What separates elite performers from everyone else? Is it talent, discipline, or mindset? In this milestone 40th episode of the Performance Pulse Podcast, I sit down with Josh Milligan, a former college football player and cognitive performance specialist for the U.S. Army at Fort Bragg.

At just 25, Josh is already working with some of the most disciplined and high-performing individuals in the world, helping them develop mental toughness, resilience, and the ability to perform under pressure.

We break down:
✅ The psychology behind high performance—what makes elite athletes, soldiers, and professionals different
✅ How to develop mental toughness and push through adversity
✅ The battle between task orientation vs. relationships—why some people neglect human connection in pursuit of greatness
✅ Why most people fear their potential more than they fear failure
✅ How to win the micro battles before championships are won
