What makes some people execute under pressure while others freeze?

In this episode of Built on Behavior, Brooke Trometer sits down with Hollywood actor, stuntman, and peak performance strategist Gian Shaw to explore the mindset behind confidence, discipline, identity, and execution.

Known for his work on productions like S.W.A.T. and General Hospital, Gian shares the real-life experiences that shaped his philosophy on peak performance, from struggling financially with only $1.96 in his pocket to building a career in Hollywood and coaching high performers around the world.

Together, Brooke and Gian unpack:

  • why discomfort creates growth
  • how to stop hesitating and start executing
  • the psychology of performance under pressure
  • why authenticity creates confidence
  • the importance of environment and relationships
  • how identity shapes success
  • the mindset behind discipline and consistency
  • why most people stay stuck even when they know what to do

Gian also breaks down his G-CODE™ framework:
Gratitude. Clarity. Ownership. Discipline. Execution.

This conversation is packed with practical mindset shifts for entrepreneurs, leaders, creators, athletes, and anyone trying to break out of fear, self-doubt, or inconsistency and become the person capable of performing when it matters most.

If you’ve ever struggled with confidence, overthinking, fear of failure, or taking action at the next level, this episode will challenge the way you think about growth and success.
