What happens when achievement, control, and constant motion finally break down? In this deeply reflective episode of Joey Pinz Conversations, Joey Pinz sits down with former professional table tennis player and performance coach Jure Koscak to explore chronic pain, nervous system regulation, emotional maturity, and the hidden cost of living in survival mode.
Raised in Slovenia and now living in Punta Cana, Jure shares how years of overtraining, relentless pressure, and internal tension eventually led to severe chronic pain and a complete rethinking of life. Through clinical somatics, breathwork, slowing down, and self-awareness, he discovered a new path centered on presence instead of performance.
This conversation dives into subconscious patterns, stress, trauma, healing, relationships, and why many high performers struggle to relax even after reaching success. Jure also explains how modern life disconnects us from our bodies — and why slowing down may be the key to clarity, health, and emotional freedom.
If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed, stuck in your own head, or constantly chasing the next outcome, this episode will challenge the way you think about success, pressure, and what it means to truly live.

At MSP GeekCon, Joey Pinz sits down with Monica Ozaruk for a fascinating conversation about systems thinking, operational excellence, creativity, habits, and what really keeps MSP owners awake at night. Monica shares how her background in acting unexpectedly shaped her communication style and how her obsession with process optimization led her into the MSP world through ConnectWise consulting.
From quote-to-cash workflows to habit stacking, Monica explains why successful MSPs need more than tools — they need clarity, consistency, and systems that actually work. She breaks down how many MSPs unintentionally create operational chaos and why “run state” — a calm, scalable business environment — should be the real goal.
The conversation also dives into personal growth, mindset shifts, creativity returning later in life, wellness routines, and how habits create long-term success both personally and professionally.
If you're an MSP owner, entrepreneur, operations leader, or someone trying to create more focus and structure in life, this episode delivers practical insights with real-world honesty.
