True leadership begins with Self-Leadership. Patterns of Power is the essential playbook for high performers, executives, and leaders ready to dismantle the reactive habits that limit their potential and step fully into their authority. Hosted by Craig Perra, world-renowned coach and creator of The Mindful Habit® System, this show utilizes a framework that evolved from treating the most severe addictions into a comprehensive leadership model. We recognize that for a leader, a distraction is not just a bad habit—it represents a massive cost to your focus, your influence, and your legacy. We move beyond the limited "addiction model" to a Leadership Model. We view every distraction—whether it is imposter syndrome, anger, gambling, shopping, procrastination, shutting down, doomscrolling, porn, alcohol, or overwork—as a failure of self-leadership, and an immediate opportunity to reclaim your power. From Chaos to Command: Craig’s methodology is forged in fire. Once a top corporate executive fired by billion-dollar companies while battling addictions to heroin, stimulants, sex, and work, Craig hit rock bottom. Diagnosed with PTSD and bipolar II, he realized traditional therapy and 12-step programs weren't enough. He rebuilt his life by engineering a new framework: The Mindful Habit® System. His expertise and transformation have been featured on The Steve Harvey Show, The Katie Couric Show, A&amp;E's Digital Addiction, Good Morning Sacramento, and the BBC. Who This Is For This system has helped thousands of leaders in over 30 countries—including CEOs of global corporations, Olympians, professional athletes, and 7, 8, and 9-figure entrepreneurs —move from reactivity to radical self-ownership. Craig holds space for leaders at the highest levels, teaching them that any place where you are reactive is a place where you must lead. "The cave you fear to enter holds the treasure you seek." Blending neuroscience, mindfulness, Internal Family Systems (IFS), and habit formation, this podcast delivers a science-based alternative to the "recovery" mindset, focusing instead on strategic self-governance. In each episode, you will learn to: <ul><li>Stop Coping, Start Leading: Transform reactive behaviors (getting defensive, checking out, acting out) into conscious, executive decisions. </li><li>Command Your Physiology: Master the biology of stress and anxiety to maintain composure under pressure. </li><li>Weaponize Your Story: Turn your deepest shame and worst patterns into your greatest assets for leadership. </li><li>Establish Sovereignty: Build habits that align with your purpose, relationships, and performance, rather than your impulses.</li></ul>What started as a way to treat sex and porn addiction has evolved into a self-leadership model that helps men quickly step into and stay in their power. If you are a leader ready to stop hiding, start leading, and turn your chaos into clarity—Welcome to Patterns of Power.
