Think Mastery with Dr. Yishai
Built for high-performers who don’t need help.
Just leverage.
This is the show that breaks what quietly kills performance at scale.
Especially the mental patterns slowing down even the smartest founders.
If you never want to get dragged down by pressure, burnout, or hesitation… welcome home.
Hosted by doctor of psychology and executive coach Dr. Yishai Barkhordari.
Think Mastery with Dr. Yishai
Why Founders Stay Busy but Avoid the Work That Matters (Nicholas Louise) | 378
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
A founder blocks time for sales.
The calendar fills anyway.
Client work.
Slack messages.
Problems that feel urgent.
By the end of the day, nothing new entered the pipeline.
Not because the founder lacks discipline.
Because some work feels heavier than others.
Nicholas Loise helps founders build sales teams that scale beyond them.
In this conversation, something uncomfortable shows up.
Why the work that grows a company is often the work founders quietly avoid.

WHAT TO DO NEXT
Share
this with a founder who is working hard but avoiding the work that actually moves the business. Ask them, “what do you know you should be doing, but you end the day without getting it done?” It will land, and they’ll know you are the person who cares about their success mode.

ABOUT THE PODCAST
You were built for speed.
But right now you feel slower than you look on paper.
Most founders try to outwork that slow-down.
It only burns them out.
Your mind is the only machine your company doesn’t upgrade.
So leaders keep pushing against the wrong thing.
