This week’s podcast tackles “Fitness Alpha,” a concept that links health to peak performance. Dr. Phil Pearlman argues that healthier individuals make better decisions, manage stress, and avoid breakdowns – especially relevant for high-pressure professions like finance.
He emphasizes the importance of tuning into bodily and emotional cues. This is essential for highly motivated people prone to pushing themselves too hard. Reconnecting with your inner self builds resilience.
Phil is the founder of the Pearl Institute. He’s trained in clinical psychology and enjoyed a successful career in financial services. He’s dedicated to helping people “grow healthier, perform better, lead stronger and make wiser decisions through long-term health planning and performance coaching.
Phil has been my personal executive coach for the past three years. I hope you enjoy our conversation.
