Built for Chaos: Training the Mind Like the Body with Chad McGehee - University of Wisconsin, Director of Meditation Training & Co-Founder of Inner Edge Meditation

You have the capability and you're prepared, but if pressure hijacks your attention, narrows your thinking, and makes you “lock up” when the moment matters - you're leaving food on the table. Chad McGehee shares how he’s brought mindfulness meditation training into elite contexts (Fortune 500 executives, FBI SWAT teams, NCAA coaches and student-athletes) by framing it like strength training. His training methods improve focus, composure, and decision-making.

Mindset with Brian Murphy: Belief is Contagious

ReliaQuest Founder and CEO, Brian Murphy, unpacks one of the most underrated performance advantages: Belief.Murph takes listeners back to the early days - before big wins or a proven track record - when starting a company was fueled less by certainty and more by conviction, necessity, and the refusal to say “I can’t.” He shares practical strategies for leaders on building belief through storytelling, normalizing failure, and stretching high-potential people by putting them in new environments to level up their game.In this conversation with mental performance coach Derin McMains, you'll also hear Murph talk about:Borrowing belief from othersDrawing confidence from past performancesSimplifying the futureThe takeaway is clear: belief is contagious - and so is doubt - so leaders must intentionally shape which one spreads.ReliaQuest exists to Make Security Possible, allowing security teams to detect and contain threats within minutes — anytime, anywhere.
