Interview with Stuart McGuire

What You’ll Learn:

✔ How to recognize when your “chimp” is in control — and what to do about it

✔ The difference between emotional, rational, and programmed brain responses

✔ How to manage anxiety and fear in high-stakes situations like meetings and presentations

✔ Why we often overwork out of tribal guilt — and how to break that cycle

✔ How false beliefs can be reprogrammed — just like changing default settings in a computer

✔ Why rest, reflection, and celebration are essential for performance

Why You Should Listen:


Do you ever freeze in meetings, hold back from sharing your opinion, or overwork out of guilt or fear of letting others down? You’re not alone — and there’s a reason why.

This episode will help you:


  • Understand your emotional triggers
  • Reframe your reactions in high-pressure situations
  • Build better habits for communication, leadership, and resilience
  • And most importantly, take back control of your mindset

Whether you’re presenting to leadership, leading a project, or just navigating stress — The Chimp Paradox can equip you with the tools to respond more intentionally and perform at your best.
