About Michael Gervais

Dr. Michael Gervais is a high-performance psychologist who works with world-class athletes, Fortune 100 executives, and military personnel to help them perform under pressure. He is a co-founder of Compete to Create and host of the widely listened-to podcast 'Finding Mastery.' His work focuses on the psychology of high performance and what it takes to excel in high-stakes environments.

Mastery is found in the relentless pursuit of being your best self, driven by a clear inner narrative and freedom from the fear of others' opinions. Performance excellence is rooted in mindset, training the mind as rigorously as the body.

"The most important conversation you will ever have is the one you have with yourself."

"Fear of other people's opinions, FOPO, is one of the most dangerous things that is happening in our culture right now."
