Emotional Energy: The Fuel You Didn’t Know You Were Out Of (with Dr. Jarrod Spencer)
What if your biggest barrier to peak performance isn’t your schedule—but your emotional energy? 🧠💥
In this episode, Kevin sits down with Dr. Jarrod Spencer, a psychologist who works with high-performers—from world-class athletes to overwhelmed executives—to unpack what’s really going on with burnout, emotional fatigue, and why Gen X is seriously running on fumes.
Dr. Spencer breaks down the science of emotional energy, why it matters way more than we think, and how managing it is the real secret to better sleep, sharper thinking, and actually enjoying your life again. They get into counseling (no, it’s not just for when you’re “in crisis”), the power of gratitude, and why excitement—not hustle—might be your most underused resource.
He also shares stories from working with legendary figures like Larry Holmes and Muhammad Ali, and what we can all learn from their emotional resilience.
🔑 Takeaways:
- Burnout is real—and hitting Gen X hard.
- Emotional energy isn’t woo-woo, it’s fuel.
- Rest and recovery aren’t lazy—they’re leadership.
- Counseling works (even when you're not falling apart).
- Gratitude and excitement can recharge your mental battery.
- Sleep is a non-negotiable performance tool.
- History has some pretty good advice if we’re paying attention.
🎧 Give it a listen, share with a friend who’s been running on empty, and maybe cancel that 5 a.m. “grindset” alarm while you’re at it.
