What if joy, not pressure, is the real marker of success?


In this episode, I sit down with Renzie Hanham, a martial arts master and mental skills coach who has shaped Olympic athletes, business leaders, and everyday high performers.


He’s one of the minds behind the globally respected Red to Blue framework, and someone I deeply admire for his wisdom, humility, and presence.


We explore decades of experience across sport, leadership, and life, and how to stay grounded through it all.


Here’s what we cover:


  • The daily rituals that keep Renzie mentally sharp and physically strong at nearly 80
  • How the Red to Blue model helps people stay focused when pressure hits
  • Lessons on grief, change, and staying connected as we grow older
  • Why clarity, kindness, and acceptance are the keys to better relationships


If you're craving calm, clarity, and more meaning in how you lead and live, this episode is for you.
