LFG Energy Podcast

Somewhere along the way, the standard dropped in business, in leadership, and in how we show up every single day.In this episode of the LFG Energy Podcast, we break down what’s really happening behind the scenes… why respect is disappearing, why average has become acceptable, and how that’s quietly costing people their opportunities.More importantly, we get into how you fix it.From the difference between starters, bench players, and those off the team… to the patterns of greatness, consistency, and obsession required to actually win, this episode is about raising your level and holding the line when others won’t.

They see the bottles on shelves. The big fundraising headlines. The celebrity investor name drops. The “overnight success.”What they don’t see is the part where the company almost hits zero.Where the supply chain breaks. The product gets shut down. The term sheet gets ripped up. And the founder has to get dragged out of bed because the stress is so heavy.In this episode, Yanni breaks down the real story behind building a modern consumer brand the hard way, from a hyper-competitive college basketball coaching background to a “light bulb moment” in 2017, to selling 142 million bottles, raising $100M+, and fighting through the kind of setbacks that end most companies.

In this episode, I share two powerful traits I’ve seen in the world’s top performers—from elite Taekwondo athletes to high achievers in everyday life.

I break down what mental toughness really means—showing up as your best, no matter the circumstances—and how to audit yourself with one simple question.
