Resilience, Trust, and Growth: O2X Founder Adam La Reau on Creating High-Performing Teams

Pete Kadushin, PhD Episode 59

What makes an organization truly high-performing? It’s not just the leader at the top, it’s the system, the culture, and the people who are working together toward a shared mission.

In this episode of The Mental Training Lab I sit down with Adam La Reau, co-founder and President of O2X Human Performance. A former Navy SEAL turned organizational builder, Adam has dedicated this phase of his career to helping first responders, tactical athletes, and high level sports teams to unlock their highest potential.

We talk about what separates good teams from great ones, why trust and accountability matter, how resilience is cultivated, and how tools like after-action reviews (AARs) can transform setbacks into growth.

Whether you’re leading in sports, business, or life, this conversation is packed with lessons you can put into practice immediately. You’ll walk away with practical frameworks for building a culture of excellence and supporting your team so they can perform their best when it matters most.
