Finding Peak w/ Ryan Hanley · 2026-06-10 · 1h 3m
Episode notes
You sold the company. You hit the number. You bought the house. So why do you still feel empty? Blake Mycoskie founded TOMS Shoes, pioneered the One for One model, and sold his company at a $650M valuation. He achieved every entrepreneurial dream. Then, he fell into a deep depression. I help founders & executives generating more than $10M in revenue find their Easy Mode. Start here: Watch this episode on YouTube: In this episode, Ryan and Blake deconstruct the high-achiever's curse: the constant, gnawing feeling of "never enough." They discuss why the inner critic is a liar, the danger of over-optimizing your life, and how detaching from outcomes is the ultimate unlock for peak performance. Blake also reveals his experience using an AI therapist, his simple 15-minute morning routine, and why his current ventures (Move Lab and Morning Water) feel like "easy mode." Stop living in the future. Anchor yourself in the present.
