    "You Don't Have to Hit Rock Bottom to Change Your Life" | Rachel McElreath

    Rachel McElreath started drinking at fifteen because it was the only way she could find her voice. Years later a doctor told her she was one stage away from cancer. She never drank again.Today she is a keynote speaker and the founder of Purpose Powerhouse, teaching people to find and use the voice she spent most of her life borrowing. In this conversation with Seth Pepper: why identity comes before technique in public speaking, the framework she gives clients instead of a script, the walks that generate all her material, why she raises her five-year-old completely screen-free, and how she and her mother taught themselves to communicate after a suicide attempt neither could talk about for years.This conversation includes discussion of suicide and substance use, and Rachel shares her own health experience — nothing here is medical advice.

    The Simulation Method | Larry Smith

    At ten years old, Larry Smith was simulating full basketball games alone at the park, imagining himself in Madison Square Garden. Thirty-five years later he'd walk through a set of double doors in Arizona and find the 2009 NBA All-Star court sitting inside a private home.Larry is a performance coach and the founder of Club Larry in Phoenix. He's trained Devin Booker, Tyson Chandler, Eric Bledsoe and 49ers receiver Deebo Samuel Sr., and in the final months of Muhammad Ali's life he worked with The Greatest four to five days a week. Getting there meant selling his only car for $1,200 to buy a $350 one-way ticket, walking on at Cincinnati and never playing a minute, and sleeping in the back of a Ford Expedition the night before a 150-man tryout.He and Seth Pepper get into the thing Larry was doing for decades without a name for it: running the simulation. Seeing the room before you're in it. Making the team normal before anyone picks you.

    The Easier It Is to Be Good, the Harder It Is to Be Great | Derin McMains

    Derin McMains never played a day in the major leagues. Seven years in the Giants organization, five season-ending injuries, as far as Triple-A and no further. He calls it failing at the biggest goal of his life — and says it's the reason he isn't afraid of anything now. Fourteen years later he's a Mental Performance Consultant for the Arizona Diamondbacks and Director of Mental Performance at ReliaQuest. He's built programs for the Giants, the Mariners, and Notre Dame athletics. Seth talks with D-Mac about the framework behind it all: identity determines perspective, perspective determines thoughts, thoughts determine emotions, emotions influence actions. Plus the one-thought reset, what it actually means to compete, why initiative might be the whole secret, and what happens when a generation raised controlling its own narrative walks into a stadium of 70,000 people who won't cooperate. Find Derin on Instagram @dmac_mindset and his show, No Show Dogs, wherever you listen. If this one lands, follow the show — and send it to a friend who needs it.

    The GIVE Principle | with Judy Thureson

    Judy Thureson didn't start dancing seriously until she was eighteen. Two years later she had an agent, MTV credits, and a world tour — along with a habit of reaching the final round of auditions and then quietly deciding she didn't belong in the room. She takes Seth through the whole arc: the discipline years, the flow state that won her a music video, the man on a bus who told her she could have a career or a life, and the loss of her son Jacob in 2019 — after which she wrote Beautiful Tragedy in eighteen days and started getting calls from strangers who'd read it and changed their minds about dying.Also covered: the GIVE framework she teaches for staying grounded in chaos, what her son taught her about giving from overflow rather than an empty cup, and the car ride to California that redirected her life. Judy Thureson is a transformational coach, the author of Beautiful Tragedy, founder of The Ultimate Experience, and founder of Get It Movement Pilates in Scottsdale and Gilbert, Arizona. She is also married to this show's producer — a relationship we'd rather you hear about from us. Contains discussion of substance use, suicide, and child loss. 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline: call or text 988 (US).

    You're at the Banquet — But You're on the Menu | Jim Grossman

    Jim Grossman has spent decades as the quiet voice in the ears of elite performers — the mentor behind the mentor, including host Seth Pepper himself. In this wide-ranging conversation, he opens up about the hardest transition in all of sport: what happens when the game ends. Jim lays out the three forces underneath every athletic career — process, passion, and relentless adaptation — and makes the case that building a life beyond your sport doesn't compete with your performance, it deepens it. Drawing on Kobe Bryant's reinvention, Mike Sullivan's journey from journeyman to Stanley Cup–winning coach, and Joseph Campbell's Hero's Journey, Jim offers a blueprint for the question every athlete eventually confronts: who am I when I'm no longer the one thing I do? He closes with a heartfelt call to protect the joy — and to build the prevention resources that still don't exist.

    Learn To Say No | Dr. Rahsaan Lindsey

    Dr. Rahsaan Lindsey has spent his career inside the minds of elite athletes — as team psychiatrist for the Arizona Cardinals and across the NFL, NBA, WNBA, and MLB. In this episode, he and host Seth Pepper dig into the controllables that actually decide performance: sleep, substances, chaos, and the people you surround yourself with. Then the conversation flips, and the guest starts asking the questions. On ADHD in pro sports, marijuana's quiet toll on careers, social media as addiction, and why sleep may be the most underrated edge in the game.

    There is an AI in You — Ryan Sweeney on the Inner Game

    What if the wisdom that shaped Tom Brady, Steve Kerr, Billie Jean King, and Serena Williams could live in your pocket? Ryan Sweeney — former competitive tennis player, software entrepreneur, and CEO of The Inner Game — joins Seth Pepper to talk about Tim Gallwey's classic The Inner Game of Tennis and how he partnered with Gallwey himself to build an AI-assisted mental performance coach around it. They get into Self 1 vs. Self 2, the famous 60 Minutes demonstration, the paradox of performing better when you're sick or injured, and the formula at the heart of it all: performance = potential − interference. Plus the moment Gallwey looked into a camera and said something about AI that left the whole room speechless. A conversation for athletes, founders, artists, and anyone who's ever gotten in their own way.
