Sales and revenue roles come with pressure. So how do you perform at your best without burning out or paying the “success tax”? 

What if your biggest asset isn’t what’s on your resume, but what’s happening in your brain and body? 

With burnout and quiet quitting at an all-time high, this is a must-listen for all revenue leaders building high-performance teams. 

We revisit two of our most loved podcast conversations with Jay Pottenger, GM of EQ Minds and a postgraduate in mental health and neuroscience, and Dr. Kristy Goodwin, Australia’s leading neuro-performance scientist. 

We’ve pulled the best moments from both conversations to explore what really drives performance, focus and recovery, both at work and beyond. 

If you're looking to step up your performance without the personal cost in 2026, and reset for the year ahead by breaking the cycle of constant busyness, this one’s for you. 

You’ll hear how top performers reset, manage their energy, and work with their biology rather than against it. 

What we cover: 

• What’s really driving burnout and mental fatigue, and what leaders can do 

• The performance foundations most teams skip 

• Reset rituals that replenish energy, focus, and brainpower

• Tiny daily habits that set the tone, and why they matter more than you think 

• What being ‘on’ constantly does to your brain… and your sales impact

• How to reclaim your focus from digital distractions 

• Guardrails teams are setting up to protect performance given Australia’s ‘Right to Disconnect’

• Why you can’t talk about performance without talking about wellbeing
