In this foundational episode, Brian, Gigi, and Vic unpack the first phase of the Stillness Strategy™—a step-by-step system for emotional regulation, decision-making, and presence under pressure.

The team explores how the first 20 minutes of stillness bring up internal “loops”—unresolved thoughts, distractions, fears, and lies—that we often suppress. But instead of silencing or fixing them, we’re challenged to let the noise rise, observe without judgment, and build emotional capacity.

Stillness isn’t silence. It’s self-confrontation.

You don’t sit for clarity—you sit for capacity. The episode breaks down why this practice is critical for basketball officials, leaders, and anyone seeking peak performance and presence.
