In this episode I sit down with former Navy SEAL Jonathan Wilson to explore what truly separates those who succeed under extreme pressure from those who don't, and why mental health may be the next frontier of high performance.
Together, we discuss the mindset required to survive one of the toughest military selection processes in the world, the hidden cost of elite performance, and Jonathan's deeply personal journey from combat, loss and depression to building technology that can detect declining mental wellbeing before it reaches crisis point.
What we cover:
The mindset that separates those who succeed under extreme pressure
Why elite performance often comes with a hidden personal cost
How wearable technology could predict declining mental health before crisis
Practical habits to improve your mental wellbeing, including sleep, breathwork and gratitude
Jonathan's journey through purpose, faith and finding meaning after military service
Whether you're leading a business, performing at a high level, or simply trying to take better care of your mental wellbeing, this conversation offers a powerful reminder that sustainable performance starts long before burnout becomes visible.
