Why High Performers Self-Sabotage - The Inner Circle Ep. 9

Why High Performers Self-Sabotage - The Inner Circle Ep. 9

In this episode of The Inner Circle, Mike and Kevin explore the hidden pattern of constructive self sabotage. Prompted by Mike’s story of losing $1.5 million in a failed acquisition, the conversation dives into identity, ego, and the quiet pressure that builds after a lifetime of achievement. They unpack: • Why high performers subconsciously engineer failure • The psychological cost of never losing • The difference between a midlife crisis and a midlife chrysalis • Why failure can feel unexpectedly liberating • How to minimize collateral damage when you feel the urge to blow it up This episode reframes failure not as destruction, but as initiation. A shedding of identity that creates space for something more aligned. If you’ve ever felt restless despite outward success, this conversation will help you understand why.
