Ex-SAS Commander: The #1 Mistake High Performers Make
Thu Feb 05 2026
On this episode of Flow Zone, Mark sits down with Anthony ‘Harry’ Moffitt — SAS veteran, registered psychologist, human performance consultant and an author. He reveals why the most successful founders and elite performers he works with are falling apart on the inside, and why overthinking is the silent killer behind it all.
Harry introduces his powerful frameworks — "The Third Thing" and "The Fourth Pillar" — explaining why your business identity will consume you if you let it, and why philosophy is the missing piece in every high-performance model.
If you've ever felt trapped by your own success, this one's for you.
1:00 — Meet Harry Moffitt: "Don't let this place be all you are"
9:28 — The SAS is a prison yard you get to go home from — what that means for identity
14:33 — From the streets of Kabul on Friday to lamb chops with the kids on Sunday
20:32 — Military vs sport vs business: where the real parallels are (and where they break down)
26:25 — Why modernity is destroying our ability to think — and what to do about it
30:41 — The Third Thing: why every elite performer needs a life outside work and family
38:24 — The Fourth Pillar: the missing piece in every high-performance framework
47:32 — "Leadership is a moral act" — Harry's challenge to every founder and CEO listening
