Peak Performance Perspectives with Mark Talukdar

Alessandro Grampa knows the dark side of entrepreneurship because he’s lived it. As a serial founder, he scaled companies to seven-figure revenues but also faced daily panic attacks, burnout, and the crushing isolation many entrepreneurs know all too well. In this powerful conversation, Alessandro pulls back the curtain on what really drives sustainable peak performance and why the hustle-at-all-costs mindset is a dangerous trap. Through his journey, he’s discovered that true success comes from balancing body, mind, and energy, and releasing the trapped emotional trauma that quietly drains founders. From quantum biology and biohacking to meditation, Eastern philosophy, and his unique six-step methodology, Alessandro shares how entrepreneurs can build resilience, clarity, and health without sacrificing their relationships or mental well-being.

Meet our Guest: I'm Ale Grampa—serial entrepreneur on a mission to redefine founder performance through ancient wisdom and cutting-edge science.After launching my first company at 19 and scaling several ventures past seven figures, I learned the hard way that revenue means nothing if the founder is running on cortisol.ADHD, anxiety, and several burnout episodes forced me to rebuild my life from the inside out. Meditation became a lifeline; biohacking rewired my chemistry; energy practices restored focus I never knew I’d lost. The conclusion was clear: Peak performance starts in the nervous system and ends in the P&L, only when mind, body, and energy are fully aligned. Not the other way around!
