His business is growing.
He’s just become a dad.
And everything feels harder.
Not because he’s disorganised.
Not because he lacks discipline.
Not because he needs better time management.
But because he’s internally divided.
In this episode, I break down the hidden psychological conflict that shows up when ambitious founders become fathers — the tension between performance, partnership, fitness, and identity.
We look at:
Why “doing more” won’t fix this
The baseline anxiety most new dads never name
How people-pleasing habits quietly sabotage high standards
And how integrating your competing internal parts restores clarity and capacity
High performance isn’t about squeezing more into your day.
It’s about increasing your capacity to handle more — without resentment, guilt, or internal chaos.
Elite mental fitness is a sets and reps game. Put the reps in.
