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 127
Today's message is inspired by a quote from the American philosopher and writer, Robert Pirsig, and illustrates why we all need to create more idle space in our lives. We discuss the danger of overconsuming information, a reflection from Los Angeles Lakers' head coach on turning your mind "off and on," and how intentional pauses can help you internalize what you learn. It will help you reframe rest as part of performance, not the opposite of it.
