Intro

Most people don’t have a time problem. They have an energy problem.

You wake up tired, grab coffee, check your phone, push through meetings, and crash by the end of the day wondering where your focus went. Sound familiar?

Mental Skills and Leadership Coach Andrew May has spent decades working with elite athletes, CEOs and world-class teams. His biggest insight: the people who perform best aren’t the ones who push harder: they’re the ones who manage energy better.

From the simple morning reset that recalibrates your body clock, to the overlooked recovery rhythms that athletes use to stay sharp under pressure, Andrew explains how small daily decisions compound into long-term performance, health and longevity.

If you want more clarity, sustained energy, and the ability to perform at your best for decades - not just today - this will challenge the way you structure your day.

In this episode Andrew talks about:

1:15 His experience and background working with high performing teams and the life shakeup that put him on his current path.

6:00 Why your brain is defaulting to bad far outweighing good and why traditional education doesn’t always prepare you for life.

9:30 Rolling through the decades and staying healthy into your later years.

16:30 Blue zones around the world where lifespan is higher than average and why managing your energy is the key to high performance.

20:45 Starting your day with the circadian reset for a natural energy boost and getting cold and hot temperature exposure.

28:15 How Andrew is helping the Wallabies rugby team manage their energy.

35:15 Pulsing energy throughout the day and the physiology of stress.

44:00 The 3x3x3 downregulation format and ending on a quote from the great Dr. Seuss.
