Want to learn more about Built For Pressure watch this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U8LN8QYrZ00 In this episode, I step back and take stock.Not from a place of slowing down or losing momentum, but from a place of sharpening the blade before heading into the next phase.I share a behind the scenes review of a week that captured everything Built For Pressure stands for. High performance inside the business. Personal physical milestones. Giving back to athletes, executives and the next generation. And deliberately placing myself in uncomfortable environments to pressure test my own standards.From watching a client break national powerlifting records just before his 60th birthday, to speaking with school students about what real high performance actually looks like, to receiving my purple belt in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu after years of staying in the fight, to spending a night camping in a cave in brutal Lake District conditions to build skill, perspective and resilience.This episode is not about motivation. It is about reflection with intent.I walk you through how high performing CEOs, founders and executives should be reviewing their year without becoming reactive, restless or burnt out heading into January. How to take pressure off instead of adding more noise. And how to create clarity so Q1 and beyond is executed with precision rather than force.I break down the exact questions I ask myself and my team as we head into the next year, including how to review your performance across mind, body and business, the behaviours to leave behind, the drivers that actually matter, and the deliberate practices that compound over time.We also go deep on why athletic thinking applies to every level of leadership, why done is better than perfect, why deliberate practice beats intensity, and why building a robust human is the real competitive advantage in business.If you are driven, ambitious, and wired for more but feel the weight of pressure, responsibility and expectation, this episode will help you slow down just enough to move faster in the right direction.

Take the test: https://bfp-growth-drivers.scoreapp.comEvery entrepreneur wants growth. Impact. Momentum. But very few can actually pinpoint the drivers that create it.Inside this video, I break down the five core growth drivers we use inside Built For Pressure to assess and elevate executive performance. These are the exact mechanisms I use with founders, CEOs, and high achieving professionals who want to scale their impact without burning out or relying on willpower to hold everything together.Most people watching this are already successful. You already know how to push. What you are looking for now is the margin. The next one percent. The reconnection to the fundamentals that actually move the needle.We cover:• Human optimisation and the difference between vitality, athletic performance, and your physical capacity.• Personal development as an identity, and the minimum standards every high performer must uphold.• High impact behaviour from morning routines to sleep, reflection, presence, and execution.• Professional impact and the operating system required to lead, deliver, and stay in control.• Ownership, direction, adaptability, and the leadership traits that truly separate elite performers.• Self awareness, emotional intelligence, reflective practice, and how to intervene on your own behaviour in real time.These five drivers dictate how you live, lead, and perform under pressure.They are the foundation for sustainable growth and the ability to operate at your best when it matters.If you want help uncovering your bottlenecks and seeing exactly where you need to realign your process, I am offering a free 20 minute implementation call. We will walk through these drivers in real time and map out the precise steps required to regain clarity, capacity, and control.Send me a message on any of the channels below for learn more. 🔗 Connect with me:Linkedin: @willfodenInstagram: @willfodenWebsite www.builtforpressure.net#LeadershipPerformance #Highperformance #ExecutiveMindset #PeakPerformance #BusinessLeadership #EnergyManagement #ResilientLeadership #OptimizeYourself#mentalclarity #peakperformance #PersonalStandards#SuccessUnderPressure #EntrepreneurLife #ElitePerformance #ProductivityHacks #CEOHealth #sustainablesuccess #leadershipdevelopment #worklifebalance #trainsmart #masteryourenergy
The Health ROI Show with Liz BradfordPressure shapes us long before we ever understand how to work with it. I was lucky enough to be on Liz Bradford Health ROI Podcast and we dug deep into the truth that most high performers never get taught.Pressure is not the enemy. Stress is not what breaks you. The frame you use is what determines whether you adapt or fail.We unpack the difference between a challenge response and a stress response, why your language shapes your environment, and how your physiology can be either the ceiling or the catalyst for performance. Most CEOs and leaders tell me they feel stuck, burnt out or plateaued. Not because they lack capability, but because their operating system is built on reaction rather than intention.We also go into the part that most professionals avoid. Recovery. You cannot expect elite results if you train hard while neglecting the structure needed to recover properly. Treating your recovery like a training session is the fastest way to increase capacity, sharpen decision making, and stop relying on caffeine and willpower to get through the day. Three times your recovery means three times your capability.We talk about why your hardware must be optimised before you chase another strategy, how wearables only become a weapon when you understand what the data means, and why so many high achievers fear leverage because their identity is tied to input rather than output. More hours. More strain. More effort. When in reality, peak performance is built on clarity, structured recovery and deliberate stress exposure.If you want exponential growth, you must push your limits, but you also need recovery to consolidate the gains. This conversation is exactly that. No motivation. No surface level tactics. Real frameworks that help you lead yourself under pressure and operate with precision at the level you expect of yourself.If you value performance, leadership and building a body and mind capable of sustaining ambition, this one will resonate.What you will learnWhy recovery must be treated with the same respect as trainingWhy exposure to pressure in controlled environments builds capabilityWhy your perception of stress determines your outcomeWhy a challenge response keeps you adaptive rather than reactiveIf you want to live, lead and perform at the highest level, understanding how to deal with pressure in real time is non negotiable.This was an outstanding conversation with Liz. I would love to know what your biggest takeaway was.You can follow Liz here:LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/lizbradford/YouTube:https://www.youtube.com/@LizBradford-ProtocolX
How to Become More Resilient Is Not What You ThinkMost people think resilience is built through grit, force and determination. In reality, elite levels of resilient behaviour and leadership are only found when you expand your physical and mental capacity.Most high performers mistake capacity for more volume, more intensity or more hustle. But that approach only leads to burnout, depletion and the constant feeling that your next move is one step away from overwhelm.In this episode I sit down with Tom Foxley, a coach and mindset specialist who has spent years working with elite athletes and high performing founders, to unpack what it truly means to expand your physical, emotional and psychological capacity so you can operate at a higher level without burning out.Across this conversation we cover the full spectrum of what drives sustainable high performance. The physical engine that determines your output. The emotional intelligence that dictates the quality of your decisions. The resilience that allows you to rise to pressure rather than collapse under it. And the identity evolution required to hold more without losing who you are.Inside the episode• The truth about physical capacity and why most people train for output instead of adaptation. • What ultra endurance environments teach about thresholds, discipline and exploration. • The connection between recovery, clarity of thought and leadership quality. • Emotional intelligence as a tactical advantage in high performance. • How self awareness becomes a multiplier for founders, executives and athletes. • Why resilience is not toughness and how to build adaptive capacity under pressure. • The identity shift required to expand your capacity beyond your current ceiling.If you feel like you are running on fumes, performing well on paper yet quietly questioning how long you can sustain it, this episode will give you the clarity and direction you need.Capacity is not about how much you can endure. It is about how much you can train yourself to hold physically, emotionally and mentally without losing your identity in the process.This was a powerful conversation and Tom is one of the few professionals genuinely moving the needle in the space of mental performance and finding your edge. Appreciate this man masssively and if this episode has resonated I'd love to hear from you. Learn more about Tom FoxleyInstagram: @Tomfoxley.coachLinkedIn: @TomfoxleyWebsite: www.tomfoxley.me
Building trust with your performance is the biggest driver of success. This week marks a full year of the Built For Pressure Podcast. Fifty-two consecutive episodes on high performance, leadership, resilience, and the mindset required to operate at the top.When I started this show, I made one commitment: produce a year of weekly content. Not for downloads. Not for optics. But to build trust with myself. Because leadership starts there—at identity, discipline, and the promises you keep when no one is watching.After coaching hundreds of high performers—CEOs, founders, executives, and 6–7 figure business owners—one truth has become impossible to ignore:Most top achievers don’t struggle with motivation.They struggle with clarity, indecision, and perfection.In this milestone episode, I break down the three biggest lessons from a year of showing up consistently, from my own development, and from inside the minds, bodies, and businesses of elite operators.1. The Body: Training Sets Your Standard Your physical capacity dictates your psychological capacity. What most leaders call burnout is often an under-trained, under-recovered, under-prioritised body. When your physiology is strong, you can handle turbulence, adapt under pressure, and maintain clarity in chaos.2. The Mind: Clarity Beats Motivation High performers rarely lack drive. They lack decisiveness. Perfection slows execution. Indecision kills momentum. The shift happens the moment you stop trying to feel ready and start acting with conviction, ownership, and focus.3. The Business: Your Personal Limits Become Your Professional Limits Most business problems aren’t business problems they’re personal bottlenecks showing up in strategy, communication, and leadership. When you remove the internal friction, the external results follow.This episode is a reflection, a reset, and a roadmap.Because the real battle for high performance happens internally, long before it shows up in your output.If you want to operate at a higher level, stop waiting for motivation. Start building clarity, conviction, and the courage to execute before you feel ready.Thank you for supporting
If you're a founder and want to live, lead and perform at your best here's how we work: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1m5OZIWgqBzFowqoYTLpJD9fBwVyFDeB7nIVPrQGoeg0/edit?tab=t.0Most founders believe they need more time.But if I gave you more time, you’d fill it with more chaos.The truth is, you don’t have a time problem.You have an energy problem.In this video, I break down why traditional time management doesn’t work for high-performing professionals and founders who are already operating at full capacity.You’ll learn:• Why managing your state is more powerful than managing your schedule.• How to build boundaries into your day that protect your focus and recovery.• The best times to execute high value work versus when to recharge.• How elite performers sustain output without burning outThis is about understanding your state, managing your physiology, and creating the conditions to perform, not just work harder.If you’re a founder, executive, or leader who has tried all the productivity hacks and still feels stretched, this will help you recalibrate.If you're struggling to action this with your diary, DM the word ENERGY for a free training
How to deal with failure is one of the biggest challenges facing any entrepreneur, CEO, or executive heading into 2026 and beyond.This isn’t another motivational soundbite or glossy “how to win” episode. It’s a deep dive into the psychological mechanics of failure — how to fail faster, recover stronger, and keep performing when the pressure’s on.You’ll learn:Why failure is inevitable in leadership — and why that’s an advantage.How to use Dan Sullivan’s Gap and Gain method to reframe setbacks in real time.The exact mental process I use to stop failure from consuming you when the lights go off.Why After Action Reviews are the most underused tool in elite sport and leadership.How to coach yourself through failure instead of criticising yourself for it.This isn’t about being kind to yourself. It’s about learning how to lead yourself under pressure, how to hold the line when things fall apart, and how to move forward with clarity, precision, and intent.If you’re a CEO, founder, or high performer who’s frustrated, plateaued, or feels like you’re “doing everything right” but still not progressing, this episode will show you how to keep attacking — even when you’re up against it.Watch until the end for a breakdown of The Gap and The Gain framework and why failure is the most valuable data you’ll ever receive.Referenced book: The Gap and The Gain by Dan Sullivan.Next Step: If you’re a CEO, executive, or founder who doesn’t need more motivation but needs to know what to do next, DM me the word CALL or visit www.builtforpressure.net to learn more about our leadership and human performance consulting programme.

Author of Be The Lion and his new release The First Domino: How To Land Your First Client In 90 Days or Under.Tim’s work has had a massive influence on me. His mantra, “Believe It’s Possible,” reshaped how I think about ambition, negotiation, and performing under pressure.We dive deep into:His new book and how it will be a game changer for ambitious people to start taking relentless action when needed. The art of possibility and how to play a bigger game in business and lifeBuilding flow, focus, and self-awareness in the early hours of the dayWhat it really means to stop tolerating average and start leading with intentHow to balance huge ambition with being a present dad, husband, and leaderTim’s “Make It Happen” mindset and how to use it in high-pressure moments.Why reducing your proximity to pessimism is the ultimate success hack.This conversation is about courage, conviction, and creating momentum when the odds are stacked against you.If you’re a founder, executive, or athlete in business who’s ready to find your edge and lead with belief, this one will hit home.You can find a link to Tim's webiste and social below as well as a link to his latest book.

If you want to learn more about what we do check this out: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U8LN8QYrZ00Many are feeling the crunch right now. On the surface, they look solid still performing, still showing up. But underneath, they’re tired, frustrated, and dangerously close to dropping their intensity to a subpar level.In this episode, Will breaks down how the elite stay locked in and keep winning when everyone else starts to drift.He shares how to:Find and align your drivers performance with curiosity, passion, and purpose to sustain long-term progress.Build The Stack the daily actions and rituals that create, cultivate, and amplify energy.Apply the 15% Rule to stay sharp without burning out.Replace habits with rituals that anchor focus and discipline.Seek targeted challenges that expand capacity without tipping into chaos.Master state management, knowing who you need to be and when.Engineer your environment for performance (and why sometimes, you should spend money to do it).Keep one “in the locker” when pressure hits and learn to shake hands with uncertainty.Elite operators don’t chase extremes they do what’s necessary. They know their baseline, they protect their health and longevity, and they understand that how they look, move, and recover directly reflects their emotional capacity.This episode will help you realign, refocus, and regain control of your process heading into the back of the year.
If I could go back 10 to 15 years, these are the 12 lessons that would have completely changed how I trained, how I lived, and how I built business.This episode isn’t about theory. It’s about reflecting on what I would do differently to perform at a higher level if I could go back and speak to the man I was when I snapped my knee in half. I break this one into three parts Training, Life, and Business and show you the core frameworks that separate those who keep surviving from those who keep evolving.You’ll learn why building intent before action is the real marker of athletic and professional mastery. Why regulating your inner game is the gateway to lasting performance. And why earning the right to progress in business starts with building the capacity to handle it.If you’ve ever wondered what separates the high performer who sustains it from the one who burns out, this episode will give you the roadmap.If you're looking to break past your current plateau in your performance check this out: https://bit.ly/4nTT8T5Also If you would like to learn more tap this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U8LN8QYrZ00
Most 6 and 7-figure business leaders don’t have a consistency problem, they have a clarity problem.When you’ve been leading, building, and pushing for years, you realise the bottleneck isn’t effort, it’s direction. You’re stuck reacting to everything around you rather than deliberately creating your next level.In this video, I break down the 5 biggest lessons I’ve learnt from working with 6 and 7-figure business owners who’ve gone from burnout and reactivity to clarity, alignment, and growth:You need hard training, but you earn the right to train hard. Learn how to build metrics, recovery and objectivity into your performance to train like an athlete again.Generic advice will never work for you. Your schedule, responsibilities and environment demand specificity, not another cookie-cutter “morning routine" but definitive action steps to build momentum within your current process. When you hit a new level, you’ll want the next. Learn how to align your mindset, body, and business so progress compounds rather than collapses under pressure.High performers crave pressure, not comfort. Why the easy road kills performance and how to embrace productive discomfort to stay sharp.You’ve got to learn how to have fun again. Play and happiness are superpowers that most elite performers forget to use and if I'm honest this is one of my biggest work ons since BC.If you’re a business owner or executive who’s hit that invisible ceiling, this will help you cut through the noise and find clarity before the end of the year.This is about operating like an athlete again, leading, living, and performing with precision, not pressure.If you want to know more about what we do and how we do it click this link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U8LN8QYrZ00
What does it really take to keep leading, performing, and sustaining impact when the pressure never stops?In this episode, I break down the 5 key drivers of leadership that separate those who plateau from those who rise:Human Optimisation – Physical capacity, vitality, energy systems.Personal Development – Identity, high-impact behaviour, mission, vision.Professional Impact – Mastery, operating systems, strategic leadership.Ownership – Direction, self-regulation, personal mastery.Awareness – Emotional intelligence, reflection, clarity.Together, these five drivers form the foundation for any leader who wants to sustain high performance without burning out.I also introduce the Realign & Recommit Protocol: a simple 3-step framework to evaluate where you are, choose one critical shift, and recommit with intention so that you’re not just “surviving” but actually leading with conviction.Whether you’re a CEO, founder, or athlete turned executive, this conversation is about giving you a structure to assess yourself honestly and make deliberate changes that keep you effective under pressure.This isn’t about hacks or quick wins it’s about standards, systems, and becoming the leader people trust when it matters most.If you’re a leader, entrepreneur, or executive who refuses to settle for “average,” this episode will show you where to start and how to sustain the edge.If you'd like to know more about what we do click this: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1m5OZIWgqBzFowqoYTLpJD9fBwVyFDeB7nIVPrQGoeg0/edit?tab=t.0#Leadership #HighPerformance #Entrepreneurship #BuiltForPressure #ExecutiveMindset
Coming back from British Columbia, I realised that the biggest lessons weren’t in the mountains I climbed — they were in the behaviours I chose, the trust I had to build, and the meaning I gave to my actions.In this episode, I break down the key lessons I’m carrying into Q4:Why big feats of performance come from subtle shifts in behaviourHow committing fully builds deeper trustWhy stepping back can be the hardest, but most fulfilling move you makeThe role of intention in creating results that lastThe bigger picture of success — for myself, my family, and my leadershipI also share the powerful questions I’m asking myself this quarter:What does success actually look like?What’s the one move that can snowball everything else?What have I been hiding from, and how can I face it head-on?Am I looking after myself and those around me with the decisions I make?If you’re a leader, entrepreneur, or professional looking to reset, refocus, and perform at a higher level without burning out — this episode will give you the framework to step into Q4 with clarity and intention.If you're a CEO, executive or driven professional and would like to learn more about how Built For Pressure works DM the word BFP for details #HighPerformance #Leadership #BuiltForPressure #GoalSetting #ExecutiveMindset

In this episode, I sit down with Tom Ocleary, owner of OCS Performance and current athlete inside my program who's chasing a 2:45 marathon time. Tom's been part of the Built For Pressure program for over a year, and we've seen multiple personal bests in his athleticism and professional performance, all driven by delving deep into how to leverage his biggest asset: Himself.

It’s easy for your standards to slip without you even noticing. Summer hits and suddenly it’s more BBQ's, more calories, more “I’ll get back to it later.”But high performers don’t drift with the crowd, they hold the standard when others are wavering.In this episode, I discuss the five red flags that you’ve shifted into cruise control and, more importantly, how to get your fire back fast.Here’s what we cover:The subtle mindset shift that turns your big targets into “nice to haves”Why “doing more” before or after a holiday can destroy your progressHow comfort kills momentum in training, business, and lifeWhy elite performance is never about “more” it’s about focus.The most significant sign you’ve lost your edge (and how to fix it instantly)Plus, I’ll give you a performance reset plan to sharpen your training, dial in your nutrition, and get back to urgently attacking your goals.This episode is for you if you want to keep your standards high and persevere when others are backing downIf you want to learn more about how to work with me heres the doc: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1m5OZIWgqBzFowqoYTLpJD9fBwVyFDeB7nIVPrQGoeg0/edit?tab=t.0🔗 Connect with me:Linkedin: @willfodenInstagram: @willfodenWebsite www.builtforpressure.net#LeadershipPerformance #Highperformance #ExecutiveMindset #PeakPerformance #BusinessLeadership #EnergyManagement #ResilientLeadership #OptimizeYourself#mentalclarity #peakperformance #PersonalStandards#SuccessUnderPressure #EntrepreneurLife #ElitePerformance #ProductivityHacks #CEOHealth #sustainablesuccess #leadershipdevelopment #worklifebalance #trainsmart #masteryourenergy

Why? Because they’ve lost connection with the mission, the destination, and the identity of the leader they need to become.In this raw and honest episode, I break down what it really means to live a high performance life?Not just in business, but in your body, mindset, and energy. This isn’t about motivation. It’s about standards. It’s about choice. And it’s about calling out the stories that keep you stuck in survival mode while pretending you’re operating at the top.We’ll cover:Why most high achievers still come last in their own processThe myth of “I don’t have time” and how to flip itHow to train, eat, and think like someone who leads under pressureWhat the BFP standard really looks like in real lifeThis episode is for entrepreneurs, professionals, and leaders who are done being reactive and ready to lead with intentionality, intensity, and identity.You’re not built for pressure until you can operate at pace and bring others with you.🔗 Connect with me:Linkedin: @willfodenInstagram: @willfodenWebsite www.builtforpressure.net#LeadershipPerformance #Highperformance #ExecutiveMindset #PeakPerformance #BusinessLeadership #EnergyManagement #ResilientLeadership #OptimizeYourself#mentalclarity #peakperformance #PersonalStandards#SuccessUnderPressure #EntrepreneurLife #ElitePerformance #ProductivityHacks #CEOHealth #sustainablesuccess #leadershipdevelopment #worklifebalance #trainsmart #masteryourenergy
