2025-06-0621 minWhat Got You There with Sean DeLaneyYou Can’t Grind Your Way Into Joy — Beneath The SurfaceWe’ve been taught to sacrifice joy now in hopes of earning it later. But what if that entire model is broken? In this episode of Beneath the Surface, we explore one of the most important truths about performance, presence, and fulfillment: 👉 You don’t train joy by training stress. 👉 You don’t arrive at peace by living in tension. 👉 The nervous system doesn’t wait for success to feel safe — it adapts to what you repeat. So if you're constantly grinding now, hoping for joy “someday,” your system is only learning one thing...

2025-05-2736 minWhat Got You There with Sean DeLaneyWhen Do You Perform & Live at Your Best? — Beneath The SurfaceWe’ve all been taught that in order to succeed, we need to push harder, grind longer, and sacrifice joy now in hopes of earning it later. But what if that model, the one most high performers live inside, is the very thing keeping us from our best? In this episode, Sean DeLaney unpacks one of the most powerful, paradoxical truths about performance: You don’t perform at your best by gripping harder. You perform at your best when you’re free.
