Today’s episode with Dr. Raymond Prior (@bts_mindset on Twitter) was so packed that I needed to split it into multiple episodes. Here goes round 1! Raymond has a PhD in Sport and Exercise Psychology and as a performance consultant has worked with a wild range of performers, including pro, college, and olympic athletes, pop stars, actors, and high performers in the financial space. 

In this first edition, Raymond illuminates why thinking our way out of unpleasant experiences works against our biology and evolution. We also take a look at why getting your psychology in order, investing in mental training, is your highest point of leverage as a performer. What’s going to become really clear as you listen is Raymond’s commitment to being up to date and deeply knowledgeable about the research and is passionate about helping clients get beneath the surface instead of stuck with traditional pop-psych techniques.
