MindSet Playbook: Recent Episodes
Larry R. Olsen
Most individuals and teams want to improve. They have areas where, if things were different, they’d achieve more in life and work. We’re all told breaking ingrained, ineffective habits is a slow, hard-won process, but it doesn’t have to be. “The Mindset Playbook” podcast provides science-based, actionable guidance on how to think, engage, and achieve more effectively. Join the conversation with guests who have proven plays for moving beyond the often fleeting feelings of motivation and inspiration to instead leverage strategies and tools that sustain meaningful progress and growth.
About The Host: Larry Olsen has worked with top Fortune 50 companies and professional athletes to establish their vision and sense of purpose. He is the founder and CEO of Aperneo, an achievement acceleration company providing individuals and teams quick, actionable guidance on how to break ingrained, ineffective habits.

What if the reason your business cannot scale is not your team, your strategy, or your market. It is you.
Rajesh Nagjee is a business physicist. Over more than 30 years, he has worked with over 350 CEOs across 15 countries to solve what he calls the founder bottleneck. That moment when a company is ready to scale but still depends on the founder for decisions, clarity, and stability. He is also the creator of CEO Freedom OS, a leadership architecture designed to help CEOs scale without losing control.
In this conversation, Larry Olsen sits down with Rajesh to talk about how the very person who built the company becomes the one holding it back. Not because they are not capable, but because the way they think, decide, and operate has not evolved at the same speed as the business itself.
What you'll hear:
• Why Rajesh believes recognition produces a fixed way of being (and how it locks founders into identity traps)
• The 1989 breakdown that reshaped Rajesh's entire methodology
• The observer effect in quantum physics applied to founder-run businesses
• The five default states of survival that keep leaders stuck (cynical, skeptical, resigned, cocky, arrogant)
• The two intersections: where whining lives, and where possibilities live
• Rajesh's father's line that shaped his life: the moment you decide, you will succeed
• What Rajesh learned from meeting Mother Teresa about ruthless compassion

What if the real threat of AI isn't that it replaces your job — but that it slowly replaces you? In this electrifying episode of The Brain Vault Podcast, Larry sits down with Derek Rydall — bestselling author, founder of the Whole New Human Movement, and host of the globally recognized Emergence podcast — for one of the most expansive conversations we've ever had about human potential, identity, and what we're really here to become.
After a near-death experience shattered his understanding of success, Derek spent decades bridging ancient wisdom with modern neuroscience to answer one question: what makes us truly irreplaceable?
In this episode, you'll hear:
Why AI is the greatest existential crisis and the greatest evolutionary opportunity we've ever faced
What the ancient Sanskrit meaning of "human" reveals about who you actually are
How the Oracle of Delphi's "Know thyself" was never an affirmation — it was a warning
Why your conditions don't determine your destiny, but your character does
The race car driver principle that explains why you keep hitting the same walls
Why knowledge is not power — and what to do with it instead
This conversation isn't just about surviving the AI revolution. It's about finally becoming who you were always meant to be.

Why do high-performing men lose their identity in midlife?
After 35 years on the front lines of emergency medicine and over 170,000 patients treated, Dr. Kenneth Ro stepped back and named something he was seeing repeatedly. The men coming through his ER weren't just breaking down physically. They were losing their identity, their edge, and their sense of purpose.
In this conversation, Larry Olsen sits down with Dr. Ro to talk about what happens when a man's identity gets fused to his profession, and what to do about it before it costs him his health, his relationships, or his career.
What you'll hear:
• The Triple Caretaker Effect and why most men get the order wrong
• Why "midlife crisis" is the wrong frame and what Dr. Ro calls a midlife inflection point
• The Stephen Covey line that most leaders have heard but very few apply: climbing the ladder against the wrong wall
• Dr. Ro on why silence is a bigger health risk factor than blood pressure or cholesterol
• What happens when I've attached who I am to what I do?

Dr. Kenneth Ro is a double board certified emergency physician with 35+ years on the front lines of emergency medicine and over 170,000 patients treated.

What if the only real limit is the story your brain keeps accepting? Kyle and Brent Pease — co-founders of the Kyle Pease Foundation and veteran Ironman competitors — have completed over 150 races together, including multiple Ironman events, with Kyle racing from his wheelchair. But this isn't a story about disability. It's about what becomes available when you decide to see possibility where others see a ceiling. In this episode, Kyle and Brent share how a single question — can people in wheelchairs do an Ironman? — launched a movement that helped over 170 athletes cross more than 1,300 finish lines in one year alone. If you want to lead at a higher level, perform with more grit, and discover what you're actually capable of, this conversation will rewire the way you see your own limits.

What if your best chapter isn't behind you — it's the one you finally have time to write?
Michael Fors spent decades in sales, knocked on thousands of doors, and heard more nos than most people ever will. Then he retired. And instead of slowing down, he did what most people only talk about — he acted on an idea he'd been sitting on for years, got a patent, and built something entirely new.
In this episode of The BrainVault Podcast, Michael and Larry explore what it actually takes to move from idea to action, why a lifetime of hearing "no" is the best preparation for building something that works, and how the people who create the richest experiences — at the table and in the boardroom — are the ones who know when to slow the pace down.

What if the leadership that got us here is the very thing standing in the way of our survival? In this episode of The Brain Vault, Larry Olsen sits down with global powerhouse Maria Brinck to expose the "outdated mindsets" quietly failing our organizations and our planet. From the boardrooms of Europe to the indigenous circles of the Congo Basin, Maria has witnessed a transformation that most leaders are completely missing.
This isn’t about "doing better"—it’s about a total neurological and cultural evolution. Maria reveals how to stop looking for an external authority and finally become the "Inner Author" of your own life. If you’re ready to shatter the alpha-myth, reclaim your purpose, and tap into the $8.8 trillion secret of human engagement, this is the conversation you cannot afford to miss.
The world has changed. It’s time for your leadership to evolve. Press play and step into the future.

You're disciplined. You're committed. You show up every day and put in the work. But what happens when effort and motivation aren’t delivering the results you know you're capable of?
Santiago Brand is an international educator and consultant in brain mapping and neurofeedback who uses real brain data to reveal what's actually happening when people perform, stall, or burn out. Trained as both a sport and clinical psychologist, Santiago has spent over 17 years across more than 26 countries helping leaders and high performers improve focus, recover faster from stress, and perform with greater consistency—not by grinding harder, but by understanding the brain that's running the show.
In this conversation, Santiago reveals why even the most driven individuals hit invisible walls. You'll discover how trauma markers and emotional dysregulation show up in brain maps, why high performers resist the truth about their own humanity, and how quantitative EEG technology turns invisible obstacles into something you can finally work with.
Because once you see what your brain is doing, you can't unsee it—and that's when real transformation begins.
If you've ever felt like you're doing all the right things but the breakthrough still hasn't happened, this episode shows you exactly where to look next.
