On part A of this two part episode series, Adel discusses achieving high level, sustainable performance and excellence with Brad Stulberg. Brad is an author who writes and researches on the principles of mental health, human performance, and the mastery that transcend capabilities and domains. He is a regular contributor for the New York Times and his work has been featured in the Wall Street Journal and The Washington Post among other publications. He recently published his book "The Practice of Groundedness", in which he creates a structured approach to implementing these principles.

The pair begin by speaking about the reason Brad wrote this book. They then go on to discuss the concept of heroic individualism and why it falls short and is not a sustainable mindset for achieving long term success. Their conversation then covers The Practice of Groundedness from a high level view and how this is an improved approach to performance. They discuss initial concepts on the practice such as, focusing on the process (instead of the goal), acceptance, tempering expectations, and our sense of self and identity.
