From international hostage negotiations to coaching elite leaders, entrepreneurs, and performers, Chris explains why success under pressure always comes back to preparation, emotional control, and mastering your internal dialogue.Ben and Chris dive deep into the importance of process over emotion, why most people mentally defeat themselves before the moment even begins, and how gratitude can instantly shift your mindset when pressure hits.
