What happens when a former Green Beret and a neuroscientist team up to take on the way we think about stress, recovery, and peak performance?

In this episode, I sit down with Chris Wagner and Dave Abarbanel, the founders of SAPIEN Recovery, a new performance tech startup focused on helping athletes, military veterans, and high-stress professionals regulate their nervous systems and recover faster.

We get into:

• The science of nervous system regulation
• How trauma and stress affect elite performance
• How their backgrounds (special operations + neuroscience) shaped the product
• Why recovery tools often miss the mark — and how SAPIEN is different
• How nervous system work applies to athletes, military, and everyday stress

Whether you’re an athlete chasing peak output, a coach looking to help your clients recover smarter, or just someone trying to stay grounded in an overstimulated world this episode delivers insights that go deeper than just ice baths and HRV.
