What if the fastest way to lead better at work and love harder at home is to treat your health as the ultimate leverage point? We sit down with veteran coach Brian Perana to unpack why energy, not willpower, drives your ability to influence, connect, and show up with presence—and how small, consistent choices create the kind of self-trust that changes everything.
Brian has coached thousands of high performers, from entrepreneurs to Olympians, and his playbook is refreshingly practical. We talk about the “middle gear” that replaces all-or-nothing plans, pattern interrupts that stop autopilot in its tracks, and real systems for busy men who juggle careers, marriage, and kids. You’ll hear stories of clients who turned around scary health markers with simple routines, plus unexpected tactics that work in the real world: alarms that force action, environment design that removes friction, and tiny daily promises that rebuild identity from the ground up.
This conversation is a reminder that confidence is earned through action. We map out the first steps—walk breaks, hydration, timely meals, and buffer blocks between meetings—and explore how those basics fuel sharper thinking, steady emotions, and stronger relationships. Brian’s travel with his family across 49 states underscores a universal truth: people everywhere just want a joyful, healthy life, and the fundamentals never go out of style. If your days feel like plaid-speed chaos, you’ll leave with a simple compass question to use at every fork: what’s the next best step to better myself?
