Episode Synopsis

Episode SummaryWhen pressure spikes, even elite leaders can keep teams steady while quietly losing their center. This episode drills into the hardest skill in leadership: leading self under pressure. Coach Mo and co-host Algie Mo break down how the punk-ass inner critic hijacks decisions, why reactive energy erodes trust, and how to install a reliable “mental pause” you can access in real time. Using the S.W.A.G. Framework—Self-Awareness, Why-Power, Aligned Action, and Grit—you will learn to recognize catabolic states, reset your physiology with breath, and reenter the moment with clarity. Expect practical rituals like gratitude reps, micro-recovery, and pause-visualize-breathe sequences you can use at your desk or on the floor. Grab the S.W.A.G.
