Episode 61: Introducing EPOQ

After 18 years in corporate change management and competing professionally while working full time, I've spent a lot of time thinking about what it actually takes to perform, not just in sport, but in life. In this episode I'm sharing something I've been quietly building: EPOQ, a performance operating system for senior corporate professionals who are done blaming their discipline and ready to look at their conditions instead. We talk about why the usual fitness and wellness approaches fail executives, what corporate wellness programs are actually getting wrong, and why the goal was never the transformation, it's designing the conditions where transformation becomes inevitable. If any of this resonates, the best place to start is the free five-minute diagnostic in the link below.
