It’s about pressure, perfectionism, failure, freedom, and why the second act might just be the best one yet.We dive into what it really takes to walk away from a career that defined you, how he built BEON Performance to help others master the inner game, and the surprising parallels between a World Cup final and cooking meat for a pack of hungry kids.This isn’t just for sports fans.
