The elevate.epo Podcast
Psychology, Precision, Power.
Welcome to the elevate.epo podcast—where therapy ends and transformation begins. Hosted by Enrique Arteaga, MSc., this series breaks the mold of traditional mental health discourse. No DSM checklists. No passive listening. Just sharp, unfiltered insight into what it really takes to recalibrate your identity, optimize your emotional system, and move through the world with embodied leadership.
Each episode explores the mechanics of EPO (Executive Performance Optimization) and EROS (Embodied Relational Optimization System), drawing from real-world client breakthroughs, cultural analysis, and deep psychological pattern recognition. From founders to creatives, high-performers to seekers—this is where you come to decode your internal operating system and rewire it with precision.
You're not broken. You're underutilized.
Welcome to the upgrade.
