This conversation lives in The Work We Live In, exploring leadership, systems, and the real consequences of decisions.

I sit down with Dr. Jon Finn, behavioral scientist, high-performance coach, TEDx speaker, and founder of the “Tougher Minds” system going deep on the psychology behind sustained change, peak performance, and the mental habits that drive real leadership.

Dr. Finn has spent the last 20+ years helping leaders, teams, athletes, and organizations improve resilience, focus, confidence, decision-quality, and human performance using evidence-based behavioral science.

Together, we explore:

• The science of habit formation and identity-based change
• Why most leadership training fails to change behavior
• How to build high-performance routines that actually stick
• The link between mental fitness, emotional regulation, and culture
• Practical tools for resilience, self-awareness, and high-pressure decision-making
• The human layer underneath AI adoption and business transformation

If you're a founder, CHRO, coach, leader, creator, or anyone navigating complexity, this episode will give you realistic, actionable ways to change how you think, feel, and lead, starting today.
