through the noise, build real confidence, and execute when it matters most. We dive into: * The “HIT” framework to eliminate overwhelm and take action * Why confidence is built by keeping promises to yourself * How overthinking, perfectionism, and procrastination are rooted in fear * The difference between pressure and burnout (and how to handle both) * Why small, consistent actions create unstoppable momentum This episode is for anyone who feels stuck, scattered, or pulled in too many directions—and is ready to focus, execute, and move forward. Listen now and start training your mind to perform under pressure.

Cory Zillig – The Warrior Spirit Isn’t What You Think I Mindset #106

What actually keeps you going… when your body is done, your mind is done, and quitting would be easier? In this episode, I sit down with former Navy SEAL Cory Zillig — who spent 20 years in the SEAL teams, including serving as an assault team leader on the mission that killed Osama bin Laden. But this conversation isn’t about war. It’s about what happens after the mission ends…When there’s no clear path.No structure.No one telling you what to do next. We break down: * Why devotion matters more than discipline * The difference between a mindset and a warrior spirit * How to keep going when life stops being linear * What failure, doubt, and identity loss really teach you * And why belief in yourself isn’t optional… it’s everything This is for anyone who feels stuck, lost, or unsure of their next move. Because the real battle?It’s not out there. It’s inside your head. And you either train for it…or it trains you. If you’re ready to stop waiting and start becoming — this one will hit.
