Ep. 74 Stillness is the New Strength: A Smarter Path to Executive Performance
Fri Jan 02 2026
We explore how high performers can reset from constant fight or flight to a calmer, stronger baseline using breath, community, sleep, and purpose. Pete Miller shares practical tools, from neuromuscular resets to eye-movement drills, and makes a case for basics over biohacks.
• defining holistic human performance across body, mind, social, spiritual
• neuromuscular reset to restore breathing and movement
• recognizing sympathetic overdrive and shallow chest breathing
• stillness as a skill to notice stress and patterns
• alcohol and coping versus intention and design
• community as a health input and Blue Zones insight
• food basics: whole foods, fewer ultra-processed options
• sleep priorities, 2–3 a.m. wakeups, cortisol timing
• downregulation tools: belly breathing and eye movements
• vulnerability, authenticity, and being known
• generational themes: remote work, mentorship, purpose
• reject age as an excuse, choose the hard that builds capacity
• how to work with Pete locally and remotely
