Unlocking the Performance of Athletes, Finance, and Leadership with Sebastien Page

What if winning isn't the point?

In this UNLOCKED conversation, Sebastien Page breaks down why the most effective leaders, athletes, and high performers stop obsessing over the scoreboard and start focusing on mastery, resilience, and the long game. From nearly losing his life due to burnout to unpacking the PERMA model of positive psychology, Sebastien shows why health, relationships, and meaning are the real performance multipliers.

We talk sports psychology, leadership mistakes driven by fear, goal-induced blindness (Everest makes an appearance), and why knowing when to quit is one of the most underrated leadership skills. If you're tired of chasing short-term wins at the cost of everything else, this episode will recalibrate how you think about success.
