In the second of a special two-part episode, performance psychologist Gio Valiante calls on his vast experience working with some of the world’s top athletes and entrepreneurs. Shane and Valiante discuss failure and the fear that holds you back from making the most of your talent, shifting from an ego orientation to a mastery orientation, common misconceptions about success and failure, and how we learn when it’s time to cut our losses and move on to a different challenge.

Valiante is regarded as one of the most successful performance coaches in the world. He’s worked extensively with golfers on the PGA and LPGA Tours, Olympic athletes, and leading figures in NCAA football and the NFL, where he served as the Head Performance Coach of the Buffalo Bills. He has also logged over 5,000 hours coaching some of the most sophisticated investors in the world, including hedge fund manager Steve Cohen.
