“As a society of humans, we were bad at grace for ourselves and so you have to build that into being a peak performer to be a great leader,” says Dr. David Radosevich, a psychologist specializing in high-performance leadership. In this episode, Dr. Radosevich shares his expertise on achieving the flow state—a mental condition where individuals perform and feel their best. He explains how tapping into this state involves harnessing neurochemicals that elevate focus and performance.   The discussion covers practical strategies for accessing flow, such as eliminating trivial tasks, prioritizing crucial activities, and managing energy over time. Dr. Radosevich emphasizes the importance of strategic time blocking, active recovery, and the cultural shift needed to move away from overwork.   Dr. Salyer and Dr. Radosevich highlight the role of active recovery and micro-recoveries for high-demand professionals. They share personal stories and tips on integrating flow triggers into daily routines, such as breathwork and physical activity.   This episode provides actionable advice for enhancing efficiency and well-being. Dr. Radosevich encourages listeners to adopt self-care strategies to prevent burnout and achieve success, making this a must-listen for anyone looking to elevate their life and career through the power of flow.   Quotes • “I would say, in the business world, people are grinding too much and they’re not taking the time to pause, reflect, and figure out: ‘How can I work smarter and happier and get even greater results?’” (03:59 | David Radosevich)  • “We really encourage people to engage in active recovery, which is basically positive stress for the body; working it out. So that much like an athlete, we go up, we go down, we oscillate up and down. And when we engage in active recovery, we’re actually increasing our window of tolerance for stress. The line isn’t going straight. Our tolerance is going up slowly so we build that tolerance just like we’re training for a 10K or a half marathon. We get stronger the more we do it.
