This is the first episode of Heads Up With Phil Galfond – a podcast I sat on for a year because I was afraid to put it out. It's a coaching call with Fabian "Suhepx," a high-stakes PLO pro who's been at this for over a decade, and we get into the stuff that actually holds smart, capable people back: the fear of failure, the "too smart to try" trap, and what it's like to set a goal and then watch your brain chase the next shiny thing instead. We both have ADHD, so a lot of this is personal. If either of those sounds like you, I think you'll get something out of it.
