The Threshold Lab
The Threshold Lab is where “aha” moments and insights go to lift weights. Each episode cracks open a fundamental principle from the world of high performance and aims to transform how you think, work, and lead. Think of it like unlocking a door you’ve passed a hundred times, only to find it opens into a whole new way of thinking. If you're into mindset, growth, and the occasional mental mic drop, you're in the right lab.
Zach Brandon is a coach, speaker, and thought leader blending principles from psychology, coaching, and high performance to empower others toward personal and professional excellence.

Episode 20
Ever watch a dog spin in circles before lying down? It’s instinct. But it’s also a perfect metaphor for how we as humans spin and circle our thoughts, behaviors, and emotions. In this episode, we break down why our brains crave familiarity (even if it keeps us stuck) and how we can spot those mental “circling” patterns that sabotage progress. If you’ve ever waited for the perfect moment to act, this episode will help you stop spinning and start building the capacity to move forward, even when it feels uncomfortable.
