If you’re doing “all the right things” (training, food, mobility, meditation) but still hitting a ceiling, this episode is your unlock. Patrick sits down with mentor and EMG pioneer David Lemke to expose what actually breaks performance and how to fix it fast.

We dig into what real-time surface EMG reveals about the body: why humans fail in predictable patterns, how fatigue shows up first (before pain), and why training in a flattened, symmetrical world keeps you stuck. You’ll learn why the extension chain (hamstrings → glutes → paraspinals + TVA) is the missing capacity engine for high performers and exactly how to wake it up.

In this episode you’ll learn:

• Why isolation training and mirror muscles cap your results
• The hamstring-first firing truth (and what it means for your core)
• How to correct the core twist and stop compensations
• The adductors/abductors mistake draining your glutes (and power)
• Simple upgrades: uneven surfaces, knees-out band work, laughter to activate TVA (yes, really)

If willpower worked, you’d be done by now. Upgrade the operating system.

Celebrity trainer and biohacking Swiss-army-knife Josh Holland joins me to demystify the two lowest-effort, highest-return upgrades most high performers skip: true hydration and grounding then stacks on electrical muscle stimulation (EMS) to wake up stubborn muscle groups and fast-track strength. Expect simple protocols you can run today (no guru gear required) and the mindset shifts that keep them sticky. 

In this episode you’ll learn:

• Hydration ≠ more water: Why your body needs minerals (electrolytes) to conduct, recover, and focus and a starter mix you can make at home.
• Grounding 101 (without the woo): What it does for inflammation, blood viscosity, and nervous system load and when to avoid overdoing it on BP meds.
• Are you actually grounded? Three ways to test: continuity tester (yes/no), a voltmeter (watch your body voltage drop), and a resistance meter for finer reads.
• Feet, fascia, and flow: Why intrinsic foot strength changes your whole-body “signal” during grounding and movement.
• EMS, explained: DC vs. AC current, waking up fast-twitch fibers, and pairing suits with smart movement so results translate off the mat.
• Belief > burnout: How pros sabotage by over-giving and the alignment fix that stops the “do more to prove more” spiral.

Tools & mentions: Baja Gold Ocean Minerals; baking soda + minerals + sparkling (CO₂) to form magnesium bicarbonate; grounding mats/sheets; continuity tester, voltmeter, “sure-ground” style meter; Vivobarefoot; EMS training suits.

Health note: If you’re on blood pressure medication, introduce grounding gradually and monitor how you feel. Too much baking soda = “disaster pants” (start small, titrate).

Are you the Swan, calm on the surface, chaos underneath? You hit goals, then your energy, focus, or intimacy crashes. So you double down on strategy or run to healing, but rarely both.

In this episode:

• Spot the loop: win → crash → grind → repeat
• Push vs. Pause framework (3 signs you should pause)
• The E-Brake Test: jaw/chest/gut tells + a 90-second reset
• Map the emotion under the behavior (not just the task list)
• Align goals to nervous system capacity, then execute with ease

Try this now:

• Am I pushing because it’s time, or because I’m avoiding a feeling?
• Where is my e-brake on (jaw, chest, gut)?

Hitting a ceiling even though you “know what to do”? Investor and advisor David Corsini joins Patrick to show why strategy stalls without awareness and how to use a simple values elicitation to unlock momentum in business, health, and home. We get real about compartmentalizing emotions, why ultra-logical leaders resist looking inward, and a wild truth: the belief “there isn’t enough time” can make you either frantic or frozen. You’ll leave with a clean, repeatable path: Awareness → Integration → Implementation plus a body-based “e-brake” check so your plan actually sticks.

In this episode:

• How to map your values stack (12–15 words) for any domain: business, health, finance
• Why compartmentalizing helps in the room but hurts after unless you process it
• Awareness first: the fastest way to see what’s really driving your decisions
• A live example: “no urgency” traced to the belief “there isn’t enough time”
• The E-Brake Test: use the body (not just the brain) to confirm your plan

This one’s for the men who shoulder it all and still feel alone. ER-nurse-turned-coach Tah Whitty joins Patrick to talk about why so many high performers feel unsafe in their own bodies, and how safety isn’t given by others; it’s built from within and amplified by the environment. We get real about the difference between instinct (programming) and intuition (knowing), how “science as religion” can disconnect us from our inner signals, and why preparation + integration often matter more than any single breakthrough moment. If you’ve been overthinking and under feeling, this convo is your pattern interrupt.

In this episode:

• Safety is a practice, not a promise: how to create it for yourself and with your crew
• Loneliness, shame, and why so many men get stuck in silent struggle
• Instinct vs. Intuition and how to start trusting the right voice
• When data helps and when it blocks the body’s truth
• The Condor Approach: prep + integration for any transformational work
• Simple cues to know you’re safe enough to open up (and when you’re not)

Season 3 opens with a three-episode drop (followed by weekly episodes) recorded on the road in Spain. Patrick contrasts the Western “grind harder” model with a Mediterranean rhythm that blends movement, simple food, sunlight, and social connection, and explains why this combination lowers stress without sacrificing ambition. You’ll also hear a candid conversation with a Europe-based high-performance coach on working all three lanes—body, belief/emotion, and (when you’re ready) spirit, plus the everyday practices that make it stick.

What we cover:

• What Spain gets right for high performers: walkable life, bikes, beaches, and uncomplicated meals that still fuel performance
• The “be present first, push second” reset that calms your system without killing your edge
• The Four S’s you can steal today: Solitude, Stillness, Silence, Simplicity
• Will vs. willpower: how to build desire-driven consistency (not white-knuckle bursts)
• Micro-habits that actually fit real life: start with a 1-minute body scan, then scale
• How to chunk big goals and only progress the habit once it feels easy

Season 2 finale! If you’re feeling drained, you’re likely on the wrong end of an energy exchange, in pricing, in client work, or at home. In this episode of the Freedom Mastery Belief Breakthrough Podcast, Patrick breaks down why money is just energy-for-value, why worthiness , not strategy, sets your rates, and how overdelivering out of misalignment creates desperation (which quietly repels clients and intimacy). You’ll learn how to give 100% presence without burning out, receive at 100% without guilt (hello, “linger-hug” test), and set boundaries so growth feels clean, not costly.

What we cover:

• Pricing as energy: charge what you can say without a flinch
• The overdeliver trap: why “more” isn’t better once the water’s already boiling
• Desperation’s energetic signature (and why it pushes people away)
• Relationship math: give 100% presence, receive 100%—and ask for mutual value
• Why clients must invest more energy than you (or you disempower them)
• Gratitude that works: don’t list it—feel it so your state actually shifts

You can’t stop life from throwing elbows, flights delay, kids ignoring, and clients ghosting. But you can stop frustration from ruining your day. In this episode of the Freedom Mastery Belief Breakthrough Podcast, Patrick shows why frustration is your nervous system tapping you on the shoulder: a mirror revealing the belief that needs updating.

From a Toronto travel saga to real client stories, you’ll learn how to turn “I’m annoyed” into “I’m informed,” and how to calm your system fast so you can actually use the data.

What we cover:

• Why frustration shows up (and how it’s your subconscious saying “wake up”)
• The 2 questions that dissolve reactivity:
  1. What do I need to learn here?
  2. Where am I doing this in my life?
• “Common sense” isn’t common, how upbringing and belief loops fuel blow-ups
• The 4 stages to process emotions: look → see → don’t react → act
• Why smart high-performers need a mirror (your brain is too cunning to self-diagnose)
• Practical examples (road rage, VA mishaps, skipped workouts) you can flip into growth
