In this episode of Mindset Matters, hosts Patrick and Steffany explore the power of response ability, the practiced ability to respond rather than react. Patrick opens with Viktor Frankl’s insight that between stimulus and response lies a space, and in that space is our power to choose. Using an archer metaphor, he reminds us that we cannot control the wind, but we can control our breath, our focus, and the moment we release the arrow. The conversation centers on cultivating mental clarity, courage, and self awareness in a polarized world. Patrick and Steffany unpack how divisive headlines, social media algorithms, and echo chambers amplify emotional reactivity. They offer a practical alternative. Pause, breathe, notice your triggers, then choose your next step with intention. Real courage often comes before action. It is the moment you stop, ask harder questions, and own the outcomes of your choices. The duo discusses the ego’s need to be right, how defensiveness narrows perspective, and why waiting to respond can be the smartest strategy. They share stories from sport and life about zeroing in, regulating breath, and returning to center before taking the shot. Listeners are encouraged to examine the beliefs that drive automatic reactions, to diversify the information they consume, and to consciously step outside algorithm shaped feeds. Steffany highlights how feelings are feedback rather than facts, while Patrick stresses that responsibility begins with awareness of the space between event and action. The episode closes with a simple practice. When triggered, take a beat, let the emotion land, and respond only when aligned with your values and desired identity. In a noisy, rapidly changing world, mastery of that space is the path to growth, resilience, and freedom.
In this episode, Patrick Francey sits down with Dre Baldwin to explore what it really takes to command a room, win consistently, and translate athletic rigor into business results. Dre opens by defining presence as an energetic signal people feel before they know your resume. It is not height, clothing, or a pasted-on smile. Presence is the outward expression of inner order built from discipline, structure, strategy, execution, and confidence. Patrick shares a story about receiving feedback that his natural intensity could feel intimidating. By loosening his look and adding a conscious smile, he noticed people approached him more easily. Dre explains that strong presence creates productive tension. You can dial that tension up or down, but easing it too much can reduce your impact. Dre draws on sports to explain why presence cannot be faked. In basketball, the scoreboard is objective. Talent gets you in the door, but disciplined habits keep you there. The pros and the “plumbers” both know thousands want their spot, so work ethic matters most on the days you do not feel like showing up. That same logic applies in business. Leaders with true presence raise standards without speeches. Their very arrival makes others sit up, focus, and perform. Mindset is the first lever. Dre uses the BE → DO → HAVE model. You become the person, then you do the work, and only then do you have the results. Because most thoughts are subconscious, you must reprogram the mind through repetition, immersion, and emotional intensity. Practical cues like posture, eye contact, and putting your phone away can spark a quick confidence reset, but lasting presence comes from living your structure daily. Dre also addresses life after sport. He intentionally planned his transition rather than defaulting to coaching or training. The concept of “credibility fusion” allows you to carry forward lessons from different arenas and combine them into a coherent value proposition. He closes with his GAME model for achievement: define what winning looks like, build the skills and tools, install structure that produces discipline, let discipline create consistency, let consistency build confidence, and let confidence power performance and results. Patrick wraps by highlighting the episode’s central insight: presence is a way of being that anyone can build through disciplined execution and a trained mind.

In this episode of the Mindset Matters podcast, hosts Patrick and Steffany Francey reflect on the increasing divisiveness shaping today’s world. Sparked by the death of Charlie Kirk, the conversation expands beyond the event itself into a broader exploration of perception, polarity, and personal growth in uncertain times. Patrick and Steffany highlight how we may share the same planet yet live in completely different worlds shaped by our beliefs, perspectives, and echo chambers. They discuss the danger of silencing voices, the rise of misinformation, and the loss of healthy debate in a culture that often prioritizes outrage over understanding. Rather than focusing solely on politics, the episode asks deeper questions: How do we remain aligned with our values when surrounded by chaos? How do we find clarity and purpose when confronted by fear, anger, and division? Steffany reflects on the courage it takes to move past lower emotional states like guilt and shame toward higher vibrations of self-awareness, love, and forgiveness. Patrick underscores the importance of returning to center by practicing self-reflection, listening without judgment, and intentionally shifting perspective. Together, they call for cultivating resilience and self-love while encouraging listeners to seek first to understand before demanding to be understood. Ultimately, this episode offers both a sobering look at the fractures in our world and a hopeful reminder that change begins within. By clearing mental clutter, reconnecting with our truth, and choosing courage over fear, we can create space for more meaningful dialogue, stronger communities, and personal transformation.

In this episode of Mindset Matters, hosts Patrick and Steffany unpack a provocative question: Is coaching a scam? With more than 30 years of experience in coaching, mentoring, and performance psychology, they shed light on why coaching often fails to deliver lasting results—and what actually makes the difference. Many people sign up for coaching programs, feel an initial burst of motivation, and then quickly lose momentum. Patrick and Steffany explore why that happens. The problem is not always the strategy or the “how to.” The real challenge lies much deeper—in our identity, values, and hidden beliefs. Using a fruit tree metaphor, they explain that actions are the fruit, but the true source of growth lies in the roots. Unless the roots—our mindset, clarity, and self-beliefs—are addressed, no amount of technical coaching will create sustainable change. They introduce their unique approach called the MindShui Way, which blends coaching with deep inner work to help people uncover limiting beliefs, realign values, and clear the mental clutter that blocks success. It is about becoming the person capable of achieving the goals, not just learning the steps to reach them. Steffany shares insights from her work with elite athletes, while Patrick draws on decades of experience with entrepreneurs and leaders. Together, they highlight why mentorship and identity-level growth are essential. Coaching is not a scam—it is often incomplete when it stops at the surface. True transformation comes when we look inward, face what is holding us back, and cultivate resilience from the roots up. Whether you are an athlete, entrepreneur, or someone seeking personal growth, this episode will challenge your perspective on coaching and inspire you to dig deeper into your own roots for lasting success.
In this episode of Mindset Matters, hosts Patrick and Steffany dive into one of life’s greatest paradoxes: our search for certainty in an uncertain world. Together, they explore how fear, worry, and anxiety often arise from the human need to control the uncontrollable, and why learning to embrace uncertainty may be the key to resilience, creativity, and peace of mind. Patrick frames uncertainty as the space between what we know and what we cannot yet see, pointing out how this gap often produces stress, decision fatigue, and even physical health challenges. Steffany adds that our brains are wired for prediction, and when outcomes are unclear, the body reacts with a threat response, flooding us with stress hormones like cortisol. This not only affects mental well-being but also impacts how we show up in our relationships, careers, and goals. Rather than resisting uncertainty, Patrick and Steffany encourage listeners to view it as a blank canvas, a whiteboard where possibility and creativity can flourish. They emphasize that resilience is built when we stop trying to control every outcome and instead focus on what we can manage - our mindset, our responses, and our values. Drawing on their coaching experience, they share how certainty can be borrowed and shared. When one person holds confidence and belief, it can help calm the doubts of another. This powerful dynamic not only builds trust but also reinforces that uncertainty does not have to equal fear. Ultimately, the hosts challenge listeners to shift perspective: uncertainty is not a threat but life’s greatest constant, offering opportunities to adapt, grow, and thrive.

In this special milestone episode of Mindset Matters, Patrick and Steffany celebrate their 200th conversation — four years of showing up every week to explore the thoughts that shape our lives. What began as small, incremental steps — “bricks” laid one at a time — has become something much larger: a body of work, a philosophy, and a practice that has not only shaped them but also deeply impacted their listeners. Reflecting on this journey, they share the lessons learned through consistency, vulnerability, and growth. From navigating the divisiveness of recent years to launching new programs like Mind Shui and the Lift newsletter, Patrick and Steffany discuss how their podcast became both a record of their evolution and a platform for meaningful dialogue. They highlight the truth that clarity creates velocity, and that momentum is built one conversation, one step, at a time. The episode dives into profound takeaways: the importance of discipline over habits, the need to embrace discomfort as a catalyst for change, and the willingness to be misunderstood as part of living authentically. Steffany reflects on overcoming resistance to change, and how dropping expectations allowed her to show up with greater creativity and presence. Patrick emphasizes how identity shapes behavior, reminding listeners that we must become the person capable of achieving our goals, rather than waiting for achievement to define us. Together, they explore the role of hidden beliefs — like “not enough” or “unworthy” — and how these subconscious narratives can quietly sabotage growth if left unchallenged. They also reflect on the natural evolution of relationships, the resilience forged through change, and the courage required to say “no” without apology. Ultimately, this milestone episode is less about looking back and more about looking forward. Patrick and Steffany invite listeners to join them in pushing the cart up the hill — not attached to the outcome, but committed to the journey. With gratitude, humor, and hard-won insight, they remind us that the whole is greater than the sum of its parts, and that our own transformation unfolds one intentional step at a time
In this insightful episode of Mindset Matters, Patrick and Steffany unpack one of the most pervasive and rarely discussed challenges in personal and professional development: imposter syndrome. Through the powerful story of Claire, a successful architect paralyzed by self-doubt, they explore how high achievers can still feel like frauds despite overwhelming evidence of their competence. This conversation dives into the hidden beliefs of “not enough” and “unworthiness” that often lie beneath imposter syndrome. Patrick reflects on his own journey of feeling like an imposter despite decades of business success, while Steffany shares how performance psychology has taught her — and the elite athletes she coaches — to make peace with their “inner fraud.” Together, they reveal how imposter syndrome doesn’t just affect those who have already “made it,” but also holds back those who hesitate to start. Many people stay stuck in a cycle of needing more credentials or waiting for the perfect moment, rather than taking bold action from where they are. They also explore the psychological tools like alter egos and avatars — inspired by athletes like Michael Jordan and performers like Beyoncé — that can help people overcome moments of self-doubt and show up fully, even under pressure. The episode highlights how comparison, judgment, and societal expectations especially around appearance and success, often intensify feelings of fraudulence — especially for women. Ultimately, Patrick and Steffany call listeners to examine where imposter syndrome may be quietly sabotaging their growth, and how authenticity, self-reflection, and gratitude for one’s journey can collapse those limiting beliefs.

In this deeply reflective episode of Mindset Matters, Patrick and Steffany dive headfirst into a challenging question: Does the world punish honesty? Drawing inspiration from a powerful quote often attributed to George Orwell, “The further a society drifts from the truth, the more it will hate those who speak it,” they open up an unfiltered conversation about the rising tension between truth, conformity, and individual values in today’s world. Together, they explore how societal narratives, government systems, and cultural pressures can create emotional suppression, internal conflict, and even physical dis-ease. Patrick frames the discussion through the lens of MindShui– Feng Shui for the mind- asking what mental clutter must be cleared when truth itself feels under attack. Steffany brings in her work with high-performance athletes, highlighting how value-based decision-making is essential, even under extreme pressure. This episode touches on: The difference between objective truth and personal truth How critical thinking is being eroded by repetitive narratives The role of stress in both mental and physical health Why clarity begins with courageously choosing your own values How to remain grounded in a noisy, divided world Patrick and Steffany challenge listeners to ask better questions, listen more deeply, and evaluate what they are defending when they feel offended. Rather than blindly reacting to societal shifts, they encourage purposeful thinking, emotional alignment, and the importance of setting intentions rooted in clarity and compassion. Whether you’re feeling anxious, burnt out, or simply overwhelmed by the noise of modern life, this episode offers a grounded invitation to realign with what’s true for you – even when the world doesn’t applaud it.
In this insightful and emotionally honest episode of Mindset Matters, Patrick and Steffany explore one of their core philosophies: clarity equals velocity. Through personal anecdotes, relationship dynamics, and mental performance coaching principles, they unpack what clarity really means and why it is often more layered and elusive than we realize. They begin by acknowledging that many people aren't even clear that they lack clarity. Like cleaning a house and discovering hidden dust in the corners, gaining clarity requires digging deeper and peeling back layers of beliefs, assumptions, and emotional resistance. Awareness is only the first step. Action must follow. Without it, clarity is just another thought floating in the clutter of indecision. Steffany shares how people often hide behind confusion or delay tactics to avoid taking responsibility for the life they say they want. Patrick echoes that true transformation only happens when we stop blaming, stop making excuses, and fully own our role in the outcomes we’re experiencing. They touch on the emotional cost of caring too much about what others think—how judgment, fear, and societal expectations can block us from making aligned decisions. Whether it's choosing a career path to please a parent or avoiding a courageous conversation, the weight of perceived judgment often keeps us stuck. The episode also highlights the power of authentic relationships as mirrors that reflect our growth edges, and how discomfort within those dynamics often signals an opportunity for deeper self-awareness. Ultimately, this episode is a reminder that clarity does not always come in a lightning bolt—it comes from small steps, tough questions, and owning our truth one decision at a time. When you get clear, you move faster and with purpose.

A national champion in both Canada and Denmark, Kate represented her countries at four World Figure Skating Championships.

In this powerful and thought-provoking episode of Mindset Matters, Patrick and Steffany dive deep into a concept they call The Michelangelo Effect. Inspired by the legendary sculptor who claimed to “see the angel in the marble and carve until he set him free,” they explore how personal transformation is not about adding more to our lives, but about removing what no longer serves us. Too often, we get caught up in the pursuit of “more” — more doing, more goals, more identities. But what if the real journey is about subtracting the noise, outdated beliefs, and false identities we've picked up along the way? The conversation emphasizes that the masterpiece already exists within us, and our job is to chip away the emotional clutter, the stories we tell ourselves, and the ego’s need to be right. Patrick shares candid reflections from his own life about how aging has offered new clarity. He contrasts the drive for more during his younger years with his current desire to simplify and uncover deeper truths. Steffany highlights how in coaching, it's not about fixing people but helping them remove the layers that hide their true potential. Whether it's in our health, relationships, careers, or personal development, this episode invites listeners to ask: What am I willing to remove? Who are the sculptors in my life? And am I brave enough to be one for someone else? This is a conversation about authenticity, acceptance, and the courage to face the parts of ourselves that no longer align with who we truly are. The MindShui path is not about becoming — it’s about uncovering.
In this energizing throwback Thursday episode of Mindset Matters, Patrick and Olympic mental performance coach Steffany Hanlen dive deep into a topic that quietly drains our potential: energy leaks. These subtle, often unnoticed drains on our mental, emotional, and physical energy can have a major impact on focus, creativity, and overall well-being. Patrick and Steffany begin by exploring how energy leaks often show up in the form of procrastination, clutter, incomplete tasks, and emotional baggage. From unfiled paperwork to unsaid conversations, these seemingly small “incompletions” clutter the mind and zap energy. Whether it’s avoiding a tough email, dodging a difficult conversation, or ruminating over the past or future, every bit of unresolved thought consumes vital energy. They emphasize that energy leaks are often rooted in unmet expectations, broken self-promises, or distractions like gossip and social media. One key insight is that your energy is a limited resource—where you spend it matters. Even high-performing entrepreneurs and elite athletes fall victim to energy drains from disorganization or scattered focus. Steffany offers a powerful tool: make a list of your incompletions and energy leaks. Simply identifying them is the first step toward reclaiming that energy. Ask yourself, “Is this something I can close right now?” If not, put it on a “not now” list and release the guilt. Patrick and Steffany also share how clearing just one incompletion can begin to restore mental clarity and emotional bandwidth. This episode is a wake-up call to take inventory of what’s leaking your energy and how to intentionally plug those holes. Whether through mono-tasking, clear communication, or cleaning up emotional clutter, you’ll walk away with actionable tools to recharge your inner generator and create more space for what really matters.

In this episode of Mindset Matters, Patrick and Steffany introduce and unpack a transformative approach they call “MindShui” – a method inspired by Feng Shui, but designed for the mind. Rather than just focusing on mindset, which Patrick explains has become an overused term, MindShui is about intentionally decluttering your thoughts, uncovering hidden beliefs, and aligning your inner world to create clarity and momentum in life. Steffany flips the script by putting Patrick in the hot seat, asking him to share the origin and evolution of MindShui. He explains how it emerged from years of coaching, leadership, and personal development work, and emphasizes that clarity doesn’t come from more information but from removing the internal noise that blocks our awareness and intuition. Together, they explore how mental clutter can stem from hidden beliefs, outdated narratives, emotional overwhelm, or the pressure to perform. When this clutter is cleared or organized with awareness, we experience lightness, freedom, and the ability to be more fully present. It’s about creating mental space so you can lead from your authentic self and move through life with intention rather than reaction. Steffany reflects on how even simple language shifts—like redefining “busy” as “full”—can change how we see ourselves and the world. They also highlight the importance of self-awareness, self-compassion, and conscious choice in building resilience and inner sovereignty. Ultimately, The MindShui Way is a practice. It is about becoming who you truly are by shedding the noise of who you are not. This episode offers a refreshing and empowering framework for anyone seeking clarity, peace of mind, and a more purposeful way of living.
In this powerful episode of the Mindset Matters podcast, Patrick and Steffany take a deep dive into a topic that touches every aspect of our daily lives: the ego. Titled Partner With Your Ego, this conversation explores what it really means to stop battling your ego and instead learn how to understand it, work with it and grow through it. Patrick opens by reframing the ego as neither friend nor enemy but as a lifelong companion. Together, they explore insights from leading thinkers like Eckhart Tolle, Dr. Gabor Maté, Michael Singer, Carl Jung, Richard Rohr and Brené Brown. Each expert offers a fresh lens: Tolle reminds us the ego clings to false identities and craves being right, while Maté reframes the ego as a protective child shaped by early environments. Singer calls the ego our restless inner narrator, Jung invites us to integrate our shadow selves and Rohr highlights the masks we wear to seek approval and control. Patrick and Steffany unpack how our need to be right, loved or in control often reveals hidden fears and old wounds. They challenge listeners to ask what their ego is still protecting and how old patterns may be blocking deeper connections, success and peace of mind. Steffany shares how small moments of self-awareness - noticing when we defend ourselves, seek control or put on masks - can create profound shifts. They urge listeners to question their identity, drop the armor and stand firm in their authentic values. If you’re ready to shift from fighting your ego to partnering with it for growth, clarity and real connection, this episode delivers wisdom, laughter and practical tools to help you show up as your truest self.
