What does it take to thrive in today’s high-pressure, constantly shifting world?

We’re back with a special Finding Mastery Ask Me Anything with Dr. Michael Gervais! In this AMA, we're thrilled to welcome our good friend, Yogi Roth, for a powerful conversation on navigating life's most challenging moments. Drawing from our extensive experience with elite performers, educators, and healthcare professionals, we dig deep into questions that resonate with all of us trying to thrive in today's complex world.

Through thoughtful questions from our community, we explore the delicate balance between performance and self-worth, recovery strategies for busy professionals, and how to maintain purpose when facing uncertainty.

We dig into some fascinating topics, including:

• The "tail wagging the dog" trap - Never let your performance dictate your self-worth
• Recovery isn't optional - Elite performers prioritize recovery with training
• Mastering the spaces between moments - Find presence in small pauses throughout your day
• Why every world-class performer shares fundamental optimism - And how you can develop it
• When to double down on purpose - Using your values as an anchor during times of uncertainty
• The power of micro choices - Making thousands of small right decisions each day creates transformation

Join us for this illuminating conversation that reminds us how our daily choices shape not just our performance, but who we become. We hope these insights can offer practical wisdom that applies whether you're leading a team, supporting others, or simply trying to find your footing in challenging circumstances.

How do you lead with conviction—without losing your center?

Tenzin Seldon is a global climate advocate, human rights leader, and one of the first Tibetan-Americans to rise through the ranks of elite institutions like Stanford and Oxford. But her story isn’t about prestige—it’s about purpose.

Born to Tibetan refugee parents, Tenzin’s life has been shaped by activism, faith, and a deep connection to community. In this conversation, she shares what it means to be “the first,” how ritual and compassion help her stay grounded, and why indigenous wisdom is essential to solving the climate crisis.

We explore the inner practices that support outer impact, and the tension between ambition and integrity. Tenzin offers a refreshing perspective—one that moves beyond fear and toward meaningful action.

Originally recorded last fall, this episode feels more urgent than ever. As you listen, reflect on what it takes to stay rooted when the world feels uncertain—and how you show up when your values are tested.

What does it take to build one of the most respected teams in the NFL — and lead it with heart, grit, and humility?

This episode is a special one. Recorded right in the heart of Seahawks territory in Seattle, I got to sit down with my friend, John Schneider, General Manager of the Seattle Seahawks.

John has spent over a decade helping to build one of the NFL’s most competitive and consistent franchises—leading through authenticity, values, and a deep commitment to excellence. Having worked closely with John for nine seasons, including two unforgettable trips to the Super Bowl—I can share that he leads from the front. Nothing contrived, nothing manufactured. He leads by being himself and by caring about his teammates.

What you’re going to hear in this conversation is a masterclass in leadership — grounded in football and deeply relevant to life. We talk about how John developed his values growing up in rural Wisconsin, the work ethic he learned from his dad, and the toughness he inherited from his mom. He shares how faith and humility anchor his decision-making, even when the pressure’s on and the spotlight’s bright.

As you listen, I invite you to reflect on how you respond when things don’t go as planned. And how might a clearer, more values-driven approach shift the way you lead—in sport, in work, and even at home?

Let’s dive in with the GM of the Seattle Seahawks, John Schneider.
