Why regulate emotions, not eliminate them

Most people think peak performance means shutting emotions down. Wrong move. You don't need to eliminate emotions, you need to regulate them.

In this episode, Brian Gubernick breaks down a three-step framework from Dr. Becky Kennedy (popularized on Shane Parrish's Knowledge Project) that puts you back in control under pressure.

The AVP model: Acknowledge, Validate, Permit, isn't soft. It's a control system for your nervous system. Whether you're leading a team, coaching a kid, or talking yourself through a high-stakes moment, this framework helps you calm the noise, choose clarity over chaos, and respond instead of react.

Brian shares practical scripts you can steal for leadership, self-talk, and family life. Plus, the biggest mistakes people make with emotional regulation (and how to avoid them).
