Stop Fixing Problems: A CEO's Solution-Focused Approach - Glen Lubbert | Ep 68


Listen Later

Feeling stuck trying to "fix" your problems? Glen Lubbert, CEO of Stamina Lab, reveals a radical, solution-focused approach to improving energy, focus, and resilience by building on what's *already* working, instead of dwelling on what's broken.


As a former Division I athlete and tech entrepreneur who faced burnout, Glen Lubbert now helps high-achievers thrive. He explains the core philosophy: "You're not broken." Discover why traditional problem-solving and root-cause analysis can keep you stuck, and how shifting to a solution-focused mindset empowers lasting behavior change—moving you from defense to offense in your life.


In this episode, you’ll discover:

· The key insight from athletics applied to well-being: Focus on where you want to go.

· Why the "You're Not Broken" philosophy is crucial for high-achievers.

· Solution-Focused Coaching vs. Traditional Coaching (and why it's more effective).

· The real reason most New Year's resolutions fail (and how to fix it by digging deeper).

· The principle behind the "Eight Magic Words" for transforming negative self-talk.

· How Stamina Lab helps people become their own best coach.

· Using personal health data constructively without causing overwhelm.

· The common mistake people make managing stress: focusing on the problem, not the desired state ("What do you want instead?").

· Glen's definition of innovation: Transformative thinking that starts within you.


This episode is essential for engineers, leaders, and anyone ready to ditch the guilt and shame of self-improvement and embrace a more empowering path to well-being.
